Speaker McCarthy Makes Another Promise He Can’t Keep. Because–Trump: After House Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested on national television last month that Donald Trump may not be the GOP’s best presidential nominee in 2024, the former president was furious — and wanted the California Republican to rectify the slight immediately. “He needs to endorse me — […]
To figure out if Jason Aldean’s song is pro-lynching pay attention to what the Klan and MAGAs say about it. They’ll let you know.
Jason Aldean @Jason_Aldean In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not […]
Song of the Day 7/19: People Under the Stairs, “The Effects of Climate Change on Densely Populated Areas”
Phoenix just had its 19th consecutive day of temperatures reaching 110° F – the high for the day was 118° – and there’s no sign of when it will abate. The media attention is welcome, and might even convince the public that it’s time to shut the barn door now that the horse is out. […]
Colleen Davis Announces For Congress
I see no path to victory for her in a Democratic Primary, but she has a right to run. I more or less have a right to ignore her candidacy. After this: Colleen Davis, state treasurer, announced Wednesday that she will run for Delaware’s at-large U.S. House of Representatives seat. “Raising three children here in […]

Gun rights group slams Delaware State Fair ban on firearms: ‘blatant insult’
“The Delaware State Fair is now officially anti-gun,” an email blast recently sent to members of the Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association (DSSA) proclaims. The notice sounds off against a policy that prohibits patrons, vendors, exhibitors, volunteers and employees from carrying firearms at the fair from July 20-29, 2023.
The Delaware State Fair website states that “weapons of any kind or objects that appear to be weapons are prohibited and may not be brought onto the fairgrounds.”
Song of the Day 7/18: Judas Priest, “Breaking the Law”
Against all odds, it seems Donald Trump is going to be indicted for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. I’m not sure whether he’ll be charged with being the mastermind or just a master baiter. This song, the second single from Judas Priest’s 1980 album “British Steel,” reached No. 12 on the UK singles […]

Remember back in 2016 when Democrats scared everyone into voting for Hillary Clinton because otherwise the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v Wade? Yeah, Dems can’t feel fear in the same way Republicans can’t feel shame. Senator Murphy: GOP will ‘100 percent’ pass national abortion ban with control of Congress Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) […]
Dem Party primaries are good, except the ones I don’t like. They are bad.
I don’t think people should get out of the way for other people. Since the Democratic Party is the only remaining statewide party in Delaware, the primary IS the election. So have it out. Tell us the “democratic approach” to holding the office you want. Get your people fired up.
Just don’t get into tearing down other candidates. Those are the ones I don’t like.
Song of the Day 7/17: Mr. Big, “To Be With You”
Most of the world considers Mr. Big a one-hit wonder. The Los Angeles-based glam-metal band, active through the ’90s, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in 1991 with an acoustic power ballad, “To Be With You.” The song also reached No. 1 in 14 other countries, notably including Japan. “To Be With You” […]

We can handle the truth. I need to call this out…. Delaware Democrats have a supermajority in both houses…and a […]
