The News Journal Won’t Tell You, but Bipartisan Ben duPont Backs Trump’s Boy Oz
Maybe I’m just lousy at navigating their archive, but I can’t find any evidence that the News Journal has ever reported on the close ties between Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and Delaware entrepreneur Ben duPont, son of the late Gov. Pete. In April, CNBC reported that duPont gave $70,000 to an Oz-for-Senate PAC. […]
Wilmington bank vice president who was hit by stray bullet has died
In a country as full of guns as this one, blood-soaked and callous as we’ve become – we tell ourselves lies in order to get by day by day and keep reality at bay. “That’s the bad part of town.” “What were they doing out at 3am?” These and other similar lies reveal the depth […]
A-hole on A-hole Violence
Without mentioning the fucker by name, McConnell said that bad Senate candidates (hand picked by Trump) would probably lose because it is hard for terrible trump-y assholes to win statewide. Trump shot back: “Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United […]
Bad News for Fox News & CNN – Can They Survive Cable “Cord Cutters” & Toxic Programing?
As Alby said in a prior thread…cut the cable and stop supporting these right wing propaganda outlets.
Fox News ad revenue is down because there are only so many “My Pillows” willing to associate with the toxic brand. Less ad revenue and fewer overall cable subscribers might turn out to be a perfect storm.
Multiple sets of analysis from Wall Street researchers show cable television as an industry in decline, with over 1.9 million subscribers cutting the cord in the second fiscal quarter of 2022, and over 5.4 million users leaving top pay-TV providers over the past year.
…Cord cutting is not a new phenomenon, but it is speeding up, and has been for years.
The trend poses a threat to the financial health of institutional media companies, especially Fox Corp., due to the high proportion of revenue that comes from affiliate fees.
Bygones!
The kiddies among us may not remember, but when Ford pardoned Nixon he was praised for it by the sober centrists and moderates who just want everyone to get a long and make-pretend that crimes (when committed by the rich and powerful) are not crimes. (Those sober centrist idiots are still among us and mostly […]
Song of the Day 8/19: Randy Rainbow, “Yesterday”
As he admits in this video, Randy Rainbow is running out of show tunes, so he set this one to the Beatles classic.
Why Corporate Democrats Hate Progressives
It’s very simple: They want all existing power structures left intact, they just want Democrats and their donors, rather than Republicans and their donors, atop the pyramid reaping the rewards. Here’s a giveaway: Their oft-stated idea of equality is a society where anyone can reach the top. They never admit that while some few reach […]
Coons’ Chickenshit Response to Chuck Grassley Fails to Mention Grassley
Coons is getting shit for his mewling obsequiousness in the face of Grassley’s insane rant telling Fox News’ national audience that IRS agents are going to be busting down the doors of small businesses with guns blazing. Notice his twitter response addresses Grassley unhinged bullshit, but Coons is far too chickenshit to mention Grassley […]
Song of the Day 8/18: Patty Griffin, “Be Careful”
From a political standpoint, the end of Roe v. Wade has been a boon for Democrats. From a practical standpoint it’s causing, and will continue to cause, misery, injury and death to women. The saddest part of it is that Republicans, in their ignorance, never realized what their contemptible idea of morality would produce. We’ll […]

Chris Coons Mum on GOP Senator’s Violent, Unhinged IRS Claims
Always quick to praise his GOP friends, Chris Coons has no comment on his buddy, Chuck Grassley’s, claim that IRA strike forces armed with AR’s will soon be knocking down doors of small businesses. IOWA — US Senator Charles Grassley on Thursday warned Iowans and a national TV audience that U.S. government strike forces armed […]
Signs and Sighs
I happened to drive into Delaware on 113 skirting past Selbyville, Frankfort, Dagsboro, Millsboro, Georgetown, Milford. Then Rt 1 through Kent and into my slice of Southern NCC. Here are all the signs I saw from South to North. A Trump billboard just south of Dagsboro. Two Alexandra Reed Baker for Suxco Recorder of Deeds […]
Phrase of the Week: The walls are closing In
My main man, and traitor to his class, FDR, was the first to use of the idiomatic phrase, “the walls are closing in on..” The newspaper clipping below appeared on January 1st, 1944, and quotes President Roosevelt saying “walls are closing in remorselessly on our enemies.” I’m trying not to get too excited, but this […]
