Northern Idaho: The Home Of Christian Nationalism? I’m jiggy wid it. They can have northern Idaho: North Idaho has long been known for its hyperlibertarians, apocalyptic “preppers” and white supremacist groups who have retreated to the region’s sweeping frozen lakes and wild forests to await the collapse of American society, when they’ll assert control over […]

Dave Lawson is old. Is he the kind of old guy who thinks making $150,000 means you smoke cigars and wear a silk top hat? Yes. Is he the kind of old guy who never tips a server more than $1.00, so his family always has to quietly re-tip behind his back? What do you […]

It WAS a pretty interesting day yesterday. I listened to the entire Senate debate on the Community Workforce Agreement section of SB 35 (Walsh), and it’s still as clear as mud to me.

Will Donald Trump be brought to justice in 2023? If so, on which grounds? Would it be for his treasonous role in the Jan. 6 failed coup? His many apparent tax crimes? Michael Smerconish, the reasonable-conservative pundit, says indictment is most likely in the stolen-documents case because special counsel Jack Smith is a bulldog whose […]
Delaware 2022: The Good, The Bad, The Ridiculous
The Good: Jan. 21: Rep. Gerald Brady resigns after getting caught stealing wood from the Newark Ac-Uh-Me. Addition by subtraction. April 14: The Paid Medical And Family Leave Act passes both chambers and is set to become law. Likely the most impactful bill of the year, mainly because Carney and the Kops fought against so […]
Comment Rescue – Does the Democratic Party Ever Lead on Anything?
This is a question from a new commenter – John D Sykes. It is a good one and one that we forget to ask: (O)utside of registration and voting, do the Party leaders activate our rank and file to take public stands on issues such as the state’s climate action plan? I’m thinking of instances […]

But in 2022, after secretaries of state helped thwart Donald […]
Song of the Day 10/7: Cab Calloway, “Have You Ever Met That Funny Reefer Man”
Cab Calloway recorded this in 1932, before cannabis was banned nationwide. Joe Biden didn’t undo that 1937 all by himself yesterday, but pardoning everyone convicted of simple possession is widely seen as a big step towards legalization. You can tell because stocks in marijuana companies went quite a bit higher.

Biden should just roll everything up right now. Get rid of machine guns and pennies. Make Super Bowl Monday a holiday. Medicare For All. They can’t hate him more than they already do. John Fetterman calls on Biden to declassify and work to decriminalize marijuana prior to the President’s visit to Pittsburgh. Trump’s been declared […]
