War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny and warmish this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another day of nice. Despite being the best, and one of the most accomplished presidents in recent memory, Joe Biden can’t catch a break — via CNN this afternoon: ‘The devastating verdict voters deliver on President Joe Biden in a new CNN poll…
Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…
In regards somewhat to my post from earlier today on the insane, lop-sided delusion of MAGA nutcases loving the criminal, nasty aspects of -Rump’s entire catalog of shit, and the uphill climb Joe Biden has in order to overcome such an idiotic political landscape. Although Biden might be the best, gets-shit-done president since FDR, and…
Sunny and warm a few minutes after the noon hour this Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — summer falling into autumn nice and easy. So far, anyway. In doomscrolling the news this morning, I became a bit worried about some bits of really-insane polling for the 2024 presidential race — despite the absolute terror…
Another musical death was announced today — Jimmy Buffett has died at 76. And apparently, he was way-more than a wonderful songwriter and lifestyle persona: Beyond the artistic whimsical, however, in that sense of being ‘lucky‘ with a certain financial sense (Barron’s): ‘Buffett built an enormous business empire valued at several hundred million dollars: Margaritaville…
Ashen-gray (if there’s such a coloring) skies this Friday evening — weather is just climate done locally. In between sea-level rise and hot-ass ocean water, the just churned through Hurricane Idalia is a notable and horrific example of our future due to bad-shit-already-here-and-even-worse-shit-coming climate change — although obvious, not being taken seriously is a problem.…
Overcast and breezy warm just after the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coolest day yet as we’re forecast for temps in the high 80s for today and the weekend as we continue our slide into seasonal change the easy way. Weather is a perspective ingredient centering on location. The same, too,…
I’ve smoked marijuana for nearly half a century, and I’m a much better person for it, so this is long, long overdue: Marijuana has a shitty history due to asshole history. Americans and Europeans had known of pot’s medical value since at least the 1830s, and toward the end of the 19th century, we could…
Sunny and mild this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — and considering it’s still summer, use of the descriptive word ‘mild,’ is weather-wise saying a lot. As for instance, Hurricane Idalia’s cruise through Florida and onto into Georgia and the Carolinas — although a massive hit, circumstances proved to be a ‘dodged-a-bullet’ scenario…
Warm, but not unpleasant this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we continue to slide into fall weather at a nice, not-boiling-hot pace. Yet in this ambiance, the shit still rises to the top — rumor there’s a roomer in your loony bin: A guy with really, really major problems inserted into a…
