By this rime tomorrow, we’ll be in a brand-new timeframe, hopefully similar like before-timeframe, like Before Times, like before the T-Rump shit on the country. If only we could erase memory (Republicans will indeed practice amnesia about the T-Rump timeframe), but we will be stained in the brain for years to come. Despite three years…
Beyond the insurrectional riot at the nation’s Capitol last Wednesday, a major concern is the pandemic and the mass of maskless assholes both coming from outside the building, but also from Republican Congresscritters who in spiteful, arrogant disclaimers refused to cover their nasty faces. And the result, an innocent victim: These people do not give…
Consequences off the terrible T-Rump-induced rumble/riot yesterday at/in the nation’s Capitol carries not only grave democracy overtones, but also dire medical issues, like for instance, a surging-ass pandemic that’s spread by breathing on one another.

One showcase aspect of this scenario is the T-Rump-Wall and the deaths from the…
Fading sunshine outside this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, the end of 2020 now just a few hours away. In the backyard, all quiet (Merced city traffic in the distance, the exception) but for a gaggle of birds chirping madly away hidden behind a small thicket of bamboo — nice. Meanwhile, maybe we’re…
Finally at last, the final day of the shittiest year in history, or at least in my lifetime — I’ve spent now more than 72 years here on this planet and nothing compares to 2020 for the sheer volume of shitty shit. Topping that list, or course, is the horror of the COVID-19 pandemic, which…
As this way-horrible time-frame of 2020 grinds down to mere hours, the pandemic will soon touch upon a full year of rampage in the US (The New England Journal of Medicine): On January 19, 2020, a 35-year-old man presented to an urgent care clinic in Snohomish County, Washington, with a 4-day history of cough and…
