War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast with on-and-off sprinkling showers this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — fairly-heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, so we’re going to be wet for a couple of days. In scrolling the news this afternoon — and today mostly — did run across a couple of tweets that seemed to tie together the horror…
Scrolling through the news this Friday afternoon, I came across some items of interest. Firsr, I hate optimism when it comes to polls, but I do want to feel good: Nutshell details at The New York Times this morning: The surprising Democratic strength has been bolstered by falling gas prices and President Biden’s success at…
Wonderful weather this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, in fact, probably as good-as-it-gets around these parts — temps in the low 70s, clear with plenty of sunshine, as seemingly autumn be here a few days early. Meanwhile, back to shitty — Republicans are becoming more-obvious in being cruel assholes: And way stupid —…
Legal shit pertaining to the T-Rump world is always a stall-ass clusterfuck of delays. This evening another setback in the Mar-a-Lago document affair — judge asshole again:: From the Lawfare blog this evening: Dearie has been in federal judicial service since 1986, when he was appointed by Ronald Reagan and served as chief judge from…
Another T-Rump White House tell-all book offers up the starling news the Orange Turd is a horrible, horrible human being and way-fucking mentally disturbed. Surprised? Of course not.

Sunshine savored by a cool breeze this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, a welcomed turnabout from the awful summer heat, especially the blister from the last couple of weeks — temperatures right now in the mid-70s with maybe a high of 85 later on this afternoon. And of the weather influenced by climate…
Beyond whether or not the T-Rump will attend the funeral for Queen Elizabeth, the war in Ukraine is again nailing the top news story for the day — and a bonus is how the Ukrainian military played the Russkies like a cheap-suited fiddle in a way-low-brow chess match: In a quick-read essay this morning at…
Partly overcast with dollops of clouds mingled with sharp sunshine this late-afternoon Sunday in California’s Central Valley — first time in a decent-sized while it’s not unpleasant outside with temps now down in the 80s. Although the NWS shows heavy rain all around us, the middle of the valley will most-likely not see any wet…
Humid-hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day in a few weeks we didn’t see triple-digit temperatures. California has been cooking and we’re now forecast for mild weather for a while. Odd environment in southern California tonight, going from a dry-bake to flooding is a matter of hours. Amid news…
