War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine and breezy this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — weekend’s fine but shit doesn’t stop/close down on Friday. A terrible case in point comes naturally as Ukrainians clear the flailing Russian army from towns around Kyiv and other parts of the country, and along with the devastated infrastructure, the horror of senseless…
Warm sunshine this Friday late-afternoon here in California’s Central Valley. as we inch closer and closer to the heat of summer. Weather the hot storm to come is the only avenue for us, for everybody. Especially with democracy in the shape it’s in right now. Despite an economy booming and plenty of jobs out there,…
News cycling through time creates a sense of funny (not necessarily ha-ha funny, though) and draws from a seemingly way-deep well of assorted, vile subject matter, from the absolute horror of T-Rump to the overall horror of Republicans, there’s no end of them nowadays. Lying about everything is the Republican way — elections are stolen,…
Near noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another brown-cloud day as we spin the last day of March from a quickening 2022 calendar, a fourth of the once-labeled ‘new year’ about gone already with the approach of the appropriately tagged April Fool’s Day tomorrow. Of course, don’t be an optimist as way-more ugly…
Overcast with a brownish tint to the air this Wednesday early evening here in California’s Central Valley — appears as a weird combination of a tule fog remanent and forest fire smoke, though, no fires statewide as of yet.

America is not immune to political/illegal shenanigans — and the criminal enterprise that was the T-Rump era in the Oval Office looks to have been the most corrupt, good-grief awful governmental operation in our history. And apparently, he became increasingly way-more villainous and ignorant toward the end. Here it is late in the afternoon, and…
Maybe some good news out of Ukraine this Tuesday morning — peace talks progressing and Vlad Putin’s incompetent, crazed army might lighten up to encourage a possible ‘off-ramp’ to the horror show: Details via CNN late this morning: Russia said it would “drastically reduce” its military assault on the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv…
Rain and some wind this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central valley — some heavy downpour last night but just a few sprinkles most of today; was somewhat dense earlier this afternoon but didn’t last long. Rain in California nowadays is as scarce as the T-Rump being prosecuted/convicted for being a criminal asshole. In context…
Cloudy with rain showers on the horizon this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. Weekends have always blown by in time, though, nowadays there’s not much space between Friday evening and Sunday night/Monday morning. Too much shit spatter from all directions seemingly all at once One aspect of that shit is Republicans — in…
In the outreaches of how terrible Vlad Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the weight of an unhinged view of reality Putin has could mean the Ukrainian war crime will continue until there’s either a ‘Korean scenario‘ established or just a military grind-down for all concerned — especially acute is the dismal, cruel failure of the entire…
