War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Yesterday was one of those watershed-type days. Personally, I received an excellent follow-up medical review at UC Davis off my cancer surgery more than two years ago (next exam in a year), and nationally, Joe Biden became POTUS. The latter also a big thumbs-up in the health category. And this morning, a spring in the…
One most-wonderful scene today with the new Biden adminstration is the return of the ‘sane’ and qualified press briefing without bullshit and ‘alternative facts:’ I missed most of todays events as they unfolded as I had a follow-up medical exam in the afternoon at UC Davis in Sacramento. However, I did catch Biden’s inauguration this…
Hip-hip hooray! (Illustration by Dave Granlund/CagleCartoons, found here). Watching just now the swearing-in of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a massive, deep-gutted sigh of relief. Biden is currently giving his acceptance speech and bringing joy to the vast, vast majority of Americans watching at home, isolated and wary of life going forward, but that…
In a matter of hours, an era of weird-ass shit of constant lying and whining and bitching comes to an end. America did indeed have a first with the T-Rump — a way-obvious villain in the White House. All the shitty presidents past, James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, so forth, and even Dick Nixon, at least…
By this rime tomorrow, we’ll be in a brand-new timeframe, hopefully similar like before-timeframe, like Before Times, like before the T-Rump shit on the country. If only we could erase memory (Republicans will indeed practice amnesia about the T-Rump timeframe), but we will be stained in the brain for years to come. Despite three years…
Once again sunny and warm this Monday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — Martin Luther King Day, celebrated on the third Monday of each January, and this year, three days beyond what would have been his 92th birthday. And what of the T-Rump today? An asshole adminstration being an asshole, but gets a rebuke:…
As Wednesday comes closer and closer, one wonders how life will be without T-Rump as president — will there be a massive, collective sigh of relief? Blood pressures go down? Aspects of the T-Rump as private citizen needs more than a second-or-third thought, actually he doesn’t need to be thought of at all. However, how…
Sunny and warm this near-midday Sunday in California’s Central Valley, surfing the InterWebs, though, not shockingly there’s a whole lot of shitty shit from all over and from just about every direction — COVID-19 still spinning out of control (yesterday, 3,286 Americans died); national as well as some state capitols braced for nefarious actors arriving…
In this high-tech, social-media world, it’s not really surprising a new study shows the impact of T-Rump’s massive deception tactics on the faint of brain — since he’s been off Twitter, misinfornation online has way-dropped; (Illustration by Christopher Weyant, The Boston Globe, and found here). Leader of the free world, and the unfree world as…
A shitload of shit happening out there in the world. In an early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley it feels like the shit is spinning out of control — there’s concertina razor wire surrounding the nation’s Capitol building, with more National Guard there ‘…than the number of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.’…
