War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As America wades into the start of the 2021 holiday season there’s violent weirdness seeping into the festivities — along with a fatal SUV attack at a Wisconsin parade, Kyle Rittenhouse walking and a shitload of less notable people, places, and things screwing with any kind of spirit of the season. Add to the recipe,…
America is of two camps, one humane and thoughtful, the other, cruel and insane. In the dark shadow of the vicious future of murder and firearm control created by the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, the House earlier today passed Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion social safety net expansion legislation (the BBB — Build Back Better bill), but…
A bit of sunshine finally this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — an emotional good swing from the thick ‘radiation fog’ that’s been enveloping the valley for days on endless days. Sun is happy. Meanwhile, far back east in DC, Paul Gosar was censured today by the House and removed from committee assignments…
Fog again this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — tule gloom thick and depressing. After days of this shit, life seems to be a little sadder and ominous than even in the thinnest sunshine, which after a certain time seems farther and farther away. Whining, I know, but what the shit? Also in…
Enough shit is going on it boggles the mind, and beyond a ton of political news, I spied this tweet which seems to epitomize how we stand right now with the ludicrous game of sane vs the cruelly insane: In contextual leanings: Yesterday, a federal judge overturned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order prohibiting mask…
UPDATE Below: As the law reaches for the fat-neck of the T-Rump, his lawyers filed a request this morning for a momentary stay of the order issued on Tuesday to allow T-Rump’s records to be released to the House committee investigating Jan . 6 by tomorrow evening, and no asshole holds about it. However, T-Rump…
Despite the motion of prosecuting the T-Rump and his cronies moving quickly forward, the legal ramifications of ignoring the due process of law have so far been a wash. And despite, too, the ruling last night from a federal judge that T-Rump’s White House records can/and must be handed over to the Jan. 6 committee,…
Thick overcast and looking like rain this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we had some last night, but none so far today, though, it appears ready to unleash a torrent at any time. Whether how to weather the weather is the big question. Meanwhile, way-back East and the DC circus — I’m…
In the aftermath of Tuesday’s debacle of keeping democracy alive in America a lot has been written about what happened, who’s to blame, and what can be done about it. Most are bullshit, but there’s a crack in the ugly wall of non-governing Republican political shenanigans and if Democrats don’t take action, democracy will easily…
After last night there seems a spiked, ugly knot in my bowels constricting any kind of flow and the end result is no matter the stool softener/laxative used, the shit will only thicken and boil, finding no escape. No matter how you look at it, Democrats just don’t have any kind of strategy to confront…
