Breeding the Lies

Bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, another beautiful episode in a respite from a way-rainy season, a gorgeous weather sequence in place supposedly until Tuesday.

Overcast, though no rain as of yet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — howling, gusty winds earlier, but quiet right now. Update sort of on my post yesterday about T-Rump’s lying — CYA, as the asshole concocted a rant against truth Tuesday afternoon in Florida (via The Star): “These fact-checkers, they’ll check facts…
