War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
We’re in an era of ‘you can’t make this shit up,’ shit: Background via the Guardian‘s live blog this morning: The Trump Death Clock, the real-time tracker that seeks to put a figure on the number of Americans who have died needlessly during the pandemic as a result of White House inaction, has just gone…
The entire T-Rump operation is one of lying and double-blabber (Raw Story): Story at Mediaite this evening: During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was confronted over comments she made weeks ago downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to the United States. In late February, McEnany spoke with Trish Regan — a…
Early-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, and the heat is already heating. A breeze does keep it down a bit, but only so much can be done. In the backyard again, and still nice in the shade — getting warm, though. (External Station — even mystic bamboo in the faded background). One conclusive result…
Breezy and cloudy this late-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley. In truth, I had to check my laptop’s date/time thingie to make sure it was indeed Wednesday — it most-easily could have been a Thursday, not much so a Tuesday, for some reason. Our mental-strangling, encompassing coronavirus epic continues. On the local front, as of…
Another day of pestilence of the health-related kind, fueled by America’s insane predicament in the throes of a complete lunatic who is making our virus-infested Twilight Zone episode even more deadlier. The T-Rump is a danger to the planet, get him the fuck out of there. Hurdle we face, however, is reflected buried at the…
Yesterday, the T-Rump descended even further than can be decently imagined down that escalator of cruel-insanity by advising us Americans to inject Lysol/detergent into our veins to combat COVID-19. A totally-fucked spectacle at his briefing/rally. Most-likely the major news story today. I missed the real-time event, even in delayed clips via Twitter, and didn’t catch…
A warm, though, breezy Tuesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, a beautiful, sunny, content-looking postcard of all-is-well and not a freaking thing out of place — Not! Appearances can really be dangerously deceiving. Yesterday, some bad local coronavirus news — Merced County is up to 10 coronavirus cases, one from community spread, the others…
Little wonder we’re having trouble getting a handle on COVID-19 here in the US, bullshit is sinking the playing field, not leveling it (h/t BJ): Yet the assholes at Fox News shifted their views without missing a beat — this illogical spin-around seen in raw-time: In a world gone crazy and the search for reality…
While we seem to be going through an old Twilight Zone episode, or an updated Steven Soderbergh movie, the heartfelt sense really enabled an ancient clip off the classic “Scrubs” TV show from 2006 — life imitating gag-infested art. Who’d figured: Details via the Washington Post yesterday: As the dire consequences of the coronavirus outbreak…
A true explanation on the rage of the coronavirus (h/t tengrain): Really nothing else to be said… (Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here).
