War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One of the more-interesting, on-topic features I spotted today concerns those ‘omnipresent‘ White House aides, of which Cassidy Hutchinson is currently way-prominent, most-especially even as a former one: Highlights from Zak’s must-read piece at The Washington Post this morning: Washington is run by aides, or at least it runs on the work of aides: the…
Cool in the shade this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a much easier, nicer day with just a hint of a breeze, temperatures just in the 90s. Evidence of the hot-heat in the valley recently, temps ‘just in the 90s‘ — a new normal of weather when hot is found to be relative…
Exciting life nowadays. In the midst of shit, a glimmer of positive news — via SciTechDaily: ‘Just in time for worldwide Asteroid Day: a threatening space rock lingered at the top of risk lists around the globe for months, with a real chance of striking Earth on April 2, 2052. Now, ESA’s asteroid team working…
In a period of dark, ominous shit, the backlash off the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade last week might have added fuel to the Democrat side of the voting aisle, and maybe will prove a positive factor in the midterms in November. Some poll work, hopefully, points the way — at Salon this afternoon:…
Even a nice wind can’t mitigate the heat this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. A most-singular item with handling weather nowadays is whether you can actually weather the weather.

As we wait for the reported appearance of Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to the nit-witted, nefarious Mark Meadows, to testify live before the Jan. 6 committee hearing, expected to start in about an hour, let’s jump on a personal subject for a second or two. My recently self-published novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,”…
Surprise, surprise this morning from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup — despite saying last week the hearings would be on a month-long hiatus, the group will hold one tomorrow. Maybe some drama unfolding (Axios): ‘Why it matters: Members of the panel had said they planned to postpone their remaining hearings until July.…
Hot with just a hint of a breeze this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — summer be here already in full force. Pleasant Valley Sundays a dream memory. Writing this blog — Compatible Creatures — for now more than 15 years (April 22, 2007), I usually have a subject matter for each post,…
Heavy heat this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — near 100 degrees again today and the same mean-hot shit is supposed to continue through next week. Friday, too, is usually news dump day. However, today was just a dump, one big-old shit-dump. The news cycle near-completely dominated by the SCOTUS shit decision to…
Despite knowing this was coming for weeks, SCOTUS decision today was still shitty as shit can be and puts America in the fucked-up category worldwide. Healthcare is below gun care — via a stinging editorial this morning from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: Experience around the world has demonstrated that restricting access to…
