War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Foggy and chilly on this early-evening Monday on California’s north cast — a much different situation here than in some parts of the state. Wildfires are screaming up and down California — two big blazes are scorching the Southland — celebrities, movies stars lost bigly in Malibu — and meanwhile up north in Butte County…
End of the work week, yet the work never seems to find an end. Despite it all, apparently there was indeed a big-blue wave on Tuesday — I guess the horror of the T-Rump sours feeling any kind of a sweet victory, even a fairly-big one, like winning back the House — in retrospect, a…
Two days later doth display our misplaced American system (via the Guardian this morning): Among the most eye-catching was a statistic showing Democrats led Republicans by more than 12 million votes in Senate races, and yet still suffered losses on the night and failed to win a majority of seats in the chamber. … “The rise…
In the aftermath of a day after, the shit’s still with us — despite gains made in the election, the T-Rump continues. Charles P. Pierce at Esquire this afternoon on news of the AG turnabout: At the very least, this is the most serious threat that the Mueller investigation has faced since it was launched. In…
As the dark falls here on California’s North Coast, there’s still three hours til polls close — yet back east already, voting has stopped in some places, as the end result starts to gin up. I voted this morning at Arcata City Hall, and with no waiting at that moment, inked-in my ballot selections and…
Way-appropriate emotional point on this eve of the big-bang Ballot Day:: Just the gut feeling — you want to feel optimistic, you want to lean-into the wondrous polls calling for a Blue Wave, but the anguish-horror of failure — if Republicans keep the House, and Senate, or even if the midterm is a return to…
Overcast on a slightly-gray Sunday evening here on California’s north coast — during the day, however, amidst breaks in cloud-cover, there’d be sparks of sunshine in shades from bright to faded-yellow. (Returning depressingly-too-quickly back to the aforementioned gray). And two days prior to the mother of all ballot boxes. Since the T-Rump was “elected with…
Via Slate this afternoon: CNN refused to take criticism from the president’s son. Donald Trump Jr. slammed the news network Saturday, claiming in a tweet that it had refused to run a racist immigration-related ad that had been sponsored by Donald J. Trump for President. “CNN refused to run this ad… I guess they only…
Sunny with a cool, brisk breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — on the countdown toward Tuesday. Trump is averaging — AVERAGING — 30 false or misleading claims a day in the last seven weeks. And, per the Fact Checker, he often of late soars far above that average. As one example: On…
Here this Thursday evening on California’s north coast, some light fog, blended with faded-yellow sunshine, and a pretty-nice day. NWS says ‘Mostly/Partly Cloudy’ the next couple of days, while WunderBlog forecasts mostly cloudy tomorrow and Saturday with rain coming maybe Sunday. Two sides of near-view…and we’ll see. My first blog since March 1 — shit…
