Outrage in Milford (Update: The Signs are coming down)

Click through for a larger version

I saw this picture on Facebook, from a liberal friend downstate, who was sharing it via an original posting of the very nonliberal Dan Gaffney. It is nice to know that the outrage concerning this photo is bipartisan. And what is so outrageous about it, you ask?

Well, you can read what it says in English. In Spanish it says “You have to have a permit to play here or you will be arrested.”

So if you are a white English speaking “American,” you can play here at your own risk so long as you have a parent or guardian watching. If you are brown, if you dare play here without a permit we will arrest your immigrant ass. That is the fucking height of racism, and I will see to it that who ever is responsible for this sign will have their public careers ended immediately.

As usual, the ‘Good List’ is much smaller than the other two.  I can not so humbly state that this is the only list you’ll need to sum up Delaware in 2023.  It’s long, but well worth your time, replete with generous links to the stories: THE GOOD: Jan. 18: Gov. Carney proposes a 9% […]

Tomorrow’s Special Election In RD 37: An Uninformed View From Upstate

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on December 20, 2023 3 Comments

My uninformed view. While R’s have traditionally done better in special elections than D’s, it’s pretty clear that the Democratic Party has the better ground game this time.  Massive phone banks and grassroots activity.  Special elections often are more about the parties than the candidates, and that could well be the case here.  I honestly […]

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 […]

Song of the Day 2/23: The Business, “Drinking and Driving”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Delaware by on February 23, 2023 0 Comments

Would-be politician Scott Walker, the guy who runs for office by setting up home-painted campaign signs along Delaware roads, has never come close to being elected, but his odd behavior makes it obvious that isn’t his goal. Like the guy who fell into a lens grinding machine, he’s making a spectacle of himself. He’s in […]

Filed in National by on December 21, 2022 3 Comments

They’ve done the research: The co-chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party privately told supporters last month that the party’s long-established donors would rather “lose this whole state” than help GOP candidates because they “hate” former President Donald Trump. Michigan GOP co-chair Meshawn Maddock and her husband, state Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford, two faithful Trump supporters, gave […]

Ronald Gray (38th RD) is a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

If you live below the inlet and above the MD line (or in the open air garbage pit that is the rest of the 38th) you will not be surprised to learn Rep Ronald (Ron?) Gray is a MAGA extremist.   I didn’t have much hope that this zombie looking dude who took over from Hocker was going to be anything other than a MAGA extremist, but hope springs eternal.

For example, next up is Milfords favorite son, Bryan Shupe. I’m very hopeful that he will reply simply “Yes to all three.”

In the meantime if you want to read my emails to Gray below.
