In lieu of the Jan. 6 committee hearings starting tomorrow night, Jason Alexander has a way-good take on the entire scheme of things — and of the tweet of the moment: After the description of the whole freaky process of T-Rump and the insurrection, the best line: ‘“If there’s comedy in there it certainly doesn’t…
(Illustration found here). America might be entering a open-ended minority rule over the vast majority. The Republican party and right-winger voters are the minority, but the twist this November could change all that — a minority ruling the deep-set majority.

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.

Overcast and breezy this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine most of the day and warm, now getting towards evening, a bit cool and comfortable outside. Enjoying the weather before the summer hot-mess madness. And of madness in the now day-to-day antics of the entire, whole Republican party. Not only are GOPers…
A gleeful note in the news cycle this Friday morning — maybe the start of something good: Details/background via The Washington Post a short while ago: Navarro, who was a trade adviser to President Donald Trump, also revealed he received a grand jury subpoena as part of a related Justice Department probe in a lawsuit…
Hot even in the shade this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’ve reportedly started a climb this week to summer-like temps as the weather heats up in accordance with the coming days.
