War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Breezy-sunshine this early-evening Thursday lolling in California’s Central Valley. Another episode of the continuing crazy-ass nowadays.

Earlier in the afternoon during a smoke break with my daily Black&Mild, our current living scenario made me for some reason (and not really pondering…
A warm, though, breezy Tuesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, a beautiful, sunny, content-looking postcard of all-is-well and not a freaking thing out of place — Not! Appearances can really be dangerously deceiving. Yesterday, some bad local coronavirus news — Merced County is up to 10 coronavirus cases, one from community spread, the others…
Another terrible slap at the press today from the T-Rump during his now-daily COVID-19 circus events. Called out for his bullshit, he goes mental in anger. The following video is Fox News, sorry (CNN is here): Just about every episode of these update/rallies has at least one encounter with a direct question, usually voiced in…
Sunday used to be usually a slow news day, but not in the nowadays. Although there’s less posting by most blogs, the major news sites keep churning it out, mostly with shit from talking heads, or rehashed newspaper reports, blended with breaking events as pandemic action never stops, until it stops, people die even on…
Once again, a supplementary coronavirus milestone today — the US now has more then 100,000 cases, doubling in just three days, and only two months since our first, original case. We’re number-one in the world! I was wrong yesterday in reporting the number of Merced County’s COVID-19 cases — there’s four not two, which came…
Today another milestone for the US in the COVID-19 pandemic — our death toll now stands at 1,000, and apparently a tally ‘increasing at an alarming rate.’ And we’ve now topped China and Italy in confirmed cases, the most in the world, with 82,404 — China is at 81,782, Italy sitting third at 80,589. Reportedly,…
In the face of bad-to-worse news, today some cheer on the environmental front, and a fleeting indication mankind could have a chance to survive, if only we just get-along, and cooperate. (Illustration: ‘Example of a typical jet stream chart across the earth,’ found here). Climate change (now a ‘crisis‘) is the result of how our…
Hurrah! Hurrah! This lady the best (biggest h/t C&J this morning): What the fuck else can we say… (Illustration found here).
Even as seemingly the coronavirus pandemic is curling around the US — the World Health Organisation (WHO) yesterday reported we could be the new epicenter because of a “very large acceleration” in infections — the T-Rump is bound-and-determined to make sure the moneyed interests of a select few Americans are safe and secure. Despite the…
Edging closer to the precipice, yesterday I noted my trip of the post office, but then didn’t really appreciate the pickle postal workers are currently undergoing, working in a most essential of services and getting sick — last Thursday, 13 postal workers nationwide had tested positive for COVID-19; the next day seven more, now the…
