War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A short new year and we’re up to our asses in dangerous shit in a hurry. Despite acting DHS honcho Chad Wolf declaring this morning there’s ‘currently no specific, credible threats against our homeland,’ the fallout from the T-Rump’s command to take-out Qasem Soleimani is still creating diarrhea for just about everybody that’s has walking-around…
Sunshine and a bit warm this late-afternoon of the second day of 2020 here in California’s San Joaquin Valley, a brightness after some pretty-thick morning low-clouds/fog which chilled the shit out of everything. Weather in the age of climate change. And far to the west, Australia is frying and burning from a climate ripped by…
Tomorrow is a brand-new year, but top of the news rounding-out 2019 is a topic decades old — Iraq. Via the Washington Post: Supporters of an Iranian-backed militia besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, breaking through the first layer of security at the embassy compound and damaging a…
Mostly sunny this late-afternoon Monday here in Merced, a place stranded in California’s Jan Joaquin Valley and seemingly lost between Modesto and Fresno — an affliction of ordinary. And it’s the eve of New York’s Eve, where soon we’ll start the beginning of a brand-new year and celebrate the end of another decade. Wonders will…
Considered ‘Partly Cloudy‘ this mid-day Thursday in Merced, midst of California’s San Joaquin Valley, as I attempt to normalize my new home area — resided here thereabouts more than 30 years ago, thus I somewhat grasp my situation/predicament… In 1975 I began my journalism career as a police reporter with The Montgomery Advertiser and in…
Clear and cold this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast — best to enjoy the sunshine as rain is forecast for Saturday, and will supposedly continue until maybe Monday evening. Along with the wet, high winds expected for at least tomorrow. Just a couple of sunny days next week, then more rain called-for starting…
Sharp sunshine slivered by a stinging, cold wind this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast. A mid-day dog walk at Little River State Beach was nicely inspiring, though, the wind really picked-up toward the end. Big, noteworthy storm coming tomorrow and Wednesday with winter-type temperatures rest of the week — via the NWS: This…
Foggy-dark-already this early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing time to another dark day which did carry occasional sparks of sunlight through low-hanging clouds, briefly shinning, then returning to dismal. Supposedly wet the next few hours — according to the NWS, there’s about an 80-percent chance of rain tonight, drawing-down to maybe 30-percent tomorrow.…
Foggy, damp and more-than-cool this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — sunshine busted through a bit in the early afternoon, but slowly the scenery went all fucking gray again. Seems like everything has gotten darker, the sky a misty ash wet to the touch. While on a mid-day dog run at Little River State…
One of the more-excellent reasons why the T-Rump should be booed at every opportunity — Adam Jentleson today at GQ Trump may be the president, but he is a deeply immoral man in ways that transcend partisan divisions. If you shoehorn all the despicable things Trump has said and done into the aphorism of “agree…
