War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Near dark this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley — another work week gone as 2022 rolls right along. Seems like it was only yesterday and Thursday. Funny-strange, but possible in our current time-blend-cross of a Twilight Zone-influenced Doctor Who episode. In that script, Ukraine continues to have all the action parts — a…
Near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, middle of another beautiful, deep-sunshine day, though, a bit chilly with frost earlier this morning. Meanwhile, on the Ukraine front and biggest items so far today — via the Guardian‘s live blog: Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy echoed Winston Churchill and invoked the fight against Nazism as he…
Approaching early-evening and darkness here this Monday in California’s Central Valley, and in the continuing plotline of the nowadays, it’s also near-upon 4 o’clock tomorrow morning in Ukraine. Beyond the death and destruction, this afternoon an ominous pile of future shit from China’s foreign minister Wang Yi, staying tight with Vlad Putin: ‘No matter how…
Again doomscrolling this afternoon to the music of Ukraine still afire, with the flames getting higher. And an update from the Guardian‘s live blog not too long ago — results about the same as yesterday, but further along in being worse: Russian forces stepped up overnight shelling of Ukrainian cities in the centre, north and…
Near noon Sunday in California’s Central Valley — even out here on the Left Coast, Ukraine is just a click or scroll away from the continuing horror of war. Vlad Putin and his boys are shown doing a bang-up job of displaying monster characteristics despite propaganda to the contrary back in Mother Russia. Control of…
Another Ukraine daily war episode — nearly a week’s worth now — and apparently from all indications the whole horrible affair could be nasty and long-lived until there’s an end or whatever nutcase Vlad Putin deems as an end, and the world titters on the tatters created by the action. Putin appears a number of…
Last night’s SOTU is now history, but Russians in Ukraine and Republicans in America keep clogging the news drain pipe this mid-day Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — warm again, too, feels like it’s getting warm all over the world. Enough of that shit, though, spot on — most-likely biggest news so far this morning…
Warm and bright-sunny this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — after several days of morning roof-top frost and overnight near-freezing temperatures, summer-approaching-like weather today, an indicator of the real heat to come. And contextually and seemingly as if a finger snap, we’re already nearly two months into 2022, and shit won’t let go.…
Entering the third day of the crazed, maladjusted invasion of Ukraine, Rachel Maddow set the standard in revealing the real asshole, piece of shit that’s Vlad Putin — a whine-fest way-anti-democratic and dangerous turd: Rachel back in full form last night after a six-week hiatus with a precise sizing-up of Vlad and the object of…
Beyond Ukraine this morning, but still on just how extremely awful are Republicans and why we’ll probably never get a true handle on the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a problem not of the so-called, and touted ‘misinformation’ tactic, but of plain-old out-n-out lying. Vaccines with boosters prevent serious illness, and even death — pure fact.…
