A baffling situation to me when a large…
Just weeks following his election in 2008, President Obama did a couple of things that both pissed me off and let me down — one was naming Tim Geithner as treasury secretary (and later Larry Summers as head of the National Economic Council), idiot assholes that shit on any ‘change‘ anyone could ever believe in…
Joe Biden continues, even connecting with the hard-to-handle youngsters: Good vibes from young people it seems, despite some heavy shit going down — notable snips from the Harvard Youth Poll released today: In the fall of 2017, only 31-percent of young Americans said they were hopeful about the future of America; 67-percent were fearful.

Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…
Although I received my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, Merced County where I reside is still in California’s worse purple tier category as apparently the rest of the state seems to be finally getting out from under the coronavirus blanket — per the Merced Sun-Star last Tuesday: Merced County has lagged behind others in…
