War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine with a cool breeze this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we try and make it through the shit piled-up around our ears. One aspect of this shit is the astounding, unmitigated gall of Republicans to switch truth in reality to lying in the open and getting pissed when called on it.…
January’s insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building is still fresh in the air, but the ghastly event was perpetrated by self-centered dimwits like this coffee-shop owner in Ohio: ‘“If you voted for Joe Biden, don’t buy our coffee, it’s not for you,” he said. “If you feel that America is on the right track and…

Even as the days churn onward, climate change is a most-persistent bitch and will only get way-worse if no heavy-duty steps are taken, and the way the situation is building — even beyond racism and political insurrection in the US, toxic social media is compounding the problem of challenging global warmimg: ‘“One…
Another Sunday under the near-suffocating blanket of the COVID-19 pandemic, and although case numbers are falling and the vaccine-jabbing is gaining speed, the optimism which filled the airwaves the last week or so seems a bit farfetched and maybe a bit premature. According to the John Hopkins data-board, the US has experienced 542,199 COVID deaths…
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.‘…

Paul Waldman at The Washington Post earlier today: ‘But what it shows is that the federal government is in many ways still gripped…
Fucked-up Fox News — this is literally insane: Details on this great and wonderous moment via The Washington Post this morning: President Biden on Friday morning stumbled several times as he climbed the stairs to Air Force One to board a flight to Atlanta, where he and Vice President Harris planned to meet with Asian…
(Illustration found here). Memory is a weird-ass commodity, especially as you get older. Events, people, places and things are stored in the brain and are supposedly right there for whenever needed, with or without being invited, and sometimes with or without that recollection being real. Twenty years seems a long time, but in reality, it’s…
A major problem in Amerca right now is the Republican Party. They’re all assholes. As a nation we’re facing a massivce health event — COVID-19, whch has already claimed 550,000 American lives in just a bit more than a year — with the way-added weight of the economic fallout off the virus (770,000 unemployment claims…
The mass murders in the Atlanta area yesterday is another kicker for racism influenced by the nasty, racists years of the T-Rump and his swaddling Republican enablers — fear and cruelty the point: The three shootings Tuesday that killed eight people, six of them Asian women, has dramatically increased the sense of fear in the…
