Delaware Democrats have a simple housing theory: build more homes, and prices will behave. Nice idea. So is teaching a cat to file taxes. Governor Matt Meyer’s Housing for Every Delawarean Act pushes many local governments to plan for higher housing density. It also lets qualifying developments bypass some public hearings and discretionary approvals. That may speed up construction. It also puts local control in the trunk and lets Dover drive. More building does not automatica

China can manufacture almost anything. That is impressive. But one tiny problem remains, roughly the size of a Walmart parking lot: someone has to buy the stuff. According to Turley Talks, that is where President Donald Trump sees America’s advantage. China has factories. America has the consumer market Beijing still needs. Trade power starts with who controls access to the market. China’s factory machine has a demand problem. China remains the world’s manufacturing giant. No

Delaware’s U.S. Senate race now has a date circled in red ink: Thursday, October 22. Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Coons and Republican challenger Dr. Mike Katz will appear together at a public candidate forum in Wilmington, hosted by the Rotary Club of Wilmington. The timing is not subtle. October 22 is also the first day of early voting in Delaware. Election Day follows on Tuesday, November 3. That gives the forum the feel of a final exam with voters already sharpening their p

Ballots are not pop quizzes, but they can feel like one if you walk in cold. Election Day is November 3, and early voting begins October 22. That gives Delaware voters time to compare candidates, check endorsements, and find a polling place before the civic version of “choose wisely.” In this year’s primary election, one district was won by only 7 votes. This legislative session, several bills passed or failed on a single vote. Build my voter guide - devoterguide.com A little

Taxpayers are not an all-you-can-eat buffet. That is the basic idea behind President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and its Medicaid changes. The fight is simple. Who should qualify for federally funded health benefits? Under Section 71109, Medicaid and CHIP eligibility would narrow. Coverage would generally focus on U.S. citizens, nationals, and lawful permanent residents. That means some legally present immigrants, including certain refugees, asylees, and parolees, could

People will tell you your vote doesn’t matter. Don’t believe it. Election Day is November 3, and civil government answers to the people only when they show up. https://elections.delaware.gov/elections/votinglocations.html General Election Early Voting Dates & Times: October 22, 2026 – October 24, 2026, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. October 25, 2026 – NO EARLY VOTING October 26, 2026 – October 27, 2026, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. October 28, 2026 – November 1, 2026, 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. General Election E

The Justice Department is taking a closer look at admissions at UCLA Law School. The question is simple, even if the legal fight isn’t: Did race affect who got in? This is an investigation, not a guilty verdict. Nobody should be running victory laps or lighting torches in the comments section. UCLA will have a chance to respond, and investigators still have to sort facts from noise. What the Justice Department is looking at The investigation centers on claims that UCLA School

The University of Delaware students did the hard part. They got College Republicans and College Democrats to work together. In 2026 America, that deserves at least a plaque, possibly a small parade. According to Delaware LIVE and statements from student Republicans and the Katz campaign, the student groups tried to organize a U.S. Senate debate after the university’s traditional Delaware Debates program did not happen this cycle. Republican challenger Dr. Mike Katz accepted.

Parents showed up at school-board meetings. Some were angry. Some were loud. Some probably needed a timer, decaf, and a reminder that microphones are not therapy devices. Then the federal government got involved. Public meetings can get noisy without becoming federal cases. The DOJ report raises a real First Amendment problem. A newly released Justice Department report examined Attorney General Merrick Garland’s 2021 memorandum directing the FBI and federal prosecutors to res

A reported shift in voter registration has given Democrats a headache the size of a campaign bus. Recent voter-roll analysis found Democrats lost about 2.1 million registered voters, while Republicans gained about 2.4 million. For CNN, it's a revelation, and the New York Times has even highlighted the Democrats’ voter registration crisis: between 2020 and 2024, Democrats lost 2.1 million registered voters, while Republicans gained 2.4 million—a net swing of 4.5 million voters

The Delaware Republican Party has announced in-person election integrity volunteer training sessions ahead of the November 3 election. Each session is scheduled for 6 to 7 p.m. and will last about one hour. Training sessions are scheduled in all three counties. The sessions are for people who can volunteer and want to understand the role before Election Day. Training will take place in Sussex County, Kent County, and New Castle County. Date County Time Location Wednesday, Oct

The Dover’s version of “Affordability” has become the political word of the season. It shows up right before Election Day, wearing a fresh coat of paint and pretending it didn’t help start the house fire. Apparently, according to Democrats, everything will become cheaper—just as soon as we finish paying for all the policies that supposedly made everything expensive in the first place. Families feel affordability at the checkout line first. Rob Schmitt of Newsmax raised the r

Oil prices do not care who held the press conference. They do not vote. They do not clap. They move when supply tightens, refineries shut down, or war makes traders nervous. According to Dr. Steve Turley, America may be on the verge of a major energy breakthrough, thanks to newly identified resources and advances in extraction technology. If these developments deliver on their promise, they could help lower energy costs and strengthen America’s position as a global energy pow

A missing $90 Medicare-related payment is not pocket change on a fixed income. It is groceries, gas, prescriptions, or the sacred emergency pie fund. So yes, asking where it went is fair. First, a missing payment doesn't automatically mean Medicare coverage is being canceled. It also does not prove Medicare has fallen into a nationwide sinkhole. More often, the answer lives in the thrilling world of paperwork, timing, plan rules, and agency records. A missing payment deserves

The Supreme Court’s 2026–2027 term is packed with cases that could change how far government power reaches into daily life. The docket touches guns, schools, immigration, property, labor rules, elections, and parental rights. Major rulings from Washington can reshape rules nationwide. If you thought the political arguments were already loud enough, the Supreme Court is apparently here to remind everyone that the Constitution still gets a vote. Gun bans will test the Second Am

The Strait of Hormuz is only a narrow stretch of water, but it carries a huge share of the world’s seaborne oil trade. That’s why the UAE is investing heavily in a simple idea: if one door gets jammed, have another ready. Fujairah gives the UAE direct access to the Gulf of Oman. Fujairah is the key Fujairah sits on the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz. That location matters. Ships leaving Fujairah can head into the Arabian Sea without first passing through the strai

Gas prices have a way of making national politics feel very personal. You don’t need a policy memo to notice when filling up costs more than it did a few months ago. A recent broadcast featuring Congressman Tom Emmer centered on that everyday frustration, then widened the lens to energy policy, inflation, artificial intelligence, and jobs. The main argument was clear: federal decisions in Washington can show up in family budgets, especially at the pump. Gas prices turn policy

Two tax relief bills aimed at workers with long shifts and tip income have hit the same wall: support from sponsors and some backers, but not enough action to become law. In Delaware, Senate Bill 299 and the Tipped Worker Tax Relief Act of 2026 both targeted low- to moderate-income workers. One focused on overtime pay. The other focused on tips. Both promised a simple idea: let workers keep more of what they earn. Neither has moved far enough. Senate Bill 299 would have offer

Every time you ask an AI chatbot to write a Christmas letter, a computer somewhere starts sweating like it just heard “family group photo.” That somewhere is usually a data center, a big, plain building packed with servers, cooling gear, backup power, and enough cables to make spaghetti feel underdressed. Data centers are where the internet does its chores. In PragerU’s The Brief episode from September 18, 2026, Shabbos Kestenbaum talks with Joe Honan, CEO of Singularity Comp

Some posts hit a nerve because they don’t sound like a think tank memo. They sound like somebody at the kitchen table finally saying, “Wait a second, are we all seeing this?” That’s the feel of Arch Bonnema’s Oklahoma Facebook post. It’s blunt, political, and definitely not wrapped in bubble wrap. His basic point is simple: America didn’t start going sideways the minute Donald Trump walked into the White House. The problems were already cooking, like a crockpot nobody remembe

Finding the right government form can feel like being dropped into a grocery store where every aisle is labeled “miscellaneous.” President Donald Trump says America.gov is meant to fix that. On September 29, 2026, Trump unveiled the new site as a digital “front door” for people trying to deal with the federal government without bouncing between agency pages, phone menus, and mystery PDFs. America.gov is being pitched as one easier entry point for federal services. What Americ

A hospital can look the same from the outside after it’s bought. Same building. Same ER entrance. Same waiting room chairs. But behind the scenes, the money can change fast, and patients may feel it in staffing, wait times, bills, and care quality. Private equity and hospitals are getting more attention as investment firms buy more health care assets, including hospitals and physician practices. The basic idea is simple: buy an organization, make changes, and try to sell late

Apparently, election season can turn a front porch into a mini constitutional law class. One person is trying to talk about a candidate. The other is trying to eat dinner in peace. So can political canvassers ignore “No Soliciting” signs? Sometimes, yes, because political canvassing is usually treated differently from commercial solicitation. A door sign does not always settle the canvassing question. Soliciting and canvassing aren’t the same thing Commercial solicitation usu

Delaware electric bills are starting to feel like a subscription service nobody remembers signing up for. One month it is supply costs. Next month it is fees. Then comes the fine print, wearing sunglasses and pretending it's not a tax. Electric costs may look boring, but the bill is where the action is. The renewable mandate has a reality problem. Delaware’s Renewable Portfolio Standard, or RPS, requires utilities to get a set share of electricity from renewable sources. Righ
