War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Usually, in putting together the couple of posts I do about every day, there’s always some seemingly-more interesting than the dozens of serious/important news items flashing across our screens 24/7, and one or two worthy of the time to build a page on it. Today felt like more than just one was blinking red in…
After an elderly guy in Placer County died in March 2020, the first COVID-19 death in California, the state with the rest of the country went into near-shock mode with lockdowns/shutdowns/stay-at-home orders, etc. that would put a wedge into the normalacy of living. We here in California shut-her-down first in the country and after attempting…
Although Joe Biden has called-out T-Rump by name before (albeit just, “this guy“), he went hard and heavy against the orange-turded asshole today in a press conference in Belgium, while also sticking GQPers-feet to the collective fire: Story via the Guardian‘s live blog this afternoon: In a wide-ranging press conference in Brussels, Joe Biden did…
Somehow I missed this milestone-anniversary yesterday: In June 1971, I was still in the USAF (an air traffic controller) and was way-politically naive, which led me to lean heavily toward the right as most of my superiors/supervisors were conservative bent so I without a reflective thought in my 22-year-old brain went in that direction. I…
Joe Biden is killing it overseas right now — and that’s in a show-biz, Urban Dictionary, ‘performing at the highest level‘ type phrase, and not the Mafia-T-Rump locution — in a so-far, way-successful mission to build-back-better America’s standing on the world stage. After palling with chancellors, prime ministers and presidents involved with the three-day G7…
Cool and breezy this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley, loving the delay in the heated-summer days immediately ahead — and also grasping the pre-Friday news dump drop from last night, where it was disclosed Billy Barr’s DOJ subpoenaed Apple for data on a load of people, including Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, along with…
A rehash today sort of in old news, shit now without consequence, other than for flashback dark-comedic laughs: Background/details via Law&Crime, late this afternoon: In a fit of pique over Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, former President Donald Trump almost reached an “inflection point” and “point of no return” that would have set in…
Beyond the dark cloud of political bullshit, one inauspicious trait of GQP operations is the fall from reality into loving-them some QAnon: Ironic lying and hypocrisy has always been a festered go-to for Republicans, hiding behind talk of faith when all along they were as crooked as a politican and twice as corrupt. Empty souls…
Although the entire concept is crazy — an incentive to make you get a free, easy, near-painless injection that could save you or your family from a most-gruesome death — and these inducements have ranged from doughnuts, beer, hard-liquor, even lottery winnings, in an effort to get dumbass people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. WTF!…
Yesterday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm spoke ominously on how susceptible the US is to hackers: ‘Asked By CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” whether the nation’s adversaries have the capability of shutting it down, Granholm said: “Yeah, they do.”‘ And how did the asshole who claims he’s “a very stable genius” react —…
