White House COVID Policy: Reach Herd Immunity. This, along with the President’s insatiable ego, explains the mask-free super-spreader events. Don’t believe me?: A senior administration official told reporters in a background briefing call Monday that the proposed strategy — which has been denounced by other infectious-disease experts and has been called “fringe” and “dangerous” by […]

Settlement Reached To Provide More Equity In Delaware School Funding. The agreement relies on legislative approval, which will be more likely with the progressive newcomers. This does not end the lawsuit for a statewide reassessment: A separate track of this lawsuit, involving property reassessment in all three counties, is ongoing. That track saw victory in […]

Trump Has Yet Another Stimulus Proposal. Inoperative in, say, 20 minutes. Of all his botches, his U-turns on a stimulus package are near the top of the list. ‘We Now Affectionately Call Her Judge Dogma’. Amy Coney Barrett sets off all the dogma whistles. Member of a bizarre cult about to be elevated to the […]

Here’s Why D’s Should Pack The Courts. Inspirational Quote: The Republicans have discovered that shamelessness is their superpower and they are unafraid to deploy it to force their ideology on the entire country. Democrats can no longer afford to stand by and let it happen out of an antediluvian adherence to “norms” that only they […]

Trump Begs/Threatens Barr To Indict Obama, Clinton And Biden. Appears to have been his plan all along. Some plan. Why Michigan Is Fertile Ground For Militias. It kinda is two states. Federal Judge Upholds Cali’s Ban On Private Prisons. Yes! Federal Judge Swats Down Ohio Voter Suppression. Ditto in Texas. No wonder Trump wants his […]

Inside The Bizarre Cult That Democrats Have Pledged Not To Talk About. There are only about 1650 members nationwide. One has been nominated for the Supreme Court. But the D’s have unilaterally decided it’s off limits. Barr’s Hit Job Report Won’t Be ‘Ready’ Before Election. Translation: There’s no ‘there’ there. Alaska Now A Senate Battleground. […]

Pence Wouldn’t Shut Up. Couldn’t Acknowledge Fly: Off (the fly) flew, and on Pence droned. He never exhibited any awareness — not the subtlest glance upward, not the slightest flinch or twitch — that his head had been colonized. I first found this strange and then realized it was everything. Pence’s years of obsequiousness to […]

Will The Last Infected Remaining WH Staffer Please Have The Doctor Turn Off The Lights? Stephen Miller, the Joint Chiefs? I’m coming around to the notion that G-d and I share the same sense of humor. Biden At His Best. That Gettysburg Address may have been the best of his career. Never mentioned Trump. What […]

Home Comes The Deranged. Sickly Would-Be Strongman Stages Unmasked And Unhinged Performance. Unmasked and unhinged, maybe…but his tan is back, courtesy of His Tan-ic Majesty’s Request. Trump Blows Chance For Campaign Reset. Wishful thinking from those who knew better. The Invisible Staff Who Trump Willingly Endangers. Permanent career staff, all placed at risk by everyone […]

Trump’s Joy Ride Pisses Off Secret Service. Taking a bullet is one thing. Being exposed to a deadly virus b/c the President wants to wave at his base is quite another: “Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days,” tweeted James P. […]

Trump’s Doing Great. Trump’s In Danger. Thanks for clearing that up. Is This An Indoor Super-spreader Event? They’d better hope that Barrett can’t be reinfected. Trump doesn’t wear a mask–you don’t wear a mask. Lemmings. Nobody In The White House Knows Anything. Because nobody ‘in charge’ tells them anything. President’s ‘body man’ tests positive. Gabe […]

‘Who’s The Victor, Vector?’: Vexed Vector Virtually Vanquished. Make no mistake: Trump was the vector, starting in March when he renounced mask-wearing. Once you spit out the three-eyed fish, the election is over. Which is figuratively what the (arguably) human Super-Spreader has done. My favorite touch?: Biden going to Grand Rapids. I have a couple […]

‘Suddenly, He’s Not Half The Man He Used To Be’. Trump 2020 vs. Trump 2016. BTW, didja know that perhaps the most common side effect of snorting adderall in men is–erectile dysfunction?
