War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
We’re on the outer edge, looking in. Funny, yet not at all — from The Onion (h/t Miss Cellania): PHOENIX—Following this week’s landmark Supreme Court ruling granting presidents broad immunity against criminal prosecution for official acts, Donald Trump’s campaign released an ad Wednesday that consists solely of a montage of people he will have killed…
Hot sunshine with just a whisper of a faint breeze just short of the noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — we’re still rocking along with a prolonged heat event (now a couple of weeks old) expected to last until this coming weekend. Although cooler today — 109 degrees vs yesterday’s 111 — the…
Just short of the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another hot one again as we hurdle into the weekend with our county’s future at stake on a day-by-day basis. The view from our political/media system is freaking f*cked. Despite ongoing contrary notion, The New York Times this morning tapped it out…
Awaiting the sound of fireworks this late-afternoon Thursday, July 4th, Independence Day, here in California’s Central Valley — explosions in stifling heat are wondrous. We’re sitting at 105 degrees right now with darkness and the fireworks still a couple/three hours away. In the wake of the SCOTUS immunity decision and subsequent shitstorm this week, and…
The Joe Biden old/unable-to-serve drama continues without fail. Joe has to go — or so say a shitload of media types and supposedly Democrat-party heavies (except for lefty blogs who refer to chilling out and letting Joe go forth) and none with sense. In this case, I think Joe should continue the run, there’s still…
Blistering hot just short of the noon-hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and has been the whine for days, we’re in the middle of a heat-domed boil burbling across not only my state but scalding the entire US southwest — records will fall (you can count on it) the next week or so. The…
(A somewhat-sweltering respite from the asshole SCOTUS bullshit from earlier today, which in turn, caused regurgitating opinions/viewpoints to fully-fester throughout the InterWebs this afternoon, all seemingly saddled with the whine-cry of ‘we be fucked…‘) Hot, heavy air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — a summer crush of excessive heat even worse than…
In the sharp shape of modern American life, there’s always room for a real-good, high-pitched scream, and this morning is an example. Our SCOTUS just shit our country’s mess kit. Via The Washington Post: The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts…
Across the news cycle this Sunday afternoon is still the debate with supposedly everybody and his brother calling for Joe Biden to quit, throw in the towel, and walk away. Despite the obvious. I want to scream. Nancy Pelosi tagged the flipped reality: ‘“How can you have a legitimate debate when somebody is totally lying?…
In a degression in these hardscrabble times, we present a musical respite from the horrors of modern life with some tunes, hopefully, which will perk the summer heat level and make it livable. Here just short of the noon hour we’re already close to triple digits and will enter a hellscape weather pattern the next…
