Is Dan Cruce Dave McBride Part Deux? Meaning, is he even eligible to hold office as State Senator from SD 1, or is he, in fact, just another Suxco resident seeking a Senate seat in NCC/Wilmington? Here is the complaint that has been filed with Anthony Albence of the Department Of Elections: Commissioner Albence, As a […]
Song of the Day 2/5: Johnny Rivers, “Secret Agent Man”
Word comes that the Musk administration has given all personnel in the Central Intelligence Agency his “buy-out” offer. It seems to me that pissing off thousands of spies might be risky business, but given how effectively the CIA has been at keeping the Russians from fucking with our lives, I’m not counting on their revenge […]

Elon Musk Takes Over America While D’s Apologize Over Hunter Biden’s Pardon. No, not at the same time. But Democrats have now proven themselves utterly incapable of pushing back at all on the oligarchy they have allowed to happen. They are feckless, lacking feck. A non-citizen who is a Nazi sympathizer and a racist […]
Song of the Day 2/4: Baby Huey & the Babysitters, “Hard Times”
Even without Demolition Donny’s pointless tariffs, prices aren’t going down anytime soon, by which I mean “ever.” Song of the Day is well-equipped for what’s coming, because as long as music has been recorded, people have been singing about hard times. Get used to it. You might know this as a Curtis Mayfield song. He […]

Is This Lawsuit Really Necessary? Can someone please explain to me why Matt Meyer simply won’t, or can’t, submit his nominees to the State Senate for the Diamond State Port Board and just be done with it? If the State Senate was determined to approve BHL’s nominations, they would already have done it. As far […]
Song of the Day 2/3: The House of Love, “Beatles and the Stones”
As El Somnambulo noted, last night’s Grammy Awards handed out trophies to both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones – the Beatles for “Now and Then,” a John Lennon demo that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr massaged into one last Fab Four record, and the Stones for “Hackney Diamonds,” an album that plowed over old […]

Musk Runs Amok. Dems Do Nothing. If a political party does nothing to challenge arguably the most-despised person in the world, one who is bent on destroying the fourth branch of government (call it the civil service, call it the bureaucracy), it ceases to be a political party worthy of support. Take, for example, USAID: […]
Our New State Democratic Chair?
One can only hope–and/or become a delegate to the State Convention to make sure that the Betsy Maron Era is over. Evelyn Waters Brady, who recently served as Matt Meyer’s Transition Director, has been credibly linked to the post. In other words, credible sources are saying that she’s running for the position. I love her […]
Song of the Day 2/2: Delbert McClinton, “Weatherman”
As my late colleague Allan Loudell used to say, “It’s Groundhog Day all over again.” I’ll watch the 1993 cult classic again tonight as a tonic against our vile, egotistic times. I’ll bet the Young Chud Generation sees no reason for Phil Connors to change his behavior, which might be why we’re stuck in our […]

Non-Citizen Nazi Sympathizer Granted Access To All Federal Payment Info: The Trump administration has approved plans to grant Treasury officials affiliated with Elon Musk’s team access to the federal system that handles trillions of dollars in payments, according to two people familiar with the situation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has signed off on a plan […]

Trump Starts Massive Purge Of FBI And DOJ. Targeted at anybody who had anything to do with Trump And Jan. 6 cases: President Donald Trump’s administration has launched a sweeping effort to potentially fire a large number of FBI agents across the country who worked on investigations targeting the president and his supporters, three people […]
Song of the Day 1/31: Marianne Faithfull, “As Tears Go By”
Some people – old ones – will remember Marianne Faithfull as Mick Jagger’s girlfriend from London’s Swinging ’60s. She was 17 and just starting out as a folk singer when Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham “discovered” her at a party. Oldham, who fashioned himself the British Phil Spector, launched her career by giving her […]
DTI’s Growing Pains: A Measured Take on Internal and External Challenge
Guest Post By Another Frustrated but Hopeful Anonymous DTI Insider The recent op-ed published in Delaware Liberal paints a damning picture of the Department of Technology and Information (DTI). While it is true that DTI is not without its flaws, the piece leans heavily on hyperbole, personal attacks, and omissions that make it easy for […]
