Why does John Carney hate pedestrians? Among civilized states - Delaware has the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities "Your blogging licensing and registration, please" I hope this Desantis style "freedom" doesn't…

And lo, the answer came forth clear…

Whan that new poll by Mason-Dixon fair
Did make its way unto the air Conducted by the Fairness Campaign bright A pro-LGBTQ rights group with might The question posed did bring to light A topic of great moral right Should state leaders have the power To overrule parents' wishes hour by hour? And lo, the answer came forth clear From seventy-one percent without fear Nay, say they, such laws should not exist For parents' wishes should always persist In matters of their children's lives The power should rest in their hives For who can know a child's heart Better than those who from birth did impart? So let it be known throughout the land That parents' wishes should remain grand And state leaders should not interfere In matters of their children dear.
Dear ChatGpt - In the style of Chaucer, can you write a about A new Mason-Dixon poll by the Fairness Campaign, that showed 71% of respondents oppose laws letting state leaders overrule parents' wishes?

Poll Results – This Week’s Poll: Who do you want to be Delaware’s next Lt Governor?

As to the question  "Which issue should Bethany Hall Long pick to be her signature issue in the upcoming gubernatorial race?"

It was a dead heat with "Access to healthcare for women in post Roe Delaware (24%)" barely edging out  "Continuing the work of the Carney admin (21%)" and "Addressing the wanton lawlessness of DE Cops through LEBOR reform (23%)". All of those are funny to me. "Addressing the wanton lawlessness of DE Cops through LEBOR reform" is perhaps the most hilarious.  This has less than zero chance of being a concern of the possible Hall-Long administration.   But it reminds me... Pete wants a special license plate for cops.  I haven't followed it closely, but what does the plate commemorate? LEOBOR Today, LEOBOR tomorrow, LEOBOR forever! ? Onward to this week's The floor is open and please note the wording is: Who do you WANT to be the next Lt Gov.   So all you Tabatha fans, this is your moment.

The denial dog that never barked

Fox News has fully exposed itself as the for profit propaganda arm of the GOP.  Democrats are now free to stop pretending that it is "news" in a traditional sense.  Even members of the media fraternity are now saying that Fox News propaganda arm of the GOP.  But here is the interesting thing - nobody in the GOP or at Fox News denies it. They are candid - Fox News isn't a news service, its a propaganda service. No defenders of Fox have risen and attempted to make the case that Fox News is legitimate news.  Steve Bannon simply says that they are part of the GOP and a part that should be be doing a better job electing Republicans.  

The Real Target

The New York Times and other Trans-hating media outlets will want you to think that it isn't the trans youths they hate but the doctors and their diabolical sex change…
