Queen still dead. Observations – Lots of uniforms. Many, many, uniforms. Whereas the USA has the ArmyNavyAirForceMarines(andCoastiesand Park Rangers) the UK as about 200 times more types of armed services including The Queen’s Royal Hussars and the Milton Keynes Bones Boogaloos. Many stories about how the GOP is now really leaning into being a […]
Is Your Delaware State Senator/Rep a MAGA Republican?
Most incumbent Republicans are working hard right now to cover their tracks and scrub their web sites of MAGA policies. That’s why we’ve come up with a simple endorsement type questionnaire for everyone living in a GOP Senate of House district. Simply send this easy, three item questionnaire to your state Senator or Rep and and unless you get back three “YES” responses – your DEGOP state Rep or Senator is a MAGA Republican.
Here we go:
1) Do you think Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly?
[ ] YES
[ ] NO
2) Do you think rioters that broke into and vandalized the US Capitol on January 6th of 2021 are criminals and should be treated as criminals?
[ ] YES
[ ] NO
3) Do you think stealing top secret documents and leaving them exposed to discovery by the agents of governments hostile to the United States is a criminal act that should be treated as such?
[ ] YES
[ ] NO
Three simple questions. Unless you get three simple, unqualified YES responses in return, your DEGOP Senator of Rep is a MAGA republican.
I’ll be sending this to my Rep, Kevin Hensley and reporting his responses here.

Wilmington is going to get an economic boost next month when media floods the city for the Elon Musk-Twitter showdown in Chancery Court. Background coverage has already begun, such as this profile of Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick. The bus-the-immigrants stunt has succeeded in bringing national attention to a problem that affects mainly border cities in border […]
Ted Cruz Announces on Twitter that Rehoboth Beach Will be the Next Venue for PR Stunt
Ted Cruz’s father was an immigrant who came the US on a student visa and just stayed.

Turns out that business of moving migrants from border states to northern cities might not be as cute as Trump and his orc-governors thought. Turns out it might be illegal. Turns out the stunt isn’t even original. The racist White Citizens Council first pulled the stunt in 1962 as a “Reverse Freedom Ride.” The whole […]
Would the end of the republic just hurry up and get here FFS?
I’ve heard talking heads on TV say that the DoJ doesn’t want to appeal the bullshit rulings they are getting from the Coons/Trump judge because it could end in the Supreme Court and the extremists court could just simply rule that Trump is still really President.
Can’t we just stop fucking around and get to that point? Let them declare him President and let’s take it from there. Being afraid of what Republicans will do or say is a bullshit strategy. Being afraid of Trump is what got us here.

Our Criminal Ex-President is spewing threats about violence again if he’s arrested. The irony is that we know Trump will be hiding in the basement if any violence actually occurs. The unqualified judge he shopped for is still paving the way for his lawlessness to continue. Voting by mail was struck down by Chancery Court, […]

I just recorded a primary day wrap up Highlands Bunker Episode. My favorite part was when REV would take a long time to compose a question and Jordyn Pusey would answer with one word.
My Apology to Kyra Hoffner
I’m not in the 14th since redistricting, but Hoffner is doing what I try to tell all democrats to do – be prepared to run twice or even three times. She came in 2nd in a three way primary which was won easily by the aged incumbent, Bruce Ennis. With the retirement of Ennis, Hoffner […]

Media scolds yesterday chided Joe Biden for flying Air Force One to Delaware to — sit down now — vote in Tuesday’s primaries. “But, but, but he could have voted absentee!” Well, yes, but remember, he’s accustomed to Delaware election rules, and until Covid Delaware had the tightest restrictions in the country on who could […]
Overthinking The Results
Random musings as I prepare to head out to Portland for a (very) few days of R & R: The campaigns for Becca Cotto and Shane Darby were the two best this cycle. Both candidates are awesome, and both candidates will be back. Over 2700 voters came out for the Cotto-Heffernan race. That’s in-SANE. Becca […]

The whole “leave it up to the states” was pure bullshit from the get go. SEN. GRAHAM: “I look forward to the debate. I look forward to the vote. If we take back the house and the Senate I can assure you, we’ll have a vote on our bill. If the Democrats are in charge, […]
Voters Smack Down Schwartzkopf/McGuiness
Lydia York defeated the convicted state auditor by a roughly 2 to 1 margin. In addition to being a referendum on not having convicted criminals hold public office, this vote is widely seen as a repudiation of Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf who was a tenacious supporter of the convicted auditor.
Many believe that Schwartzkopf will be forced out of the leadership by his party caucus in a few weeks time.
