War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — this most likely our last day for a long while with somewhat cooler temperatures (at least in the morning), Tomorrow the reckoning begins with the heat expected to be quick, day-by-day turned up to reach 110 degrees by Saturday. We’ll be getting…
Our own California guy: Gavin Newsom on Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show this morning: On the idiocy of Republicans, especially Gregg Abbott, governor of Texas, and how red states are the worse, and MAGA heads are dumbasses (RealClearPolitics): Criminalizing doctors in the name of freedom, one of the worst crime murder rates in America, one of…
Hot and getting hotter this noon Saturday in California’s Central Valley — we’re right now at 97-degrees with a wide-open, bright sunshine-filled afternoon ahead to reportedly maybe top out at 107 before the sun sets. Despite trying hard, I didn’t get put out early enough this morning to take a long walk (as normal) with…
Beyond the domestic tales of treachery with the MAGA/T-Rump Republicans, the Russian near-coup/treachery (or whatever) this past weekend continues to fester itself without any general relief — as been stated long before, what’s known is more unknown right now. Now nearly a week after news of the so-called coup/mutiny/insurrection was mounted by Russian private mercenary…
Bright sunshine and gathering-warmth temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valey — another day in the hot-stacked, rapid road to summer triple-digit numbers upcoming, maybe tomorrow, if not, Saturday at least. Weather is neither hot nor cold, but constant — nuts to be sure. Also nuts is the state of America’s democracy, though,…
As the world continues to turn, T-Rump continues to shape-shift his way out of an actual recording of him blabbering about having classified documents — as presented yesterday via CNN — and today has seen him flip a desire to spin, pin reality into/onto an idiotic smoke and mirrors affair, except in this case, it’s…
As we await news on the submersible, known as “Titan,” missing since Sunday on a sight-seeing trip to the deep-sea-sunken Titanic, there was a couple of incidents in the House today that kept the interests nauseatingly viable — both stories on the shittiness of House Republicans and their wayward agenda of spite and arrogant ignorance.…
Just near-sleep-scrolling through the InterWebs the last couple of days without the energy, drive, or literary desire to post on anything, from all our environments, be it one-sided horror politics, genocidal war, or the-becoming hothouse weather. Reality nowadays is wretched. So far today, the only real pass-along item I spied is a deep-dive into the…
(Artwork: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here.) Sunshine and heat this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — today is one of the steps on a rising-temperature stairway we’re going to experience in the next couple of days. Although we’re in the high 80s right now, maybe triple digits by Saturday.…
Smokey-overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — warm, and seemingly a bit humid, too. Meanwhile, how do you handle what you don’t know? In the T-Rump indictment case, as he rolled into Miami today to await the perp walk scheduled for tomorrow, Republicans of every stripe, from Congressasses to sidewalk MAGA hatters,…
