War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration by Lesley Becker/Boston Globe; Adobe, and found here). Uneven news day it seems — Ukraine took a maybe new turn, Ginni Thomas has become synonymous with Q-brain, and dangerous chemicals has been found in fast-food wrappers from all kinds of food outlets — and even with a Friday info dump, the high notes are…
Warm late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as time continues unabated no matter the shitstorm. In just about every news crevice there’s a large wedge-like object keeping life in small tatters. Beyond the national horror of Republicans acting like cruel, tasteless buffoons — Ketanji Brown Jackson is a treasure — the war in Ukraine…
Doomscrolling through news events this late Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, I flashed across this T-rump news story of the worse kind — the reality behind last month’s New York DA dustup over prosecuting the asshole, allowing the weasel to most-likely skirt the law once again. Prosecute to aid democracy and justice —…
Bright sunshine and warm temperatures still this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another early hint of summer as it supposedly climbed into the 80s late this afternoon. Apparently, too much shit is going on as 2022 is rightfully hurdling right along — time flies when you’re having fun, amirite? One horrid, festered-sore…
Approaching late morning and the noon hour this Friday here in California’s Central Valley — overcast with gentle sprinkles, a weather pattern known lately on the Left Coast (and other sections of the Western US) as a rainstorm. Reality in tiny droplets. Today another look at media in this crazed war-and-political theater period, and how…
Last night’s SOTU is now history, but Russians in Ukraine and Republicans in America keep clogging the news drain pipe this mid-day Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — warm again, too, feels like it’s getting warm all over the world. Enough of that shit, though, spot on — most-likely biggest news so far this morning…
Beyond Ukraine this morning, but still on just how extremely awful are Republicans and why we’ll probably never get a true handle on the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a problem not of the so-called, and touted ‘misinformation’ tactic, but of plain-old out-n-out lying. Vaccines with boosters prevent serious illness, and even death — pure fact.…
Once again, back again this near-mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — expecting some rain this afternoon, but this is drought infested lands, so I don’t expect much. Despite not feeling real good, at least I don’t feel real bad. The cold/flu/whatever/maybe COVID I’ve been experiencing the last 10 days or so has become…
In a spin-off of yesterday’s post and the wake-up call needed for AG Merrick Garland to get his ass in gear to prosecute the T-Rump for the shitload of crimes he committed in broad daylight and has even boasted about them. Despite some calls for Garland to be cautious and get all the T-Rump legal…
A grifter’s grind. (Illustration found here). In a world gone near-mad with shitstorms festering all over — war in Ukraine, democracy in peril, crazy-ass truckers are closing down cities, and now T-Rump has a literary grift with the same inept, lazy and fact-free menu like all of anything he’s involved with or is around. A…
