An open-ugly side of hiring nasty, dip-shits: A few details via The Hill this afternoon: “The president makes hiring decisions based on the fact that he likes to have countervailing viewpoints,” McEnany told reporters during a press briefing. McEnany said she spoke to Trump specifically about his decision to hire John Bolton, his former national…
Hot and breezy this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although 94-degrees right now, reportedly the last ‘cool‘ day for awhile as starting tomorrow triple digits for the next seven to 10 days — summer’s way-here. One more time, backyard blogging in progress and even in the shade it’s warm — but not…
Most-excellent view of positions in the chain and empathy (great h/t Miss Cellania): A little together in diversity as shown by this study on integration in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2002 (Washington Post this morning): ‘When the share of minorities grew in schools by 10 percentage points during the formative elementary and middle-school years, white…
Hot this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, a few tiny gusts of much-appreciated wind flows occasionally through allowing it to be manageable, but most-definitely on the ‘right‘ or ‘left of comfortable.

As the US continues down a perilous path with a unrelenting pandemic on one side, a fevered civil unrest on the other, the T-Rump accelerates his own shit-head ignorance without an ounce of empathy. This morning a press conference that wasn’t really a ‘press’ conference at all, just another stunt to bolster the tiny brain…
Interesting in the context of civil unrest, the military side of the T-Rump bluster has turned the coin: Since the T-Rump’s ‘dominate’ rant, his blubbering about instigating the Insurrection Act, and subsequent walk to the church Monday evening the shit has hit the military fan. Not only are protesters protesting the T-Rump White House, but…
Just short of the Thursday noon hour here in California’s Central Valley with temperatures near 100-degrees already as we get set for another hot/hottest afternoon ahead. Not much breeze, either, which makes the heat feel even warmer despite being way-warm anyway. Notwithstanding the serial clusterfucks now swirling around us, the old stand-by/background-noise/cataclysm of climate change…
