War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Doomscrolling truly in surfing the news this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — shit, I could be anywhere and would still come across story after fucking story of shit happening, most sorry to say, preventable to some degree. Even a high school shooting tossed in for good measure, just to break the horrid,…
A faded-thin Mars ambiance to our environment again this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley, an unwelcome aspect after a few days of near-normal weather of bright sunshine and clear-blue skies — now life outside is all rusty brown. Off the local NWS forecast for today and this weekend uses the words ‘widespread haze,’…
As a nation, we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place — the rock is the COVID Delta variant, and the hard place are Republicans — even with a vaccine receiving FDA approval, the death cult is intent on killing all of us: Yet first, they’re killing themselves — the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle…
A warm comfortable outside this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we haven’t felt the rigorous heat reportedly scorching through the Pacific Northwest, but the day is still young. Today, too, is purportedly the day the T-Rump will be reinstated as POTUS — at least to the bat-shit crazy QAnon/Republican freaks who cause…
Weird shit facing America from the right side of the fruit bowl: Classic philosophy — nihilism — for a gut-wrenching portion of our country, who are working tooth-and-nail to destroy what’s left standing — this item originated with an op/ed this morning at The Washington Post by Max Boot, a former Republican, a supporter of…
In the current stock of things this Monday afternoon — like Greece. Today the CDC put Greece and 15 other countries on a “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High” shit list for Americans to travel due to the surge of the Delta variant, while at the same time, Greece itself is in a weather meltdown. Climate change…
Some more climate-related items for this Thursday afternoon as the weekend looms just ahead — another wrecked week of weird. A special day today, sort of hand-in-hand with climate change and the environment — Earth Overshoot Day: Greed pretty-much is the origin story for CO2-fed climate change, and a real, up-close view of the self-centered…
A couple of items this Thursday morning that seem to project just what a miserable state-of-affairs is the entire Republican Party — lying, delusional and nasty is their entire bag. Mo Brooks, the asshole from my birth state of Alabama (don’t look down at me, everybody’s got to be from somewhere), will most-likely be forced…
Serious news all day — this morning testimony/a review of a terrible-ass insurrection; while this afternoon a slide back in the struggle to get a grip on the COVID-19 virus — the former, all politics and dying, and the latter, horribly also all politics and dying. Republicans and the T-Rump have a lot to answer…
Dominating the news cycle this Tuesday morning by a way-long shot is the opening session of the House Select Committee on the Jan.6 attack on the US Capitol, and began at the most-correct point — testimony from four police officers who defended the building that day. And the all-around best response to the hearing, which…
