War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica,’ found here). Near-clear and chilly this Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — mostly sunny today, though, some cloud coverage throughout, and on the dunes at Little River Beach, the scene was way-nice, and warm, too. The dunes make for a most-excellent wind break. Supposedly dry and sometimes-sunny until Wednesday,…
Just when the black-comedy shit gets real, and it’s WTF: One of the few actual capabilities of the T-Rump is in sowing uneducated chaos — an acknowledgment of that talent last month from Joe Balash, assistant secretary for land and minerals with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, speaking podium-wise at a conference for folks…
In some regard to our current state of life — one of the most-inflictive musical sounds coming via a sensual-philosophical motif from long, long ago, but not-all-that-far away: During the mid-to-late 1990s. I was first a customer, then worked as a barista, and even at one point managed one of the greatest public business/entity ever, the…

Sunshine-warm this early Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — drizzled a bit earlier, but still managed to take the dogs to the Ma-le’l Dunes awhile, but apparently should have stayed longer as it’s been dry for the last couple of hours. However, the NWS…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Old Man in Sorrow (On the Threshold of Eternity)‘ found here). Worse than vile, or just an asshole motherfucker — the T-Rump tweeted this morning: Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here). As predicted by the NSA: Early-afternoon Tuesday here on California’s north coast can be summed-up in two words — rain and wind, though so far, seemingly more wind than rain. Maybe dry on Thursday, but we’ll just wait and see…what else’s to do? Farther adrift, life may not be…
(Illustration above: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman,’ found here). Punch-back is in the wind — good attitude already from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who today took rightful-issue with White House spin-noddle Kellyanne Conway on reality, not “alternative facts.” Conway is a way-weirdo, odd looking, with a husband seemingly an exact political opposite — a freakish version of the…
Once again, Argentina doesn’t cry: Something moronic and oafish comes our way, represents us on a literal world stage: After pausing for a couple photos, Trump is seen on video shaking Macri’s hand and then walking off stage. Macri tries to beckon him back, to no avail, and an aide is seen pursuing the confused…
Another Monday here on California’s north coast, and another lark of sorrow — the T-Rump’s hard-headed, bat-shit-crazy take on that devastating climate-change report from last Friday (HuffPost): “I don’t believe it,” he told reporters outside the White House before boarding Air Force One for a flight to Mississippi. The president also attempted to place the…
Sunny but chilled by a sea breeze this Thursday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, another day in the life. Since the midterms, I’ve become even-more wary of the T-Rump’s mental state. Always mean, back-stabbing and cruel-crazy, as noted at the Daily Beast this morning. Trump has repeatedly—and sometimes for a sustained period of time—made fun…
