War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘The Three Amigos‘ — Dick Cheney, GW Bush, Donald Rumsfeld — found here). Afghanistan continues to flame the news cycle into the afternoon — and the shit in the airwaves is poor. History and context play a huge part in this horrid, miserable story. Joe Biden on the clusterfuck of a mess: “Here’s what…
Afghanistan continues to boil across the news this Monday morning with Kabul a centerpiece of horror, especially at the airport as thousands seek an exit from a country going to Taliban-shit in a wire basket — real-life scenes so bad images are juxtaposed onto a fictional zombie movie: As the Taliban established its full-fledged reign…
Quick pace of the end game was astonishing — banner headlines at news outlets this Sunday afternoon: ‘Afghan Government Falls‘ (CNN); ‘Afghanistan Falls To Taliban‘ (The Washington Post); ‘Taliban Seize Afghanistan; US Scrambles To Evacuate Americans‘ (The New York Times); you get the point. On the ground, a dreadful crisis mode — via Aljazeera a…
In the wake of shitty domestic American fanfare — COVID surges thanks to Republican hardcore hardheadedness — the sad, shame of Afghanistan continues to unfold badly, an image of a country shattering like glass when struck with a huge, craggy rock — 20 years and we end with a terrible tale of America abroad. Today…
Environmental news seems to pop up in the afternoons lately, and today was no exception — hot records melting in the heat: According to data released today by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, last month was not only the hottest July, but also ‘earned the unenviable distinction as the world’s hottest month ever recorded,’…
A warm comfortable outside this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we haven’t felt the rigorous heat reportedly scorching through the Pacific Northwest, but the day is still young. Today, too, is purportedly the day the T-Rump will be reinstated as POTUS — at least to the bat-shit crazy QAnon/Republican freaks who cause…
As we blunder toward the end of another work week, the climate of human society sucks through a way-small straw. If we can’t even get a portion of Americans to adopt way-obvious, life-saving methods to end/slow-down a horrible, deadly pandemic, how in the shit can we get these same assholes to help take action against…
Although there’s some thin cloud cover this Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, the outside is still hot with the high today forecast to be in triple digits again, and a real scorcher is supposedly scheduled for this weekend. One must weather the weather. However, political weather is a little harder to suffer through, especially…
Heavy-heat again this Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, though, we’re not sweltering alone — seemingly the whole freaking world is boiling. The Pacific Northwest and BC Canada are catching the top-crust warmth with another ‘heat-dome attack‘ driving temperatures to massive heights, while seemingly near-in concert, another ‘dome’ act is scorching the eastern US,…
In a fresh uplifting-downward this Wednesday afternoon in the seemingly never-ending horror story that’s the COVID-19 pandemic, now in its super-wicked ‘Delta’ version, is a new angle on the mega-power-center of this latest surge as prompted by Republican leaders who are pushing death on a personal-grand scale that seems horribly historic in its hideousness —…
