War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Today a marking of history, not an American shinning moment, but a nasty horror incident without a real reason, which like a shitload of other past US narratives, was lied about and downplayed. And though not a major news story on this particular Friday morning, the reflection on the matter is needed — get rid…
As the COVID pandemic continues into new phases/surges with new plot-lines daily, this morning I came across some news seen a few days ago, but seemingly didn’t pay much attention — this COVID-19 shit is splitting off into worse and worse variants with dangerous mutations, like resistance to vaccines. Not only have we the regular-old…
Weird shit facing America from the right side of the fruit bowl: Classic philosophy — nihilism — for a gut-wrenching portion of our country, who are working tooth-and-nail to destroy what’s left standing — this item originated with an op/ed this morning at The Washington Post by Max Boot, a former Republican, a supporter of…
In the current stock of things this Monday afternoon — like Greece. Today the CDC put Greece and 15 other countries on a “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High” shit list for Americans to travel due to the surge of the Delta variant, while at the same time, Greece itself is in a weather meltdown. Climate change…
Big debate hassle over the use of masks in curbing the spread of the Delta COVID specimen, though, the CDC recommendation vaccinated people again use face coverings is the right call, the main threat to society is not the vaxxed, but the freaking un-vaxxed. A crowd of pretty-much self-centered assholes — even Geraldo Rivera goes…
A news-worthy Friday with all kinds of shit making the cycle along with the continuing weather stories, COVID surging through vaxxed and un-vaxxed and the T-Rump getting skinned. Not only was he busted for coup incitement, but was also slapped hard by the dreaded, Achilles heel, always-present personal-fright-fight to keep his taxes hidden: ‘The Treasury…
Weather lede again this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at 94-degrees right now with a forecast buzz-high of 104, which despite what the prediction-people say, feels like we’ve already cleared that bar. All indications for a way-hot afternoon. And heat is a good metaphor for some breaking-big news back in DC…
Some more climate-related items for this Thursday afternoon as the weekend looms just ahead — another wrecked week of weird. A special day today, sort of hand-in-hand with climate change and the environment — Earth Overshoot Day: Greed pretty-much is the origin story for CO2-fed climate change, and a real, up-close view of the self-centered…
A couple of items this Thursday morning that seem to project just what a miserable state-of-affairs is the entire Republican Party — lying, delusional and nasty is their entire bag. Mo Brooks, the asshole from my birth state of Alabama (don’t look down at me, everybody’s got to be from somewhere), will most-likely be forced…
Despite all the juice from a shitload of news, the climate crisis caught my attention again this afternoon, especially with reports that we’re close to tipping points for the worse aspects of global warming, if not already past those positions, which would be a panic-driven mark on life’s calendar. Contending with democracy under fire, a…
