(Illustration: ‘A Mild Case of Cognitive Dissonance,’ ink on canvas, by Wilf Tilley, and found here). As early-evening Thursday fashions itself here in California’s Central Valley, the country is becoming more and more a problem bin for weird-ass troubles — the lastest is how a huge chunk of Americans are suffering from perceptions of contradictory…
Tweet for the twitter birds of absolute shit — Republicans are the worse with MoscowMitch slime leader: Nutshell via The Daily Beast late this morning: If only politicians thought before they talked. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) seemingly implied on Wednesday that Black Americans are not true Americans. Following a failed vote on Democrats’ John Lewis…
Early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, an easy end to another great-looking day with plenty of sunshine and warmish temperatures — probably the best it ever gets around here. And good news, too, and a possible side companion to my post this morning on T-Rump’s first possible steps to a jail cell (we can…
As we continue to watch the prosecution of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists/rioters the entire scenario is noted for the absence of anyone above the Capitol-building invaders — no T-Rump conspiracy assholes. Although the recent indictments of criminal Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy was a big legal leap in bringing the entire coup attempt by the…
America is at a crossroad/fork-in-the-road, yet we try and maintain a sense of normal in the chaos: Comfortable and nice this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another sunshine sparkled day without even a slight hint of that shitty tule fog.

Tired of the same old shit — time for a quick Monday evening serenade-musical respite of just listening for a few minutes to something other than the grinding noise clanking off this scary, freakish life we’re experiencing right now. A kind of clamor left unattended can swiftly become heart-felt deafening. And a quiet moment, too,…
Just turning dark this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, a soft ending to a gorgeous day of sunshine and warm temperatures — we’re whiplashing daily between deep fog and clear skies, but at least there’s a break from the thick gray every other day or so. Weathering the weather is still a thingie.…
On top of all the other shit we got going, today/yesterday a big-ass volcano/earthquake: (Illustration found here). The event a peculiar one with a massive volcano eruption enabling a 5.8 earthquake, a double-bang situation that sent literal shock waves across the Pacific Ocean — via NPR late this afternoon: A massive underwater volcano that erupted…
Amnesia is embedded deep within the Republican brand — cowering out of sight now a mainstay of the GOP operational apparatus as the public gets a whiff of their real agenda of chaos, which in turn, strongly indicates an inability to govern. And the memory loss carries a nasty, chickenshit T-Rump stink: Nutshell via BusinessInsider…
Heavy-gray tule fog this near-mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — thickest I think of the season so far and chilled wet, too, a contrast from the sunshine the last few days. Just a reminder of the time. Tweet of the moment: Especially with the vastness of the T-Rump’s blighted image as head of…
