There is a new class traitor in town. Elizabeth Warren has proposed a $1.25 trillion plan to forgive student debts and make all public college and university undergraduate education free,…

If congressional Democrats don't do anything in the face of the mountains of evidence of criminal activities documented in the Mueller Report, they are flatly giving up on the Republic. If they push for an impeachment of President Trump in the House that will fail in the Senate, many fear an electoral "backlash" similar to the vote against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Lisa Blunt Rochester would like you to know that she aware of the fact that Trump is a corrupt, disease-ridden dog of a President*, but she wants to hear directly from Mueller before calling for impeachment outright.

My TV news blackout broke down temporarily last night. As usual, in ten minutes of viewing I was exposed to less news than punditry. In this case the pundits were "reporting" that the President's defenders were taking two tracks. 1) The President didn't really commit crimes because his underlings ignored his illegal orders. And, 2) The President didn't really commit crimes because he didn't have "criminal intent" to commit crimes. (Accidental crimes and crimes committed due to blundering ignorance don't count I guess.) Pretty weak stuff.

News Journal opinion editor Matt Albright joins RE Vanella in the bunker to talk about ad hominem attacks and the Delaware Way. Also, a reading of "A Clinton-era centrist Democrat explains why it’s time to give democratic socialists a chance” from Vox.

I need to ask you guys a favor. If you are served up a crazy right-wing ad please click on the little blue "X" in the upper right corner of…

Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" is a bullshit song. Woodie Guthrie answered the bullshit in real time by writing "This Land is Your Land" in response. So I'm never sad…

I'm seriously asking. My news blackout has been airtight. I assume the Mueller report has catalogued Trump's many crimes. A few key GOP Senators peeled away from the cult of Trump giving sanity a majority in both houses. The Republic was rescued in a nick of time. That was a crazy three years. I'm glad that it is over.

As the 2020 presidential election draws closer, it’s more important than ever for Democrats to put aside their differences to unite around my feckless centrist candidate. We must remember that…

Venting is not only permitted, it's encouraged. Thankfully, I will be at work.  C'mon everybody, let it all out.

Candidates for the Democratic nomination out fundraised Trump 2 to 1, banking over $70 million in funding from small donors in Q1, to Trump's measly $30 million. In addition to lagging in fundraising, Trump’s approval rating, remains underwater. That unpopularity is especially acute in electoral college swing states. The bottom line is that Trump is very beatable. Provided Democrats don't indulge in electoral cannibalism , whichever Democrats gets to face him will beat him easily.

Someone brought up the German health care system. That never happens. Here in the good ol' US of A we are supposed to make pretend that no industrialized countries figured out health care. Or, more precisely, we are supposed to make pretend that no other countries exist unless them are in need of corrective bombings.

State Rep. Richard Collins has been a festering boil on Sussex County for a long time. Now he's getting nationwide attention. Raw Story picked up audio of him spewing his…
