War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Pleasant late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on a downswing of some hot-ass days last week and maybe the holiday weekend ahead will at least be nice, weather-wise. And less anxiety-wise, too. One fetching story today is a kind of follow-up to my post this morning on the tale of Cassidy Hutchinson,…
One of the more-interesting, on-topic features I spotted today concerns those ‘omnipresent‘ White House aides, of which Cassidy Hutchinson is currently way-prominent, most-especially even as a former one: Highlights from Zak’s must-read piece at The Washington Post this morning: Washington is run by aides, or at least it runs on the work of aides: the…
Cool in the shade this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a much easier, nicer day with just a hint of a breeze, temperatures just in the 90s. Evidence of the hot-heat in the valley recently, temps ‘just in the 90s‘ — a new normal of weather when hot is found to be relative…
Exciting life nowadays. In the midst of shit, a glimmer of positive news — via SciTechDaily: ‘Just in time for worldwide Asteroid Day: a threatening space rock lingered at the top of risk lists around the globe for months, with a real chance of striking Earth on April 2, 2052. Now, ESA’s asteroid team working…
In a period of dark, ominous shit, the backlash off the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade last week might have added fuel to the Democrat side of the voting aisle, and maybe will prove a positive factor in the midterms in November. Some poll work, hopefully, points the way — at Salon this afternoon:…
Despite the dramatic, eyeball-opening testimony yesterday from Cassidy Hutchinson before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup, the Republican party itself will most likely keep shitting our country’s mess kit and will just punch harder against reality. And not seek higher ground from the horror of the T-Rump. Cancer on the presidency and America…
Even a nice wind can’t mitigate the heat this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. A most-singular item with handling weather nowadays is whether you can actually weather the weather. In such nonsense, a contextual angle to all that shit is American democracy received high-weather marks today with…
As we wait for the reported appearance of Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to the nit-witted, nefarious Mark Meadows, to testify live before the Jan. 6 committee hearing, expected to start in about an hour, let’s jump on a personal subject for a second or two. My recently self-published novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,”…
Surprise, surprise this morning from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup — despite saying last week the hearings would be on a month-long hiatus, the group will hold one tomorrow. Maybe some drama unfolding (Axios): ‘Why it matters: Members of the panel had said they planned to postpone their remaining hearings until July.…
Hot with just a hint of a breeze this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — summer be here already in full force. Pleasant Valley Sundays a dream memory. Writing this blog — Compatible Creatures — for now more than 15 years (April 22, 2007), I usually have a subject matter for each post,…
