Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

Twenty-four days after the California primary election, the registrars of voters for San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties have certified their results. One of the counties reached 38.35% of registered voters showing up to vote. We have to get that many Democrats out to vote in November

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

When you were a kid, did you live in a house with just one bathroom and one phone mounted on the wall? A TV with just 4 channels and bunny ears? A real encyclopedia set, and no internet. You learned to figure it out yourself.

Who should run for governor of California? Well, Shit! We need all but 2 Dems to drop out now, or one of the Republicans will win. Will this happen? Not likely. What to do? All of you in other parts of the world, please share some of your wisdom. Believe it that we will listen.

Smogsteve @smogsteve.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

We, 9 neighbors living in the California desert, watched gubernatorial candidates speak. We said the same thing at the end. Not one of these folks wants to help us. Katy Porter is our favorite among the Dems here tonight. She can not win. The 4 Republicans here all liked our Sheriff. He cannot win.

Smogsteve @smogsteve.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Watching the California Governor's debate now, I wonder why we have 7 people still running. My Sheriff and the other Republicans are saying that climate change can not be controlled by the state. WTAF? Are they so tone deaf?

Smogsteve @smogsteve.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Now my neighbors want to watch the CA Governors debate. They will have to listen to the words of long-dead Mississippi songwriters until then. And maybe have a bit of dinner.

Apparently the power went out in the neighborhood a short time ago. Neighbors are showing up here so they can stay cool and use my internet. Yeah, solar power only works in daylight. Add in wind generators and I can stay energized all the time. Come on over. I won't preach too much.

I was feeling a bit depressed today. Fortunately, I have a free cure for myself. I just brought out my ancient Dobro guitar. It only makes bright sound. It makes me remember songs that show me the way forward toward remembering the pain and suffering of my betters, those who were Freedom riders.

Yes, I have gone down to the bottom. Go Comics. com This is the stuff I need tonight. Well, these and playing some delta blues. None of that Chicago shit tonight.

Then Leslie sits down at her Bösendorfer and plays some Mozart, her favorite, just to shut out my guitar. It is worth it to listen to the extended bass.

The more I read here on Bluesky, the more upset and pissed off I become. This is not why I joined 3 years ago. Where are the cats and dogs? Where are the photos of your local and international travels? I know we live in the shittiest timeline of my 80+ year life, but come on, folks. Here are pups.

This morning. I noticed the prices at several gas stations are now over $6.00 a gallon. Then I noticed that almost every car was speeding and accelerating hard at every stoplight. What is wrong with this picture? Complain about gas prices yet, but overuse gas. Think folks. Slow and steady is the way

Local ABC 7 tv is saying that ICE will be in charge of security at the World Cup in Los Angeles next month. WTAF? If you are thinking of coming to this, the former USA, for these great games. All I can recommend is that you stay the fuck away for your safety. These assholes will incarcerate you.

Before I lay my head down to sleep tonight I am playing along with a Robert Johnson vinyl from 1932. 78 RPM is different today. I truly have the blues in my soul.

Tonight, it is not just the whisky talking. There is also great music from so long ago. The Blues forever.

If you are vegan or vegetarian, stop reading now. My wife and I just finished Mother's Day dinner. We each had a rib-eye with a baked potato and fresh corn on the cob. Our first summer dinner this year. We ate out by the pool with the ravens circling above us. Great Cal wine. A good evening.

2/ We are alive because we used a gun that the war crimes panel said was too violent. All of us thanked him when we got home. Give me shelter. We are here playing blues because we disobeyed our leaders. People use your brains. Listen to your feelings. Give Me Shelter!

Smogsteve @smogsteve.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

The other 5 Marines playing tonight, remember Vietnam. We remember my father sending us 6 Ithaca shotguns to save our lives. When the bad guys were only 5 meters away. He saved our lives. I was prosecuted for a war crime because of this. I went on to become a better leader. Those guys are alive now.

Smogsteve @smogsteve.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

This band has at this point 3 PHD's. Four Master's degrees, and one God Damn Professor. Not bad for a bunch of old Marines and their friends. Palm Springs brings the blues to you. The Blues bind us all together.

Word about the skunk travels fast. We now have in addition to the 6 of our band, 2 sax players, a banjo, 3 ladies singing, and some 30+ neighbors. I would love to have this many folks at a bar. Happy Mothers day to all of you out there. Mama skunk, Jasmine, is happy.

My MAGA T neighbor heard about the skunk. He came into the backyard to see the kit. I was playing blues for that skunk. He pulled out his mouth harp. I forgot he plays the blues. We are having a great time. Do not give up on anyone or anything. We are moving inside. It is 106°F, so it's kind of hot.

Smogsteve @smogsteve.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

the young skunk ate some food and drank some water. I pet and scratched him, as I did with his mother when she was young. I think all his scent glands were cleaned in the washer.

Here is the little critter eating some high protein cat food. He has two siblings and his mother. I found them sleeping in the garage. Stay outside kid. It is safer.
