War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick overcast and looking like rain this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we had some last night, but none so far today, though, it appears ready to unleash a torrent at any time. Whether how to weather the weather is the big question. Meanwhile, way-back East and the DC circus — I’m…
Election day 2021 with mostly all-eyes on the Virginia governor’s race, along with contests for mayor in Boston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, New York, and Buffalo (NY), with horrible one-sided races — Democrats want to govern, Republicans want to lie and whine about the evils of all kinds of shit without a thought on voters real concerns.…
One depressing sign of the times unseen by apparently a shitload of Americans — one party (Democrats) are focused on helping people, attempting to enact policies that give aid to families, while on the other political hand, the only other party in this country (Republicans) do not give a shit about anything but power and…
Across the great divide of Red and Blue America, the MAGA hatters, anti-mask nutcases currently making life feel worse have been seething underground forever waiting for someone like the T-Rump to come along and plug them into the socket of openness and riot. In the context of crazy — this event last Sunday at a…
Although Republicans/MAGA hatters/Q-balls hate vaccine and mask mandates, the COVID-19 virus loves them — yesterday Texas nit-twit Gov. Greg Abbott idiotized an executive order barring private companies or any other entity from requiring vaccines, this in a state where 67,000 people have already died, with most-likely many more to come. It’s been noted before that…
In America’s never-ending, near-continuous daily unfoldings of T-Rump’s Big Lie bullshit and his unprecedented attempts to keep on being president even after obviously losing the November election, today another chapter — the Orange Turd tried to weaponize the DOJ to overturn the whole shebang. The Senate Judiciary Committee released a 400-page report, aptly entitled, “Subverting…
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…
Cool and comfortable this mid-day Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as apparently-obvious we’re into the autumn season — if only it stayed this way. Winter, however, is now one day closer. Dying in the US has taken a sizeable upswing the last couple of years, not only with the COVID pandemic, but we as…
Three months ago, there was a glimmer of hope in the COVID pandemic, but now a shit scene, and doesn’t look like it will be any better soon — from the Associated Press yesterday: The summer that was supposed to mark America’s independence from COVID-19 is instead drawing to a close with the U.S. more…
Another major red-flag warning on the here-and-now-but-worse-in-the-immediate-future thingie of climate change — a call from professionals/scientists to turn the boat — yesterday a big editorial: Nutshell via HuffPost this morning: A coalition of more than 220 of the planet’s leading medical and public health journals issued an urgent rallying cry to address climate change on…
