War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another sad, horror-of-guns in America today (via The Washington Post): ‘Eighteen children and three adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary, Texas Sen. Roland Gutierrez (D) said Tuesday on CNN. He said he learned of the higher death toll from a briefing with the Texas Rangers.‘ Initial reports from earlier and a disheartening…
In the massive letters of law broken by the T-Rump down through the ages, especially even consisting in his brief four-year tour of duty as POTUS, breaking laws, up-ending ethics, and generally being a complete asshole to everything and everybody, this Friday morning, another close-to-crime story cranks into the cycle. Drifter grifter all day long:…
(Illustration out front: ‘The Three Amigos,’ and found here). An idiot remains an idiot despite the whitewash, and even with the incense burning tattering holes in history books. When this blog first appeared 15 years ago last month — April 22, 2007 — (I forgot the anniversary until a few days later, but the past…
Blood on the hands of Republicans and those who cry murderous, racist shit in the face of hate. Ten people on a normal grocery-store run Saturday died because of the terribly violent and racist agenda by a white kid who perpetrated an event that “was pure evil” in its encompassing horror: A couple of the…
Breezy-warm this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — been a hot weekend, probably in the mid-90s today (reportedly mid-80s right now), about the same yesterday. Nice weather, sad-shit news. Top of the cycle today was feedback and flashes off the mass shooting yesterday at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY, and the horror of…
(Illustration: MC Escher’s ‘The Second Day Of The Creation‘ (1925), and found here). In the science contextual slipstream from this morning, a couple of cases/reports/studies/essays/whatnot ever you want to call, and with an interest for the nowadays. This first one is a horrid historical clusterf*ck for no reason other to be pieces of white-ass, holier-than-thou…
Sick place, America, right now. In much of our goings-on, there’s a shitload of cruelty, hypocrisy, and self-centered screaming against doing/being good to our fellow humans. A certain view disallows any other, with malice aforethought. That leaked SCOTUS opinion has raised the stakes on natural freedom and choice — the future is dark, dystopian and…
One of the most-confounding wonders of the nowadays is why the shit T-Rump isn’t on trial somewhere, anywhere for all the obvious, out-in-the-open crimes he’s committed since he was an asshole kid. Especially in trying to subvert an election and instigate an insurrection Despite evidence to the contrary, he’s skated. And a former close associate/confidenat…
Sunny and pleasant this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — rain maybe tomorrow, but that’s another day. Let’s just wait and see as weather is always dry nowadays even when it’s dampishly wet. Scrolling the news cycle has hardened into some horrible shit, from physical brutal, deadly and bloody like in Ukraine (or…
Sunshine and still air this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — cloudy and overcast for most of the day, and then for some reason,shifted to clear-blue skies late this afternoon. Turn-about is fair play in wearthering the environment. Meanwhile, the environment of reality on our planet is shitty and depressing. Constant pings of…
