War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Beautiful late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine and warm temps starting about noon following a foggy, chilly morning. Weather is way-oblique in its own existence, fog to sunshie, cold to hot, sometimes in minutes, and sometimes — maybe most-of-the-time — has an original game plan, too, and we humans are out of…
As Congressional hearings were held today on the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building — a joint investigation by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Senate Rules and Administration Committee — we really didn’t learn anything new, except the way-known fact it was a T-Rump incited clusterfuck to continue the…

There’s no art to the deal if you cheat on your taxes and then get caught — T-Rump lost a precious point today and hopefully edged closer to a jail cell as SCOTUS ruled in a one-sentence order, with no recorded dissents, that his tax records are to open to prosecutors: Not only did the…

It does say something when one piece of shit bad-mouths another piece of shit (h/t tweet Daily Kos): Texas crewe on the cruz: Onward into nowhere… (Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here).

One of the top-tier news stories the last few cycles has been the weather in Texas, and really, throughout the southern US as a whole, and really, weather in general and how grisly our living enviroment is right now. Although here in California’s Central…
