War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Appropriately nice this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, with some enjoyable sunshine coupled with temps in the upper-80s, but well out of the hot zone. Also today out of an economic hot zone is our federal government — no shutdown at least for the next 90 days or so: ‘The stopgap measure, known…

Meanwhile back East in DC, Congress is in a one-legged, one-armed fight now as Republicans are working tooth-and-nail to use the country as a blunt-force weapon to retain power next year.…
In the sweep of shit, it appears the US could be approaching a deep fork in the road, or maybe the road itself ending, not only with the pandemic still way-circulating, but the entire US governmental apparatus shutting down come Friday if no debt-ceiling solution is reached — looks as if the Democrats are left…
Windy and a bit on the chilly side this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — after months of outrageous heat, a weather shift in a time of climate change. And of which, climate-change activist Greta Thunberg drilled the establishment in a speech today laced with sarcasm aimed at do-nothing people in power: Greta…
Another T-Rump book hit the InterWebs this Tuesday morning, and shock and awe, he’s still an asshole piece of shit. How many of these non-literary scandal sheets are coming — just last week was Bob Woodward’s saga and dozens came before that, all tell the gross, nasty story of the horridness of the T-Rump. In…
(Illustration: ‘In Jail,’ image via Michael Cohen from last May, and found here). One of the more pleasant aspects of any thought about the T-Rump is the possibility of his fat ass sitting in a jail/prison cell — although the reality of such a thing is historically remote, there’s still the wish. As long as…
As another healthcare measure in this seemingly endless virus conflict, the booster shot was just okayed last week as the next step of the fight in the trenches or in this case, jabs in the arm. Right now, those eligible are fully-vaxxed Pfizer recipients, 65 years old or older, 18 years old or older and…
Forest-fire skies this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — brown-stained air from the wildfires south of us in the Sequoia National Park, which keeps a lid on any clean sunshine. Reportedly, the fires (three total) are growing, but have stayed fairly-clear of the giant sequoia trees found in the park. Meanwhile, on the…
Quiet and near-still this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, and the hush can be felt on the InterWebs, too — a placidity before a storm sense, maybe. Hopefully not, but yet… Some tweets I came across in search of a news story to center this post, but really couldn’t put an old, bony…
Warm and brown-tinted overcast this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and summer clings to us like the horror of seeing T-Rump play golf. In my post earlier today on the maybe/seemingly dismal future for American democracy, the picture does look bleak, but a real bright spot I failed to mention with the T-Rump…
