War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One of the giant problems in handling the bullshit from Republicans is the journalists (supposed journalists) and other media types covering the Republican bullshit. And for instance, from yesterday: Coverage of asshole Republicans is at a fever-pitch dumb-ass. The above isn’t just the rich players like Upchuck Todd at NBC, but also ABC‘s Martha Raddatz,…
Fading sunshine and a lingering chill this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — approaching the end of another beautiful day embedded in a comfortable autumn season. First, a couple of updates from yesterday’s posts on war and a shitty former American president. Although I wrote about the Russian missile that struck Poland and…
Another tired, terrible toss at the coming election. If the bad happens, then the worse will follow. At a glance, it seems a shitload of people appreciate just how super-serious this set of midterms is and the consequence if the wrong people are allowed into the wrong places. Of course, there’s only one outlet —…
On the eve of maybe the last weekend of American, old-school-real democracy. a big chunk of those Americans are scared of political violence, primarily as spewed by Republicans. If the tide runs against us, we are indeed f*cked in the dark. Sunny and chilly this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, but the lifestyle…
In the afternoon Interweb-news scroll, I ran across some serious pointers for the upcoming midterms — now just 13 days away. We’re facing some serious shit: Some righteously-chilling shit from Kevin Kruse, professor of history at Princeton University, in an interview at Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice earlier today — in less than two weeks, a…
Another fine autumn episode this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Weather pretty-much as good as it gets around these parts — a comfortable space before the dread of winter. Further upcoming dread is the participation of right-sided assholes in today’s political river of election bullshit — Republicans are not only cruel, shitty, and…
Weekend sensibilities this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley with nice weather coupled with seemingly not much way-horrible news makes relaxing sense. Yet even some good news was reported just a short while ago — a police surveillance team in Stockton, a city about an hour’s drive from where I’m located, has arrested a…
Autumn cool this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — despite being three hours behind, I’m watching most-likely the last public hearing of the House Jan/ 6 committee, and supposedly it’s going to be a barnburner of an event. Hottest item so far, apparently the T-Rump could be nailed in testimony — via The…
Nice, and maybe a bit chilly this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley with a cool breeze tempering the warmish sunshine — another autumn day to the growing roster before crisp becomes cold. Worse maybe still is how fast 2022 has burned through the calendar. In a sense, hard to believe it’s quickly approaching…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ [June 30, 1972], was originally found here.) Less than a year after Picasso finished the artwork above, he was dead from pulmonary edema and heart failure, so the title is fairly apt. He’d lived a good life for 91 years, though. Distraught by his death, his much-younger wife, and…
