War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Terrible bomb explosions outside Kabul airport this morning, a nasty incident to most-likely change the timbre of this whole Afghan ugly: Quick nutshell via CNN: Twelve members of the US military were killed and 15 more were injured in the attack at Kabul’s airport, Gen. Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie, head of the US Central Command, said…
Brown tint to the air this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and with it a most-definite scent of burnt wood in the small breeze wafting about in the trees — fire is for sure aflame somewhere off in the distance. There are no major blazes close by, but up north several big ones…
In the wake of shitty domestic American fanfare — COVID surges thanks to Republican hardcore hardheadedness — the sad, shame of Afghanistan continues to unfold badly, an image of a country shattering like glass when struck with a huge, craggy rock — 20 years and we end with a terrible tale of America abroad. Today…

Looking beyond the domestic shitstorms this Sunday afternoon of COVID Deltas surges and corresponding displays of cruel ignorance by Republicans, the horrible debacle of Afghanistan continues to get worse — unfortunately, however, a situation just like everything else. I always figured the Taliban would re-take…
Out-of-country experience this Tuesday morning, and a look at the Afghan disaster. As I posted earlier this month, when I started this blog in April 2007, war was the main topic, with conflict-clusterfucks raging in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the latter getting just about-all the attention. And now more than 14 years later, the US…
One of the horrendous aspects of the T-Rump is his cruel, revenge-minded mental being, and thus, provides a scary-as-shit scenario where he could gladly start a nuclear war — Nancy Pelosi is tring to circumvent such a tragedy: Excerpt from the above statement — via CNN: Preventing an Unhinged President From Using the Nuclear Codes:…
Yesterday the T-Rump bested hiself in his quest to be as loathsome as possible in a couple of moves — first by throwing a wrench into keeping the federal government running and according some relief from the COVID pandemic, and secondly, by pardoning a shitload of asshole criminals — 15 people in all, most just…
Cool and clear this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and my sense right now feels a bit like a way-dark comedy seething with measurable trepidation — an unhinged monster is calling the shots in some serious shit, especially with a part of that shit, a vast war machine. Domestically, the T-Rump has been…
(Illustration found here). Even as the US seems to be on the cusp of break-down, we’ve still got the war on terror going strong, especially in Afghanistan — from the Military Times this afternoon: Numerous U.S troops were killed Saturday during a firefight in Afghanistan, according to the New York Times. A military source, speaking…
Our life nowadays is geared toward a sense of apprehension and dread — can’t be helped. This terrifying era of the T-Rump is one of chaos and constant clutter of shit-kicking episodes of bat-shit crazy, both on a worldwide scale and in the local neighborhood. Research has now shown the culprit for this situation is,…
