The Badger and the Coyote
Yes, it sounds like one of Aesop’s fables, and it does crop up in Native American folklore, but it’s based on observed reality. Though coyotes and badgers are each solitary predators, they will at times team up to hunt together. There’s are even videos of them together. The latest one shows them in a culvert […]

Killing “socialists” now constitutional under new rules
Seems like some people are getting the message from the week’s events: A Billings Republican legislator said Saturday he believes the U.S. Constitution calls for the shooting or jailing of those who identify as socialists. State Rep. Rodney Garcia, from House District 52 on the South Side, first made a statement in the form of […]
Don’t Worry – Sanders Iowa Numbers Are a Media Trap
The bad news is that Sanders will do “WORSE THAT EXPECTED”. The media will push that narrative – hard.
The good news is that unlike Howard Dean, Sanders hasn’t made Iowa an “all in” contest for the nomination. It broke my heart when Dean underwent his media lynching after Iowa. Dean had in unequivocal anti-Iraq war stance that would have dismantled GWB.
Sanders is not putting his head in the noose. He is staying in and when it is Sander’s vs Biden in the home stretch… cover your eyes, Delaware.
Fuck You Coons, you useless fuck
Now is not the time for Coons to talk about what nice people his fellow Republican Senators are. All of his witty banter and collegiality with Republicans at the notorious Alfalfa club has come to nothing.
The other side of the aisle are all corrupt assholes and they have been blowing up The Norms for years. It is well past time for the Coons to go on Morning Joe tell THE AMERICAN PEOPLE just what fucking creeps his Republican buddies are.
Highlands Bunker – E52 – One Year Special
For our 52nd episode, Wilmington Metropolitan Urban League president and former mayoral candidate Eugene Young joins RE Vanella in the bunker to talk about his background, the lessons everyone needs to learn, and the difficulties of Delaware politics.
Show Notes:
Joe VanWinkle is salty because he thinks 1980 rules should apply
Joe played by the rules and did the right thing, stepping aside and letting the lackluster Hillary Clinton be President. When that didn’t work out, it seemed like his “turn” to be President. But fucking people keep fucking asking GODDAM QUESTTIONS ALL THE FUCKING TIME. JESUS PEOPLE!!! Don’t you know it is his turn?
Joe Biden apparently doesn’t care if you vote for him. No, really. On Tuesday in Iowa the former vice-president had the latest in a series of bizarre encounters with potential voters, telling a man who asked him about the issue of building new pipelines and where he stood on the climate crisis to “go vote for someone else”.
The man, the former Iowa state representative Ed Fallon, said that he would support him in the general election against Donald Trump but not in the Iowa primary, which irked Biden, who wrongly assumed he was a Bernie Sanders supporter.

A man in Iowa asks Joe Biden to stop supporting the building of new pipelines. Joe Biden tells him to go vote for someone else and then starts accusing him of voting for Bernie Sanders. Actually, the man says, he’s voting for Tom Steyer. Very awkward.
Excitement wins
In my lifetime, Bill Clinton had it. Hillary didn’t. Obama had it for miles. Al Gore, John Kerry, Walter Mondale didn’t. Bernie has it. Koubuchar and Biden don’t. Pete may not have it, but at least sees the importance of trying to get it.
In spite of the fact that he is deeply, DEEPLY, unpopular, Trump has it.
Excitement unleashes the creativity and energy of supporters, doesn’t dictate schoolmarmish instructions to them.
Excitement attracts voters, it doesn’t chase them.
Excitement wins.
Coons Office Stonewalling Press Inquiries Related to the Notorious Aflalfa Club Parties?
On Saturday, January 25th, Coons spent the afternoon listening to Trump’s lawyers defend him in the Senate. On the evening of Saturday, January 25th, Coon shifted to listening to Trump’s family and friends defend him over cocktails at Jeff Bezos’ house. It is a stone cold fact that during his time as sworn juror in the trial of President Trump Coons partied with Trump’s daughter Ivanka and others very close to the President at the notorious Alfalfa Club.
At best this is poor judgement, and at worst it reveals Coons for the bloated out of touch plutocrat that he is.
In an attempt to see if this was merely very poor judgment which Coons now regrets I called his Press Secretary Sean Coit this morning identifying myself as Jason from Delaware Liberal. Sean Coit didn’t take the call but instructed the perfectly charming telephone answering person to ask me to put my questions in an email.
Here is what I sent:
Coons should step down after being caught with Ivanka Trump & Kelly-Ann Conway
Editors Note: Imagine you were a member of a jury in a high profile corruption case and you spent an evening break partying with the very people connected to the corruption. Do you think you’d recuse yourself from that jury, or do you think you would be thrown off?
Coons should do the right thing and resign amid the scandal following the discovery that he socializes with and allows himself to be lobbied by Republicans very close to President Trump.
The “Democratic” Senator from Delaware, long a supporter of Anti-Gay “prayer breakfast’s” has now been caught on camera engaging in “inappropriate interactions” with inner-circle members of the Trump brain trust at the notorious Alfalfa Club..
Bad enough on its own, but to allow himself, a jury member in the Senate Trial of Donald Trump, to be lobbied by members of the Trump family at at the residence of a Billionaire is beyond comprehension.
Pictures published by the UK’s Daily Mail show Coons engaging in what many are diplomatically calling “activity unbecoming of a Democratic Senator”
Breaking: Coons Caught Red Handed!
While most Democrats are running away from Trump and his coterie of enablers, Coons is running to suck up to Ivaka, Jared, Kelly-Ann.
PUMA 2 – Corporate Dems in Disarray
If Bernie wins the nomination, I’ll be looking forward to hearing Coons say “Party Unity My Ass” on Morning Joe. That could end up being my favorite part.
Song of the Day 1/26: Daniel Deitrich, “Hymn for the 81%”
Most people outside the evangelical community, believers and unbelievers alike, are struck by the hypocrisy of these Bible thumpers who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus the Nazarene while failing spectacularly to follow his example in real life. Some people inside the evangelical community have noticed it, too. Daniel Deitrich, an ex-evangelical young minister […]
