General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 16, 2022
Everything on both agendas passed. Nobody in the Senate cared about the Ft. DuPont rip-off or the giveaway to out-of-state veterans who would move here. A Delaware Way kind of day. We only have committee meetings today. Senate Committee highlights: SB 233 (Lockman) simply tries to formalize municipal voter registration by only requiring voter registration […]

I’ve been writing about the ethical sewer that is the Fort DuPont project since 2014. With no, no, impact on the General Assembly. Other advocates, armed with all sorts of empirical evidence on the irreparable harm the project could cause, have become part of the effort. With no, no, impact on the General Assembly. The […]

First Amendment Lawyers Rooting For Media–To Lose? I might be right with them: The suits, which are being argued in several state and federal courts, accuse Project Veritas, Fox News, The Gateway Pundit, One America News and others of intentionally promoting and profiting from false claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election, and of […]

Abortions Are Illegal In Texas. The last in-state appeal of Texas’ draconian law was denied by the Texas Supreme Court: In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that state licensing officials do not have the ability to enforce the law banning abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. This lawsuit was widely seen as the […]

The Latest On Putin’s War. More like Putin’s obsession. Looks like the only way it ends is if someone in Russia takes out Putin. If you want your propaganda with a positive spin, Kos is here to help. Based on his praising the inevitability of Hillary Clinton, I’d take his words with more than a […]
Delaware Political Weekly: March 4-10, 2022
1. Three-Way D Primary In SD 14–So Far. Including just the kind of character that makes Delaware politics so weirdly fascinating. That third candidate deserves, and will get, his very own intro music. Coming in just a graf or two. Or three. Kyra Hoffner, who had already announced, and who has previously been profiled here, […]

No burying the lede here: The House will consider the legalization and regulation of recreational marijuana today. The bill requires 25 yes votes (3/5 majority). If all D’s voted yes, the bill would pass with one vote to spare. There are 17 co-sponsors, all of them D. The following D’s are not sponsors on the […]

The Guardian Provides Excellent Source Of Up-To-Date Ukraine-Russia News. A go-to resource. Cause/Effect: Trump plane (allegedly) makes emergency landing. Trump fund-raises for new plane. Which reminds me: Has anyone outside the Trump orbit confirmed the plane’s distress, or are we just once again believing serial liars? Some More Ft. DuPont Stink. It won’t dissipate, not […]
Marijuana Legalization On Thursday’s House Agenda!
Here’s the bill. If your state rep is not on the bill as a sponsor, you know what to do. Do it.
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 9, 2022
FEATURING: NICOLE & VAL TRY TO PULL ANOTHER FAST ONE! But first, some real good news. The Paid Family & Medical Leave Act passed the Senate yesterday. All D’s voted for it. All R’s voted against it. I confess that I don’t understand some of the dismissiveness I’ve seen here on the blog. Some people […]

Paid Medical And Family Leave. I’ve been around so long that I can recall the debate on unpaid Medical And Family Leave. The Chamber warning of the ‘slippery slope’ this could lead to. Me thinking, “That’s a pretty good slippery slope.” Call today Slippery Slope Day. Sarah McBride has crafted a bill that, while less […]
BREAKING: DeShanna Neal Announces Run Against Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell!!
No way this was gonna keep until Friday. Mitchell has known for awhile, hence my ‘sweating bullets’ reference on Friday. Make no mistake, this is big. I see no way the Kop Kabal leadership can survive if Mitchell falls. And DeShanna Neal is a serious challenger. Here is how she first became an effective advocate: […]

Bud Wins. So Do Guinness And Harp’s. 2210 to 1015. IMO, that’s an excellent turnout for a Special Election. Registration is destiny: “This wasn’t something I went looking for,” Freel said. “I was approached and asked to run, and I did. (He could have always said ‘no’.) I’m just anxious to go down to Dover […]
