War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As Joe Biden gets ready to make his first speech to a joint session of Congress tonight, rolling with a theme of “America is on the move again,” there’s a bit of history, too: ‘He’ll deliver a speech more than a year into the pandemic with the smallest audience in recent memory and a backdrop…
If the wordage, ‘Before Times,’ has become a catch-pin for life prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, from all indications it could also come to include the period in the next generation or so. The twin beasts of the T-Rump and the coronavirus coming together have fostered a grim future, at least according…
(Illustration: ‘Look, We’ve Got To Improve Our Voter-tracking,’ canvas print by Rpbert Mankoff, and found here). In an obvious reaction to the T-Rump and Republicans in general the past four years (especially the last couple), the majority of Americans are tending to slip leftward in response to the clusterfuck hoisted upon them with GOP-influenced COVID…
Anyone who does any driving — Before Times and the COVID pandemic, of course — can see our roadways, bridges and assorted, related structures are shot-to-shit and have been in crappy-dangerous condition for a long time. In fact, you have to go back 65 years to the last activity with our transportation/electrical grid complex and…
In the scope of human events, it becomes near-about impossible to understand how vile and shitty people are when they continually disclose that they’re even worse than how shitty you figured they were at the outset. Yet then they twist a bit, display characteristics beyond-dreadful than the horrifically-bad you assumed just minutes earlier, thusly, you’re…
As the ‘normal‘ is made the new ‘abnormal‘ in this day-and-age, Joe Biden is taking the bull by the horns and moving this country in the right direction despite the over-stuffed spasms of Republicans, who are drowning in bile and ignorance without lifting a finger. Hence, this afternoon the first gathering of Joe’s team: Some…
Maybe for the first time in his long, repugnant life, the T-Rump could finally be in the legal shits, between tax/business shenanigans in New York (and elsewhere), his inciting an insurrection, and pending court cases of women he’s defamed, the asshole could see some good-time judgment. Just yesterday, the latest: Details via Law&Crime yesterday afternoon:…
Jolting Joe Biden continues on a roll as he’s expected to propose a $2 trillion infrastructure plan today during an event in Pittsburgh — supposedly the first of two parts, the ‘American Jobs Plan‘ would not only re-build our transportation system, but invest in care for elderly and disabled Americans, create more affordable housing, refurbish…
Laying-up in Florida, nasty-faced and stumped of glory, the T-Rump is in a financial and legal pickle as his beloved glory days are in their sunset times — even his “Trump Force One” rots away unused: ‘Donad Trump’s 757 jet is in mothballs in upstate New York, missing parts with one of its engines shrink-wrapped.‘…
Living through this perilous age has caused pessimism to be forcibly the norm, however, events the past few weeks has seemingly shifted that view around a bit. Now we have a perception that a return to ‘normal’ (whatever that was/is) might be close at hand — even polls reflect such: Optimism is becoming the norm in…
