Biden might do something about the migrant crisis if they went to his Delaware beach
Hitting the high sea-son
Before residents leave New York, tourists stop coming, all stores close, Broadway shuts, migrants take over and we turn into a parking lot, why not send these incomers to Delaware?
Biden’s beach? Where instead of helping us he’s sunning himself?
Let’s flood Delaware with migrants — and while you’re at it check Delaware in general.
More. New Robb Report reports NY’s richest town isn’t Snobaponack or Snubhampton.
It’s Flower Hill, which nobody knows.
Near Roslyn, it has the top dollar designation.
USA’s wealthiest? Little Orinda which nobody cares about either, but overlooks Oakland, nearby to San Fran’s great, rich homes, which also happen to overlook the homeless.
In the Hamptons. Rich jalopies will be celebrating Porsche’s 75th anniversary.
The deal’s Italian brunch. Olive oil mixing with motor oil on some lawn at some Bridgehampton share that’s probably for sale. Morgan Stanley, Remy Martin sponsors. Benefits Southampton Animal Shelter.
One annoyed local: “Took four hours, 45 minutes just to make a Beyoncé concert in Jersey.”
Hamptons traffic makes NYC’s crosstown look like the Sahara.
Also, it’s really hot weather — like Death Valley — around DC.
How about burning Attorney General dumdum Merrick Garland’s behind.
Liberals think the sweat’s worth it to protect progressives — even though best to be said about them is: May their tripe decrease.
Hollywood goes to the dogs
Humans act like animals in movies. Now animals are acting like humans in movies.
Jamie Foxx and Will Ferrell’s “Strays,” about a lost dog trying to find home, is wandering into theaters. R-rated, this pooch has a potty mouth.
Ferrell: “It’s revenge doggie style. Filthy — but sweet. Goal is to bite the owner’s thing off.” Lovely. Great for kids.
Bring Alpo.
Playtime ends
We lost Pee-wee Herman. I remember him telling me he’s going into “serious acting.”
He said: “I’ll be like De Niro.” Fun guy.
Staged stag parties, porno films, in ’91 actually stayed with Doris Duke, later proved he’s no peewee when he pleasured himself in a movie theater.
Arrested. Not once. Twice.
Heaven will have a good time with Pee-wee.
String things
More high life: Per Tokyo’s Mme.
Dewi Sukarno, widow of Indonesia’s first president: Sept. 9 Japanese violinist Ikuko Kawai will be in concert at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater accompanied by the Japanese and Western orchestra Hibiki.
Its poster now adorns Rose Theater’s outside wall.
Mme. Sukarno’s arriving with 30 reserved $150 seats. Her gala dinner afterward is another 180 — dollars not yen.
Spacey drivers
Congress is now examining UFO info because — as you’ve heard — a witness claimed the government’s concealing aircraft which crashed on their turf.
OK, but if it is so — and this is just my low-level opinion — that outer space pilot must be really dumb.
Traveling over 100,000 light years through a 10 million planet galaxy only to crash in Vegas?
And crap up a crapshoot?
Rumors: Washington’s stimulus package will strengthen the economy and create new restaurant jobs. Great. Put Hunter in charge of operating the cheese shredder.
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Governor Carney Announces Delaware’s General Obligation Bonds Again Earn Triple-A Ratings and Attract Excellent Pricing – State of Delaware News
WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor Carney on Tuesday announced that the State of Delaware has once again received the highest possible AAA/Aaa ratings from the nation’s top rating services.
The State of Delaware received competitive bids on Tuesday for its upcoming sale of $359 million of General Obligation Bonds. The State’s bonds carry the highest possible ratings assigned by the nation’s major rating services – Fitch, Moody’s, KBRA and S&P Global Ratings – contributing to excellent results for the State and Delaware’s taxpayers.
“Delawareans deserve a state government that responsibly manages taxpayer dollars,” said Governor John Carney. “I was proud to work with then-Governor Tom Carper in the 1990s when Delaware first achieved a triple-A rating from the major bond rating agencies. Over the last quarter century — through good times and bad — our General Assembly and Governors worked hard to sustain our commitment to economic growth and responsible financial stewardship. I’m confident this will remain a top priority for Delaware’s leaders.”
Ratings are assigned based on criteria that include the State’s financial performance and management, overall debt load, and approach to long-term issues ranging from financial obligations to economic development trends. The highest ratings, Aaa/AAA, are granted to states that are best managed and prepared to meet debt obligations during periods of recession or fiscal stress. The higher a state’s credit rating, the lower its cost to repay bonds.
“Bond buyers continue to show a strong appetite for investing in Delaware. Despite a significantly higher interest rate environment today than just a couple years ago, today’s bids were very competitive,” said Secretary of Finance Rick Geisenberger. “The State’s total interest costs on its new bonds is 3.51%. That’s an increase of about 40 basis points versus last year’s bonds, consistent with Federal Reserve Policy moves over the last year. State taxpayers also realized $6.1 million in savings by refinancing $77 million of existing debt.”
All three rating reports related to the upcoming sale noted the importance of the State’s responsible budget practices and debt management practices. Fitch stressed the “proactive management and institutionalized protections designed to ensure surplus operations.” S&P’s report commented, “the State limits tax-supported debt…and adheres to clearly defined affordability parameters and rapid amortization.” Moody’s focused their comments on “strong limits on appropriations … while allocating surplus funds to non-recurring projects.” All agencies continue to regard the ratings as “stable” underpinned by the state’s strong reserves and continued economic growth.
“Delaware’s financial condition has never been stronger,” said Treasurer Colleen Davis. “The Delaware Treasury in collaboration with the Cash Management Policy Board continues to monitor strong liquidity and reserves. This lowers the State’s borrowing costs and increases interest income available for critical investments in schools, public safety, and our quality of life.”
Proceeds of the sale will fund a portion of the State’s capital program as well as refund previous bonds to realize debt service savings. Closing on the sale and receipt of bond proceeds is scheduled for May 15, 2024.
Rating reports can be found at the Delaware Department of Finance’s website.
