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. Only 95-degrees right now, so it’s not that ‘bad.’ Backyard blogging again today — ‘backyard blogging‘ occurs when there’s a picture included…
Another near-lost most-ominous piece of particulars on the infestation of a “nightmare” — Dr. Anthony Fauci (CNN today): “Ebola was scary, but Ebola would never be easily transmitted,” Fauci said speaking at the BIO International Convention. “HIV, as important as it is, was drawn out and over an extended period of time,” added Fauci, who…
In the disarray in full display — from this afternoon’s Washington Post update on shit just happening so far this particular day was this real shitty note: ‘After video showed law enforcement in Minneapolis slashing the tires of protesters’ cars, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety acknowledged that State Patrol troopers at times “strategically deflated…
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…
Hot to say the least this Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — just turning 6 PM and it’s still 100-freaking-degrees, and apparently won’t really be tepid until well after dark. Tomorrow the same with a forecast high of 106. Then some cooling through the weekend. Summer, summer hitherto not here… And again today protests across…
Soft breezes and heavy-heat this late-afternoon Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, supposedly 94-degrees right now with nearly three hours of daylight left. Somewhere in the low-80s by dark– tomorrow starts a two-day hot flash: temperatures Wednesday and Thursday reportedly in triple-digits. Hot flashes weather, metaphorically speaking. Those light-yellow flowers top-left of the photo shown, I…
Overcast and mostly quiet this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Seemingly, with every day an acceleration of a shitty ride further into calamity. And today no exception: Hysteria over this is natural, but the T-Rump is only playing the only way he knows, with cruelty. This afternoon he staged a photo-op to showcase,…
