Five Takeaways From The Jan. 6 Hearings. First and foremost, Trump was at the center: They made it clear that, for all his ongoing bluster about stolen elections, Mr. Trump had knowingly spread claims about election fraud that people closest to him knew were false, tried to use the apparatus of government and the courts […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., June 9, 2022
The Senate didn’t pass the Budget Bill yesterday, and it’s not on today’s Agenda. Good. Gives us the weekend to scour the Epilog Language. The House Administration Committee released both HB 450 and HB 451 from committee yesterday. HB 450, the assault weapons ban, is on today’s House Agenda. I’ll be especially interested to see […]

Will Serial Sexual Predator Be Cleveland’s Starting QB This Year? Cleveland traded for this guy while completely aware of his alleged proclivities. His former team enabled his behavior, including requiring NDA’s from victims: The accusations have been frequent and startling: more than two dozen women have said the football star Deshaun Watson harassed or assaulted them […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., June 8, 2022
A productive day yesterday. Limits on assault weapons magazines passes in the Senate (will House weaken the bill again?); same-day voting registration passes the House. BTW, it’s official. Bill Bush is the House’s Joe Manchin. Only D to vote against same-day registration. Here is the Daily Activity Report for Tuesday. Could the Annual Budget pass […]

Soulful Gospel powerhouses: This Friday at 5:30 p.m. in the Arden Shady Grove, right below the Gild Hall. While most of the music will be sacred Gospel, secular beer and wine will be offered.

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 7, 2022
Let’s not bury the lede: After (that word again) burying and/or weakening meaningful gun control legislation for almost two years, the House will finally be SHAMED into taking action, beginning this week. We have a well-timed spate of gun violence to thank for their reversal. (Maybe if we had had a recent George Floyd incident […]

Had a great relaxing weekend getaway. Clearing the mental clutter is a wonderful exercise. However, the weight of disappointing tens of thousands of our readers was always with me. I’m back to salve (or heighten) your disappointment. The Four Gun Control Measures That Could Have Saved 446 Lives: If the key gun control proposals now […]

General Assembly Tries ‘Do-Over’ On Gun Bills. You know, after the Kop Kabal destroyed the assault weapons bill and buried the background check bill in committee. Someone even woke up John Carney, who had been characteristically AWOL on the issue, to make a statement. Or maybe they just wrote it and sent it out, figuring […]

Drink Coffee. Don’t Die. My kind of scientific study: That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: May, 2022
Another great month, full of diversity. And some true tours de force. I’m sure you’ll find plenty to enjoy: The artist is Jett Kwong: My first take: He could be the artist I hoped Mac Demarco would become: ‘I’m making all my rules up.’ Nathan Arizona’s fave of the month?: I briefly worried that Bartees […]

Company That Made The Texas Killer’s Assault Weapon Marketed It To Kids. Hey, it’s just like vaping: The Texas shooting, which left 19 schoolchildren and two teachers dead and more than a dozen wounded, has put a national spotlight on Daniel Defense, a family-owned business in Georgia that has emerged as a trailblazer in an […]
BREAKING NEWS!: Stephanie Bolden Faces Primary Challenger!
While I hate to break news on a holiday weekend, news like this will brighten your day. One James Taylor (no, not that one) has announced that he will challenge one of Delaware’s most corrupt legislators. You know, Stephanie Bolden, the Slumlords’ Best Friend. My understanding is that some of our favorite political activists have […]
