War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Even as the T-Rump makes open admissions of overturning the last election, and as democracy dangles in the balance, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot — “…the mother of all investigations and a quantum leap for Congress…” — is actually plowing the legal field: “It’s not a criminal investigation, but having experienced…
After a week — I’m back! First real post in seven days. During this time I went through a final edit of my first novel I’m self-publishing — read about the whole project here, and the post from last Saturday here. Updates on the matter as they become available. And the news cycle didn’t take…
Daylight fading as we approach early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a fine finish to a day that started with a deep-gray fog, which burned off quickly into bright sunshine and warm temperatures — another one of those about-as-good-as-it-gets, though, way-early in the year. Weather like this usually doesn’t arrive until at least next…
In dangerous territory as we are right now, even butterflies appear in possible jeopardy: An e-mail from the National Butterfly Center was shared this morning at Daily Kos, explaining the shit-situation, pretty straight-forward and on point: We are writing to let you know the National Butterfly Center will be closed Friday, Jan. 28 – Sunday,…

InterWebs went daffy:…
Another weekend coming to an end this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, and, too, the first month of a new year is near-about gone already, maybe a preview of just how quickly 2022 will pass, slingshotting us into 2023 with the speed of a finger snap. Time seems to have acquired a warped-sprint…
One of the toughest questions to answer nowadays — at least for me, from a sane, somewhat knowledgable crux — is how can any person of any sense vote Republican? We’re in a way-dangerous moment in US history as one of ‘only’ two political parties is an immoral, horrible criminal enterprise. Within a lengthy press…
(Illustration: ‘A Mild Case of Cognitive Dissonance,’ ink on canvas, by Wilf Tilley, and found here). As early-evening Thursday fashions itself here in California’s Central Valley, the country is becoming more and more a problem bin for weird-ass troubles — the lastest is how a huge chunk of Americans are suffering from perceptions of contradictory…
Tweet for the twitter birds of absolute shit — Republicans are the worse with MoscowMitch slime leader: Nutshell via The Daily Beast late this morning: If only politicians thought before they talked. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) seemingly implied on Wednesday that Black Americans are not true Americans. Following a failed vote on Democrats’ John Lewis…
