Carper Is Running. In case you’ve forgotten, here are some reasons why we need a progressive challenger: https://delawareliberal.net//2016/11/29/how-tom-carpers-votes-and-positions-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-to-screw-people-volume-1/ https://delawareliberal.net//2016/11/30/how-tom-carpers-votes-and-positions-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-to-screw-people-volume-2/ https://delawareliberal.net//2016/12/06/how-tom-carpers-positions-and-votes-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-screw-people-volume-3/ https://delawareliberal.net//2016/12/13/how-tom-carpers-positions-and-votes-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-screw-people-volume-4/ This defeatism that only Father Time can stop Carper is BS. Eugene Young, for one, can stop Carper. Putin To Kick Out 755 American Diplomats. Well, maybe they aren’t all diplomats. Only VP Pence acts ‘presidential’ […]

Student Scores Prove It: Our Education Policy Is Not Working. That includes de-facto resegregation. NCC Police Union Flexes Muscle. Anything that makes the police knucklebreakers unhappy, I’m for it. Yes, Our Voting Machines Are Totally Vulnerable. Took hackers mere minutes to dismantle security protections at DEFCON in Vegas. Anyone gonna do anything about it? Huey […]

Reince Lanced. Enter the General. Hard to restore order when the only guy who outranks you is insane. But Kelly is competent, which Reince was not. He’s also as obsessively anti-immigrant as King Cheeto. Hanifa Shabazz and Theo Gregory: Kindred Crooks? Someone needs to investigate this unholy relationship and the entire Wilmington City Council slush […]

Skinny Repeal Goes Down! McCain (finally) does the right thing. Didn’t see that coming. And, yes, Trump went nuts on teh Twitter. Russia Ratchets Up Diplomatic Pressure On Sanctions. This bromance is sure going well. Will Trump veto the sanctions bill? Steve Bannon’s Off-The-Books Press Office. I guess ‘volunteers’ aren’t just for Tony DeLuca any […]

Blevins Is Out As Director of Office of Animal Welfare. Glad to see that cronyism is being put under a microscope. Keep it coming. However, Greg Lavelle gets it wrong as usual: “This hire was a case of the fox watching the henhouse from the start.” he said. No, Monsignor, people heading agencies they seek […]

Kushner No Babe In The Woods On Russia. His carefully-parsed statement read that he doesn’t ‘rely’ on Russian money, but he never said that he hasn’t used Russian money to make transactions. He, in fact, has. Bigly. Will McCain Pull A ‘Reverse Ted Kennedy’? Trundle his diseased body back to DC to help throw tens […]
Mo’ Better Democrats: Melanie George Smith, RD 5
OK, I’m cheating here a little. Melanie Smith and her husband have purchased a house outside of her RD. It is an open secret that she plans to leave the General Assembly at the end of her term. She sought a judgeship, but was rebuffed by the Nominating Committee. However, even had she chosen to […]

Brandywine Country Club Development Plan Ruled ‘Unacceptable’. By NCC Land Use. It’s back in Louie Capano’s court now. I’m pleasantly surprised. Capano tried (I know this is redundant when it comes to Capano) a sleazy trick where he labeled apartments under names other than apartments. Land Use didn’t fall for it. Kushner’s Story. How does […]

Delaware Direct Train To Airport Possible? Yes, but there’s that little matter of money. Man, do we need a massive infrastructure investment now. Congress To Strengthen Russian Sanctions. Wonder if Putin counted on this. Senator Kid Rock? For those who dismiss the idea, I’ve got two words for you: President Trump. US Investigators Looking To […]

Trumpcare To Be Brought Down By–Parliamentary Procedure? Could well be. Financial Assets That Kushner ‘Forgot’ To Disclose. They’re all crooks. Sans pardons, they’re all going down. Freedon and Manafort Will Not Testify Next Week As Planned. But Grassley and the disgraceful Dianne Feinstein will go after compiler of Trump dossier. Someone needs to take out […]

Trump Considering Pardoning Family and Himself. Anyone surprised? They’re Also Looking To Undermine Mueller’s Investigation. Criminals looking to kill criminal investigation. Rethug response? Crickets. Entire party is a criminal enterprise, or at least acting like one. Carney Vetoes Controversial Charter School Radius Bill. Seems like for good reasons. What do our education mavens think? City […]

Unhinged Trump Throws AG Sessions Under The Bus. If only he’d known that Sessions wouldn’t be his criminal co-conspirator, he never would have hired him. Entire interview is utterly insane. ‘Russia’s Congressman’ Loses Top Aide Due To Russian Connections. I never envisioned a day when treason was such an everyday possibility. Chris Coons Take Note: […]
Chris Coons Wants To Make It A Crime To Boycott Israel
This demands a thread of its own. To a large degree, Sen. Chris Coons has always been bought and paid for by AIPAC, the so-called pro-Israeli lobby. ‘So-called’ b/c they promote the most egregious excesses of Benyamin Netanyahu, the Chris Christie of Israel. Not the Israel that others, including many Jews, envision. However, it never […]
