War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine galore and still on-the-cool-side temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in Californnia’s Central Valley — a few more days of similar weather, where then the heat and bluster of summer will be upon us. According to the NWS for our locale, near triple-digit temps due by the end of next week, and on into the…
Today in memory of those KIA in our country’s historically many far-flung wars, a reminder of those currently dying in the really-way asymmetrical war within America (NBC News): ‘A spate of shootings across the United States left at least 16 people dead and dozens injured over Memorial Day weekend. The gun violence occurred at beaches,…
End of another work week this Friday evening, Republicans are homeward bound from Congress, and the country is going to shit in a wire basket — at least until June 5, so says Janet Yellen, then who knows. Meanwhile and despite the noise, T-Rump has just finished a most-shitty week himself, which couldn’t have happened…
Passing the week towards the Memorial Day holiday and further upwards into Republican bullshit. They love to see others fail — more power to the party: True realistic American reality, pushed by the MAGA-Republican whiners: And the actual actuality of governing: And a pop to the future continuing today: Crazy to say at the way…
Sunshine and early-spring-like temperatures this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — these days are the ones we’ll fondly remember in about another month or so. Or maybe earlier. I’ve got a feeling summer’s going to be a hot bitch, and not the good kind either. Also, a bitch still this morning is Ron…
Multi-whammy news day as politics got sadly tapped to the back burner by the death of a musical icon — all over the InterWebs cycle: Tina Turner passes at 83. She carried some talented weight for a long, long time on a number of brilliant levels. I’ve been infatuated with her since the early 1970s…
Sunshine again, but with cooler temperatures this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. The major linchpin cruising through today’s news cycle is the angry debt ceiling reality deadline approaching at the end of this month. Republicans, of course, are still holding the discussions hostage with a desire to sink the country if they can’t…
Sunshine and warm skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — once again, a day in the life. News nowadays makes me more than a little depressed. I doomscroll the InterWebs seeking ideas for a post and get so shitty-assed gloomy I don’t want to set at the laptop and write. Over the…
Sunshine and warmth this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Instead of the horrific political news, how about some horrific environmental news — climate change is here and growing worse. Although there have been warnings blaring for decades, the extreme weather shit scenario is about to hit the fan quickly and could be even…
In an age of uncharted, crazy shit the violence of living seems like a heavy, quick-approaching virus instigated by being frighteningly fearful of people one to another. Gun violence, of course, but also just random, political-influenced shit, as in the use of a baseball bat in an insane lash out at society as a fractured…
