At some point you have to wonder if they are trying to out-crazy each other for limited Fox News screen time, or they ARE really this crazy.

Bombshell report: Lewes cannonball found!

The cannonball from the Lewes Maritime Museum at the Cannonball House along Front Street has been returned. The disappearance grabbed the attention of the First Town in the First State, prompting a slew of amateur detectives to take up the case both online and at the site itself.

“The case of the cannonball caper has come to a close,” said Lewes Historical Society Executive Director Andrew Lyter at a press conference outside the Cannonball House. He said the return of the symbol speaks to the community of Lewes.

Zwaanendael Museum Lead Historical Interpreter Devon Filicicchia found the missing cannonball on the sidewalk in front of the Fisher-Martin House along Kings Highway on her way into work the morning of Feb. 23.

I expect a long legal battle over who owns the movie rights to this riveting true crime drama.

Leaving aside the fact that our planet is burning to a crisp and the most murderous countries are just going to try and grab the most promising looking ash piles  – war seems less and less worth it.

I mean, I’m no economist, but if it costs eleventy billion dollars to produce and man an aircraft carrier, and that aircraft carrier could be sunk in the opening minutes of the next war by something that cost a fraction of eleventy billion dollars, doesn’t that give the cheapskates the upper hand?

Extra large uncrewed underwater vehicles (XLUUVs) are quickly becoming a major trend in naval warfare. Leading navies have initiated programs to develop and explore these. Currently, the U.S. Navy and Royal Navy appear to be in the lead, both in experimentation and in orders.

But China too has been working on this capability. China has at least 5 designs in the water, many more than any other navy. But their development has been shrouded in secrecy.

 

Republican racist/xenphobic performance art in Texas is really going off the rails.

Chinese community in Texas are incensed over a proposal to ban them from buying property in the state

“I have never seen the Chinese community this active and this motivated in my entire adult life. The community is inflamed right now. They are enraged.”

Protesters in Houston, Texas organize on Feb. 11, 2023 against proposed state Senate Bill 147, which would restrict citizens of China and three other countries from buying property in the state.

Delaware’s most overrated town is really missing its “replica orb” 

“Meatball Ron” was a clear favorite (89%) for a nickname for Ron Desantis among the nicknames Trump was beta-testing.  I happen to like “Mini Me” as it is both derisive and by including the word “Me” allows Trump to keep the focus on his favorite topic.   I also really liked “Bootsie” as it keeps fresh the image of the ridiculous DeSantis looking ridiculous.

As for this week’s poll – we’re back to local with a real evergreen tracking poll.   “Who will succeed John Carney as Governor of Delaware?”   Note that this isn’t – “Who would you like to succeed John Carney as Governor of Delaware?” although that sentiment will undoubtedly bleed through.

If you vote for Republicans you are a bad credit risk (in addition to being a dumb-fuck).

Republicanism Linked to Poor Financial Decision Making

The region’s poor credit means Southerners are paying more to borrow money, assuming they can qualify for loans at all. That sets them back in everything from car and home purchases to credit card rewards. Yes, even credit card rewards.

Now that the Dominion Voting case has shown, conclusively,  that Fox News is not a “news” organization in any sense – can the media stop pretending that Fox News is a news organization?

President Trump was denying the outcome of the election, and Fox hosts fearedthat he could turn his anger on them if they didn’t go along. “ …

I had been expecting a headline like the one below for a long time, but the coup has come and gone. DEGOP moderates never stood a chance so they never put up a fight. It’s like after Castle lost to O’Donnell, they just all said “fuck it.”   They’re all MAGA nutbags and really aren’t concerned with ever winning state wide ever again.  

It is now impossible to see how Hunter Biden avoids doing hard time in Gitmo’ over these HUGE payoffs from the Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Wait, what..? It was Jared & Trump. Oh never mind.

Former US president Donald Trump and his former senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner are still receiving financial benefits after fostering a close relationship with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during their time in office, the Washington Post reported this week.

This murky relationship with the Saudis puts Trump’s integrity into question as the 2024 US presidential election approaches.

The Saudis provided both Trump and Kushner with sizable investments after their term, during which they bolstered MBS’s grip on the country by arranging that Trump’s first presidential trip be to Saudi Arabia, meeting with him in the US, and siding with him in several controversies.

For a measly 95 bucks you can listen to this dork talk about how climate change is a hoax.   Or this dork talk about how we really can’t do anything about mass shootings because “freedom” the flag and Ronald Reagan.

GUEST SPEAKERS

David R. Legates, Ph.D., C.C.M.

Legates received a B.A. in Mathematics and Geography (double major) in 1982, a M.S. in Geography-Climatology in 1985, and a Ph.D. in Climatology in 1988, all from the University of Delaware.  His expertise lies in hydroclimatology/surface water hydrology, precipitation and climate change, spatial analysis and spatial statistics, and statistical/numerical methods.  Legates’ dissertation was entitled “A Climatology of Global Precipitation” and focused on obtaining a better picture of global precipitation by incorporating a high-resolution precipitation gage database that was adjusted for changes in instrumentation and biases associated with the precipitation gage measurement process.  His climatology of precipitation continues to be widely used as it is still the only global climatology available that addresses the gage measurement bias problem.

DEGOP openly takes these non-partisan school board elections as a partisan training ground for follow on elections in a way that democrats don’t.  They haven’t been very successful MAGAfying Delaware’s school boards yet.  But they keep grinding.    

It’s the ides of Feb.  And I have to sadly admit that I let my Highlands Bunker listening lapse while took all the football talk into my earholes.  (FTR, the sports talk all boils down to “nobody knows nothing” so that was a bloody waste of time.). Anyway, which of these should be prioritized above the others?
