War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Interesting in the context of civil unrest, the military side of the T-Rump bluster has turned the coin: Since the T-Rump’s ‘dominate’ rant, his blubbering about instigating the Insurrection Act, and subsequent walk to the church Monday evening the shit has hit the military fan. Not only are protesters protesting the T-Rump White House, but…
Hot to say the least this Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — just turning 6 PM and it’s still 100-freaking-degrees, and apparently won’t really be tepid until well after dark. Tomorrow the same with a forecast high of 106. Then some cooling through the weekend. Summer, summer hitherto not here… And again today protests across…
Overcast and mostly quiet this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Seemingly, with every day an acceleration of a shitty ride further into calamity. And today no exception: Hysteria over this is natural, but the T-Rump is only playing the only way he knows, with cruelty. This afternoon he staged a photo-op to showcase,…
As the nation becomes violently unglued, the T-Rump is finally feeling some of the distaste the country has for him — interesting situation as relayed by the New York Times this afternoon: Inside the White House, the mood was bristling with tension. Hundreds of protesters were gathering outside the gates, shouting curses at President Trump…
Overcast and breezy, a cool-feeling supposedly 80-degrees this Sunday afternoon in California’s Central Valley. Sitting in my daughter’s small, cozy backyard, I catch occasional glimmers of sunshine, but the scene mostly emoting an ambiance of an old black-and-white movie with brief flashes of color. Another heat burst upcoming, maybe temps in triple digits by mid-week.…
In continuing protests of the police killing of George Floyd earlier this week in Minneapolis, several hundred people converged today on downtown Merced to show solidarity for the cause, and lend support for African-Americans being killed by police. Demonstrations have occurred all over the country, from Minnesota to New York to California — a federal…
Near mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and finally a day not so blistering hot — we saw a week of triple-digit temperatures, topping out yesterday at 105-degrees. As of right now ‘just‘ 80, supposedly heading later this afternoon to a high of 95, though, I don’t seen it getting there. A crater-drop in…
Another buzz in California’s Central Valley this Wednesday afternoon, and once again a-walking Leroy along a portion of the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, located in that self-same valley. Also another example of Leroy not really wanting to walk, especially maybe too early in the morning, but off we went anyway for a short…
A sunny and breezy early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Big, white clouds, too, and a cool-ish temperature (70-degrees right now) and an unfamiliar feel to the air — we had some fairly-heavy hail yesterday afternoon, and looked like rain this morning. Blogging outside again with a pix of the scene. I’m retired, so…
Overcast and damp this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Humid, too, after raining on-and-off nearly all day. Better than the heat and we need the rain. Major news of the day, so far, comes of course from the T-Rump — per The Washington Post this evening: President Trump announced Monday that he is…
