Carn(e)y’s New Business Council Gives Company $474 K To Create…Maybe 20 Jobs
The founder has already had one big success. Which raises this question, among other questions, why the bleep does this company need taxpayer subsidies? The company in question is Prelude Therapeutics, and the founder had previous success with Incyte. If Cerron Cade is to believed, this is extortion money to keep the company from even thinking of […]

Wilmington City Council Routinely Violates Open Meeting Requirements. Cue sound: Manafort’s $850 Million Deal With Organized Crime Figure And Putin Crony. Remember, Trump didn’t pull his name out of thin air. They both were neck-deep in schemes with Russian oligarchs. DOJ Demands 1.3 Million IP Addresses From Websites Protesting Trump. This isn’t America. Or, this […]

Trump Won’t Say It. His pathetic spinners can’t get him to call white nationalist terrorism for what it is. Because appealing to white nationalists is how he made his political bones. Birtherism, anybody? Why The Sinclair-FCC Lovefest Is Dangerous. At best, at best, it’s Rupert Murdoch Part Deux. Canadians Pay More In Taxes, Get More […]

Massive Embezzlement From DHSS Sparks Changes. One little tidbit I took away from the story–the embezzlement of $1.3 mill wasnn’t revealed to the public until a year after the crime was discovered. BTW, isn’t this something the State Auditor could/should have identified if he was merely doing his job? BTWBTW, nice convenient weekend news dump […]
Trump Refuses To Call Out White Supremacists For Violence
Not even after a car plows into a group of counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va. Trump says the violence has been going on ‘on many sides’. Not today. Violence was the intent of the white nationalists and they accomplished their intent. Trump has never called out terrorism by white nationalists as terrorism. Betcha he doesn’t now […]

Did Nicole Poore Double Her Own Salary At Jobs For Delaware Graduates?
That’s one of only two possibilities. Neither of which paints her stewardship of this worthless organization in a positive light. This rundown of JDG’s 501(c)(3) returns raises an obvious question. Which one of these is not like the others?: $112,485 $112,030 $116,940 $111,700 $110,610 $202,635. (Cue music). OK, you’re probably saying, El Som, you’ve lost […]

Trump As Victim. If you ever want to understand the symbiotic relationship between King Cheeto and his most rabid supporters, you need to understand their shared victimization. If you’ve read Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance, you’re aware of the self-proclaimed victimization of that poor white core of his base. While it’s a sympathetic portrayal, Vance’s […]
