War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Hot, heavy air this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — although reportedly we didn’t top 100 again today, the sheer feel of the day created some hot-ass ambiance to the out-of-doors. Temperatures are sometimes not the only discomfort indicator — summer! In an afternoon of doomscrolling the InterWebs for news about everything, and…
One of the big questions nowadays in American politics is not really whether the T-Rump will run again in 2024, but when will he announce — odds are soon. Via The Washington Post this morning: ‘The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for…
A pleasant late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, sunshine, but without the intense heat. Forecasts for today were wrong, which does happen on occasion. In sending the T-Rump to jail, a new poll has found a lot of Americans know he’s guilty of criminal acts, leading maybe to sedition. Democracy at stake: Details via…
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
Intense, full baked-on hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 108 degrees just a while ago, and although it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow (forecast high of 102), it’s all heavy-air shit that requires AC living. Hot, too, the violence in America — and weird-ass gun shit in the LA area this…
Odd how certain subjects flow in the news cycle — I did a shitload of posts on Ukraine for a long while, then SCOTUS popped America a few times upside the head of freedom (plus an influx of gun massacres and cruel, general-tom-ass-foolery of Republican politics), and Vlad Putin’s horror-war journey was pushed to a…
As half the year has glided by seemingly in a flash full of shit news and real-life weirdness, I need to escape the wiles and worries of the nowadays and drown myself in some ‘rain-prominent‘ music, tunes awash/heard in a near-zero precipitation zone. Here in California’s Central Valley — and probably the whole state, including…
In the sweaty Saturday news cycle, shit keeps flowing, though, on the weekends it can slow a bit. Guns and murder continue to play heavily on the wires — the first funerals today for the victims of the Highland Park massacre — and extend to faraway Japan where a homemade shotgun was used yesterday to…
(Illustration of Belgorod submarine, and found here.) Hot and maybe feels a bit humid, too, this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — but make no mistake about the weather, it’s getting more summer by the day. In the flush of the news shit today — and there have been plenty — I came…
A most-major concern for America today is the insanity of the Republican Party. As Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post put it yesterday: The mainstream media insist on treating the Republican Party as a normal party, routinely declining to press them on their party’s embrace of violence, lies and conspiracy theories. President Biden only gingerly…
