Breathe, but not too heavy. Look, but do not appear guilty. Speak, but never answer back. These are the constant reminders of being Black In America. After playing three games in the hot southern heat, all the Delaware State women’s lacrosse team wanted to do was make it back to Delaware with ease. However, things went left when they got pulled over by Georgia State police.
On April 20 at 10:31am, Tim Jones, black bus driver, was stopped by Georgia State police. The officers claimed it was a traffic violation because buses are not permitted to drive in the left lane. The cops came on the bus to inform the students that they would be checking their luggage for any possible narcotics, such as marijuana, heroin, methane, and ketamine.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., May 11, 2022
Today we’ll see if there is any Senate concern over Sen. Nicole Poore’s blatant (IMO) conflict-of-interest over her sponsorship of HB 355, which would place her on the Ft. DuPont Redevelopment And Preservation Board. Meaning, she (and Deb Heffernan) would be on a board seeking funds from the General Assembly while both hold the power […]

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., May 5, 2022
Some interesting bills on today’s agendas. But first, here is Wednesday’s session activity report. Make of it what you will. Only a two-bill Senate Agenda, but both are consequential. SB 100 (Townsend) ‘establishes a Public Education Compensation Committee for the purpose of reviewing Delaware’s educator compensation structure and its ability to compete with regional school […]

It feels more than a little depressing to be living in a post-Wade world. Not even so much because of the decision, but because of the acquiescence and unwillingness/inability to fight back from the Centrist Party. Democracy is at stake, it really is. What passes for the Democratic Party is not up to defending it. […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Everything pales in contrast to the Supreme Court killing Roe v. Wade. Thankfully, Delaware enacted legislation retaining all the protections of Roe v. Wade in the event that this day would ever come. I believe that the ‘gentlemanly’ Orrin Hatch helped put Alito on the Court. As did Tom Carper, who voted against filibustering Alito. […]
These Ten Incumbents Need Challengers ASAP!
This list does not include any incumbents who already have credible challengers. It also does not include either Speaker Pete or Our PAL Val. I just think that, with their war chests, it makes more sense to remove them from leadership by electing more progressives to the General Assembly. We already have some good challengers, […]
Gov. Carney Owes Delawareans An Answer To This Question:
If a marijuana legalization bill reaches your desk, will you: A. Sign it? B. Let it become law without your signature? Or: C. Veto it? I ask this question because your stock answer, “I’m looking forward to hearing the debate on the floor”, doesn’t apply. As if it ever did. You’ve by now heard countless legislative debates […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 14, 2022
Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Both HB’s 371 and 372 were released from House committees, meaning marijuana legalization is not dead yet. I was pleased and somewhat surprised that HS1/HB293 was released, but now I know why: The bill doesn’t do what I thought it did. The General Assembly would indeed to continue to exempt […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 13, 2022
Uneventful day yesterday. Stephanie Bolden was back, but the Ft. DuPont Cash Cow bill wasn’t run. There’s always Thursday. Only real item of note was that HB 259 (Lambert) was tabled in the Senate. Likely either a technical glitch or a request for more information. Everything else passed on both agendas with no controversy. Take […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Hoo-boy, we’ve got some real interesting bills to talk about right off the bat. Take, for example, HB 372 (Osienski). The bill ‘regulates and taxes marijuana in the same manner as alcohol’. I honestly haven’t had time to look at the differences between this bill and the failed bill, but they’re similar. It’s still a […]
DL Open Thread Monday March 14th 2022
Quick Q before we start this week…What’s your spirit flower? I’m a daffodil. I know that’s a hackey, obvious flower but I didn’t pick it. The daffodil picked me. Anyhoo…I mention that here because we are now just weeks away from my heyday. Whatever flower you are, (Azalea, Tulip, Poppy, Sunflower, Rose, Orchid, Iris, Peony, Chrysanthemum, […]

The Latest On Putin’s War. More like Putin’s obsession. Looks like the only way it ends is if someone in Russia takes out Putin. If you want your propaganda with a positive spin, Kos is here to help. Based on his praising the inevitability of Hillary Clinton, I’d take his words with more than a […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, March 10, 2022
No burying the lede here: The House will consider the legalization and regulation of recreational marijuana today. The bill requires 25 yes votes (3/5 majority). If all D’s voted yes, the bill would pass with one vote to spare. There are 17 co-sponsors, all of them D. The following D’s are not sponsors on the […]
