War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Nestled amongst the news cycle items today were a couple of Josh Hawley recaps that maybe felt relevant to the issue of the asshole being a chickenshit. Despite Hawley acting the pure douchebag this past weekend at the fully-unhinged Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, crying, ‘“I’m not going to apologize, I’m not going to…
In this age of mass killings in public — an America-only horror story — this captures the emotion of the moment. I got a brief teary-eyed at the end (h/t tweet tengrain): Although I haven’t read of any mass shootings hitting the national headlines today, there’s been at least 11 this weekend (according to Gun…
Still hot without much air movement close to noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — legal summertime, so there’s no crime. Just sweat and a longing for soft rain in a patching drought. Also at the same time there’s a yearning for justice in that continuing seemingly disregard in accountability for the mass of…
We’re warming up this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another hot day already, yet it’s become normal for the time. Later this afternoon, triple-digit temps are supposedly scheduled, but since this has been a long hot streak, we’ve used to the heavy air blister, and know to stay inside. If we had…
Summer continues this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. — hot but soothed by a gentle breeze, making it not really all that unpleasant in the shade. As we await the start of the Jan. 6 hearing this evening, I doomscrolled the InterWebs and amidst the shit-stories from all over, I did encounter some…
Beyond the miserable heat, a depressing aspect of the nowadays is the most-likelihood of T-Rump and the large cesspool of his cronies could skate on crimes of insurrection/riot/coup after losing the 2020 election. The vacumn of Merrick Garland’s energy sucks up into an empty paper bag. One note of a decent vibe comes from Georgia…
Another scorcher near mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — one in a week’s worth of hot, blistering heat across the western US as the summer of 2022 continues unabated. Although we haven’t had the smoke skies yet, not far away from my location, giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park are burning in a…
A pleasant late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, sunshine, but without the intense heat. Forecasts for today were wrong, which does happen on occasion. In sending the T-Rump to jail, a new poll has found a lot of Americans know he’s guilty of criminal acts, leading maybe to sedition. Democracy at stake: Details via…
Intense, full baked-on hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 108 degrees just a while ago, and although it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow (forecast high of 102), it’s all heavy-air shit that requires AC living. Hot, too, the violence in America — and weird-ass gun shit in the LA area this…
A most-major concern for America today is the insanity of the Republican Party. As Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post put it yesterday: The mainstream media insist on treating the Republican Party as a normal party, routinely declining to press them on their party’s embrace of violence, lies and conspiracy theories. President Biden only gingerly…
