War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In an attempt this late-afternoon Tuesday to stay away from news on the Virginia governor’s race (too anxiety-like depressing), and the sad shenanigans in DC (Asshole Joe Manchin being an asshole, also down-deep depressing) as Joe Biden’s agenda and America’s future goes kaput, and latched onto some new shit on another depressing subject — climate…
Election day 2021 with mostly all-eyes on the Virginia governor’s race, along with contests for mayor in Boston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, New York, and Buffalo (NY), with horrible one-sided races — Democrats want to govern, Republicans want to lie and whine about the evils of all kinds of shit without a thought on voters real concerns.…
Overcast with an occasional splash of faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — scary-boo night coming, so all is not well. And in a split-screen effect today, just as the meeting of the G20 in Rome ended, the UN’s 26th Climate Change Conference opened in Glasgow, Scotland, and the weight…
(Illustration: ‘Increasing Forest Fire Activity,’ (watercolor and colored pencil, 2015), by Jill Pelto, and found here). On the eve of the UN climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, our environment is reeling from one catastrophe to another with recent studies painting an ominous, dire future picture of our one-and-only planet. In the look-alike squabbling taking place…
One depressing sign of the times unseen by apparently a shitload of Americans — one party (Democrats) are focused on helping people, attempting to enact policies that give aid to families, while on the other political hand, the only other party in this country (Republicans) do not give a shit about anything but power and…
Skies will supposedly light up for Halloween this weekend thanks to a sun-stroked solar flare: (Video of yesterday’s solar activity found here). A bit of whimsy this morning in the face of ugly planet-bound news — a colorful sparkle for Sunday. Details via Space.com this morning: A massive solar flare from the sun could lead…
In the status of unknowns nowadays, one major blank space is how AG Merrick Garland and the DOJ will prosecute/or handle the asshole-MAGA hatters arrested from off the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol — and the look of the situation is not really encouraging. Time is of the freedom-loving essence: ‘Attorney General Garland…
As we approach a year after the election, T-Rump’s push on the Big Lie continues to burn brightly and coupled with the shameless anti-democracy shenanigans of the entire Republican party puts America at the end of a short fuse — the assault on our constitutional government norms is led by a vile, horrid orange turd…
Sunshine and clear skies this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley as we return to normalcy after a brief-flair of a storm this weekend and yesterday — many parts of the state were slammed by heavy downpour and wind with record rainfalls recorded in several spots, but the Valley pretty-much missed the boat. However,…
(Illustration: Cartoon by Kevin Kallaugher (KAL), and found here). One of the worst people on the planet right now is most-likely Joe Manchin. I know, I know there are murderers out there, rapists, child abusers/pedophiles, killers in mass, yet most of these-pieces-of-shit are hopefully confined to a small space of horror-infliction and not in a…
