Oft quoted nowadays — though, a good description of the T-Rump world, or just about any random Republican operating anywhere — the somber warning of Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi from long, long ago, and far, far away: ‘“Mos Eisley spaceport: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We…
(Illustration: Donald Trump, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong, found here). As anticipated today, a couple of legal droppings on News Dump Friday. The first was for the T-Rump’s former trickster-lawyer, Michael Cohen, a pair of sentencing memos — and the second, a filing against the T-Rump’s way-back campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. Apparently, a…
Once again, Argentina doesn’t cry: Something moronic and oafish comes our way, represents us on a literal world stage: After pausing for a couple photos, Trump is seen on video shaking Macri’s hand and then walking off stage. Macri tries to beckon him back, to no avail, and an aide is seen pursuing the confused…
Today a display of extreme-criminal sanctimoniousness of the T-Rump — per Think Progress Outside of the White House on Tuesday, Trump said “Ivanka did some emails” before mentioning former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton five times in a span of roughly 40 seconds. … Trump said he looked at the reports regarding his daughter’s illegal…
Foggy and growing darkly-gray this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, cool as opposed to great heat found a couple of miles inland.

Bright sunshine this near-noon Thursday melding with only a wisp of wind, producing what could be called a ‘heat wave‘ for here on California’s north coast. However, inland just a short space and an actual ‘heat wave’ with temperatures in the triple digits — we’re reportedly at 72-degress right now. Although now retired nearly three years,…
Bright and windy this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast, a typical weather episode this time of year — overcast-moist and chilly until late morning, then followed by another gorgeous afternoon, though, a bit blustery.. I’d like to figure, maybe this be ‘early summer‘ (has the earmarks), but only time will forecast the future. The…
Warm and sunny this early evening Tuesday on California’s north coast — we continue our good-weather phase, with some high temperatures forecast for the end of this week. I like it… Beyond the web of horror-shit on the T-Rump, just for this particular day, this from James Warren at Vanity Fair this afternoon scoops the nightmare…
Sunshine and wind this early-evening Friday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we’re heading into a warm spell for the next couple of weeks, but here right along the shoreline, ambiance of heat lies in the wind. Still, way-good… Sucking, though, is the T-Rump — could-be-maybe the most shameful burst of shit yet from the…
Another episode of bright, glaring sunshine this late-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, though, any attempt at warmth is filtered via a chilly ocean breeze — find a wind-block, like a wood fence or whatever, and the environment becomes way-nice.
