War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
First up above all else for a second this Monday morning — a great, big thank-you to tengrain, who wondrously blogs at Mock Paper Scissors, and who while handling Mike’s Blog Round-up this week at Crooks&Liars, gave this humble, lowly blog a much-appreciated great shout-out today. Tengrain has done it more than once before, so…
A Sunday morning nutjobs precipice: The obvious national criminal activity from the T-Rump and his half-wit cronies doesn’t even seem to hamper the scam as he remains free as a bird to plunge onto a dumb-ass grifting-lying tour with quarter-wit asshole Bill O’Reilly and upon their initial blubber-fest last night created a miserable bust in…
Sunshine again this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — there was deep fog earlier but burned off and we found ourselves with a nice autumn day, with warmish temperatures stoked by cool, wimpish breezes. In this region and for the time, about as good as it gets. However, can’t be said for that…
*UPDATE BELOW* Democracy and the law seem worlds apart nowadays with Republicans doing just about anything they want without a peek of a pushback from any legal office — Steve Bannon is still shitting freely weeks after being held in contempt of Congress. And the roll call builds if there’s no jailhouse rock. Today, another…
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,…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this later-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. On the weekend and the power-slot news is brisk and mostly empty of substance — the following are just a few items of interest I spied while doomscrolling through the Interwebs. Just about everything sucks —…
As we approach a year after the election, T-Rump’s push on the Big Lie continues to burn brightly and coupled with the shameless anti-democracy shenanigans of the entire Republican party puts America at the end of a short fuse — the assault on our constitutional government norms is led by a vile, horrid orange turd…
Sunny and nice this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, weather as an indicator of living. Meanwhile far to the East, the House select committee on the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot calls contempt for Steve Bannon — the full House will vote on it supposedly on Thursday — and the T-Rump continued to show his…
Colin Powell died earlier today — as I’m sure you now know — he was 84 and lived a high-flying military life. Despite all the achievements, he will be remembered most/best for lying at the UN to allow the inhumane, illegal invasion of Iraq. Reportedly, Powell died from the effects of the COVID virus. Via…
