The reporter’s reality is to the people: Journalists are supposed to work really for the truth and present…
Our nation can rest easier now that Joe Biden held his first press conference this afternoon, and from all indications he aced his initial session with reporters — one outstanding item missing, however, was inquiries on the pandemic, which most-likely suggested the fight against it was going smoothly (as much as anything that’s killed a…
As we work our way through this miserable age of political bullshit in the time of coronavirus, the focus on just how terrible and cruel are Republicans is obvious to anyone with walking-around sense.

Finally, this monrning after way-too-much bullshit: Details via The Washington Post just a bit ago: The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan on Saturday, as Democrats muscled through a marathon debate — and overcame dissent from moderates within their own ranks — to move one step closer to delivering President Biden his first…
