War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, a fine turn-around from most of a cloudy-foggy day. Rain expected tomorrow. Despite the gray-ash chill, the Ma-le’l Dunes this morning was still a gorgeous dog run. This, too, rings true nowadays: I go to bed feeling that same way. The crazy continues unabated. Drama so freaked…
Straight-up: Nit-twit mobsters in play: The cover for the upcoming edition of the New Yorker depicts President Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani as mobsters who are murdering Uncle Sam. Trump and Giuliani have been embroiled in a scandal surrounding a July 25 phone call the president had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during…
Breezy sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast. In the wacky world in which we currently inhabit, the expert wisdom of the T-Rump, from last January: ‘“Having a drone fly overhead — and I think nobody knows much more about technology, this type of technology certainly, than I do.”’ (Source). Fast forward to yesterday,…
Cloudy and chilly this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast. We had a bit of sun during the day, but by early afternoon the sky was just about all gray. A morning dog run at the Ma-le’l Dunes was warm and once again exerting… Anniversary of sorts today, a way-surreal moment from long, long…
Bright and chilly this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast. After some pretty-deep fog, the skies cleared onto a really beautiful afternoon. When the dogs and I arrived at Ma-le’l Dunes for our walk/run the area was coated in fog, but those grays were shortly thereafter softly burned-off into gentle, surrealistic colors. Another way-wonderful…
Overcast-gray this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, with no sun appearance at all today — also a dog run to Little River State Beach this morning was the same, except for a chilled ocean breeze. Showers maybe on Saturday, and supposedly remain ash-like all week. Best illustration I’d seen yet on mass shootings, America…
Sunny with a slight breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and warm, too. (Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). As the T-Rump continues to spiral into dangerous madness on a daily basis, there comes the question whether the piece-of-shit is the worse president, ever, or not — in the 2017 C-Span…
Tomorrow will be the 12th anniversary of the Great Recession’s fiscal origin moment: ‘On June 22, 2007, Bear Stearns pledged a collateralized loan of up to $3.2 billion to “bail out” one of its funds, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund, while negotiating with other banks to loan money against collateral to another fund,…
Bright late-afternoon/early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing another gorgeous episode of sunshine and warmth, but not too warm. Good dog run this morning at Little River State Beach — fog bound at first, then burn-off near-perfectly for a nice time. An opportunity to witness the T-Rump as an asshole douche in just a…
Overcast-gray this Friday evening with occasional faded-yellow sunlight shifting through — back to normal here on California’s north coast. This Sunday four years ago — June 16, 2015 — the T-Rump took that infamous, caricature-like, narcissistic escalator ride in Trump Tower, down he glided/slithered into shameful history. The artwork, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit…
