War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A beautiful, warm Saturday was the attitude today for the second round of anti-T-Rump/pro-democracy “No Kings” rally here in my local town, Merced, set near the center of California’s Central Valley, and once again an emotional treat to be involved with a crowd calling for America to remain America. Although the event felt less emotional…
Set for absolutely no kings for Americans — keeping up with the horror day by day. This near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley finds us face-to-face with the building disaster that is America (and the world, too!) as we look down the scope of history to see turds gushing toward our situation. Doomscrolling used…
Early-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. A quick-snap view of some current goings-on (and an attempt to slowly start posting again) — first, the horror of Ukraine: Straight-faced lying is mainstream nowadays, from T-Rump to the Russkies: The twists/turns of the Epstein saga continue: Further: Via NBC News: Family members of a prominent victim…
Clear, bright sunshine, though, breezy chilly this mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — weird weather in the wake of last week’s triple-digit temps versus the forecast for a massive heat dome back East. We’re in for the shits this summer — no shit. Another time for a shine: An informative, spot-on read: Interview…
In a first for me, I attended — took part in — my local area’s portion of the ‘No Kings’ protests staged across the country today in opposition to all things T-Rump. It was emotional. All these people crowded into downtown Merced, California, with one voice and one aim — call shit as shit. People…
Today is a full month subsequent to my last post here, and indeed the shit has hit the old, worn-out fan over and over again. The fan is just about clogged with the ugly, taxing shit. Since nearly this entire year has been nothing but horror beyond the spoken/written word that it’s got me in…
Big, fluffy clouds with lots of sheltered sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a bit on the chilly side, though, backtracking on the boiling heat we experienced over the weekend. However, reality returns starting tomorrow with temperatures climbing into summertime heat. We’re most-likely in the last of the cool episodes this…
Bright sunshine and way-too-warm temperatures this mid-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a taste of what’s surely to come in a few short weeks, maybe a preview of a boiling-hot summer, which is no shock. We’re in the mid-80s right now with reportedly a chance to pop 90 before the day is out…
A gray, cool late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. First post this month that isn’t a beloved-dog obit — Bad (and nefarious) shit is accumulating so fast nowadays it’s getting harder and harder for me to slow down enough to type instead of doomscrolling for the daily/hourly/minute-by-minute activities of an advancing black hole of…
Bright, clear sunshine and well-warm temperatures this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly topped 85 not too long ago. Seasonal glimpse way too far ahead. A peep, too, on some really terrible people: A building correlation between Erdogan’s Turkey and T-Rump’s America: ‘“It’s kind of a nightmare that I wake up every…
