Get On Board The Kathleen Davies Bandwagon
Yes, we have an outstanding candidate for State Auditor. One who is building some momentum. I’ve been slow to recognize this development, but both Kevin Ohlandt and Blue Delaware have been on top of it. Mea culpa. You just have to read the linked Ohlandt piece, which is great journalism. Turns out the reason that […]
“Our State Has Decided to Allow Our Children to Become Transgenders”
That’s the opinion of one man, anyway, State Rep. Rich Collins, R-Bedrock, who vows not to let it happen on his watch. WXDE’s Rob Petree, who interviewed Collins, cited the policies at issue, including rules that “school districts and charter schools would be required to work with students and families on providing access to locker […]

Yes, Vote Totals May Well Have Been Altered Due To Russian Interference. Besides, it’s written by Charles Pierce, so it’s a great read. But, it’s an essential read. A rare excerpt: We are creeping ever closer to actual evidence that there was Russian ratfcking of the vote totals in the last election. Not long ago, […]
General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., May 16, 2017
Before we look at what’s happening today, we first must address what SHOULD happen today: The House should censure Rep. Steve Smyk for his disgraceful behavior in inciting violence. The demagogic ex-cop told a grave lie that has now taken over right-wing media, a lie that could well lead to violence. Nancy Willing lays it […]

How Democrats Created Betsy DeVos
While educators and politicians throughout the land are recoiling at the notion of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, Democrats created her. Or someone like her. The Democratic Party’s embrace of corporate education, corporate textbooks, corporate testing and corporate-sponsored ‘education reform’ is what led to this.
Markell’s Final Report Card
From a progressive viewpoint, I can only be disappointed by the mediocrity of Markell’s tenure, but I’m sure the Corporate-Clinton Democrats are quite content.
The November 30, 2016 Thread
President-elect Donald Trump says he intends to set aside his business interests to focus on “running the country,” Bloomberg reports.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the President-elect wrote: “I will be holding a major news conference in New York City with my children on December 15 to discuss the fact that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to make America great again!”
That’s insufficient if his children will be running the businesses and also acting as paid or unpaid, official or unofficial advisers. He must liquidate all his businesses and all his real estate holdings across the planet at once or face unconstitutional conflicts of interest that will require his immediate removal of office upon his inauguration.
