War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
this A major item, but lost in the endless shit-pile of all kinds of news stories — on some peripheral edge, I think maybe I’d seen a headline with the word, ‘chip,’ in it: Apparently, so bad: ‘The Biden administration is developing plans to quickly spend $52 billion to deal with semiconductor supply issues if…
Warm but not on the boil side this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — just regular summertime shit with temperatures simmering just under the century mark, with more of the same expected the next few days. Although weather continues to be a major news story, back east in DC the shit-hitting-the-Republican fan is…
One thing Republicans can’t handle is pushback, and their response is generally a baby-whine of pity and way-dumb self-righteousness, and this morning a fine example — Kevin McCarthy got his feelings hurt by Nancy Pelosi: Just on Monday did McCarthy finally name his five Republican picks for the House Select Committee to investigate the January…
Already the deep-makings of another hot one this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Heat is all over the place. Back east in DC another heated dust-up between prime asshole Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci, which again leads to the question of whether Paul is an idiot or just a way-abnormal shit — he…
Despite the obvious: ‘“There is a clear message that is coming through: This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said at a Friday briefing of the White House COVID-19 Response Team. “Our biggest concern is we are going to continue to see preventable cases, hospitalizations and sadly deaths…

Not only out here in the West with our ‘heat domes,’ but also with…
Cool and nice (relatively-speaking) this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we once again head into the weekend — seems like just Monday yesterday, time flies whether you’re having fun or not. During my scrolling earlier, I came across a pair of interviews already from today at Democracy Now! that seemed to zero-in…
Hot but not unpleasant this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, though we’re forecast for another ‘mega-heat wave’ this weekend (happily about as bad as our last hot spell, but not as ‘mega’ as the one in June), so enjoy for the right now. In surfing the InterWebs, the word, ‘coup,’ in regards to…
Despite being out of office/power for six months, the T-Rump continues to be a center of attention, though, all the notice is horrifying — even knowing full-well with a shitload of evidence he just might be one of the worse human beings who’s ever lived, reports surface he’s somehow worse. T-Rump’s mug to the left…
Journalism, or at least what figures as journalism nowadays, got front-and-center today in another dust-up between the marvelous Jen Psaki, and Fox News‘ Peter Doocy, one tone-deaf dumb-ass: Highlights via Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki disputed Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy on Wednesday about the importance of voting rights.
