War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A kind of Respite Friday — drizzling rain on-and-off all day here on my little speck in California’s Central Valley. Maybe more like a breathing-space day with the explosion of events already in just three weeks of a new year, which was supposed to be at least fractionally better than 2020. The news cycle appears…
Among a stacked-high plate President Joe Biden (I like writing that) will have to chew into the next few days, weeks and months — beyond COVID and all its related nightmares — are the nasty, little nuggets of shit the T-Rump has jammed into so many goverment agencies and departments. People like him doing nothing…
One most-wonderful scene today with the new Biden adminstration is the return of the ‘sane’ and qualified press briefing without bullshit and ‘alternative facts:’ I missed most of todays events as they unfolded as I had a follow-up medical exam in the afternoon at UC Davis in Sacramento. However, I did catch Biden’s inauguration this…
In this high-tech, social-media world, it’s not really surprising a new study shows the impact of T-Rump’s massive deception tactics on the faint of brain — since he’s been off Twitter, misinfornation online has way-dropped; (Illustration by Christopher Weyant, The Boston Globe, and found here). Leader of the free world, and the unfree world as…
In our way-modern world social media opens shit up (except in the T-Rump’s case, closes it down) and exposes reality, as identifying the assholes from Wednesday’s insurrection encounter at the nation’s Capitol, leading to arrests and worse — family members going WTF. Best shot (h/t tweet BJ): And social media has also brought home, literally,…
This has been one unreal day as events unfolded in DC revealing we’ve a major problem with the forces unleashed by the T-Rump and his enablers. Although there was a delay lashed by fear and uncertainty (and one death), Congress is back to work on what had been in the past, a ‘procedural event,’ and…
Watching an unreal scene from DC via MSNBC — the T-Rump MAGA storm troopers have breached our Capitol and now a visual like a vista from some third-world country: And way-surreal: Even Republicans enough is enough (Guardian live): Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman, described Donald Trump’s tweet to his supporters storming the US Capitol as “cowardice.” Speaking…
Second day in, and we’re still living a way-terrible fairy tale: And yes, I’m also ‘gobsmacked’ and even more perplexed how any human being could even consider the value of the T-Rump, a guy without a bit of anything good — he’s 100-percent all bad. Not one single bit of a redeeming quality. Yet these…
Sunshine with a wisp of cold this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, outside is a breath of relief against the ugly, full-blown crazy of the nowadays — just in the backyard a few moments ago doing a B&M (Wine, wood-tip) when a huge flock of some-type birds coiled themselves directly above. I could…
Despite the deadly lure of doomscrolling even on this holiday Thursday in California’s Central Valley, I’m thinking rudimentary musical thoughts of the imagination — sunshine right now in late afternoon, a welcome respite and clears perceptions of gloom after nearly three full days of Tule fog, our area’s seasonal shitsville-weather period, a depressing gray stretch…
