War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Awaiting the sound of fireworks this late-afternoon Thursday, July 4th, Independence Day, here in California’s Central Valley — explosions in stifling heat are wondrous. We’re sitting at 105 degrees right now with darkness and the fireworks still a couple/three hours away. In the wake of the SCOTUS immunity decision and subsequent shitstorm this week, and…
The Joe Biden old/unable-to-serve drama continues without fail. Joe has to go — or so say a shitload of media types and supposedly Democrat-party heavies (except for lefty blogs who refer to chilling out and letting Joe go forth) and none with sense. In this case, I think Joe should continue the run, there’s still…
Blistering hot just short of the noon-hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and has been the whine for days, we’re in the middle of a heat-domed boil burbling across not only my state but scalding the entire US southwest — records will fall (you can count on it) the next week or so. The…
(A somewhat-sweltering respite from the asshole SCOTUS bullshit from earlier today, which in turn, caused regurgitating opinions/viewpoints to fully-fester throughout the InterWebs this afternoon, all seemingly saddled with the whine-cry of ‘we be fucked…‘) Hot, heavy air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — a summer crush of excessive heat even worse than…
In the sharp shape of modern American life, there’s always room for a real-good, high-pitched scream, and this morning is an example. Our SCOTUS just shit our country’s mess kit. Via The Washington Post: The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts…
Across the news cycle this Sunday afternoon is still the debate with supposedly everybody and his brother calling for Joe Biden to quit, throw in the towel, and walk away. Despite the obvious. I want to scream. Nancy Pelosi tagged the flipped reality: ‘“How can you have a legitimate debate when somebody is totally lying?…
In a degression in these hardscrabble times, we present a musical respite from the horrors of modern life with some tunes, hopefully, which will perk the summer heat level and make it livable. Here just short of the noon hour we’re already close to triple digits and will enter a hellscape weather pattern the next…
Glaringly hot with just a faint whisper of a breeze this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re just under 100 degrees right now, but forecast to enter the dreaded triple-digit zone tomorrow and boil into maybe 110-to-113 territory by the middle of next week. Welcome to the future. And of the future,…
Breezy and warm this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice respite from the heat-domed boil that has been part of being alive in these parts the last couple of weeks (supposedly, the ‘boil’ moves to the eastern US next week) and we’re scheduled to stay this way for a few days.…
It’s heartbreaking horror continuing in Gaza this weekend. Although four Israeli hostages held by Hamas since October were rescued yesterday, the carnage required to get the job done was really, really hideous — the ruthless slaughter astounding. The IDF planned the rescue for weeks: However, shit can hit the fan, and it did — details…
