Now a day after the televised first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot, all the data is in and it appears the session last night was a media success. All the lines were marked and all boxes checked — T-Rump is guilty as shit of sedition, and a goodly chunk…
Hot and getting hotter near noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — heat dome it is with the current temps in the low 90s and a forecast for a high of 103-degrees by the afternoon. Summer spike surprise — not! Also hot this morning is the news cycle on the hearing last night by…
As the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol begins public hearings this evening, the stage is set for a Prime Time, documentary-style explanation of who and how and why of the coup attempt. I don’t think there’s Watergate excitement in the hearing, but it will be good to have…
Sunshine and breezy this near-midday Monday here in California’s Central Valley — if the wind dies down, however, it will turn hotter-than-shit. The wind is a major cooling-effect factor. Also hotter than shit is this week’s live, public hearings of the House Select Committee on the Jan 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol last year…

In context of this month’s 50th anniversary of the clumsily-botched burglary at DC’s Watergate — June 17, 1972 — I came across this interview this afternoon at…
In the massive letters of law broken by the T-Rump down through the ages, especially even consisting in his brief four-year tour of duty as POTUS, breaking laws, up-ending ethics, and generally being a complete asshole to everything and everybody, this Friday morning, another close-to-crime story cranks into the cycle. Drifter grifter all day long:…
(Image by illustrator Randall Enos, and found here). Sign of life, maybe? Merrick Garland has been acting quiet the last year on any kind of action on the T-Rump criminal works, and many had figured he’d been napping this whole time. Even despite this in March: ‘On his first anniversary as attorney general, Merrick Garland…
Breezy and chilly this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re forecast for some cool weather for the next few days, maybe take the sting out of the approaching summer heat. Among the various news items today were reports of the T-Rump’s rally last night in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in support of his desired Senate…
Overcast with occasional sunshine this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — earlier this morning looked like we faced another hot, sweltering day, but instead, later on, smoggy-looking/Tule fog-like clouds covered the sun, creating a relatively cool afternoon. A nice respite in the oncoming swelter of summer. Meanwhile, among the news items piling up…
Bright with a brisk wind this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly the first day on a run of a-many sunshine-filled days ahead along with increasing temperatures as summer looms like a swollen and dry lymph node. Non-relative humor and insanity work best sometimes when it just gets too crazy to be…
