Filed in Delaware, Featured by on September 17, 2024 52 Comments

Here are the quick takeaways. The audit covered the years 2019-2022.  The University Of Delaware was singularly uncooperative.  Yes, Bethany Hall-Long collected ‘coincident pay’ to which she was not entitled.  We don’t know how much due to UD’s willing non-compliance.  We do know, however, that then-State Senator Ernie Lopez reduced his pay at the time […]

Things I Want To See: Post-Primary Edition

In no particular order.  Feel free to add your own: Someone needs to immediately stop BHL from disbursing any more money from her opioid slush fund.  Especially to herself. I want to see Matt Meyer make government transparency and openness a key issue in his campaign and, one hopes, his administration.  The voters have eliminated […]

Been waiting for this day since 2008.  The week between Christmas and New Years.  The day you stormed into my office, tore down my posters from the wall, told me I was fired and had twenty minutes to vacate the premises, and thrust a letter in front of me saying I had resigned and told […]

A Pre-Post-Mortem

To me, this is the lede that must not be buried: The Delaware Democratic Party, DSEA, and several other groups of whom you might expect better,  endorsed Bethany Hall-Long for Governor even though they knew about her violation of campaign finance laws and other various and sundry unethical activities. They knew, at least in part, […]

Bethany Hall-Long Copies Trump, Slings Mud in Desperation

Today marks the fourth day in a row I’ve received a mailer from Ms. Creant and the sleazy unions backing her that compares Matt Meyer to Donald Trump. You’d think they were running against a Republican, but no, all they have is that he once contributed to some Republicans – while you contributed to the […]

BREAKING NEWS:  Branden Fletcher Dominguez is out of primary?? Here’s what just arrived in my e-mail: On Friday, August 30th, the Department of Elections reached out to my campaign requesting documentation by Tuesday of this week that I unfortunately was not in a position to provide.

Wasn’t gonna do this.  But, I can’t help myself. US Representative:  Sarah McBride (D) and Donyale Hall (R).  Assuming, of course, that anybody turns out to vote in the Republican Primary. Governor:  Matt Meyer (D) wins, doesn’t quite get to 50%.  Let’s say 46%, BHL 32%, O’Mara 22%.  Can’t wait for the Delaware Way implosion […]

Let’s not bury the lede:  In recent Delaware history, meaning as far back as I can remember, there has NEVER been a candidate with such a lengthy litany of unethical and illegal behavior like Bethany Hall-Long.  From the beginning of her political career up to the present, her actions and those of her husband create […]

Two in one day?  Why?  Because early voting has begun, and this story just HAS to be told to as many voters as possible.  Besides, I finished it early. Pull up a chair, folks, this is gonna be a long one. Incumbent Val Longhurst, heretofore to be referred to as Our PAL Val, embodies everything […]

AG Jennings Goes There!

It’s where anybody who is paying attention should have already gone. Bethany Hall-Long has engaged in so much illegal and unethical activity that any reasonable person should realize that she absolutely should not be our next Governor. This unethical activity pretty much started when she first ran for office and (a) her husband stole her […]

Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #3–RD 14

Yesterday, I wrote this: If you’ve been following the ‘most intriguing’ races series, you will note an overriding theme to most of the races–there’s a Delaware Way candidate and there’s someone challenging the Delaware Way. The Delaware Way in Dover reflects the insider casual corruption of Pete Schwartzkopf, Our PAL Val Longhurst, and their enablers. […]

You all know Dr. Frank Burns.  He almost defeated Mike Ramone in 2022 and likely hastened Ramone’s decision to abandon his home turf for Sussex County.  And a race for Governor.  Burns is a true progressive, twice endorsed by WFP, who has helped to train other progressive candidates for office.  He gives back. His campaign […]
