War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright, clear sunshine and well-warm temperatures this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly topped 85 not too long ago. Seasonal glimpse way too far ahead. A peep, too, on some really terrible people: A building correlation between Erdogan’s Turkey and T-Rump’s America: ‘“It’s kind of a nightmare that I wake up every…
America is in the throes of a buzz cut of its history, performed by T-Rump’s boys. Noted American legal scholar, Laurence H. Tribe, makes my ‘read ‘of the day with a justifiable whack at the sense of our current scenario. Tribe, known for his studies of US constitutional law, describes our grim (but most-likely correct)…
Clear and way-warm this noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re forecast to top 80 this afternoon for the first time this year/season and it makes me wonder out loud just how the shit-hot will be the coming summer. Altogether too early for this. How about those idiots running our country right now?…
Eric Loomis earlier today at LGM on-the-button bottom line of the T-Rump: It was already my strongly held belief that Donald Trump is the worst president in American history, very much including Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan, based solely on the first administration. Now? Trump is the worst president in American history by a landslide.…
UPDATE: In sloppy resistance from Democrats, the Senate this afternoon passed the MAGA/T-Rump endorsed House bill– an “…an attack on everyday Americans” — to fund the federal government through September, averting a shutdown. Via the Guardian: ‘Ten Democrats joined with Republicans to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the measure. Democrats confronted two painful…
Overcast and cold this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Along with some freezing temps the last few days, we’re forecast for another ‘atmospheric river‘ to wash our way Thursday/Friday, pelting us with maybe three-fourths an inch or so of rain. One must weather the weather whether you like it or not. Today a…
What we really need in these anxious, shit-hitting-the-fan times: An afternoon’s moment within the next couple of hours. And a particular doomscroll on how America is getting fucked, and fucked in a hurry. We’re currently cracking up, way off the rails, and displaying sad, harrowing signs we’ve maybe reached the end of the track for…
Drizzling rain this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly a few days of wet ahead. A good thing considering wildfires, drought, and such I haven’t posted much lately. Even if you just half-assed follow the news, you’d still come to grips/understand the anti-creative horror of what we’re endearing. And if you pay…
Some sense of a feeling. So far, this particular year has been another case of the ‘fours.’ Apparently, from what I can gather from within myself as I age (76 next month), the years of my life ending in ‘4‘ have had some special, striking significance — except 1954, as I was too young to…
Hot and getting hotter shortly past the noon hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — actual living boils down to whether we can weather the weather. The same goes for the T-Rump. Except the unhinged madness is getting worse. Blubbering incoherently yesterday in Milwaukee on climate change (MSNBC): “Global warming wasn’t working because the…
