War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In advance of T-Rump’s state of failure speech tomorrow night: (Ben Jennings’ cartoon found at the Guardian). History reveals even the most shitty of US presidents honored America — Michael Tomasky at The New Republic this morning: We cannot say remotely the same of Donald Trump. He is largely and proudly ignorant of those traditions;…
Bright, sunshine-filled late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coupled with some pleasant temperatures about as good as it gets around here for a winter’s day. However, coming this holiday weekend is a forecast of a strong turnabout — seasonal shit of rain, thunderstorms and maybe snow for the nearby Sierra Nevada mountain range…
Drizzling chilled rain this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, with just a hint of daylight left, looking like a cold, wet, dark night. Of course, it’s always normally dark at night, unless there’s light. As we progress through the 44th day of the T-Rump’s wild ride in an on-going attempt to dismantle the…
Clear and quiet this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. (Illustration: “Collapse Of Perfection,” oil on canvas, by Peter Kim, and found here.) Shit’s getting deeper by the day. I’ve found it hard to post nowadays with such pessimistic ugliness polluting the news cycle nearly at a 24-hour-a-day clip. Nothing but horrifying shit-bending scope…
Clear and a bit chilly this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — no matter how you look at it, in the morning we’ll face another Monday. If we survive the night, that is … And adding fuel to a shitlist of ugly shit from that stinky piece of shit, the T-Rump, the last…
Another summer-day heated attempt in October this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a big difference in the warmth index, though, is simple: It’s autumn! Add an index of simplicity, too, with great economic news this morning with a robust jobs report, giving a bounce to Kamala Harris and an elbow in the…
Bright sunshine and getting-warm temperatures just past the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — the summer routine still playing out early in heat and color. In keeping with the subject line from yesterday’s post on my first encounter with the wondrous weed long, long ago and far, far away, Joe Biden this…
Hot and getting hotter this near-about-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — triple-digit temperatures for this weekend and on into next week, too. Just part-n-parcel for the entire, freaking world. First, in keeping it cool and too cute:: A wonder in all this heat. Anyhow, back to the heat of all that shitty, unethical…
Another gorgeous, sunshine-filled, low-temp episode shortly after the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Reportedly, another 10 days or so of this chilled-type weather (abnormal for the time) and summer is then expected to start kicking in with triple-digit air temperatures, so enjoy while you can. We all take notice of ‘special days‘…
Sunshine and cool temps (comparatively speaking) this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, near to closing out another nice autumn day. Despite some good numbers, the US economy revealed the wear-and-tear on itself, and even with the latest jobs report on Friday rippled the stock market with worries the Fed will step up —…
