War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Autumn continues with cool sunshine this late-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — I can’t believe half the workweek is gone already as we start the slide toward another weekend. Time flies whether you’re having fun or not, or whether you just sit and stare at the clock — nowadays and despite the proverb, a…
A way-hearty laugh amid the constant shitstorms — (h/t tengrain): And in further news for a man who loves hearing a goat gossiping most-cutely across a fence is notice of an increase in Social Security checks, which as a retiree, I utterly and throatily applaud — via CNN just a while ago: Social Security recipients…
(Illustration: Famous Santa Monica, California, Pier with 1.5°C (2.7°F) rise in global temperatures, and found here). Way-windy and chilly this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, but nowhere as fierce as yesterday’s blustery time — this morning on our daily walk with Leroy (my daughter’s Basset hound/Greyhound mix) there was down tree limbs/debris along our…
Among a pile of T-Rump stories this Monday afternoon — for instance, he whined on Newsmax about a reporter for Fox News; there’s a stream of reportable shit off his rally Saturday night in Iowa, where GQP bootlickers paraded before the T-Rump crowd (especially Chuck Grassley, who swallowed turn-about lie-turds up to his eyeballs that…
Nice early-autumn, late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley with warm sunshine and cool shade. Out in the backyard a few moments ago doing a B&M (Wine, wood-tip) break, and the ambiance comforting with family/children noises from neighbors around about, though, none all that close, but still a kind of musical normalcy. A sense rare…
On occasion, a Friday news-story dump happens early, and sometimes it’s not even a dumpster item — Joe Biden was straight today with his official dismissal of T-Rump’s ‘executive privilege‘ bullshit, maybe allowing access to some criminally-cringeworthy documents. All kinds of material shit, phone records, emails, whatnot, leading to the Jan.6 insurrection/riot: In just the…
Even as Joe Biden and Democrats strive to keep America afloat, the truth-bringing to the dumb-ass ‘coup’ attempt by the T-Rump at the end of his term in office appears to be hitting too close to home — if you can’t lie your way out of shit, then just ignore the law. As Congressional Republicans…
(Topside Note: Great-big thank-you this morning from this humble, tiny blog to Tengrain [Mock, Paper, Scissors] for a shout-out at Crooks&Liars‘ blog line-up — super-nice way to start the day). As we stare down a possible economic collapse/catastrophe due to the foolishness of a debt ceiling muck-a-muck, the violent, crazy side of right-sided society will…
Overcast and brown once again this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the blowback/blow-around off wildfires burning south of us. Further proof of days like this of being normal. In another overcast story in California today wasn’t with the weather, but the never-ending COVID pandemic, especially here in the Central Valley, but also surging…
A smoke-tainted ambiance in the air this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, with just an occasional slight dab of sunshine to give our view out windows a muted-bright sheen — once again, we’re back into a Mars-like motif to the weather, a freaky phenomenon becoming more common. Currently our second-straight year of “The…
