War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another Monday in the life as the US continues to unwind itself from the coils of a crazed pandemic and four horrific years of the T-Rump madness where everything went to shit in a big bucket. One notable continuous wonder in this new Joe Biden age is Jen Psaki and the near-daily press briefings. Instead…
Anyone who does any driving — Before Times and the COVID pandemic, of course — can see our roadways, bridges and assorted, related structures are shot-to-shit and have been in crappy-dangerous condition for a long time. In fact, you have to go back 65 years to the last activity with our transportation/electrical grid complex and…
In the scope of human events, it becomes near-about impossible to understand how vile and shitty people are when they continually disclose that they’re even worse than how shitty you figured they were at the outset.

Two cops were injured, one fatally, and the suspect was shot dead — just WTF: As the situation is developing, some…
Warm-bordering-on-hot this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, with deep, yellow sunshine adding to the sense of heat — summer’s coming way-soon and it’s going to be long and hard. In the news, Republicans top the cycle again for being assholes and nasty-ass fuckers, emitting foul shit from leaning into The Big Lie to…
As the ‘normal‘ is made the new ‘abnormal‘ in this day-and-age, Joe Biden is taking the bull by the horns and moving this country in the right direction despite the over-stuffed spasms of Republicans, who are drowning in bile and ignorance without lifting a finger.
