(Illustration: ‘The Order of Chaos,’ by Osnat Tzadok, and found here). Here we are this early-evening Wednesday in California’s Central Valley, while across the country there’s shit popping like stones on pond water. As we’re still neck-deep in a dangerous pandemic, the disorder in attempts at order is way-inflamed by idiots. Congress is half full…
As Congressional hearings were held today on the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building — a joint investigation by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Senate Rules and Administration Committee — we really didn’t learn anything new, except the way-known fact it was a T-Rump incited clusterfuck to continue the…
Another reality check on the horrors inflicted by the T-Rump in the age of a pandemic — Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said the day after Biden took office it’s “somewhat liberating” to finally “let the science speak,” was also apparently continually concerned about visiting T-Rump’s disease-riddled White House: Fauci had every sensible reason to be…
House impeachment prosecutors concluded their presentation today in T-Rump’s Senate impeachment trial, and now it’s up to Republicans to grow a spine and convict the asshole of inciting an insurrection — however, most-likely not be the case. Reality won’t prevail and the necessary 17 GOPers needed won’t be there because conscience. Now the show is…
(Illustration: ‘Genocide No. 1‘ (1971), by Daphne Odjig, found here). On the eve of T-Rump’s impeachment trial in the Senate, it’s obvious his time in office was 100-percent inhumane, though, inciting an insurrection only second in a gargantuan list of horrible shit. most-hideous the one he’ll probably never have to face any accountability — the…
America is at a nasty precipice, and whether we go over and down, or turn and walk smartly to the nearest bridge-crossing will be known in the next few days, if not sooner. We’re not only caught up in the surge of an actual catastrophic pandemic, but also face an infectious virus oozing through the…
A major concern for this country in the immediate-short future is the cuckoo-for-Cocoa Puffs stain found in public discourse, coming full-bore from Republican mouths and anuses (correct spelling) with very little stop-gap time between lies, conspiracy theories, threats of violence, and other assorted idiotic bullshit that nearly inundates news cycles. And no shut-down or even…
Circumstances so far in 2021 appear to make this less-than-a-month year a ratcheting-up squel to 2020, though, with a way-different hand at the national helm there’s some sure footing at least for a while. Still, we’re in the deep-midst of a worldwide virus clusterfuck, plus a democracy showdown in the US, with now an overall…
No rain this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley — a short respite until this weekend when another wave of wet comes sloushing through our airwaves. One bright arc of sunshine, though, is a majority of Americans dig what Joe Biden is doing in the week-and-a-couple-of-days he’s been in office. Looks we’re getting out…
One scary COVID-19 phenomenon is whenever there’s a perceived downward curve on infections/hospitalizations/deaths our whole shit melts away and we breathe a sigh of relief, reopen closed societies and try to regain a sense of normalcy, but seemingly always too soon. Although the numbers have dropped, they’re still shitty (John Hopkins University): As of this…
