War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Is the T-Rump going under or what? Time will not tell: Did the T-Rump just misspeak as he has tons of times before? Or it’s the itch of keeping a lid on such a most-prominent lie that caused him to spout off — via Salon this afternoon: The former president made the admission while discussing…
Overcast and cold this early Wednesday evening here in California’s Central Valley — a rainy out-of-doors, too. We do feel like it’s raining all over the world, especially among the imbecilic. An example of knowing one and being one — Tony Blair, famous from the Iraqi war days of yore and who most-likely has some…
As Republicans slowly-swiftly strangle democracy at the voting booth, there doesn’t seem to be much we can do, other than get as many people out to vote next November as possible. Until then: Shitty details via NBC News yesterday: State Republicans spent 2021 hunting for the widespread voter fraud that former President Donald Trump told…
Fallout off Joe Manchin’s back-stabbing Joe Biden’s Build Back Better act continues to flare and fester, especially as it’s known Manchin is just being a asshole-douchebag — news right-off-the-bat this morning and his core realities (HuffPost): Publicly, his biggest gripes are about the cost of the bill. But privately, Manchin has told his colleagues that…
Dense, chilly fog here mid-day Sunday in California’s Central Valley, a full-scale return to our ‘tule fog‘ bullshit once again after some rain last week, with the version this morning a thick, near-opaque gray in absolutely-zero wind — zilch in any kind of movement. A simile in the ugly Joe ‘MonsterMash’ Manchin — : In…
As the COVID pandemic appears to be getting ready to hit the high-surge button again, this particular virus news story this morning was not top of a lot of media lists, usually well down on homepages — maybe we already knew this shit, or something (per CNN): Trump administration officials made “deliberate efforts to undermine…
Awaiting the clouds to roll away this mid-day Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, in a move that hopefully will spark some supposed sunshine this afternoon — no rain forecast until next week. Weathering the non-weather is key. One shitty non-weather thing Republicans continually do (among a buttload of things) is downplay or deny something…
People and events in the news and how they are portrayed to the American public is one of the reasons this country is probably up shit creek without a paddle. Beyond the media roar from last night when the House select committee read aloud text messages sent to Mark Meadows on Jan. 6 from all…
Rain and wet coldness this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on the softer-end of an atmospheric river that’s supposed to really bring the state some rain and snow this week. Weather is as weather does. And this evening, another fine example of fraudsters, scammers, and grifters making hay — except when…
First up above all else for a second this Monday morning — a great, big thank-you to tengrain, who wondrously blogs at Mock Paper Scissors, and who while handling Mike’s Blog Round-up this week at Crooks&Liars, gave this humble, lowly blog a much-appreciated great shout-out today. Tengrain has done it more than once before, so…
