War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
America is not immune to political/illegal shenanigans — and the criminal enterprise that was the T-Rump era in the Oval Office looks to have been the most corrupt, good-grief awful governmental operation in our history. And apparently, he became increasingly way-more villainous and ignorant toward the end. Here it is late in the afternoon, and…
Doomscrolling through news events this late Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, I flashed across this T-rump news story of the worse kind — the reality behind last month’s New York DA dustup over prosecuting the asshole, allowing the weasel to most-likely skirt the law once again. Prosecute to aid democracy and justice —…
Approaching early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and although it was another warmish, bright day, this kind of weather is too early it seems, which badly bodes for a heavy-hot year ahead. Beautiful right now, but triple-digit temperatures are only a few short weeks away — way-too soon. In the surfing InterWeb news sites,…
Some specimens in the Republican mindset nowadays — one frame after another. Despite the age, racism, and whiteness: Nutshell via CNN late this afternoon: Beatty, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, said in a string of tweets, “Today, while heading to the House floor for votes, I respectfully asked my colleague @RepHalRogers to put on…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s mural,’ Guernica,’ found here). Tweaking the news cycle this Wednesday evening is an idiot rhyme: Breyer to retire. Since this morning, all the shit all the time is about Breyer’s announced retirement from the SCOTUS. Good to get some light in an otherwise dark-ass future. And the news will be inundated with…
As Republicans slowly-swiftly strangle democracy at the voting booth, there doesn’t seem to be much we can do, other than get as many people out to vote next November as possible. Until then: Shitty details via NBC News yesterday: State Republicans spent 2021 hunting for the widespread voter fraud that former President Donald Trump told…
Dense, chilly fog here mid-day Sunday in California’s Central Valley, a full-scale return to our ‘tule fog‘ bullshit once again after some rain last week, with the version this morning a thick, near-opaque gray in absolutely-zero wind — zilch in any kind of movement. A simile in the ugly Joe ‘MonsterMash’ Manchin — : In…
Awaiting the clouds to roll away this mid-day Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, in a move that hopefully will spark some supposed sunshine this afternoon — no rain forecast until next week. Weathering the non-weather is key. One shitty non-weather thing Republicans continually do (among a buttload of things) is downplay or deny something…
People and events in the news and how they are portrayed to the American public is one of the reasons this country is probably up shit creek without a paddle. Beyond the media roar from last night when the House select committee read aloud text messages sent to Mark Meadows on Jan. 6 from all…
