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…
Beyond the miserable heat, a depressing aspect of the nowadays is the most-likelihood of T-Rump and the large cesspool of his cronies could skate on crimes of insurrection/riot/coup after losing the 2020 election. The vacumn of Merrick Garland’s energy sucks up into an empty paper bag. One note of a decent vibe comes from Georgia…
Hot, heavy air this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — although reportedly we didn’t top 100 again today, the sheer feel of the day created some hot-ass ambiance to the out-of-doors. Temperatures are sometimes not the only discomfort indicator — summer! In an afternoon of doomscrolling the InterWebs for news about everything, and…
One of the big questions nowadays in American politics is not really whether the T-Rump will run again in 2024, but when will he announce — odds are soon. Via The Washington Post this morning: ‘The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for…
A pleasant late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, sunshine, but without the intense heat. Forecasts for today were wrong, which does happen on occasion. In sending the T-Rump to jail, a new poll has found a lot of Americans know he’s guilty of criminal acts, leading maybe to sedition. Democracy at stake: Details via…
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
A most-major concern for America today is the insanity of the Republican Party. As Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post put it yesterday: The mainstream media insist on treating the Republican Party as a normal party, routinely declining to press them on their party’s embrace of violence, lies and conspiracy theories. President Biden only gingerly…
Across the wide pond this Thursday morning a musical interlude in the sound of a dipshit leaving. Boris Johnson resigned as UK prime minister, but in a slow-stepped process that will supposedly not take place for months — Johnson will stay on until a successor is named — and he’s an idiot with an idiot’s…
In the ever-continuing slow-walking display of justice, the announcement today of another T-Rump lawyer to testify before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup just might be the bridge to getting an indictment against the T-Rump, and then maybe a jail cell for the asshole. One knows hope springs eternal — except with Merrick…
