War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Hot and still this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly 101-degrees right now and the mid-summer malaise has sunk in with a heavy atmosphere/ambiance environment. The air clings like dry sweat (if such a thing). Seemingly, dry mouth is the DC mode right now as Democrats have played Republicans in Congress, which…
Once again a blowback to asshole Republicans on Capitol Hill and their nasty, cruel approach to everything was on display this morning — in the shadow of the Manchin/Schumer agreement from yesterday, Senate GOPers retaliated and voted against much-needed health care for America’s military veterans, acting the spoiled-baby bitch. Just to show that petty, asshole…
Topping off the news cycle this Wednesday seems to be the Joe Manchin/Chuck Schumer agreement in the Senate for a big, breakthrough bill for climate and health care — and if it does make it past Republicans and signed into law, it would indeed be a BFD. The Manchin reversal shocker knocked T-Rump’s ramped-up DOJ…
In this age of mass killings in public — an America-only horror story — this captures the emotion of the moment. I got a brief teary-eyed at the end (h/t tweet tengrain): Although I haven’t read of any mass shootings hitting the national headlines today, there’s been at least 11 this weekend (according to Gun…
Still hot without much air movement close to noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — legal summertime, so there’s no crime. Just sweat and a longing for soft rain in a patching drought. Also at the same time there’s a yearning for justice in that continuing seemingly disregard in accountability for the mass of…
We’re warming up this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another hot day already, yet it’s become normal for the time. Later this afternoon, triple-digit temps are supposedly scheduled, but since this has been a long hot streak, we’ve used to the heavy air blister, and know to stay inside. If we had…
Aside from the hot-weather crisis this Wednesday afternoon we take a look at another calamity approaching that’s topical on the T-Rump skating scot-free from the massive criminal shit he’s pulled the last five years, not to say his whole, shitty, rotten life, but doing it on the public’s dime. Merrick Garland is the federal loop…
One of the big questions nowadays in American politics is not really whether the T-Rump will run again in 2024, but when will he announce — odds are soon. Via The Washington Post this morning: ‘The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for…
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
In the ever-continuing slow-walking display of justice, the announcement today of another T-Rump lawyer to testify before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup just might be the bridge to getting an indictment against the T-Rump, and then maybe a jail cell for the asshole. One knows hope springs eternal — except with Merrick…
