Two posts I’ve been holding off writing
1) There is going to be BIG shakeup in Delaware politics if Biden wins. You guys, we’re talking special elections OUT THE ASS. Naturally I’m not writing that post because I don’t want to jinx anything. But I do think Biden is going to win and he is going to poach some people from Delaware to work with him in DC… But who? And no…Not Coons. He will have lost the primary against Scarane. But who?
2) Trump won last time by suppressing the Dem vote. In addition to the criminal machinations, he made an unpopular Hilary Clinton DEEPLY unpopular. I’m not sure the same game plan works this year. I may never write this post. What’s the point? Everyone knows who Trump is. That’s the only real issue in this campaign. Do you support a draft-dodging, criminal with a meager intellect or not?
Song of the Day 8/12: Trini Lopez, “If I Had a Hammer”
Trini Lopez, a Dallas-born ’50s rock-‘n’-roller who rode the Great Folk Music Scare to stardom in the ’60s, died yesterday of the COVID. He was 83. This Pete Seeger tune was his biggest hit, reaching No. 3 in 1963. Lopez started out as a teen, forming a group called the Big Beats. He left for […]

Ilhan Omar Wins Primary. By a much larger margin than last time. Her opponent was a supposed progressive, but got lots of funding from bundlers for ‘pro-Israel’ PACs. Memo to lazy reporters and Chris Coons: ‘Pro-Israel’ and ‘Pro-Netanyahu’ are not the same thing. A Balanced Look At Kamala Harris. While much of the response verges […]
Harris is the 4th Most Liberal Member of the US Senate
Coons is 36th with an “F” rating.

Biden Picks Harris – Reaction Thread
Unless some double reverse trickery is afoot – It is probably Harris.
Social media buzz tells me the announcement it is happening tonight. React here is you need a safe space away from all the right-wing outrage and “objective” media concern trolling.
Song of the Day 8/11: Talking Heads, “Burning Down the House”
This is the song Trump should be playing at his rallies. The first single taken from the band’s 1983 “Speaking in Tongues” LP, it became the highest-charting single of their career, peaking at No. 9. The song grew out of a jam by drummer Chris Frantz, who was inspired by seeing a Parliament/Funkadelic concert, and […]
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya Safely in Lithuania
Lukashenko opponent left Belarus under duress, say aides
Hours after refusing to concede without an election recount, former teacher Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has left Belarus and called for an end to anti-government protests. The U.S. and E.U. have condemned the police violence against protestors, saying the election was not “free and fair.”
Be ready for this in the US, my dear readers and comrades.
Our own rendezvous with destiny is creeping ever closer. When the time comes, we must be ready to defend freedom, decency and justice.

Kentuckians Angry That Moscow Mitch Has Absented Himself From Relief Negotiations. He could go down in a blue tsunami. Mark Meadows Basically Blew Up Relief Negotiations. Pelosi thinks he’s Mnuchin’s ‘enforcer’. The D’s, of course, had already caved, going from $3 trillion to $2 trillion. Does that mean that any new negotiation starts at $2 […]

Literally anybody but Klobs
Belarusians Turn Out for General Strike in Response to Another Corrupt Election
It could get awkward, (Dem “leadership” is so weak they’d rather given in to Trump than fight) but if Trump steals this election widespread protests and a nationwide general strike to cripple the economy are going to be in order.
(CNN)Belarus’ main opposition candidate, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, has rejected preliminary election results giving the country’s longtime President, Alexander Lukashenko, a landslide election victory with 80% of the vote.
“I believe my own eyes, the majority was for us,” Tikhanovskaya said in a news conference on Monday, according to multiple local media reports. “We do not recognize the election results. We have seen real protocols. We urge those who believe that their voice was stolen not to remain silent.”
Be prepared.
