War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A grifter’s grind. (Illustration found here). In a world gone near-mad with shitstorms festering all over — war in Ukraine, democracy in peril, crazy-ass truckers are closing down cities, and now T-Rump has a literary grift with the same inept, lazy and fact-free menu like all of anything he’s involved with or is around. A…
Ominously well-warm near-mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re much-too-quickly working our way into a new year with summer just around the hot-as-shit corner. Once in a while, you come across something that epitomizes sorry-ass rich people. Published now nearly a month ago, I only just saw it this morning at the great Miss…
Another warm day here in California’s Central Valley, any distinction between just ‘warm‘ and ‘hot‘ swiftly fading from our daily weather. Summer in these parts is grossly livable — we experience way-too-few weeks of the somewhat ‘cool‘ days of spring, then seemingly way-quickly months of furnace-like brightness, accelerating from April to May leading to the…
(Illustration found here). Once again today more weird-ass shit on how the T-Rump is a ridiculous piece of cruel turd as paper clogging, not-flushing toilets are now topping the news cycle. The asshole responds: ‘“Another fake story, that I flushed papers and documents down a White House toilet, is categorically untrue and simply made up…
Some specimens in the Republican mindset nowadays — one frame after another. Despite the age, racism, and whiteness: Nutshell via CNN late this afternoon: Beatty, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, said in a string of tweets, “Today, while heading to the House floor for votes, I respectfully asked my colleague @RepHalRogers to put on…
One of the massive problems facing the political airwaves as we approach this coming November ballot box — liars have their own cable-news network. And like the T-Rump, just don’t give a shit: Rupar is way-great at observing/watching Fox News — glutton for punishment or something — and his newsletter covers the horror the operation…
In the genre of ‘no wonder,’ Adam Kinzinger this morning revealed what he’d tell his newborn son about the T-Rump: ‘“That’s going to be something I think in 5 or 10 years is going to be hard to explain, if you’re not on the side of truth … I’m going to tell him he was…
Instead of political bullshit — surfed the InterWebs this afternoon/early evening, but nothing odd or significant to catch the eye — I instead listened to the main title of one of my way-most-favorite movies, “Lawrence of Arabia,” with the music by the great Maurice Jarre. The scene of the film opening and bits of the…
(Illustration: Graph per NASA/JPL-Caltech, and found here). Bright sunshine and warming temps this near-mid-day Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, another beauty seemingly ahead of its time. The state has been in a perpetual cycle of an aggravating ‘weather/climate whiplash,’ which creates early summer and won’t go away. This morning a climate-change post with a…
Even as the T-Rump makes open admissions of overturning the last election, and as democracy dangles in the balance, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot — “…the mother of all investigations and a quantum leap for Congress…” — is actually plowing the legal field: “It’s not a criminal investigation, but having experienced…
