Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 27, 2023
Today’s Headlines: *Third Time The Charm For Seaford’s LLC’s? I doubt it, but it’s back on today’s House Agenda. There must be a story behind the story. I’d love to hear it. *Budget & Bond Bills Headed For Passage. Both on today’s Senate Agenda. Well, not precisely. The Bond Bill has been laid on the […]
500,000 Rounds Of Ammo Walk Out Of Cebela’s-But Not On Their Own
No, not nationwide. From one store in Delaware. Which is what happens when a store has the ammo right out on the sales floor. Cabela’s is under investigation for lax shoplifting prevention after half a million rounds of ammunition was stolen from its Christiana Mall store, the Delaware Department of Justice said in a statement […]
Remember That ‘Self-Sustaining’ Port Of Wilmington?
Looks like Jeffrey Bullock and the self-anointed ‘grown-ups’ are gonna stick us with a, wait for it, $100 million price tag. Oh, and try to hide it from us. From the News-Journal: Delaware will get less money from the Port of Wilmington following its failed deal that privatized the port and taxpayers could be on […]
Sarah McBride Announces For Congress!
It’s official: State Sen. Sarah McBride, the country’s highest-ranking transgender elected official, announced her candidacy Monday to become Delaware’s next sole congresswoman. McBride, if elected, would become the first trans person elected to federal office, catapulting the already nationally known politician to an even bigger stage. She would also be the youngest elected official Delaware […]

The headlines: House To Consider Budget, LEOBOR, and Plastic Disposables Today. We Have Our Pot Czar: “I know there are people who, when they saw someone who had a very strong law enforcement background was nominated for this position, kind of made certain thoughts and jumped to certain conclusions.

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 20, 2023
Can there really be only six more session days with Pistol Pete as Slavemaster? We may, or may not, find out in six more session days. He and Our PAL Val have turned the House into something not unlike Hungary. For the record, I doubt that he’ll follow through on his pledge to the Majority […]
A Special Mini-Edition Of Delaware Political Weekly: June 17, 2023
My pledge to you: When Delaware political news breaks, I’ll be here to report about it. Granted, usually days, weeks, or perhaps months after it happens, but I will still report it. We’ve got two interesting stories today. 1. Good government advocate Dr. Monica Katherine Beard files to run against Rethug Michael Smith in RD […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, June 15, 2023
In a rare crossover with the Open Thread, we can report that the Green Amendment cleared the House Administration Committee yesterday, and was immediately opposed by Delaware’s Secretary Of Agriculture Michael Scuse. When a Cabinet official opposes a bill, especially one from Carney’s select Band Of Team Players, it is not much of a reach […]

Inscrutable Vote Department: We know that Delaware’s legislative Rethugs are a bizarre combination of climate change denialists and vocal opponents of any governmental interference into what they perceive to be their unfettered rights. So, you would expect the House R’s to unanimously vote against an otherwise innocuous bill that would ‘require new commercial buildings with […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 13, 2023
Keep an eye out for: (a) some possible amendments to the cop-friendly LEOBOR bill. (b) some blow-back on Carney’s Pot Czar choice. In fact, don’t just keep an eye out on some blow-back, become the blow-back. Only in Carney’s blinkered worldview is an ex-top cop the perfect choice to set up what will be a […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, June 8, 2023
The fraudulent Police ‘Reform’ bills made it out of committee yesterday. But not before at least a couple of people behind the fraud revealed themselves. From the News-Journal story: “You had three years to put in what you needed to put in and participate,” said Rep. Franklin Cooke, chair of the Public Safety and Homeland […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., June 7, 2023
Guess we still have to take the bad with the good. The good? HB 99 (Heffernan) passed the House, so addressing the climate change crisis in Delaware moves forward. The ‘Chamber’ amendment was not so bad, and the ‘bad’ amendment, sponsored by Rep. Collins, was defeated. Props to Rep. Heffernan, this is an important bill. […]
