Mississippi Goddam: Remember when the El Supremos eviscerated the Voting Rights Act b/c they didn’t see any deliberate non-compliance on the part of the southern states? Guess they overlooked Mississippi: JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi is violating the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment by permanently stripping voting rights from people convicted of some […]

All In The Timing. Looks like the DC case is gonna go first. No-nonsense judge, no pesky co-conspirators on trial with him, trial date to be set on August 28. Don’t think Trump’s mouthpieces can stop this one from happening sooner rather than later: What is coming into focus for me is that we’re likely […]

Fox Begs Trump To Show Up At Their Debate. Maybe he’ll agree if Fox makes its ‘fair and balanced’ coverage even more fair and balanced: Shortly after learning he was being indicted a third time, former President Donald J.

DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #10-RD 15

She’s had a couple of half-hearted primary challenges from James Burton, who had no money. Burton’s last challenge came in 2016, where he got about 35% of the […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July, 2023
Best month of the year? Quite possibly. So much stellar stuff and so much variety: I’ve found the songs of Big Thief resistable–until now: For lovers of the Wild Tchoupitoulas which, come to think of it, should be everybody.

DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #11–RD 34

Some of these races already have challengers. Some […]

Trump Support Softening. I’m not much of a believer in polls, especially this far out from the election.

The Judge Got It Right. When the prosecution and defendant can’t agree on what they had agreed to, you can’t sign off on something like that: The hearing started to derail when Noreika began asking Hunter Biden questions as part of a mostly standardized conversation to ensure the defendant is knowingly and willfully accepting the […]
