War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Today is a two-pronged special day — from The Old Farmer’s Almanac last week: ‘The June solstice occurs on Sunday, June 20, 2021, at 11:32 P.M. EDT. In 2021, it so happens that the solstice falls on the same day as Father’s Day!‘ Some science — via Space.com this morning: In addition, the summer solstice…
Another Dad’s Day with good wishes usually passed from children to dads in glad tidings. However, if you’re an asshole who doesn’t understand families and children and the word, ‘happy,’ there’s trouble. This morning, in seemingly notable context, it seems if the T-Rump is actually working to become even worse a human being: A close-up…
Just when you think Republicans couldn’t get any worse, or more manic, they perform feats of unvarnished repulsiveness that literally blows one’s skullcap — they twist and lie about shit observed in plain-sight, and in such obvious-obviousness it’d be way-hilarious if it wasn’t so frightfully dangerous. Some type of vile, psychotic blindness: Evidence abounds in…
As the fever-fiery, ‘mega-heat wave‘ continues here in California’s Central Valley and across a large chunk of the western US, the Friday news dump turned out in actuality to be sort an extension of my post from yesterday morning — the boiling oscillation has made an impact on living. As you can see in my…
Earlier this morning I was in the process of working on a political post — maybe a Mike Lindell/T-Rump be-alike scenario — but then saw the weird-ass number of gun-violence stories last night and I just had to switch to a firearm-centric plot, my second such in less than a week (first one here, if…
Even as life spins along and Joe Biden has been president nearly six months, the vile, infectious T-Rump virus continues to plague mankind and no known vaccine in sight, other than a way-shitload of people suddenly gaining reality perception. Anyone with walking-around sense could see Joe Biden’s European trip this week was like a hundred-trillion-percent…
And finally, the boil has come home to roost — tweet below my NWS forecast for right-about now for where I live, California’s Central Valley, as the massive heat wave which just hours ago was located mostly in the US SW has shifted: We’re expecting triple-digit temperatures today and for a few days to come,…
Set aside for a minute the Joe/Vlad face-to-face on the shores of peaceful Lake Geneva, or even the nauseous, toxix Repubican party here in the US, seeking to erase democracy, or the outbreak of vicious gun violence that’s sweeping this country — mass shootings are being normalized by their countinous occurrence — or maybe a…
Usually, in putting together the couple of posts I do about every day, there’s always some seemingly-more interesting than the dozens of serious/important news items flashing across our screens 24/7, and one or two worthy of the time to build a page on it. Today felt like more than just one was blinking red in…
After an elderly guy in Placer County died in March 2020, the first COVID-19 death in California, the state with the rest of the country went into near-shock mode with lockdowns/shutdowns/stay-at-home orders, etc. that would put a wedge into the normalacy of living. We here in California shut-her-down first in the country and after attempting…
