War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Although I wrote this morning on the lop-sided power of a minority Republican party to wield such chaos-causing power on American society, there is, however, apparently some chinks in the T-Rump armor, from Liz Cheney’s turbulent blasts, to the feds breathing down the orange-turd’s legal neck, with the peace in the MAGA world really a…
One nasty feature of Republicans is always playing ‘the victim card‘ no matter the circumstances: ‘After the attempted coup, the mood in the pro-Trump world became one of profoundest self-pity.‘ And that’s the GQP fall-back stance on everything — they’re the casualty in all the toss-and-tumble of politics. Bullshit. The victim here is America, and the…

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside again, or maybe even stay inside, depends on the chance: Details via SpaceNews on Friday: China launched the first module for its space station into orbit late Wednesday, but the mission…
Here it is Sunday way-again — we’re now in the fifth month of 2021 and the days have churned past quicker than those cinematic calendar pages rapidly flipping, illustrating the way-fast passage of time. Result of that film scene would be at the end of the sequence some weird shit usually happens. December 2020 seems…
The T-Rump’s 100 days out of office is a reflection of really being pathetic, and would be sad if he wasn’t such a horrendous, psychotic monster incapable of even slightly-acting like a normal human being. Instead of any kind of legitimate post-presidential action, the T-Rump working out of a converted bridal suite at Mar-A-Lago is…
Today marks the anniversary of that infamous White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner where then-President Obama roasted the shit out of the T-Rump, and most-likely put such a scar on the weasel he caused great harm to befall the US five years later. And that horror sustains itself to this very day. Thanks, Obama. No, wrong!…
(Illustration: California drought from April 2020 to April this year, and found here). Although the Joe Biden administration is attempting a full-throttle fight against the searing, on-going, rapidly-accelerating climate-change phenomenon, the heating of the planet continues with wide-ranging consequences. Here in California the obvious effect is water — there’s barely any, which leads to our…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
Joe Biden’s speech last night to a joint session of Congress was a way-apparent success and a BFD — one of those orations that not only sits well in the mind, but had enough bite to float in the memory for awhile. Not only the image of two females behind him on the dias, but…
As Joe Biden gets ready to make his first speech to a joint session of Congress tonight, rolling with a theme of “America is on the move again,” there’s a bit of history, too: ‘He’ll deliver a speech more than a year into the pandemic with the smallest audience in recent memory and a backdrop…
