War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Yesterday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm spoke ominously on how susceptible the US is to hackers: ‘Asked By CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” whether the nation’s adversaries have the capability of shutting it down, Granholm said: “Yeah, they do.”‘ And how did the asshole who claims he’s “a very stable genius” react —…
A sort of update/continuance of my post this morning on the action of one asshole, Joe Manchin, in proclaiming despite a shitload of evidence to the contrary, he’s not going to vote for the ‘For The People Act,’ because the voting-reform bill is too ‘partisan’ and would destroy the country. Bullshit — as I noted…
Joe Manchin is a self-centered, self-righteous asshole. He made it official this morning in an unofficial opinion piece he’d never vote for the ‘For The People Act‘ — maybe the only sole/soul survivor in the fight to contain the Republican-led tsunami-like voter supprssion laws cascading across the country — and the shitheel did it with…
(Illustration: Section of the Dash-E Lut desert, located in Iran. Image found here). Once considerd for a long time the hottest spot on earth, California’s own Death Valley, has now lost the hot seat to two other sites across the globe, according to a new study — Iran’s Lut Desert (pictured above), and the Sonoran…
In the spirit of murderous mass shootings, and coming yesterday way-ironically on National Gun Violence Awareness Day — this is asshole-insane: Details via KTLA, updated last night: A federal judge Friday overturned California’s three-decade-old ban on assault weapons, ruling that it violates the constitutional right to bear arms. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San…
Nice drop to a Friday semi-crazy news dump, and who would have guessed UFOs would receive sincere appraisal from government agencies, especially NASA, but we live in all-around strange times. From Wikipedia: ‘In ufology, a close encounter is an event in which a person witnesses an unidentified flying object.‘ Hence, here we are: Details per…
Reality bites the hand (h/t MissCellania): Although the T-Rump is the asshole who let the proverbial horse out of the reality barn, the Republican party has been slipping the bonds of crazy for decades, made-more intense by Sarah Palin and then gushed-forth with the MAGA hatters. GQPers in Congress blather lies and bullshit because they…
(Illustration ‘Tipping Point,’ by Ingram Pinn, and found here). Beyond the normal shitstorms of modern life in real time, probably and most-likely the greatest horror facing all of us here on planet earth inches forward quickly, though in a more-subtle motion, to a decisive break where we’d be f*cked no matter what we do —…
In further context off my post late-afternoon yesterday about the brain malfunction of Republicans to handle reality of truth, which is due to way-many sources of enormous falsehoods, which in turn creates an indirect, eager push of T-Rump’s Big Lie of a stolen election, warping the basic-block of low-intelligent base of GQP voters to sense…
(Illustration found here). As much bullshit is scattered about nowadays, it wasn’t surprising to learn today, according to a new study, conservatives/right-wingers/Republicans have a hard time grasping the truth of a matter. The research-study was published at ScienceAdvances — main ingredient: ‘Results confirm that conservatives have lower sensitivity than liberals, performing worse at distinguishing truths…
