Delaware Political Weekly: November 24-30, 2023
1. Annnd, just like that, we have a Democratic primary for NCC Council President. Robert A. Williams, who previously served on Wilmington City Council, as filed. I spoke to him yesterday. He started as a policeman, then became an RN who, among other things, worked as a fraud investigator in the AG’s office. He said […]
Val Longhurst–Anti-Semitic Legislator AND Scofflaw Violator Of State Law
Both on behalf of Bethany Hall-Long. We’ve already established that Longhurst urged legislators to back BHL because, at least in part, Matt Meyer was part of some ‘Jewish cult’, apparently because Alan Levin is supposedly supporting him. A quick look at any of BHL’s campaign finance reports, original or ‘amended’, reveal plenty of Jewish donors. […]
RIP: Kathy MacDonough
Many of you knew her on this blog as Scarlet Woman. Without a doubt, one of my favorite commenters ever. Many of us knew her in ‘real life’. In my case, I first met her when she was a young reform-minded Democrat who was very active in ridding the party of Gene Reed, Sr. Since […]
BREAKING: UD To Go (Semi-) Big Time In Football
From Sports Illustrated: Delaware is preparing to join Conference USA in the 2025–26 academic year, according to multiple reports. With Delaware’s move from the FCS to the FBS, it would become the first program required to pay the $5 million application fee, per Brett McMurphy of Action Network. In October, the NCAA Division I Council raised the […]
Seeking DL’s MVP’s Of 2023
The floor is officially open for nominations! Who were those who were the most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware in 2023? They can be people, they can be organizations, they can be movements, however, they can’t be AI constructs. It could be someone who in no way is progressive. Christine O’Donnell won one […]
Delaware Department Of Elections ‘Ain’t Worth A Bucket Of Warm Spit’
When it comes to investigations, they opt out. They’ve now said so. From a must-read piece by Amanda Fries (h-t to Joe Connor, who apparently doesn’t sleep): Delaware elections officials have the authority to investigate campaign finance violations, but that oversight has never been used. The state Department of Elections said that it has “no […]

1. Jane Hovington To Carry D Banner In RD 37 Special Election. Despite Betsy Maron’s breathless prose, Hovington is a sacrificial lamb. Presumably offered up b/c nobody else stepped forward. A sample of the breathless prose: I am so proud to announce that Jane Hovington has stepped up as the Democratic nominee for the upcoming […]
I Get A Letter From ‘Doctor’ Bethany Hall Long
Well, actually, my wife did. But it was addressed to me. ‘Doctor’ Bethany Hall Long wants to make sure I’ve, uh, had my shots: Hi Stephen, I may be running for Governor, but I’m proud to say I’ve been a nurse for my entire career. Over the years I’ve seen people and families in some […]
Buy Weed? Can’t They Just Drink Instead?
The Atlantic coast is supposedly the liberal part of Sussex County. So why are its beach towns treating cannabis sales like a pool hall coming to River City? As a News Journal article noted last week, Dewey, Rehoboth, Bethany, Ocean View and Fenwick Island all have banned the legal sale of the devil’s lettuce. You […]
Fighting Against Medicare Advantage
Guest post by Representative John Kowalko (25th District, retired) Over the past year and a half, I have dedicated much of my energy to exposing the fraudulent and dishonest Medicare Advantage Plans for what they are. This issue has now become the focal point of thousands of ads on television promoting the private insurance industry’s […]
Delaware Political Weekly: November 10-16, 2023
1. Special Election In RD 37. State Representative Ruth Briggs King has resigned her House seat effective immediately as she has just moved out of her district. By current Rethug standards, King was pretty reasonable. Definitely not a bomb-thrower. BTW, the only female member of the House GOP Caucus. She had previously given everyone a heads-up […]
George Santos And Bethany Hall Long: Separated At Birth?
Does this sound familiar?: …investigators found evidence that _____ used campaign funds for personal purposes, defrauded donors and filed false or incomplete campaign finance and financial disclosure reports… Let’s fill in the blank: George Santos. Immediately following the release of the House Ethics Committee report this morning, Santos announced he would not seek reelection in […]
Song of the Day 11/15: The Four Seasons, “Silence Is Golden”
Bethany Hall-Long is a too young to have been a fan of this tune when it came out in 1964 as the B-side to the No. 1 single “Rag Doll,” which like “Silence Is Golden” was a product of the Four Seasons’ hit songwriting team of Bob Crewe and Bod Gaudio. It didn’t get a […]
