War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, near-closing out another nice autumn day, though, a bit on a more warmish side than normal the last week or so, but still simply nice. Unlike — leading from the lede — the US House of Representatives and the continuing circle-jerk festival Republicans have employed the last two…
Soft, warm sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, another example of a really comfortable fall season — so far. Weather-wise OK, but not so ‘comfortable‘ overall being in the nowadays — such as this afternoon. In a short interval of less than a couple of hours (an attempt at a nap) news…
Indeed Saturday night’s a good time for violence against democracy: Political consultant Trygve Olson, and senior advisor with The Lincoln Project, in an interview published last week at Salon, notes the violence abundant with T-Rump and the Republican brand: I have found that universally, autocratic actors – and Trump is one – use six tactics…
Thickly overcast with just a slight sprinkle this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although we got rain-hammered last night, hopefully, the most-potent downpour is gone for a while. An ‘atmospheric river’ that collided with the coast yesterday will still play out in more wetness and subsequent flooding for days to come. Water…
Warm but pleasant this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly below normal temperatures the last few days (and felt it, too!), but back to triple-digits by the weekend as summer quickly drags to a close. Weather nowadays is just weather inside a Twilight Zone episode. Along with a shitload of other stuff,…
A way-clear example of just how really, really screwed this country is right now, when two cmplete asshole-liars and most-shitty of people churn-up the bubble-living old folks of south Florida into a scream-like rant of delusion and fantasy, which apparently has no bounds. The statement, “I seen it on TV,” doesn’t really do justice to…
(Illustration: ‘Reptiles,’ by MC Escher, 1943 (Lithograph), and found here). One of the more-ugly aspects of GaetzGate for me is that the asshole represents the area where I grew up — the Florida panhande. I spent most of my youth there, from third grade through high school graduation (attending Choctawhatchee High School in Fort Walton…
Warm-bordering-on-hot this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, with deep, yellow sunshine adding to the sense of heat — summer’s coming way-soon and it’s going to be long and hard. In the news, Republicans top the cycle again for being assholes and nasty-ass fuckers, emitting foul shit from leaning into The Big Lie to…
