Trump Goes After FBI. Trying to attack the most culturally-conservative, white Christian, Fed agency is kinda ironic: Historically, though, the F.B.I. has been arguably the most culturally conservative and traditionally white Christian institution in the entire U.S. government. It’s an institution so culturally conservative, even by the standards of law enforcement, that Democratic presidents have […]

Why Does Mayor Mike Hate Wilmington’s Citizens? I mean, some of its citizens, the ones who don’t live in the Highands. We’re taking about selective towing, aka ‘takings’. The legal issue of ‘can they do it’ is one thing, the question of ‘why would they do it’ is another. We all know the answer, don’t […]
A Casual Meander Thru The 30-Day Campaign Finance Reports

Heat ‘Blob’ To Dominate The Northern Pacific? Which raises at least a couple of questions: (1) When is an anomaly no longer an anomaly?: Of great interest currently is a rapid heat up of sea surface temperatures off the California coast, and across almost the entire North Pacific. The re-emergence of a warm water “blob” […]

.Southern Baptist Convention Covered Up Sex Abuse, Being Investigated By DOJ: The investigation is related to a recent bombshell third-party report commissioned by the SBC, a spokesman said late Friday.

Trump Went–Nuclear? Did he take classified information pertaining to nuclear weapons, either ours or from foreign countries from the White House? Could be why the search warrant was granted: Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, according […]

Trump Schadenfreude: He could be prosecuted under a statute that he made law–in order to go after Hillary Clinton: If Trump is found to have violated federal law in removing and retaining classified documents without authorization, he could be convicted of a felony punishable by five years in prison. And that conviction would be a […]
A Tale Of Two Campaigns: Becca Cotto’s And Deb Heffernan’s

Today’s the perfect day to tell this tale because it illustrates the stark differences between the two campaigns. The race is for the 6th Representative District Democratic nomination between incumbent Deb […]

How Wilmington And State Government Have Traditionally Targeted Black Communities
By Mark Brunswick The Southbridge news event was held at Peter Spencer Plaza, across from City Hall yesterday. As I sat waiting for something to happen, I thought about how development has affected the city during my lifetime. The Eastside of Wilmington used to be “east of Market St”, not 10th and Pine. The Poplar […]
The ‘Plastic’ Straw That Broke The Kabal’s Back?
AKA ‘The Starboard And The Styrofoam’. This is a story about how Delaware’s worst miscreants, both legislative and others, conspired to kill a bill that would have taken a whole bunch of plastic and styrofoam out of the waste stream. In fact, this bill was so popular that I simply assumed that the bill had […]
Nnamdi Doubles Down On His Own Demise
I don’t think he has a political death wish. Just think he’s oblivious to the impact that his words have. Hey, at least he’s telling his own vision of the truth even if it leads to his defeat at the hands of Shane Darby. From Amanda Fries’ generally excellent (with one notable exception) article on […]

The Devolution Of The Rethuglican Party Began with–Newt Gingrich? This piece makes a pretty good case–although I think Nixon was the beginning of the party’s descent into pure hatred: Rupert Murdoch famously offered Gingrich a $4.5 million book deal in 1994. That started to smell a tad too stinky. If Gingrich writes his memoirs, he […]
