War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Hot sunshine returned this Tuesday morning here in California’s Central Valley — after a few days of clouds/overcast skies and some lower temperatures, the heat of summer returns today as we’re forecast to hit triple digits later in the afternoon. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi showed her grit earlier when she arrived in Taiwan for a visit…
Despite all the vaccinations and safety protocols, the COVID virus has turned into a bitch, apparently mutating into various variants that make it hard for everybody/anyone to escape its touch. Here in California (as in many parts of the country), we’ve got a current surge that might top last winter’s Omicron outbreak. What’s happening? Kent…
Bright with a brisk wind this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly the first day on a run of a-many sunshine-filled days ahead along with increasing temperatures as summer looms like a swollen and dry lymph node. Non-relative humor and insanity work best sometimes when it just gets too crazy to be…
Midweek news wash with a shitload of all kinds of news — Ukraine to Greg Abbott being an idiot with a ton of bullshit in between — during a scroll of two/three/four, I found this flashback to the T-Rump and just how really, really horrible he is and will always be, even in the physical…

And not only Biden contending with a massive virus-induced pandemic, a treacherous, cruel Republican party, and now an…
