War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Weekend sensibilities this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley with nice weather coupled with seemingly not much way-horrible news makes relaxing sense. Yet even some good news was reported just a short while ago — a police surveillance team in Stockton, a city about an hour’s drive from where I’m located, has arrested a…
In session, the Jan. 6 committee hearing this afternoon continued to impress on American viewers that the Republican party, and especially the T-Rump of turds, are not playing by any kind of rules, ethics, or any form of acting normal. Despite the over-abundance of actual proof T-Runp tried to ‘steal’ the 2020 election, reweatching the…
Autumn cool this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — despite being three hours behind, I’m watching most-likely the last public hearing of the House Jan/ 6 committee, and supposedly it’s going to be a barnburner of an event. Hottest item so far, apparently the T-Rump could be nailed in testimony — via The…
Nice, and maybe a bit chilly this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley with a cool breeze tempering the warmish sunshine — another autumn day to the growing roster before crisp becomes cold. Worse maybe still is how fast 2022 has burned through the calendar. In a sense, hard to believe it’s quickly approaching…
Another warm but comfortable late afternoon here this Tuesday in California’s Central Valley — autumn keeps the hope alive of a decent season before winter’s gloom arrives with its habitual, and dangerous ‘tule fog.’ Whether we’ll weather it is another story. A kind of multileveled news day for events and people, mostly revealing the noticeable…
Beyond the dung of baby-like news on a Friday evening — the Twitter machine pops a good T-Rump dump — ugly to showcase the T-Rump in any form, but unhinged, asshole he is without doubt: And further a poser sign of the ludicrous-idiocy of our age: In context: Along with that, the great political satirist…
In my usual news surf this Thursday afternoon, I was immediately struck by some sad, shitty legal news on T-Rump and the Mar-a-Lago document-dump clusterfuck — asshole T-Rump judge has flipped the switch and made an obvious outreach to keep the legal binds tied for the Orange Turd and his lawyers. Per The New York…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ [June 30, 1972], was originally found here.) Less than a year after Picasso finished the artwork above, he was dead from pulmonary edema and heart failure, so the title is fairly apt. He’d lived a good life for 91 years, though. Distraught by his death, his much-younger wife, and…
Warm but way-comfortable this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — nice kickoff to the weekend. We’re supposed to stay this way for a few more days, which makes shitty-shit somewhat, near-tolerable. And in the discussion of shitty-shit, Republicans today rolled out their supposed agenda, another bilge crack of window-dressing non-particulars from 30 years…
Cool and crisp — if temps in the low 80s are considered brisk — in the outside this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — now just a day shy of the autumnal equinox (6:03 pm PDT tomorrow), the local environment is fully responding in kind with some really comfortable weather. This year is…
