Hot sunshine returned this Tuesday morning here in California’s Central Valley — after a few days of clouds/overcast skies and some lower temperatures, the heat of summer returns today as we’re forecast to hit triple digits later in the afternoon. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi showed her grit earlier when she arrived in Taiwan for a visit…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Intense, full baked-on hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 108 degrees just a while ago, and although it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow (forecast high of 102), it’s all heavy-air shit that requires AC living. Hot, too, the violence in America — and weird-ass gun shit in the LA area this…
Pleasant late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on a downswing of some hot-ass days last week and maybe the holiday weekend ahead will at least be nice, weather-wise. And less anxiety-wise, too. One fetching story today is a kind of follow-up to my post this morning on the tale of Cassidy Hutchinson,…
One of the more-interesting, on-topic features I spotted today concerns those ‘omnipresent‘ White House aides, of which Cassidy Hutchinson is currently way-prominent, most-especially even as a former one: Highlights from Zak’s must-read piece at The Washington Post this morning: Washington is run by aides, or at least it runs on the work of aides: the…
