1. Dem Kingmakers Unite Behind Marcus Henry To Succeed Matt Meyer. Why did all of these ‘influencers’ flock to Henry’s side for his announcement? Here are my thoughts. First, as we all know, Matt Meyer is running for Governor in 2024, which is when his term as NCC Executive expires. Still, like John Carney, Henry […]

1. Rethugs Find Themselves An Auditor Candidate–And, Yes, She’s Out There. No, she hasn’t filed for the ballot yet. But she filed her campaign committee this week. Her name is Janice Lorrah, and if her name is familiar, it should be. She filed suit to end Carney’s school mask mandate. Not, you know, because she’s […]
These Ten Incumbents Need Challengers ASAP!
This list does not include any incumbents who already have credible challengers. It also does not include either Speaker Pete or Our PAL Val. I just think that, with their war chests, it makes more sense to remove them from leadership by electing more progressives to the General Assembly. We already have some good challengers, […]
Gov. Carney Owes Delawareans An Answer To This Question:
If a marijuana legalization bill reaches your desk, will you: A. Sign it? B. Let it become law without your signature? Or: C. Veto it? I ask this question because your stock answer, “I’m looking forward to hearing the debate on the floor”, doesn’t apply. As if it ever did. You’ve by now heard countless legislative debates […]

Trump Seeks To Impose His Will With Dubious Endorsements. Dr. Oz? J. D. Vance? I dunno: Trump’s decision, against the advice of some of his advisers, plunged the former president deep into a messy primary — sparking an internecine fight among some of his own advisers along with considerable backlash from many other Republicans. “I’m […]

1. DeShanna Neal Files To Primary Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell In RD 13. Make no mistake-this immediately becomes one of the highest-priority contests for Delaware progressives this election cycle. Who She Is, and Why She’s Running. Right on time, you can listen to DeShanna’s interview with the Rev in the Highlands Bunker. You can then […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 14, 2022
Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Both HB’s 371 and 372 were released from House committees, meaning marijuana legalization is not dead yet. I was pleased and somewhat surprised that HS1/HB293 was released, but now I know why: The bill doesn’t do what I thought it did. The General Assembly would indeed to continue to exempt […]
The Rebecca Walker Story
It’s dawned on me that we’ve added quite a few new viewers in the past few years. Readers who are not familiar with some of the corruption that has been part of the Delaware Way forever. As you can see from this story from WDEL, (or more accurately from Randall Chase of the Associated Press, […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 13, 2022
Uneventful day yesterday. Stephanie Bolden was back, but the Ft. DuPont Cash Cow bill wasn’t run. There’s always Thursday. Only real item of note was that HB 259 (Lambert) was tabled in the Senate. Likely either a technical glitch or a request for more information. Everything else passed on both agendas with no controversy. Take […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 12, 2022
Anyone who thinks that the Ft. DuPont Cash Cow Bill is dead just because it wasn’t worked on Thursday, guess again. Word on the street is that Our PAL Val was perhaps only a vote short. Her equally corrupt legislative colleague Stephanie Bolden was not present (BTW, Bolden’s term is starting to look like Hazel […]

1. This Is Not An Endorsement. However–I came across the name of a D candidate who had just filed for the 14th Senate District seat currently held by the retiring Sen. Bruce Ennis. Based on the candidate’s background, I asked my wife about this candidate w/o mentioning his name. You see, my wife’s a pharmacist, […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 7, 2022
I know that, by now, you must be sick of reading my screeds about the blatantly corrupt Ft. DuPont project. A corrupt project whose fate will likely be sealed forever with the passage of HB 355 (Longhurst), which, among other things, gets rid of direct resident representation on the Board, and hands the corporation two […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
I doubted that anybody would vote against the Ft. DuPont/Delaware City ‘Charter Change’ in the House. I was correct. Perhaps this is the time to call out ‘Mimi’ Minor-Brown. Representative, the official reorganization of the Delaware Democratic committees should be completed by May. At that point, you, not Valerie Longhurst, will represent the residents of […]
