War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as the weekend quickly comes to a close in seemingly record time — and starting tomorrow another high-speed workweek consisting of an overflowing outhouse of every kind-of-bad-shit. Rain forecast for here tomorrow, too, so there’s that, but again, a shit-kick in the wind. I saw this earlier and…
Sunny and warm this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — midweek muddles.

Bright, sunny late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central valley — windy and a bit still on the refreshing side even with Thursday and Friday forecast for 90-degrees or worse.

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.

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…
Clear and windy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — winter’s officially over! Earlier this morning (8:33 AM PDT) there sprang the March equinox — also called the vernal equinox — and the first day of spring. In turn, this day only means the burn season is quickly coming upon us. Meanwhile, Ukraine…
Yesterday, working the war in Ukraine proved deadly dangerous for everyone and a recipe for sorrow struck again: Details via New York Magazine late this afternoon: Veteran Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova, 24, were killed in Ukraine on Monday when the vehicle they and Fox News correspondent Benjamin…
The invasion/war crime in Ukraine brings out the real spunk for humanity even as Vlad Putin and his incompetent army revels in cruelty, there’s a shitload of people after the truth — even in Russia. Just one example of courage: Story via the Guardian this afternoon: Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at Channel One, burst on…
Approaching the noon hour here this Monday in California’s Central Valley — in the news cycle headlines, it’s getting near 10 PM in Ukraine, as the invasion/war is bombing-out in more ways than one. Russia is apparently up to its ass in shit. In their bravery and mettle, the Ukrainians have shown a terrible bright…
