War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Image/illustration found here.) Sunshine and seemingly not-so-chilled wind this Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — a respite from the cold rain and fog we’ve been experiencing the last month of so. Despite the calendar time gap, I’m ready/wanting some heat. And in connection with the word, ‘heat,’ today another piece-of-shit climate-change news, and…
In just a couple of weeks of a new year, we’ve gotten a tally on how shitty this election coming to ground already is going to be — here this Tuesday afternoon, last night’s Iowa frozen votes reveals the T-Rump is running the show. Despite all the actual horror of the Orange Turd, he’s not…
NOTE: This a re-post of a significant memory detail from the distant past, seemingly really, really relevant today. This is an essay-like piece of mine from a way-while back, originally published Dec. 30, 2007, at a long-gone site where I tried to put an online news-type magazine together, but quickly failed. Appeared here at Compatible…
A wet-gray and cold late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Although kind of nasty outside, it’s nothing compared to a giant chunk of the US right now, from super-freezing snow storms in the midwest to tornadoes in the south — the weather’s shitty all over. Americans seem aware that despite the winter conditions, climate…
UPDATE: Overnight problems — nothing serious, surgery re-scheduled for next month. Eye surgery again tomorrow at the Fresno VA so the posting here will be slim to none the next few days. This is part two of two parts — right eye in November, left tomorrow — in a cataract surgical procedure. It’s a same-day…
Another Monday in a new year with a lot of hold-over shit still bubbling along, especially with the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol three years ago a forefront news item that will most likely impact this upcoming election year. If you didn’t know T-Rump was a cruel, shitface asshole, now’s the time. Especially…
Clear and cold this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — big winter weather punching most of the country right now and maybe into next week. Snow and freezing temps as the season blows across the US. Here in the valley, outside this afternoon cold-ass wind off a way-cold front from the Gulf of…
Instead of a remembrance post this Saturday evening on the third anniversary of the horrid insurrection/riot at the US Capitol — such accounts which you can find all over the InterWebs today, memorials replayed so shitty with tons of actual video clips of the violently-startling, near-surreal event — I’m offering another literary solicitation to purchase…
Sunshine in some spots still this late afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley. Another end to seemingly another week yet this one is special — not only the finish to holiday episodes but also the first few days in perhaps the most important, meaningful, consequential year since maybe in forever. Life as we’ve known…
Happy New Year! In the evening of the first day. This new year has all the earmarks of being truly remarkable, and hopefully not really dangerous. However, given the situation of nowadays, that’s a tall order, especially with a crazy, violent underbelly foaming with vicious hatred of everything not of them. Although there’s room for…
