War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Just weeks following his election in 2008, President Obama did a couple of things that both pissed me off and let me down — one was naming Tim Geithner as treasury secretary (and later Larry Summers as head of the National Economic Council), idiot assholes that shit on any ‘change‘ anyone could ever believe in…
Joe Biden continues, even connecting with the hard-to-handle youngsters: Good vibes from young people it seems, despite some heavy shit going down — notable snips from the Harvard Youth Poll released today: In the fall of 2017, only 31-percent of young Americans said they were hopeful about the future of America; 67-percent were fearful. Nearly…
A most-wonderful surpise! Despite the presented evidence, I wasn’t sure if the jury would act in a humane fashion and find the asshole guilty of murdering George Floyd last May. Top-notch, best encapsulation came from the White House where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris watched the unfolding jury return: ‘“A collective exhale. From everyone ……
Finally off the shit list — today Merced County where I live skipped up a notch from the worse in California. From the Merced Sun-Star this morning: Merced County officials say they received good news from the state on Wednesday, as they were given permission to move into the red tier for reopening the economy.…
Last night, residents of South Florida on the Atlantic coast got a thrill, and probably a quick scare across the skies above them (per NPR): And from another angle: Scrolling around the InterWebs this morning, I couldn’t get any confirmation the object was the projected asteroid scheuled to pass earth last night — from EarthSky…
Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…
(Illustration: ‘Reptiles,’ by MC Escher, 1943 (Lithograph), and found here). One of the more-ugly aspects of GaetzGate for me is that the asshole represents the area where I grew up — the Florida panhande. I spent most of my youth there, from third grade through high school graduation (attending Choctawhatchee High School in Fort Walton…
Another Monday in the life as the US continues to unwind itself from the coils of a crazed pandemic and four horrific years of the T-Rump madness where everything went to shit in a big bucket. One notable continuous wonder in this new Joe Biden age is Jen Psaki and the near-daily press briefings. Instead…
Another lopsided shit-event at the US Capitol this morning (AM here on the West Coast) when apparently some random guy tried to ram Capitol police with his car, then jumped out with a knife. Two cops were injured, one fatally, and the suspect was shot dead — just WTF: As the situation is developing, some…
As Joe Biden continues to be as popular as ever, and carries on with poise and determination, the wallowing-in-pity T-Rump maintains his lying status as a goof-ball dipshit, and after hyjacking a wedding repection over the weekend to rant bullshit, today he lashed-out at his own COVID historical reality. In a blathering statement released from…
