Now we have a perception that a return to ‘normal’ (whatever that was/is) might be close at hand — even polls reflect such: Optimism is becoming the norm in…
A major mystery of the ages — maybe of all time — is how can anyone even like the T-Rump, much way-less support the piece of shit. I’ve gotten to where I don’t like to write about the orange turd anymore, other than in passing, due to five years of a vicious, malignant onslaught of…
As we work our way through this miserable age of political bullshit in the time of coronavirus, the focus on just how terrible and cruel are Republicans is obvious to anyone with walking-around sense.

Now that the American Rescue Plan has passed both Houses of Congress and heading for Joe Biden;s signature to combat the wide effects of the COVID pandemic, it’s way-time for passage of For the People Act H.R. 1, which will protect our democracy: This historic legislation responds to twin crises facing our country: the attack…
Less than two months after taking office, Joe Biden has popped a grand slam: Despite what Republicans are blubbering, this package will help take care of Americans — details via Vox about an hour ago: The American Rescue Plan, which Biden first unveiled in January, will deliver aid to millions of Americans and inject funds across…
Rain expected any time now this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, although showers were forecast to have arrived already, and the way this winter is going, rain-wise, it may not come at all.
