DL Open Thread: Saturday, October 14, 2023
Weisselberg Lied, Under Oath, About Trump’s Penthouse. Too bad there’s incontrovertible proof–from Weisselberg: Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, lied in sworn testimony on Tuesday when questioned about Donald Trump’s penthouse atop Trump Tower. Weisselberg was on the stand as part of a $250 million lawsuit that the New York […]

Tips of the sombrero to eagle-eyed readers Duarte and BLT who spotted it: https://thenewsarcade.substack.com/p/leading-candidate-for-delaware-governor?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Here’s an excerpt from Karl’s story: In 2018, Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s husband went into business with her office’s chief deputy, forming an LLC that purchased nine row homes in a small Wilmington suburb that had been targeted as an ideal […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #2-RD 29
The year was 2018. Incumbent State Rep. Trey Paradee ran for the 17th State Senate seat and won. The D primary to succeed Trey in his Kent Counry 29th RD was won by–wait–there was no D primary for the 29th RD. Making the successor-designee one Bill Bush, who was pushed by the worst of the […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023
Whether you’re rooting for Israel or Hamas, the media has plenty of atrocity stories to stoke your righteous ire. I’m not linking to any of them because I don’t think war porn serves any useful purpose. For an overview of what the fighting is about, refer to this editorial cartoon. Saddest part of the Israel-Hamas […]
Yo, Bethany: It’s Time
I’m pretty sure your supporters and/or those who would like to find an alternative if your ‘issues’ are fatal to your campaign are impatient for answers. I don’t know what happened, but it looks like your problems may both be related to campaign finances, and/or questionable business dealings that you and your husband have had […]
Delaware (Occasional) Political Weekly: Early October, 2023
Don’t know if there’s anything more to be said about L’Affaire Bethany Hall-/Dana Long at this time, other than that Al’s speculation that the remaining insiders are trying to find a way to cover it up rings true to me. Oh, and that the troubles may date at least all the way back to her […]
Two Ethically-Bankrupt Legislators Stand Behind BHL…
…along with pretty much nobody else. We have chronicled in these e-pages how both Our PAL Val and Sen. Nicole ‘No Longer’ Poore each got bullshit no-show jobs shortly after getting elected. Longhurst as ‘Executive Director’ of the Delaware Police Athletic League (hence PAL, for newbies), and Poore as ‘Executive Director’ of the worse-than-useless Jobs […]
Thank You, Jason.
Jason, you are a true friend. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you and without Delaware Liberal. You took me in as a stray immediately after Val Longhurst put an abrupt end to my 20-plus years as a legislative staffer. I can’t tell you how depressed I was at the time. […]
Song of the Day 9/29: Fitz and the Tantrums, “MoneyGrabber”
Bethany Hall-Long’s intended coronation as Delaware’s next governor has hit a major snag. Seems like her rivals’ campaign signs might not be the only thing her sleazeball husband/campaign treasurer has gotten his hands on, as the campaign is undergoing an outside audit. Meanwhile, she has demonstrated why she’s not to be trusted in Woodburn by […]
Trouble In Camp BHL?
Does this story have legs and, if so, what the bleep is going on?: Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, who is running for Delaware governor in 2024, announced Thursday evening that she is conducting an audit of her past campaign finance reports after possible issues have come to light. Hall-Long said in a written statement this […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #3-RD 14
I’m not even sure how contested this race will be. But the prospect of Marty Rendon replacing Former Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf in RD 14 excites me no end. I grant you–some of my affinity stems from the fact that Rendon and I are the same age. We both cut our teeth on, wait for it, […]
State Of Delaware Sues Amazon While State Of Delaware Throws Money At Amazon
To be specific, Delaware AG Kathleen Jennings has joined other state AG’s and the Federal government in suing Amazon while the Carney Administration’s privatized economic development scam agency continues to gift the behemoth with taxpayer dollars ostensibly for ‘jobs’. Jobs with no strings, like worker protections and/or the right to unionize, attached. From the Associated […]
NCC Council & Developers Vs. The Public
The ongoing unholy alliance, with money as the catalyst. Kids, wanna get your project rezoned and approved far from the prying eyes of the public? Here’s how: A proposed New Castle County ordinance would affect what can be built on more than 80 properties, impacting multiple development projects seeking approval.
