War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley and to set the tone, one of my favorite songs done in an unplugged, acoustic form with sentiment — this version became a favorite of mine after an extended hospital stay/and surgery experience three years ago, and listened to it at least a couple of times a day…
this A major item, but lost in the endless shit-pile of all kinds of news stories — on some peripheral edge, I think maybe I’d seen a headline with the word, ‘chip,’ in it: Apparently, so bad: ‘The Biden administration is developing plans to quickly spend $52 billion to deal with semiconductor supply issues if…
Warm but not on the boil side this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — just regular summertime shit with temperatures simmering just under the century mark, with more of the same expected the next few days. Although weather continues to be a major news story, back east in DC the shit-hitting-the-Republican fan is…
Although the entire concept is crazy — an incentive to make you get a free, easy, near-painless injection that could save you or your family from a most-gruesome death — and these inducements have ranged from doughnuts, beer, hard-liquor, even lottery winnings, in an effort to get dumbass people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

In the hallowed-halls of Congress not much is accomplished nowadays, especially anything the majority of Americans support, or want done, so last week another step in the right direction for marijuana reform — except, of course, the cold, un-stoned hearts of Republicans: Details from NBC News last Thursday: The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act…

Once again the COVID virus strikes the asses of millions — a possible price sky-rocket for toiet paper. Maybe no shortage this time, just only the rich will be able to afford proper materials — opening a gap between the haves, and the have-nots. Or black-market shit paper: Shit-paper details from CNN this afternoon: “We’ve…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
Joe Biden’s speech last night to a joint session of Congress was a way-apparent success and a BFD — one of those orations that not only sits well in the mind, but had enough bite to float in the memory for awhile. Not only the image of two females behind him on the dias, but…
As Joe Biden gets ready to make his first speech to a joint session of Congress tonight, rolling with a theme of “America is on the move again,” there’s a bit of history, too: ‘He’ll deliver a speech more than a year into the pandemic with the smallest audience in recent memory and a backdrop…
