War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Circumstances so far in 2021 appear to make this less-than-a-month year a ratcheting-up squel to 2020, though, with a way-different hand at the national helm there’s some sure footing at least for a while. Still, we’re in the deep-midst of a worldwide virus clusterfuck, plus a democracy showdown in the US, with now an overall…
(Illustration by Victor Juhasz, and found here); In my post earlier with the Brian Williams ‘You had me at hello‘ video, I’d fogotten a precise analysis by Eric Boehlert on his Press Run dispatch from this morning on how the media is handling the current horrid escapades between Republicans and a bloated, vile, former president…
A deep reveal of the reality of our current GOP absurdity (h/t tengrain): Gross, and further still: Howver, not an ounce of any kind of romance — it’s all liars lying about lying. Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post this morning on the crazed GOP: When it comes to the former president specifically, PRRI reports,…
No rain this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley — a short respite until this weekend when another wave of wet comes sloushing through our airwaves. One bright arc of sunshine, though, is a majority of Americans dig what Joe Biden is doing in the week-and-a-couple-of-days he’s been in office. Looks we’re getting out…
Rain and more rain here in California’s Central Valley this Thursday afternoon, and feels like it ain’t never gonna stop. In the news it appears an endless cycle of rain, too, mostly of the nutcase variety, of stories piled high of how the GOP is infected with a bigly-binge of crazy — like this: Or…
Weather joined the news cycle heavily today, bouncing some shit off the radar for awhile — snow storms, atmospheric rivers on the West Coast, and heavy snow again just about everywhere else. Life keeps moving, though. News out of DC — beyond Joe Biden’s quick work — is the T-Rump might slip-pass conviction in his…
Weather and climate hit the top spot for news this Wednesday morning as winter storms coast-to-coast are wreaking havoc across the board — here in California’s Central Valley we’re in the middle of heavy rains and high winds. Looks to be the theme for the next three/four days. And is epic — via The Washington…
America is in a kind of fix. President Joe Biden has been in office less than a week and the horrible memories of the awful days of the T-Rump are being slowly whitewashed away by a loud blare of a whining minority while the biggest chunk of Americans want the former president convicted and made…
One scary COVID-19 phenomenon is whenever there’s a perceived downward curve on infections/hospitalizations/deaths our whole shit melts away and we breathe a sigh of relief, reopen closed societies and try to regain a sense of normalcy, but seemingly always too soon. Although the numbers have dropped, they’re still shitty (John Hopkins University): As of this…
A major portal for the public into any White House is through the press briefing/conference, they’re either chaotic bullshit or reassuring to facts and reality. One really refreshing aspect of Joe Biden’s presidency so far is the question-and-answer sessions with Biden’s White House press secretary, Jen Psaki. In her very-first appearance before reporters last Thursday,…
