It’s primary day. If you haven’t already, don’t forget to vote. If you don’t know your polling location, you can look it up here. A Trump-appointed federal judge has ruled that Pennsylvania’s shutdown of businesses and ban on large gatherings are unconstitutional. Gov. Tom Wolf plans to appeal. It’s clear Donald Trump got his notions […]
VERY Late Polling Place Change for 09-11
Crossroads Presbyterian Church notified the Department elections late last week that the church would not be open for Spet 15th primary election – AND THE DEPARTMENT IS JUST GETTING THE NOTICE OUT NOW.
The polling pace finder STILL shows Crossroads as my polling place.
WTF?
Song of the Day 9/14: The A’s, “A Woman’s Got the Power”
Trump keeps trying to insult Kamala Harris, and he looks weaker every time he does. Her presence on the Democratic Party ticket clearly infuriates him — what doesn’t, right? — so I think she should be front and center for the rest of the campaign. I also think she should adopt this as her campaign […]
Jason330’s Predictions
I predict that no matter what happens tomorrow, candidates like Jess Scarane, Sarah McBride, Kyle Evans Gay, Marie Pinkney, Kyra Hoffner, Larry Lambert, Rae Moore, Sean Matthews, Madinah Wilson-Anton, Eric Morrison, Matt Meyer, Ciro Poppiti, and Kevin Caneco are the future of the Delaware Democratic Party and the gasping-for-breath, “Dark Money Dems” are done. If not in this election, in 24 months. (All seats, even Senate seats, are back in play in the next election.)
Read this about Rhode Island if you haven’t yet and tell me it doesn’t sound like Delaware.
The people I mention above (and other great insurgent candidates) just need to stay in the fight between elections. Keep your campaigns in place, and the intellectually and physically exhausted Ennis/Jaques/Carney/BHL/Carney/Coons Democratic Party will be ousted. If not now… soon.

Yo, Biden And Harris: Get Your Asses Out To the Pacific Northwest. Have the governors of Cali, Oregon and Washington there. Draw a line in the sand and say that these fires demonstrate that global warming is real, that this is the most urgent problem facing us, that you will reverse every one of Trump’s […]
Song of the Day 9/13: Will Sheridan, “Set Fire to the Streets”
Bear, Delaware, native Will Sheridan Jr. was a basketball star at Sanford School before playing at Villanova University from 2003 to 2007 and, briefly, as a pro in Italy. When he returned to the US he became a rapper and musician in New York City; his first LP, “G.I.A.N.T.,” was released in 2012. This track […]
Notorious UD Climate Change Denier Hired for Top NOAA Post
NPR is reporting that David LeGates, the University of Delaware geology geography professor who has made a career of denying that human activity has affected global climate, has been appointed to a top position at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by the Trump administration. Excerpts from the From the NPR story (emphasis mine): Legates has […]
Getting Hyper-Local to Help Elect More and Better Dems
Studies show that nothing beats face to face interaction for influencing voters. While that is out these day, friends and neighbors have an inside track when it comes to getting a message out – particularly when it comes to getting the message out about insurgent primary campaigns.
That’s why I got the “Vote Builder” list for Dems in my neighborhood who voted in primaries and put together this little door hanger including a little note from me. They are going out to 88 neighbors today and tomorrow.

Sanders Raises Concerns About Biden Campaign. He’s right, of course. Could the Biden campaign at least demonstrate that they’re not taking progressive voters for granted? I have visions of Goldman Sachs execs polishing up their resumes. Bloomberg To Dump $100 Mill In Florida For Biden. Mostly in digital ads in Spanish and English. Wouldn’t hurt […]
Song of the Day 9/12: Toots and the Maytals, “Do the Reggay”
Frederick “Toots” Hibbert, the Jamaican vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who gave reggae music its name and wrote some of its classic tunes, including “Pressure Drop” and “Monkey Man,” died yesterday, apparently of complications of COVID-19. He was 78. The Maytals, led by Hibbert’s powerful voice, were already a popular vocal group when they released “Do the […]

Trump Silent On Wildfire Disasters. Hey, Cali, Oregon and Washington don’t matter to Trump. Some good news: there’s been a wind shift in Oregon as the rainy season approaches. BTW, the Dems are no better. Can’t someone, you know, fly out there? US Court Of Appeals Rules Felons Must Pay Fines Before They Can Vote. […]
Song of the Day 9/11: Kool & the Gang, “Jungle Boogie”
Ronald Bell, later Khalis Bayyan, a co-founder of Kool & the Gang who co-wrote most of their biggest hits, died this week, age 68, at his home in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The band he and his younger brother, Robert “Kool” Bell, started as teenagers cycled through many musical styles over the years, from jazz […]

Trump Cuts Back On TV Ads–Rethugs Worry. Y’know, if Trump were to throw in some of his fictitious billions, they’d have no problem. California Fires Reflect Immediate Need To Address Climate Change. BTW, has anybody seen any sign of the Federal government helping out? I haven’t. 10% of Oregon residents must evacuate. Court Blocks Trump […]
