Deb Heffernan’s Updated Financial Campaign Report Tells You Everything You Need To Know
This is the update that, had it been up to Deb, and hadn’t been demanded by Nancy Willing, would have remained hidden from the public until 8 days out. Let’s just see which miscreants ponied up at that fundraiser: Brian DiSabatino: $300 Building & Construction Trades: $600 Delaware Restaurant Association (those folks who really fought […]
Return The Dark Money, Larry!
Rethuglican Dark Money at that. Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell, who is in a neck-and-neck primary battle with DeShanna Neal, just received an influx of dark money from LLC’s that, by definition, can hide behind their corporate status. In this case, the money came from a single ‘address’, 100 Rockland Falls Road, DE 19732. Here are […]
Deb Heffernan Touts Polluters’ Endorsements To Claim She Is An…Environmentalist?
Not just endorsements, but a major award from the polluters. Very reminiscent of Carney getting that award from the Chamber and carrying their water for eight years. But, I digress. Let’s first hear from Deb in her own words: “I’m truly honored by the Chemical Industry Council Of Delaware for naming me their first Champion Of […]
The News Journal Won’t Tell You, but Bipartisan Ben duPont Backs Trump’s Boy Oz
Maybe I’m just lousy at navigating their archive, but I can’t find any evidence that the News Journal has ever reported on the close ties between Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and Delaware entrepreneur Ben duPont, son of the late Gov. Pete. In April, CNBC reported that duPont gave $70,000 to an Oz-for-Senate PAC. […]
Why Corporate Democrats Hate Progressives
It’s very simple: They want all existing power structures left intact, they just want Democrats and their donors, rather than Republicans and their donors, atop the pyramid reaping the rewards. Here’s a giveaway: Their oft-stated idea of equality is a society where anyone can reach the top. They never admit that while some few reach […]
A Casual Meander Thru The 30-Day Campaign Finance Reports
Not all of the reports have been processed (or delivered) yet. But there’s more than enough for all you political junkies out there. Let’s meander, shall we? 1. Neither KMG’s nor Lydia York’s reports have been put up on the Elections site yet. 2. 14th SD Reports: This is the five-way primary to succeed Bruce […]
A Tale Of Two Campaigns: Becca Cotto’s And Deb Heffernan’s
This is a tale of two campaigns. It is a tale of a grassroots campaign vs. the worst the Delaware way has to offer. Today’s the perfect day to tell this tale because it illustrates the stark differences between the two campaigns. The race is for the 6th Representative District Democratic nomination between incumbent Deb […]
Delaware Liberal’s Endorsements For The Primary Elections
We proudly endorse this group of Democratic candidates. In addition to being well-qualified, these candidates have exhibited empathy, a trait sorely lacking, especially among those in House leadership. Our interactions with them have convinced us that they are truly good people who are running for the right reasons. We strongly encourage you to support them […]
How Wilmington And State Government Have Traditionally Targeted Black Communities
By Mark Brunswick The Southbridge news event was held at Peter Spencer Plaza, across from City Hall yesterday. As I sat waiting for something to happen, I thought about how development has affected the city during my lifetime. The Eastside of Wilmington used to be “east of Market St”, not 10th and Pine. The Poplar […]
Carper and Coons, Craven to the Core
Ever since SCOTUS pulled its gangland-style execution of Roe, Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo has been stumping for Democrats to make the issue the centerpiece of the midterm elections. Obviously this makes a great deal of sense, and so just as obviously the people who run the Democratic Party will have to be […]
The ‘Plastic’ Straw That Broke The Kabal’s Back?
AKA ‘The Starboard And The Styrofoam’. This is a story about how Delaware’s worst miscreants, both legislative and others, conspired to kill a bill that would have taken a whole bunch of plastic and styrofoam out of the waste stream. In fact, this bill was so popular that I simply assumed that the bill had […]
Nnamdi Doubles Down On His Own Demise
I don’t think he has a political death wish. Just think he’s oblivious to the impact that his words have. Hey, at least he’s telling his own vision of the truth even if it leads to his defeat at the hands of Shane Darby. From Amanda Fries’ generally excellent (with one notable exception) article on […]
Wilmington’s Black Community And The Delaware Way: Conclusion
Editor’s Note: Written By Mark Brunswick: This is my last post on Alice Dunbar-Nelson’s 1924 essay, ‘Delaware: A Jewel of Inconsistencies.’ There is an interesting nugget in the essay, “The Delaware Negro, by the way, has the reputation of being a, “bad actor” when he gets started. Whether this has anything to do with the […]
