General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, March 24, 2022
Wow, a good day! Much of it memorialized in the press, which always makes my job easier. SS1/SB 101 (Townsend), which provides legal assistance to renters in landlord-tenant disputes, cleared the House Housing And Community Affairs Committee. Huge shout-outs not only to Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf, Rep. Bud Freel, and committee chair Kendra Johnson, but also […]
Song of the Day 3/24: U2, “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of”
As the Ukraine War grinds into its second month, this seems like a fitting commentary on Vladimir Putin’s predicament. Bono wrote the song, which appeared on the band’s 2000 LP “All That You Can’t Leave Behind,” after the suicide of his friend Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS, as an argument against suicide. Seems like […]

Looks Like The Manhattan DA Ran Interference For Trump: Trump ‘Guilty Of Multiple Felonies’: The question, of course, is why did this Alvin Bragg pull the plug on the investigation? One of the senior Manhattan prosecutors who investigated Donald J. Trump believed that the former president was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it […]
Sedition. Simple as That.
This statement released by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on the occasion of Trump pulling his endorsement of Brooks should be bombshell news that pushes all other news into irrelevance. It will not, of course. Our 4th estate is useless. President Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, March 23, 2022
False advertising. At least for the most part. I couldn’t shut off my brain following what happened with LEOBOR Reform yesterday. I’m not sure my thoughts will make any more sense as I write them down, but I’m gonna try. In one inexplicable regard, what Tizzy Lockman did yesterday is unprecedented when it comes to […]
Song of the Day 3/23: Dead Kennedys, “Police Truck”
There’s a reason police act above the law: They are. The so-called “police bill of rights” is a list of special privileges that place them outside the laws that govern the rest of us, supposedly (we all know being white and rich makes you nearly as immune as a police badge). Anyway, here’s Jello Biafra’s […]

Look at this FEMA flood zone map for Ft Dupont. It would be funny if it were not so transparently corrupt and sickening.
Also check out the Delaware Call’s reporting on the Fort DuPont robbery.
No due diligence. No oversight. No workable business plan. No shame. Just a bunch of well connected people converting public assets into money and shoving that money into their pockets at a furious clip.
One can only conclude that Longhurst and Poore simply don’t give a fuck about looking corrupt as hell. Here is Cato the Elder on the topic, once more for good measure.
“Thieves of private property pass their lives in chains; thieves of public property in riches and luxury.”
Meaningful LEOBOR Reform Was Dead As Soon As Sen. Lockman Took Charge
Talk about not learning from history. Tizzy Lockman chose the same failed path that Val Longhurst, for example, tried with the NRA and the Delaware Sportsmen’s Association. You know, involve ‘all the stakeholders’ in the conversation. As if you can negotiate with legislative hostage takers. Riddle me this, Batman. How many ‘stakeholders’, including community activists, […]
Tucker Carlson Tells His Millions of Viewers that Transgender is Not Real
Listen to Tucker Carlson intentionally misgender a Biden administration official and in so doing provide a hateful transgender-denying script to his millions of idiot viewers like Rick Jensen. TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Rachel Levine is a biological man who has lived life as a biological man — married, kids, the whole thing, and then, at some point, fairly recently, decided, […]
Song of the Day 3/22: Bobby Bloom, “Montego Bay”
Before Bob Marley, Caribbean music in the U.S. mostly had a Latin flavor and beats that favored ballroom-style dancing. But every once in a while a bit of calypso and its Jamaican cousin, mento, would slip through, as in 1970, when two Brooklynites — former doo-wop singer and jingle writer Bobby Bloom and tunesmith Jeff […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 22, 2022
We’re in a legislative holding pattern. ‘Some’ would call it a slog. Passing nothing of any real importance while waiting (in vain) for them to consider something of importance. Anybody remember police reform? It likely won’t happen. This session may well have peaked when Medical And Family Leave passed. Ho-kay. I’ll try to make this […]

Here we go again. A very popular progressive is beating a centrist corporate lickspittle. You know the rest. A super PAC backing Pennsylvania Senate candidate Conor Lamb is warning prospective donors that he is trailing frontrunner John Fetterman by 30 percentage points in the Democratic primary — and that the public’s perception of his opponent’s […]
