As El Som noted in today’s Open Thread, Jack White has joined the veritable seven-nation army of musicians who’ve demanded Trump’s campaign stop using their music for rallies and online videos.

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.  […]

Song of the Day 8/29: Dire Straits, “Money for Nothing”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 29, 2024 13 Comments

Whatever else he does, Donald Trump remains committed to the Art of the Grift. Amid his soporific campaigning and military cemetery lawbreaking, he found time to peddle a new line of so-called digital trading cards. This is as close as one can come to paying money for nothing, but Trump fans can be counted on […]

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 […]

Two in one day?  Why?  Because early voting has begun, and this story just HAS to be told to as many voters as possible.  Besides, I finished it early. Pull up a chair, folks, this is gonna be a long one. Incumbent Val Longhurst, heretofore to be referred to as Our PAL Val, embodies everything […]

Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s the Kamala afterglow – today calls for some sunshine pop. Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) is part of the Animal Collective, a group of songwriter/producers who work together, separately and in various combinations on projects that usually bring an electronic/techno sensibility to pop, or vice versa. Sonic Boom (Peter Kember) […]

It’s where anybody who is paying attention should have already gone.

This unethical activity pretty much started when she first ran for office and (a) her husband stole her […]

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. […]

Flag of the Month: The 51-Star Flag of Puerto Rican Statehood

Guest post by Jason 330 “USA! USA! USA!” I’m not a big “USA!” chant guy, but when this chant was raised at the DNC, I loved it. I loved how Harris ripped the flag away from the party of insurrection and poked them in the eye with the golden eagle. No. If fascism comes to […]
