I hereby take a timeout from moderating the blog to trying to write the daily Open Thread post.  Moderating ain’t easy, especially when one is not a moderate.  Can’t recall a year where there’s been more ‘working of the refs’.  But, I digress. Nobody Has Ever Seen The Likes Of This Trump Article Ever Before.  […]

Wasn’t gonna do this.  But, I can’t help myself. US Representative:  Sarah McBride (D) and Donyale Hall (R).  Assuming, of course, that anybody turns out to vote in the Republican Primary. Governor:  Matt Meyer (D) wins, doesn’t quite get to 50%.  Let’s say 46%, BHL 32%, O’Mara 22%.  Can’t wait for the Delaware Way implosion […]

The most important item(s) you’ll read all day is/are in the comments section of the Lydia York article.  Suffice it to say that the State Democratic Party’s embrace of a nominee as consistently corrupt as Bethany Hall-Long is an utter disgrace.  And spare me the bullshit about the democratic process that led to her endorsement.  […]

Let’s not bury the lede:  In recent Delaware history, meaning as far back as I can remember, there has NEVER been a candidate with such a lengthy litany of unethical and illegal behavior like Bethany Hall-Long.  From the beginning of her political career up to the present, her actions and those of her husband create […]

Supreme Court Tells Students To Drop Dead.  Oh, they’ll get around to considering it eventually, but we all know the result is pre-ordained: The Supreme Court has rejected the Biden administration’s emergency request to intervene in litigation that has blocked the president’s new student loan repayment program, leaving millions of borrowers in limbo. Biden launched […]

It’s where anybody who is paying attention should have already gone. Bethany Hall-Long has engaged in so much illegal and unethical activity that any reasonable person should realize that she absolutely should not be our next Governor. This unethical activity pretty much started when she first ran for office and (a) her husband stole her […]

Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #3–RD 14

Yesterday, I wrote this: If you’ve been following the ‘most intriguing’ races series, you will note an overriding theme to most of the races–there’s a Delaware Way candidate and there’s someone challenging the Delaware Way. The Delaware Way in Dover reflects the insider casual corruption of Pete Schwartzkopf, Our PAL Val Longhurst, and their enablers. […]

You all know Dr. Frank Burns.  He almost defeated Mike Ramone in 2022 and likely hastened Ramone’s decision to abandon his home turf for Sussex County.  And a race for Governor.  Burns is a true progressive, twice endorsed by WFP, who has helped to train other progressive candidates for office.  He gives back. His campaign […]

Of Runzas And Hot Pockets.  Pretty sure you can put that single Nebraska electoral vote in the D win column…: A Runza, for the uninitiated, is a German-style meat and cabbage sandwich sold by a Nebraska-based hamburger chain of the same name. Walz’s caravan stopped at a Runza restaurant, at 77th and L Streets on […]
