War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘MQ-9 Reaper,’ digital artwork by Tommy Anderson, and found here). Oddly and horribly ironic on the eve of one of America’s near-sacred, modern anniversaries, a report today the military drone strike last month in Kabul as mass evacuations were taking place was actually another fatal, deadly fuck-up in a 20-year-history of such fuck-ups, capping…
Three months ago, there was a glimmer of hope in the COVID pandemic, but now a shit scene, and doesn’t look like it will be any better soon — from the Associated Press yesterday: The summer that was supposed to mark America’s independence from COVID-19 is instead drawing to a close with the U.S. more…
As we stand this Thursday morning, America’s version of democracy is on the ropes. Latest assault on our system came from/in Texas, and was nearly hidden by an oversized, cruel abortion law, a free-for-all gun law, and a shitload of the state’s citizens suffering and dying from COVID — Asshat Abbott on Tuesday signed into…
Although the T-Rump has been gone from office nearly nine months, his inbred-toxic hatred of humanity remains deeply embedded within Republicans, and just about every day (maybe twice/three times a day) they prove cruelty is the point. Today no exception as Greg Abbott once again flourished with a pure, and complete, lack of self-awareness, or…
Warm and near-about comfortable this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — first day of the ‘fall season,’ a time zone which usually lasts until about Halloween, then the holiday season kicks in, amping shit up higher. In the nowadays, though, all past ‘normal’ bets are off, due to the ugly fact crazy shit’s…
(Illustration: ‘Geopoliticus Child Watching The Birth Of A New Man,’ print, by Salvador Dali, and found here). Another screw of the clock face, and it’s Labor Day again, though, here in California’s Central Valley the sense of still being summer (not the end of it) with triple-digit temperatures forecast for today and the rest of…
(Illustration: ‘again the rebels rushed furiously on our men‘ (1954), by Jacob Lawrence, and found here). Beyond the horrors foiled upon this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley coming from worldwide — for instance: a revolution in Guinea, a massacre in Ethiopia, and in Florida, killing of a baby, its mother, and two other…
Doomscrolling truly in surfing the news this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — shit, I could be anywhere and would still come across story after fucking story of shit happening, most sorry to say, preventable to some degree. Even a high school shooting tossed in for good measure, just to break the horrid,…
Joe was pretty straight today: He took charge of the endgame while also noting the contribution of the T-Rump, though, Republicans won’t (literally) hear a word of it — despite the shit from the T-Rump and his asshat asshole Mike Pompeo in setting the stage for the chaos of evacuation, Biden will most-likely carry the…
Another boilermaker day — 109-degrees outside right now (late-afternoon Monday in California’s Central Valley) — as we spin through work-week kick-off with shit hitting the fan everywhere. Probably the most-historic event today was an end to an inspired bit of action begun a month shy 20 years ago, but quickly shit the roost, and now…
