NRA Engaging In Circular Firing Squad
I don’t want anyone taking away their weapons as long as they’re training them on each other: Oliver L. North announced on Saturday that he would not serve a second term as the National Rifle Association’s president, deciding to step down as the organization grappled with a bitter dispute over its future and its worst […]
Joe Biden’s Campaign To Peak Next Week
Why? Because he is announcing next week. At least, as of today. I may be overstating the case. But if so, only by a week or two. The initial flawed strategy was for him to delay his entry and remain above the fray. Apparently nobody in the campaign anticipated his hands-on proclivities and disastrous previous […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., April 18, 2019
Wednesday was a Tale Of Two Bills: SS1/SB 37(Brown) expands the ability to have one’s criminal history expunged. It’s a great piece of criminal justice reform legislation, and it passed unanimously. HB 63(Lynn), which had narrowly passed the House a couple of weeks back, passed the Senate 13-8, but only after a significant amendment was […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 17, 2019
“Hey, kids, what time is it?” The answer might always be ‘Daylight Savings Time’ if SB 73(McBride) becomes law. But not necessarily. Because as the bill states: This Act achieves this (year-round DST) by doing the following: (1) Requiring, in Section 4 of this Act, that the Governor request that the United States Secretary of […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., April 16, 2019
It’s a new week. I’m feeling charitable. How about–a shout-out? Not just a shout out, but a shout-out to President Pro-Tempore Dave McBride. I just love the fact that he posts the scheduled agendas for the entire week well in advance of Tuesday’s session. Sometimes, the bills don’t get worked b/c perhaps they don’t make […]
Wishing Well To Those Impacted By Last Night’s Storms
Looks like it was a horrible late night/early morning for those in western Sussex County. From the Delmarva firefighters blog: Crews from Laurel Fire Dept., Blades Volunteer Fire Company, Seaford Volunteer Fire Department, Inc., Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company, Delmar Fire Department, Gumboro Volunteer Fire Company, Georgetown Fire Company and Sussex […]
Joe’s Working Class Appeal
CNN dug through the archives and found documents that explain Joe Biden’s unique ability to woo Trump voters — a series of never-before-published letters from Biden to some of the Senate’s most ardent segregationists, seeking support for a bill that would have limited court-ordered busing. Mississippi Democratic Sen. James Eastland believed that desegregation would “mongrelize” […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., April 11, 2019
The gun bills have been introduced. Supporters and opponents have mobilized. Just remember: Pretty much every mouthbreather who opposes these bills has nothing better to do than to drag their butts to Dover. About 200 of ’em. Over and over again. In poll after poll, support for reform measures is overwhelming. Here’s Matt Bittle’s […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 10, 2019
Finally! Some meat on dem bones. Randall Chase reports that the D’s are gonna go all-in on some serious gun control legislation: In addition to resurrecting proposed bans on certain firearms and ammunition magazines, Democrats also are proposing a new bill requiring anyone who wants to buy a gun in Delaware to obtain permission in […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., April 9, 2019
Why did the General Assembly take last week off? According to one former staffer, the reason is b/c the last time the Honorables spent five consecutive weeks in session, they all wanted to kill each other. They took the week off b/c presumably absence makes the heart less hostile. I’m speaking, of course, about those […]
Dover Downs Demonstrates Again That Delaware Lawmakers Are Chumps
Remember how Delaware legislators spent ungodly amounts of time and energy wringing their hands over possible job losses at Dover Downs if we didn’t stop our cruel taxation of their vice-based money machine? Remember how Jason and I kept pointing out that DD “lost money” mainly because it insisted on over-compensating management and running its […]
This Time Biden’s Hands, Not His Mouth, Will Be His Undoing
Joe Biden’s coterie of allies and advisors angling for campaign jobs moved their defense of his hands-on approach toward women into high gear in the past 48 hours, swearing on their rosary beads that Joe has never been anything but a champion of women who has never done a single creepy thing in his life. […]
Judge Clears Cabela’s in Straw Buyer Lawsuit
A Delaware judge dismissed a lawsuit against Cabela’s, which sold a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson pistol that was later used in a murder. The woman who bought it, Brilena Hardwick, promptly gave the weapon to her boyfriend, a felon prohibited from having one — in fact, the lawsuit alleged that she was communicating with him […]
