War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hot time in the summertime. After a couple of weeks of fairly-nice weather, we’re heading into a fertile hotplate of scorcher temperatures and blistering sunshine this week. Although the NWS announced an ‘Excessive Heat Wave’ wouldn’t officially start until Tuesday, the wave is two days early —…
In the last couple of weeks, good shit happened that maybe created some hope for America. The good shit came from a rising shift in the way the country is headed, and what possibly could be down the road a bit. Instead of the death-strangle of democracy in the midterms, there a bright strobe of…
Hot already near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — outside a soft breeze makes the shade nice, but the direct sunlight will scorch your ass. Also hot right now is T-Rump and government documents on nuclear weapons. The InterWebs is teeming with ‘nuclear‘ stories, covering all aspects of the FBI raid now affecting all…
An amazing amount of news floating across the InterWebs this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley (and all over the country) — in trying to put together a post on some intriguing facet item is tricky because there’s so much shit it boggles the brain (if I had one) and keeps the laptop lapping…
In the politics involved with climate change — the House should sign off on the Inflation Reduction Act tomorrow, with its $369bn allotted to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions and invest in renewable energy sources, and maybe Joe Biden could sign it into law before the weekend — the governmental movements in this calamity might…
In this historical flux period right now with American democracy on the line, past situations do make impressions on our current predicament as this country faces a scary, frantic seemingly push-surge to politics of right-wing tomfoolery and violence. If the midterms fail, we’re possibly following history down the freedom drain. We might be on the…
Another one-off pleasant time this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a cool breeze with low temps, creating a livable environment for a summer day. Reportedly, we’re supposed to go back up into triple digits next week. Enjoy while we can. And in turn, I’m also enjoying the shit out of the escapades…
Yes, indeed. It is a Big Fucking Deal. The value/impact comes not only from what’s in the Inflation Reduction Act itself but that the bill actually passed the Senate, despite the notorious Manchin-Sinema one-two franchise (both stayed true-Blue in this particular case) and repulsive Republicans continually acting the shits — again down to a 51-50…
Not an unpleasant late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley as temperatures are in the low 90s, and a gentle breeze even softens the air. Especially refreshing after a week’s worth of triple-digit heat — nice is way-better than shitty. Speaking also of maybe not so shitty, about this time back in DC the Senate…
In the darkness, sometimes there’s a flash of light. Maybe not enough to blind you, but enough to see the shift in the wind — and ascertain there could be hope in the face of a shitload of shitty news. Last Tuesday’s big win in Kansas is just one example, and today is further evidence…
