War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Still hot without much air movement close to noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — legal summertime, so there’s no crime. Just sweat and a longing for soft rain in a patching drought. Also at the same time there’s a yearning for justice in that continuing seemingly disregard in accountability for the mass of…
Another end to another workweek this Friday early evening and the start to a couple of days to reboot. A post on reflection about the TV audience for those Jan. 6 hearings — the last in the original series last night, supposedly more hearings most likely set for September as more evidence and testimony fill…
Summer continues this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. — hot but soothed by a gentle breeze, making it not really all that unpleasant in the shade. As we await the start of the Jan. 6 hearing this evening, I doomscrolled the InterWebs and amidst the shit-stories from all over, I did encounter some…
Beyond the miserable heat, a depressing aspect of the nowadays is the most-likelihood of T-Rump and the large cesspool of his cronies could skate on crimes of insurrection/riot/coup after losing the 2020 election. The vacumn of Merrick Garland’s energy sucks up into an empty paper bag. One note of a decent vibe comes from Georgia…
Hot, heavy air this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — although reportedly we didn’t top 100 again today, the sheer feel of the day created some hot-ass ambiance to the out-of-doors. Temperatures are sometimes not the only discomfort indicator — summer! In an afternoon of doomscrolling the InterWebs for news about everything, and…
One of the big questions nowadays in American politics is not really whether the T-Rump will run again in 2024, but when will he announce — odds are soon. Via The Washington Post this morning: ‘The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for…
A pleasant late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, sunshine, but without the intense heat. Forecasts for today were wrong, which does happen on occasion. In sending the T-Rump to jail, a new poll has found a lot of Americans know he’s guilty of criminal acts, leading maybe to sedition. Democracy at stake: Details via…
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
In the ever-continuing slow-walking display of justice, the announcement today of another T-Rump lawyer to testify before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup just might be the bridge to getting an indictment against the T-Rump, and then maybe a jail cell for the asshole. One knows hope springs eternal — except with Merrick…
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…
