War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Warm and brown-tinted overcast this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and summer clings to us like the horror of seeing T-Rump play golf. In my post earlier today on the maybe/seemingly dismal future for American democracy, the picture does look bleak, but a real bright spot I failed to mention with the T-Rump…
This country is indeed in frightful, dispiriting peril. A for instance: In response to the terrible Texas law, House Democrats this morning passed the Women’s Health and Protection Act, which would establish a federal right to abortion — and to no shock/surprise the measure passed on party lines: ‘With the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, presiding…
A brown tint to the air this Tuesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, most-likely smoke off the KNP Complex/Windy fires burning in the Sequoia National Park southeast from where I’m sitting on my ass — at last report, the huge sequoias, including the General Sherman Tree, are unscathed, but the fire zones seem to…
(Illustration: ‘A Wall Made of Fruitcakes,’ by Dave Whamond, and found here). In the context of T-Rump being mentally unstable — i.e., the whole Gen. Milley affair — here’s another instance of assholes in high places knowing the orange turd was nuts, but said nothing and allowed shit to happen. Prior to even the 2016…
Big-bang item in the news cycle this Tuesday morning — beyond the Gavin Newsom recall election out here in California (hope to do a post on it later today) — is another horrible inside look at the clusterfuck of T-Rump’s final days in the White House. He’s a known mental menace for America — all…
Congenial and clear sunshine this mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley, with both the actual physical meteorology and the political weather expected to heat up as time moves through the day — tomorrow the state once again is strapped into a governor-recall election with dire consequences if it succeeds. The whole shebang is wingnuttery…
Cool and way-comfortable this mid-day Saturday in California’s Central Valley after a week of triple-digit temperatures and real-heavy air — a day of national remembrance of horrific airliner attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, along with Flight 93 ending up in a Pennsylvania field. A way-historic day, maybe right up there with…
As we stand this Thursday morning, America’s version of democracy is on the ropes. Latest assault on our system came from/in Texas, and was nearly hidden by an oversized, cruel abortion law, a free-for-all gun law, and a shitload of the state’s citizens suffering and dying from COVID — Asshat Abbott on Tuesday signed into…
Although the T-Rump has been gone from office nearly nine months, his inbred-toxic hatred of humanity remains deeply embedded within Republicans, and just about every day (maybe twice/three times a day) they prove cruelty is the point. Today no exception as Greg Abbott once again flourished with a pure, and complete, lack of self-awareness, or…
Warm and near-about comfortable this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — first day of the ‘fall season,’ a time zone which usually lasts until about Halloween, then the holiday season kicks in, amping shit up higher. In the nowadays, though, all past ‘normal’ bets are off, due to the ugly fact crazy shit’s…
