DL’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2020–Part 5: The Statewides
Insurance Commissioner (D Primary): Trinidad Navarro vs. Kayode Abegunde. There are circumstances under which I could be persuaded to consider someone other than Navarro for this office. This is not one of those circumstances. Abegunde’s campaign, such as it is, has all the earmarks of a vanity campaign. He hasn’t really engaged in a debate […]

No Platform. Just Criminals-In-Waiting. They will try to steal the election. They now have no other alternative as they’re all-in on Trump as the Savior of America. DeJoy: ‘No Machines For You’. Watch what he does, not what he says. He is a key part of the plot to steal the election for Trump. Falwell […]

Kellyanne And George Conway Depart The Political Scene. Apparently their kids, most of them anyway, need them. One of the kids has been on Twitter criticizing both of her parents. Wants AOC to adopt her. Trump: God Killed 160,000 To Test Me: We achieved together and what we’re doing together is nothing short of an […]

Trump, Mnuchin, DeJoy Conspired To Weaken Post Office. How they did it, particularly DeJoy, the ‘bull in a china shop’. House passes postal service relief package. 26 R’s vote yes, the consistently strange Tulsi Gabbard goes ‘not voting’. Trump’s Sister: Trump Has ‘No Principles And ‘You Can’t Trust Him’. Here most notable quotes about him. […]

How Biden Could Still Lose. Opinion from an anti-Trump Republican. How Trump And Sonny Perdue Screwed Georgia Farmers. I almost feel sorry for them. But they voted for him. Probably will again. We Hardly Knew ‘Ye. Kanye West bounced from Wisconsin and Ohio ballots. Bannon And His Billionaire Chinese Yacht Pal Apparently Tried To Create […]

‘An Ally Of The Light, Not The Darkness’. That’s sure a more compelling theme than ‘America is great, we can make it even greater’. It’s also the stark choice we face. Trump’s base is the darkness. Which we’ll see next week. Biden’s best speech. Dare I say it, a great speech. The night’s other hero? […]

Obama Lays It On The Line–Our Democracy Is At Stake. “Do not let them take away your power,” Obama said. “Don’t let them take away your democracy.” Pundits’ Punditry. I’m more interested in your thoughts. I really wonder what the Rethugs’ prospective hate-fest will accomplish. Gotta say, knowing in advance that they were going virtual […]

Brandywine High School Undeniable Star Of Night 2! OK, I’m an alumnus and, yes, I can still sing the alma mater. My take on Night 2–we saw far too many Delaware politicos tonight. Mediocrity times 4. Thumbs up for the roll call and Jill’s speech, though. Senate Report: Contact Between Trump, Manafort And Russia Was […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2020: Part 4–The State Senate Races
There aren’t very many races, but I find them all to be interesting, albeit often for different reasons: State Senator District 14 (R Primary): Craig Pugh vs. Terrance Baker. Gotta say it–I like this Craig Pugh. No, not b/c he is a progressive (he’s not), but b/c he strikes me as a hard-working guy who […]

The First Night. So Much Punditry. My take is as meaningless as everyone else’s. Except for yours. What did you think? OK, gotta say, Michelle Obama is one of the greatest public speakers in our nation’s history. Can we all agree on that? Meanwhile, Look Who Will Speak At The Rethug Convention. I cannot make […]

Pelosi To Recall House To Address Post Office Emergency. As well she should. It could be as early as Saturday–right after the convention. It’s not just the ballots. People depend on the postal service for their prescriptions, and they’re not getting them on time. There are numerous other examples. I think that even the Senate […]
DL EXCLUSIVE: Chris Coons’ ‘Champion For Healthy Seniors Award’ Is A Big Fat Fraud–
–perpetrated on Delaware’s unsuspecting voters by…wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. The ads are everywhere. In your mailbox, on the internets, in the paper, all congratulating Coons on having ‘won’ the 2020 ‘Champion For Healthy Seniors Award’. It’s right there on p. 29A of the Sunday News-Journal, which I can’t cut & paste b/c it’s […]
