Would you like to know if your state legislator actually worked at his/her other state job? HB 176 by House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle would make public documents the timecards of state legislators. Yesterday, Democrats in the House Administrative committee defeated the measure on a party line vote. It was feared too many Democrats would [...]

The Bloom Energy Deal is beyond a sweet heart deal. It is promising two kids and 21 years of guaranteed child support whether or not we get together. The WNJ has an article which shows that we promise them unspecified millions without them even contracting to build the plant. I guess a handshake works. But Gov. Jack [...]

I have been concerned that a “global settlement” on the mortgage fraud issue would undermine the few hard fought gains won in recent legislation. It would leave tens of thousands without justice and do nothing to get the big banks to abide by trade offs of modifications for trillions of federal money (bailout, federal reserve, [...]

Did the Obama Administration dig up a little known law called, “The Lacey Act,” to let Gibson know, who’s is charge?

Freedom of speech is one of our Founding principles. It was included in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Clearly freedom of speech was upper most in the minds of the Founding Fathers. This freedom allows us to discuss the issues of the day, without the fear of reprisal from our government. Throughout [...]

If the choice is between justice for people who have been discriminated against and plumb positions for the politically connected, it is an easy choice for Delaware Democrats. Get rid of civil rights enforcement and give the job to a top Democrat. If anyone has doubts that the Democrats’ care for minorities is an election [...]

What is the deal? Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart (KWS) made much public fan fare about her audit of Blue Cross’ denial of pre-test heart claims. It looked like our insurance commissioner was looking out for the people. A year later, we still do not know what the result of the audit is. I wrote [...]

Joe Biden’s team decided to violate the rights of a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel. The Vice Kidnapper in Chief didn’t want reporter Scott Powers to mingle with the rich hoity toity liberal big buck donors at an Orlando Florida fundraiser for Democrat Senator Nelson. Biden’s staffers locked the reporter in a closet. Remember when [...]

You have to wonder why Maryland voters reward this type of cronyism. Delaware, do you want to see what one party rule does? I guess we only have to look at New Castle County.

So said a House Ethics Panel today. Rangel was not at the verdict today. He protested that he needed more time than the two years granted and new attorneys. They did him a favor. The current majority is not talking expulsion as a punishment. They delayed the hearing until after the election and have taken [...]

At different times during its history, a nation inevitably experiences “now or never” moments, turning points irrevocably leading to its restoration or to unmitigated disaster. At such times, a yawning precipice opens up revealing a danger so wide, deep and threatening that if one more step is taken, the entire national enterprise falls off a [...]

The Liberal Democrats have picked their poison and have chosen to defend the indefensible. Liberal Democrat Jack Markell has decided to stand by his ill advised appointment of Velda Potter-Jones or is is it Velda Jones-Potter? Keep Velda is part of the corrupt Wilmington Liberal Democrat clique that has transformed a once proud first city of [...]

Former House Republican leader, Tom Delay was cleared of all federal charges and the state prosecutor who shopped for a pliable grand jury after repeated turn-downs, refused Delay’s pleas for a trial. He knew Delay was not guilty and couldn’t figure out a way to convict him. Making him wait 4 years with no end [...]

On the Department of Insurance website is a blistering statement refusing to give out information to Rep. Daniel Short and others because she says it will compromise her own investigation. I will accept that at face value. The question that I have is how do you comment on her site? There is no box for [...]

Read about it here. I am so glad that we got rid of the culture of corruption. I hasten to add that a man is innocent until proven guilty.

I have never been insurance commissioner, but it seems to me that a key step in good management of the Department would be to hire a Director of Company Regulation. The legislators asked her why the position was vacant after nearly a year and a half in office and it is still vacant months later. [...]
