“Trump has yet to find an attack on Harris that will stick.” This is, no joke, how the media is treating his campaign’s All Insults, All The Time strategy, along with dutifully repeating every insult every time. That they consider this part of their mission is good evidence that they are part of the problem. […]

Trump did and said some dumb shit yesterday, I don’t even know what and I don’t much care. He’ll do and say some dumb shit today that they’ll report tomorrow, too, because they just can’t quit saying “You won’t believe what he said now.” Yes, yes I would. He obviously will say anything, and it’s […]

The New York Times’ mollycoddling of Trump has gotten especially egregious lately, and you’re not the only one who noticed. Margaret Sullivan, the Times’ former public editor, calls them out for their recent whopper comparing Kamala Harris’ affordable housing plan to Trump’s, which is no better thought out than “we’ll deport millions of people.” I […]

The most important item(s) you’ll read all day is/are in the comments section of the Lydia York article. Suffice it to say that the State Democratic Party’s embrace of a nominee as consistently corrupt as Bethany Hall-Long is an utter disgrace. And spare me the bullshit about the democratic process that led to her endorsement. […]

Supreme Court Tells Students To Drop Dead. Oh, they’ll get around to considering it eventually, but we all know the result is pre-ordained: The Supreme Court has rejected the Biden administration’s emergency request to intervene in litigation that has blocked the president’s new student loan repayment program, leaving millions of borrowers in limbo. Biden launched […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #2–RD 15
Two in one day? Why? Because early voting has begun, and this story just HAS to be told to as many voters as possible. Besides, I finished it early. Pull up a chair, folks, this is gonna be a long one. Incumbent Val Longhurst, heretofore to be referred to as Our PAL Val, embodies everything […]

Count on Donald Trump to screw the unscrewable pooch. Seeking to dispel the accurate charge that he has contempt for the U.S military and those who join it, Trump’s team took him to Arlington National Cemetery for a photo op proving that he does too like the troops, even if he calls them “suckers.” Just […]

The wind at the Democratic Party’s back might get a little stronger as the election approaches. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled he will cut interest rates in response to falling inflation stats and soft job-creation numbers. If elections are still about the economy – highly doubtful when society is menaced by the Coalition of […]

Admit it, you had no idea the Kamala Harris candidacy would be this popular. Her campaign announced it has raised $540 million since Joe Biden bowed out, which works out to about $100 million a week. Now you know why Trump is jealous. Trump is running scared, all right. Now he’s making noises about backing […]

Of Runzas And Hot Pockets. Pretty sure you can put that single Nebraska electoral vote in the D win column…: A Runza, for the uninitiated, is a German-style meat and cabbage sandwich sold by a Nebraska-based hamburger chain of the same name. Walz’s caravan stopped at a Runza restaurant, at 77th and L Streets on […]

Mentally-Unfit Candidates Unite Under The Trump Banner. What could possibly go wrong, especially since Kennedy hadn’t made a campaign appearance since early July? Doesn’t CNN Vet Its ‘Undecided’ Voters? Nope. Here’s the story of the one allegedly undecided voter on their panel who, following Harris’ speech, said he was now for Trump: A man introduced […]
