Sunshine and breezy this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — earlier, dog-walking at Little River Beach was also warm, too… House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this morning opened a mystery paradox, via Fortune: “Every single day, whether it’s obstruction, obstruction — obstruction of having people come to the table with facts, ignoring subpoenas,” Pelosi said…
Horrific project the T-Rump boys are developing with Iran — most-ludicrous and way-scariest analysis came from the dumb-shit lips of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, as per USAToday this afternoon: ‘Asked if he is worried about Bolton pushing for military action, Paul said: “I think that the president’s instincts are good on this and hopefully he’ll listen…
