Now a day after the televised first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot, all the data is in and it appears the session last night was a media success. All the lines were marked and all boxes checked — T-Rump is guilty as shit of sedition, and a goodly chunk…
Hot and getting hotter near noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — heat dome it is with the current temps in the low 90s and a forecast for a high of 103-degrees by the afternoon. Summer spike surprise — not! Also hot this morning is the news cycle on the hearing last night by…
As the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol begins public hearings this evening, the stage is set for a Prime Time, documentary-style explanation of who and how and why of the coup attempt.

As Republicans stand steadfast on guns, the vast majority of Americans — 70-percent of citizens…
Sunshine and breezy this near-midday Monday here in California’s Central Valley — if the wind dies down, however, it will turn hotter-than-shit. The wind is a major cooling-effect factor. Also hotter than shit is this week’s live, public hearings of the House Select Committee on the Jan 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol last year…
Crazy, deadly times this Sunday evening in the American war zone of the nowadays: A round-up of sorts via Axios this afternoon: An outdoor high school graduation party in Summerton, South Carolina, ended in bloodshed after two cars pulled up to a house and before shots were fired. Eight people were hit, according to a…
(Illustration: ‘John Dean nears the end of reading his 245-page prepared statement before the Senate Watergate Committee in Washington, D.C., on June 25, 1973′ — image found here).
