War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fog and a chill in the AM, but now early-evening Saturday has mostly clear skies with fading, but-still bright sunshine, and the air is much warmer. Weather here this morning in California’s Central Valley was just a preview to our immediate future — endless Tule fog and coldness. Horror of the fog is driving, reportedly…
The T-Rump is one nasty-faced human being. Culture in the face of such profound ugliness and an appreciation for it is really, really hard to explore, much less bring to any kind of decent closure — T-Rump has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and looks it. He’s pure, worthless shit. Surfing the news this afternoon, I…
Biden/Harris with a celebration in the air. New York, New York! (h/t Digby): And outside the White House (h/t Raw Story): And from the groundbreaking newly-minted Vice President (h/t BJ): Harris is history in real time — from The Washington Post this morning: A vice president-elect stepped forward on Saturday, and, for the first time…
Here we are Wednesday, the morning after the night of freak. Although I’d been trying to not become too optimistic the last few weeks with the whole election endeavor maybe looking like a landslide or even a wondrous ‘blue tsuanmi,’ but was blindsided early last evening by a ‘red swarm’ of nationwide assholes.

I’d never…
Overcast and mostly quiet this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Seemingly, with every day an acceleration of a shitty ride further into calamity. And today no exception: Hysteria over this is natural, but the T-Rump is only playing the only way he knows, with cruelty. This afternoon he staged a photo-op to showcase,…
In continuing protests of the police killing of George Floyd earlier this week in Minneapolis, several hundred people converged today on downtown Merced to show solidarity for the cause, and lend support for African-Americans being killed by police. Demonstrations have occurred all over the country, from Minnesota to New York to California — a federal…
Nutty as the world spins along — we are indeed caught in some Twilight Zone episode, flavored with a bit of Outer Limits, where I’m no longer in control of the TV. Two/three times a day, I receive e-mails from the County of Merced titled, ‘COVID-19 Notifications’, updates on the local situation with regards to…
We’re in an era of ‘you can’t make this shit up,’ shit: Background via the Guardian‘s live blog this morning: The Trump Death Clock, the real-time tracker that seeks to put a figure on the number of Americans who have died needlessly during the pandemic as a result of White House inaction, has just gone…
The entire T-Rump operation is one of lying and double-blabber (Raw Story): Story at Mediaite this evening: During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was confronted over comments she made weeks ago downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to the United States. In late February, McEnany spoke with Trish Regan — a…
