Hot and still this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly 101-degrees right now and the mid-summer malaise has sunk in with a heavy atmosphere/ambiance environment. The air clings like dry sweat (if such a thing). Seemingly, dry mouth is the DC mode right now as Democrats have played Republicans in Congress, which…
Once again a blowback to asshole Republicans on Capitol Hill and their nasty, cruel approach to everything was on display this morning — in the shadow of the Manchin/Schumer agreement from yesterday, Senate GOPers retaliated and voted against much-needed health care for America’s military veterans, acting the spoiled-baby bitch. Just to show that petty, asshole…
Topping off the news cycle this Wednesday seems to be the Joe Manchin/Chuck Schumer agreement in the Senate for a big, breakthrough bill for climate and health care — and if it does make it past Republicans and signed into law, it would indeed be a BFD. The Manchin reversal shocker knocked T-Rump’s ramped-up DOJ…
Nestled amongst the news cycle items today were a couple of Josh Hawley recaps that maybe felt relevant to the issue of the asshole being a chickenshit. Despite Hawley acting the pure douchebag this past weekend at the fully-unhinged Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, crying, ‘“I’m not going to apologize, I’m not going to…
Heat is increasing near noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we might hit triple-digits later this afternoon, but the air right now seems to be getting hotter by the hour. However, just another day in a long string of such days where temperatures have remained in the 100-plus range and the ambiance is…
Still hot without much air movement close to noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — legal summertime, so there’s no crime. Just sweat and a longing for soft rain in a patching drought. Also at the same time there’s a yearning for justice in that continuing seemingly disregard in accountability for the mass of…
A quick skid off the rails this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — hot again, so what’s new. Maybe a bit off the beaten path for a couple of items, both a look at self-serving assholes, both creepy, both dangerous. First, a robot displays side effects of humanoid-like devices keeping the machine’s idea…
Another end to another workweek this Friday early evening and the start to a couple of days to reboot. A post on reflection about the TV audience for those Jan. 6 hearings — the last in the original series last night, supposedly more hearings most likely set for September as more evidence and testimony fill…
We’re warming up this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another hot day already, yet it’s become normal for the time. Later this afternoon, triple-digit temps are supposedly scheduled, but since this has been a long hot streak, we’ve used to the heavy air blister, and know to stay inside. If we had…
Summer continues this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. — hot but soothed by a gentle breeze, making it not really all that unpleasant in the shade. As we await the start of the Jan. 6 hearing this evening, I doomscrolled the InterWebs and amidst the shit-stories from all over, I did encounter some…
