War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the US continues down a perilous path with a unrelenting pandemic on one side, a fevered civil unrest on the other, the T-Rump accelerates his own shit-head ignorance without an ounce of empathy. This morning a press conference that wasn’t really a ‘press’ conference at all, just another stunt to bolster the tiny brain…
Interesting in the context of civil unrest, the military side of the T-Rump bluster has turned the coin: Since the T-Rump’s ‘dominate’ rant, his blubbering about instigating the Insurrection Act, and subsequent walk to the church Monday evening the shit has hit the military fan. Not only are protesters protesting the T-Rump White House, but…
Just short of the Thursday noon hour here in California’s Central Valley with temperatures near 100-degrees already as we get set for another hot/hottest afternoon ahead. Not much breeze, either, which makes the heat feel even warmer despite being way-warm anyway. Notwithstanding the serial clusterfucks now swirling around us, the old stand-by/background-noise/cataclysm of climate change…
Hot to say the least this Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — just turning 6 PM and it’s still 100-freaking-degrees, and apparently won’t really be tepid until well after dark. Tomorrow the same with a forecast high of 106. Then some cooling through the weekend. Summer, summer hitherto not here… And again today protests across…
Soft breezes and heavy-heat this late-afternoon Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, supposedly 94-degrees right now with nearly three hours of daylight left. Somewhere in the low-80s by dark– tomorrow starts a two-day hot flash: temperatures Wednesday and Thursday reportedly in triple-digits. Hot flashes weather, metaphorically speaking. Those light-yellow flowers top-left of the photo shown, I…
Overcast and mostly quiet this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Seemingly, with every day an acceleration of a shitty ride further into calamity. And today no exception: Hysteria over this is natural, but the T-Rump is only playing the only way he knows, with cruelty. This afternoon he staged a photo-op to showcase,…
As the nation becomes violently unglued, the T-Rump is finally feeling some of the distaste the country has for him — interesting situation as relayed by the New York Times this afternoon: Inside the White House, the mood was bristling with tension. Hundreds of protesters were gathering outside the gates, shouting curses at President Trump…
Overcast and breezy, a cool-feeling supposedly 80-degrees this Sunday afternoon in California’s Central Valley. Sitting in my daughter’s small, cozy backyard, I catch occasional glimmers of sunshine, but the scene mostly emoting an ambiance of an old black-and-white movie with brief flashes of color. Another heat burst upcoming, maybe temps in triple digits by mid-week.…
In continuing protests of the police killing of George Floyd earlier this week in Minneapolis, several hundred people converged today on downtown Merced to show solidarity for the cause, and lend support for African-Americans being killed by police. Demonstrations have occurred all over the country, from Minnesota to New York to California — a federal…
Near mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and finally a day not so blistering hot — we saw a week of triple-digit temperatures, topping out yesterday at 105-degrees. As of right now ‘just‘ 80, supposedly heading later this afternoon to a high of 95, though, I don’t seen it getting there. A crater-drop in…
