War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Serious news all day — this morning testimony/a review of a terrible-ass insurrection; while this afternoon a slide back in the struggle to get a grip on the COVID-19 virus — the former, all politics and dying, and the latter, horribly also all politics and dying. Republicans and the T-Rump have a lot to answer…
In a display that’s getting old and worn, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki schooled Fox News‘ Peter Doocy afresh today on COVID facts and figures — some ‘reverse gotcha’ podium speak: Details per Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday was forced to explain the basics of the coronavirus pandemic to…
(Illustration Statue of Liberty and a part of New York harbor a couple of days ago — image found here). Near-clear skies and getting warmer this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re supposed to hit triple figures by late afternoon, which is nothing new. Our good fortune so far is the air…
One thing Republicans can’t handle is pushback, and their response is generally a baby-whine of pity and way-dumb self-righteousness, and this morning a fine example — Kevin McCarthy got his feelings hurt by Nancy Pelosi: Just on Monday did McCarthy finally name his five Republican picks for the House Select Committee to investigate the January…
Already the deep-makings of another hot one this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Heat is all over the place. Back east in DC another heated dust-up between prime asshole Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci, which again leads to the question of whether Paul is an idiot or just a way-abnormal shit — he…
Despite the obvious: ‘“There is a clear message that is coming through: This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said at a Friday briefing of the White House COVID-19 Response Team. “Our biggest concern is we are going to continue to see preventable cases, hospitalizations and sadly deaths…
In the long-short run, conservatives/Republicans are destroying America on many levels, from the ballot box to the classroom, but maybe the worse strike is death — fighting the fighting of a deadly virus that’s already killed more than 600,000 Americans is perhaps the most-immediate concern. Evident in yesterday’s antics at the nutjob CPAC convention in…
Starting to get warmer this mid-morning Tuesday here in Califoria’s Central Valley — we’re temp-wise forecast for triple-figures again by mid-afternoon, but the bad heat seems past us, for right now. Low-90s reportedly rest of the week and on into the weekend. Added distress for my elderly-eradicated brain today is the current news on that…
In our continuing struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic — after about a year-and-a-half — we appear in the right-now time-frame/plotline to be in a kind limbo-downer, falling short of a crucial breakpoint in obtaining sny kind of ‘herd immunity’ and maybe getting-back some small sense of ‘normal,’ whatever that is nowadays. Big obstacle is anti-vaxxers…
Here we are again, another Monday and with it another book detailing the horror of the T-Rump getting way-fucking flummoxed by the COVID-19 pandemic, brushing-aside warnings with narcissistic ignorance, allowing the virus to run rampant across the US, now having killed more than 600,000-plus Americans within a short, year-and-a-half — in irony of all slingshot,…
