I’m sure you’ll find plenty to enjoy: The artist is Jett Kwong: My first take: He could be the artist I hoped Mac Demarco would become: ‘I’m making all my rules up.’ Nathan Arizona’s fave of the month?: I briefly worried that Bartees […]

Company That Made The Texas Killer’s Assault Weapon Marketed It To Kids. Hey, it’s just like vaping: The Texas shooting, which left 19 schoolchildren and two teachers dead and more than a dozen wounded, has put a national spotlight on Daniel Defense, a family-owned business in Georgia that has emerged as a trailblazer in an […]

Police Were Slow To Engage Because They ‘Could’ve Been Shot’: Olivarez said that, while the goal for law enforcement during active-shooter situations such as the one this week in Uvalde is to stop the killing and preserve life, officers did not initially know where Ramos was located when they were shot at. “At that point, […]

Which Senator Has Taken The Most NRA $$’s? Pretty much all the R’s have cashed in. Doubt that you can guess #1.

DE House Can Put A Dent In Gun Violence. Why Won’t They Do It?
I will first quote an excerpt from AG Kathleen Jennings’ statement on yesterday’s Texas massacre: Our state and our nation must choose change, including a ban on the military-style assault rifles that both shooters are reported to have used. It’s also long past time for Delaware to pass into law Senate Bill 3, legislation creating […]
Carney Vetoes Marijuana Bill

Mastriano Was MAGAt Before MAGAt Was Mainstream. Wrote of left-wing ‘Hitlerian putsch’ back in 2001: Two decades before he was Republican nominee for Pennsylvania governor, Doug Mastriano warned in a master’s thesis that the United States was vulnerable to a left-wing “Hitlerian Putsch” that would begin with the dismantling of the U.S. military and end […]
