War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘In Jail,’ image via Michael Cohen from last May, and found here). One of the more pleasant aspects of any thought about the T-Rump is the possibility of his fat ass sitting in a jail/prison cell — although the reality of such a thing is historically remote, there’s still the wish. As long as…
(Illustration: ‘Government Shutdown Crisis,’ by Nonja Tiller, and found here). As if Americans didn’t currently have enough on their collective-disaster plate, now there’s the idiotic GQP-influenced debt ceiling bullshit, maybe leading to a US government shutdown at the end of this month, followed by a financial calamity for everybody but rich assholes. The debt ceiling…
As America stews through a slew of potboiler issues, according to what citizens feel, we’re up shit creek without a paddle. In the latest Ipsos poll out today, just a quarter of respondents think the US is heading in the right direction — 59-percent perceive we’re on the ‘wrong track.’ Of course, in the break-down…
Another Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley and to set the tone, one of my favorite songs done in an unplugged, acoustic form with sentiment — this version became a favorite of mine after an extended hospital stay/and surgery experience three years ago, and listened to it at least a couple of times a day…
this A major item, but lost in the endless shit-pile of all kinds of news stories — on some peripheral edge, I think maybe I’d seen a headline with the word, ‘chip,’ in it: Apparently, so bad: ‘The Biden administration is developing plans to quickly spend $52 billion to deal with semiconductor supply issues if…
In the hallowed-halls of Congress not much is accomplished nowadays, especially anything the majority of Americans support, or want done, so last week another step in the right direction for marijuana reform — except, of course, the cold, un-stoned hearts of Republicans: Details from NBC News last Thursday: The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act…
Big news this morning on the legal side of the T-Rump world as it was announced New York prosecutors are not only pursuing a criminal angle, but also now going after the orange turd’s CFO of all the T-Tump bullshit business dealings, inide and out — I have my doubts T-Rump will ever see the…
Topsy-turvey life this Saturday afternoon as we face problems from various fronts, including directly overhead. Last week, China launched a Long March 5B rocket carrying a big piece of that country’s next space station, but the 23-ton core stage has been losing altitude since and will soon make what is called “uncontrolled re-entry” back to…
Once again the COVID virus strikes the asses of millions — a possible price sky-rocket for toiet paper. Maybe no shortage this time, just only the rich will be able to afford proper materials — opening a gap between the haves, and the have-nots. Or black-market shit paper: Shit-paper details from CNN this afternoon: “We’ve…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
