War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Near noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another brown-cloud day as we spin the last day of March from a quickening 2022 calendar, a fourth of the once-labeled ‘new year’ about gone already with the approach of the appropriately tagged April Fool’s Day tomorrow. Of course, don’t be an optimist as way-more ugly…
America is not immune to political/illegal shenanigans — and the criminal enterprise that was the T-Rump era in the Oval Office looks to have been the most corrupt, good-grief awful governmental operation in our history. And apparently, he became increasingly way-more villainous and ignorant toward the end. Here it is late in the afternoon, and…
Maybe some good news out of Ukraine this Tuesday morning — peace talks progressing and Vlad Putin’s incompetent, crazed army might lighten up to encourage a possible ‘off-ramp’ to the horror show: Details via CNN late this morning: Russia said it would “drastically reduce” its military assault on the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv…
Cloudy with rain showers on the horizon this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. Weekends have always blown by in time, though, nowadays there’s not much space between Friday evening and Sunday night/Monday morning.

Beyond the national horror of Republicans acting like cruel, tasteless buffoons — Ketanji Brown Jackson is a treasure — the war in Ukraine…
Doomscrolling through news events this late Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, I flashed across this T-rump news story of the worse kind — the reality behind last month’s New York DA dustup over prosecuting the asshole, allowing the weasel to most-likely skirt the law once again. Prosecute to aid democracy and justice —…
Clear and windy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — winter’s officially over! Earlier this morning (8:33 AM PDT) there sprang the March equinox — also called the vernal equinox — and the first day of spring. In turn, this day only means the burn season is quickly coming upon us. Meanwhile, Ukraine…
Raining a bit this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — after an overcast sky for most of the day, the soft showers finally came just a while ago. Although not supposed to last long right now, more rain is forecast for the middle of next week. Despite the water falling, it’s still been…
Slowly ending another day here in California’s Central Valley as Friday evening and darkness draws close at hand, initiating the start to the weekend — which nowadays shows it’s not necessarily a time of rest. Ukraine continues unabated as the cruel news source of the era — yet as history indicates, Vlad Putin may be…
