War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Despite knowledge of how lying and bullshit is his trade of life, news of T-Rump’s adventures with classified documents is an epic tale in itself of slap-away accountability, of which he’s never suffered. News today, the search came up with more shit in the closet: Details via The Washington Post, updated this afternoon: Lawyers for…
Overcast and gray this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a ring of winter in the miserable-looking sky. Meanwhile, back east the T-Rump was hit where it hurts — in the being-a-lying-asshole game. A New York jury this afternoon found two of his companies guilty of 17 counts of tax fraud and other…
One of the giant problems in handling the bullshit from Republicans is the journalists (supposed journalists) and other media types covering the Republican bullshit. And for instance, from yesterday: Coverage of asshole Republicans is at a fever-pitch dumb-ass. The above isn’t just the rich players like Upchuck Todd at NBC, but also ABC‘s Martha Raddatz,…
Dark-thirty and cold already this Saturday evening in California’s Central Valley — winter feels closer than just around the corner. Also closer than they appear, the T-Rump playing denier on his now infamous dinner with knuckle-headed nutcase Ye and Nick Fuentes, one of the biggest pieces-of-racist shit in America, and the fallout that exploded —…
Clear, blue skies and splashy sunshine here in California’s Central Valley this near-noon Friday. We’re ending the work week on another fine, fall day.

In the wake of Katie Hobbs’s delightful defeat of frightful nutcase Kari Lake last night for governor of Arizona, an opposite gag-reflex action in just a little while from the most-worse frightful nutcase the T-Rump in supposedly announcing plans to make once again a try at being elected president in 2024. Although he’s popular with…
Sunshine in glorious bursts from behind big, fluffy white clouds this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a wonderous, beautiful day after a most-marvelous midterm election yesterday. The weather feels the yay! whee! effect this morning. Instead of sad and remorse, anxiety attacks coupled with stress headaches, and other sad-sack mental states, there’s…
Less than a week now to those infamous midterms, and Joe Biden this afternoon pointed a righteous finger at the violent, nasty antics of MAGA Republicans in this serious, ugly fight for democracy. In a speech at Union Station (where else but a beloved train terminal), Joe capped it (CNN): “We can’t take democracy for…
(Illustration: ‘Significant Event Note: Oct 27 1980,’ gouache on paper, by Jimmy Ernst, and found here.) Today three weeks from now a major event, more than what the artwork above suggests as ‘significant‘ as we work the ballot box down to the slightest degree — the future of America is held sway in the results.…
