War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Here we go, the opening round of the T-Rump’s Kangaroo Court — oops, sorry, Senate trial on impeachment — and the shit has already hit the fan. Closed tighter than a clam, the Senate is listening to itself this afternoon as the world isn’t watching (h/t Susie): Just in the nick, there’s been a decent…
Here it is on Monday, the day before the start of a most-rare event in American history and the ratfucking bullshit from Republicans continues with unfaltering zest, even outside constitutional reality. Right now I’m watching Hallie Jackson on MSNBC shred the thin skin of one of the T-Rump’s ‘lawyers‘ Alan Dershowitz as he attempts to…
In the era of strange: Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours And here it comes again: Plus, I hope this ain’t happening — one of my all-time favorites, though, haven’t heard it in awhile: Onward into the weird of 20/20… (Illustration: Salvador Dali’s…
Our life nowadays is geared toward a sense of apprehension and dread — can’t be helped. This terrifying era of the T-Rump is one of chaos and constant clutter of shit-kicking episodes of bat-shit crazy, both on a worldwide scale and in the local neighborhood. Research has now shown the culprit for this situation is,…
Among a mass of shitty news this Monday, the Academy Awards nominations were announced and “Little Women” director, Greta Gerwig, was snubbed, although the movie nailed six other spots, including Best Picture — no female directors nominated at all, just bullshit. I saw it Christmas Day with two of my daughters and really, really loved…
Mostly sunny this late-afternoon Monday here in Merced, a place stranded in California’s Jan Joaquin Valley and seemingly lost between Modesto and Fresno — an affliction of ordinary. And it’s the eve of New York’s Eve, where soon we’ll start the beginning of a brand-new year and celebrate the end of another decade. Wonders will…
Considered ‘Partly Cloudy‘ this mid-day Thursday in Merced, midst of California’s San Joaquin Valley, as I attempt to normalize my new home area — resided here thereabouts more than 30 years ago, thus I somewhat grasp my situation/predicament… In 1975 I began my journalism career as a police reporter with The Montgomery Advertiser and in…
Foggy, damp and more-than-cool this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — sunshine busted through a bit in the early afternoon, but slowly the scenery went all fucking gray again. Seems like everything has gotten darker, the sky a misty ash wet to the touch. While on a mid-day dog run at Little River State…
Beautiful Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine and warmth just about all day — a dog run to the Ma-le’l Dunes in the AM was exhaustively-most-enjoyable, and sweaty. The Redwood Gun Club’s firing range is just north of the South Unit of the Ma-le’l Dunes, where we always go, and although we did hear…
Sunny with a slight breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and warm, too. (Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). As the T-Rump continues to spiral into dangerous madness on a daily basis, there comes the question whether the piece-of-shit is the worse president, ever, or not — in the 2017 C-Span…
