Gotta make this quick–Arden Fair beckons (Catch me at the book sale from 10-12!) Brazil Shows Us The Way. This is how you get rid of that Musk-y Odor Of Misinformation: X began to go dark across Brazil on Saturday after the nation’s Supreme Court blocked the social network because its owner, Elon Musk, refused […]

The most important item(s) you’ll read all day is/are in the comments section of the Lydia York article. Suffice it to say that the State Democratic Party’s embrace of a nominee as consistently corrupt as Bethany Hall-Long is an utter disgrace. And spare me the bullshit about the democratic process that led to her endorsement. […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #1–Democratic Governor
Let’s not bury the lede: In recent Delaware history, meaning as far back as I can remember, there has NEVER been a candidate with such a lengthy litany of unethical and illegal behavior like Bethany Hall-Long. From the beginning of her political career up to the present, her actions and those of her husband create […]
Yo, Lydia, Any Reports Hanging Around Your Desk Just Waiting To Be Made Public?
An Open Letter To Lydia York, State Auditor: You and I both know something. The same thing. You are in possession of a report that could have a direct impact on a statewide race. Almost certainly will. You and I both know what report we are talking about. You and I are well aware of […]

Supreme Court Tells Students To Drop Dead. Oh, they’ll get around to considering it eventually, but we all know the result is pre-ordained: The Supreme Court has rejected the Biden administration’s emergency request to intervene in litigation that has blocked the president’s new student loan repayment program, leaving millions of borrowers in limbo. Biden launched […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #2–RD 15
Two in one day? Why? Because early voting has begun, and this story just HAS to be told to as many voters as possible. Besides, I finished it early. Pull up a chair, folks, this is gonna be a long one. Incumbent Val Longhurst, heretofore to be referred to as Our PAL Val, embodies everything […]
AG Jennings Goes There!
It’s where anybody who is paying attention should have already gone. Bethany Hall-Long has engaged in so much illegal and unethical activity that any reasonable person should realize that she absolutely should not be our next Governor. This unethical activity pretty much started when she first ran for office and (a) her husband stole her […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #3–RD 14
Yesterday, I wrote this: If you’ve been following the ‘most intriguing’ races series, you will note an overriding theme to most of the races–there’s a Delaware Way candidate and there’s someone challenging the Delaware Way. The Delaware Way in Dover reflects the insider casual corruption of Pete Schwartzkopf, Our PAL Val Longhurst, and their enablers. […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #4–RD 21
You all know Dr. Frank Burns. He almost defeated Mike Ramone in 2022 and likely hastened Ramone’s decision to abandon his home turf for Sussex County. And a race for Governor. Burns is a true progressive, twice endorsed by WFP, who has helped to train other progressive candidates for office. He gives back. His campaign […]

Of Runzas And Hot Pockets. Pretty sure you can put that single Nebraska electoral vote in the D win column…: A Runza, for the uninitiated, is a German-style meat and cabbage sandwich sold by a Nebraska-based hamburger chain of the same name. Walz’s caravan stopped at a Runza restaurant, at 77th and L Streets on […]

Mentally-Unfit Candidates Unite Under The Trump Banner. What could possibly go wrong, especially since Kennedy hadn’t made a campaign appearance since early July? Doesn’t CNN Vet Its ‘Undecided’ Voters? Nope. Here’s the story of the one allegedly undecided voter on their panel who, following Harris’ speech, said he was now for Trump: A man introduced […]
‘Real Men Support Strong Women’
Guest Post By La Somnambula I read an article today about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and how he supports his wife Vice President Kamala Harris. He quit his job as a lawyer to follow her to Washington, D.C. (So did Michele Obama, so did Hillary Clinton, but I digress). He is a man who eschews […]
