War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Musing on writing as a form: A flashback post, and igniting were thoughts generated on the mechanics of writing, as for me, personally. And despite a way-shitload of subject matter, could sometimes feel no real emotional plea to sit at my laptop and formulate the appropriate words. In some way, the literary desire has been…
Overcast skies with a semblance of rain-to-come this late-afternoon Saturday in California’s Central Valley. Rain was forecast for today, but so far we’ve been high and dry. Maybe later: The annual White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner is tonight — shit ain’t the same in T-Rump time, making it sour-like to squeeze humor out of…
Fear is the accepted standard for the T-Rump: Looks like only the single survives. And it’s getting scary tight — from The New York Times last week: ‘People on both sides of the aisle who would normally be part of the public dialogue about the big issues of the day say they are intimidated by…
He does as he is: In daily/hourly reflections on our current situation resulting from numerous news scrolls, the best overview/description of the T-Rump I’ve seen lately came this morning from Paul Campos at Lawyers, Guns, Money: Donald Trump is disgusting. He is physically disgusting: the sight of a nearly 80-year-old man primping himself into a…
An alteration for the current nowadays: I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence And so the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations…
Weekend times as the world flashes insane. Despite acting presidential, Joe Biden continues having the skewered US media after his ass (The Conversation last week): ‘Journalism skeptics who have been observing the coverage after the debate have consequently concluded that journalists are trying to turn the public against Biden so that he drops out of…
Awaiting the sound of fireworks this late-afternoon Thursday, July 4th, Independence Day, here in California’s Central Valley — explosions in stifling heat are wondrous. We’re sitting at 105 degrees right now with darkness and the fireworks still a couple/three hours away. In the wake of the SCOTUS immunity decision and subsequent shitstorm this week, and…
The Joe Biden old/unable-to-serve drama continues without fail. Joe has to go — or so say a shitload of media types and supposedly Democrat-party heavies (except for lefty blogs who refer to chilling out and letting Joe go forth) and none with sense. In this case, I think Joe should continue the run, there’s still…
Another start to another work week, and this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley finds us edging closer and closer to November and to an election beholding to none in recent memory. In response to his graphic speech at another lie-infested rally this past weekend — T-Rump described a “bloodbath” in the US if…
Journalism as practiced by the MSM once again: In the wake of Mike Pence’s mock-ass verbiage yesterday that he “cannot in good conscience” endorse the T-Rump for president without actually revealing who’d get his vote: ‘Pence did not reveal who he’ll vote for in the 2024 general election, saying that he’ll keep “my vote to…
