War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Wonderful weather this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, in fact, probably as good-as-it-gets around these parts — temps in the low 70s, clear with plenty of sunshine, as seemingly autumn be here a few days early. Meanwhile, back to shitty — Republicans are becoming more-obvious in being cruel assholes: And way stupid —…
Legal shit pertaining to the T-Rump world is always a stall-ass clusterfuck of delays. This evening another setback in the Mar-a-Lago document affair — judge asshole again:: From the Lawfare blog this evening: Dearie has been in federal judicial service since 1986, when he was appointed by Ronald Reagan and served as chief judge from…
Another T-Rump White House tell-all book offers up the starling news the Orange Turd is a horrible, horrible human being and way-fucking mentally disturbed. Surprised? Of course not. Yet it’s still way-unbelievable that this mean, nasty, unhinged asshole was the most powerful man on earth for four years, and how we all dodged any number…
In the flash of time, there’s always room for pleading a case for literary sympathy — one more time a request to purchase my novel on Amazon. Self-published in March, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona” is a tale of what it’s like for a middle-aged man to tumble down Alice’s rabbit hole in real-time.…
Sunshine savored by a cool breeze this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, a welcomed turnabout from the awful summer heat, especially the blister from the last couple of weeks — temperatures right now in the mid-70s with maybe a high of 85 later on this afternoon. And of the weather influenced by climate…
Beyond whether or not the T-Rump will attend the funeral for Queen Elizabeth, the war in Ukraine is again nailing the top news story for the day — and a bonus is how the Ukrainian military played the Russkies like a cheap-suited fiddle in a way-low-brow chess match: In a quick-read essay this morning at…
Partly overcast with dollops of clouds mingled with sharp sunshine this late-afternoon Sunday in California’s Central Valley — first time in a decent-sized while it’s not unpleasant outside with temps now down in the 80s. Although the NWS shows heavy rain all around us, the middle of the valley will most-likely not see any wet…
(Illustration out front: ‘Twin Towers,’ by Preston Sandlin, and found here.) Another observance of one of America’s more recent, most-traumatic experiences — this morning marks the 21st anniversary of the first foreign attack on the US since Pearl Harbor. Although today’s solemn and sober reminders are expressed over much of the media, the major news stories and…
Humid-hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day in a few weeks we didn’t see triple-digit temperatures. California has been cooking and we’re now forecast for mild weather for a while. Odd environment in southern California tonight, going from a dry-bake to flooding is a matter of hours. Amid news…
Temps still in triple digits this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at 110 degrees right now, and still a couple of hours of daylight left, and with it maybe some cooling. Heat is normal in the times of the abnormal. In a news day shaded near-completely by all kinds of stories…
