War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another Eve is in the works, and this one awaits the hot rock possibility of a horrid immediate future. Foggy and correspondingly damp this early evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hours away from a new year already acting almost like a fevered cartoon. After a most-wonderful visit last week with family up…
A week of holiday travel — I’ll be off the blog for the next few days (most likely not to return until this coming weekend) as I am involved in a semi-long road trip tomorrow, followed by a three-day visit with family up in northern California. Time will melt until then. Enjoy yourselves (all three/five…
Sunshine and a bit of warmth here this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. One of the better, nicer days in the last couple of weeks — a bit of rain along with the seasonal return of the valley’s winter plague, ‘tule fog,‘ has made most of this month’s weather a bit on the…
Even as the world goes crazy into the looming holidays, the stink of an Orange Turd is felt/heard all over this land. One wonders why this hasn’t played out more openly before: Background/details per Meidas Touch this afternoon: The hashtag #TrumpSmells quickly skyrocketed to the top trending topic in the United States on X after…
In the process of being, a couple of courtroom tales to weigh in this Tuesday evening — time enough to feel some hope and refreshment for 2024 here in the growing darkness at the tail-end of this miserable year. Rudy, STFU! MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade on today’s “Morning Joe” (via Raw Story): “I think…
In a short space this early-evening Monday, let’s momentarily (if we can) escape from the American political/culturally highly-disenfranchised diarrhea of news and focus maybe on an even bigger issue that is coming at us fairly quickly — climate change. Pretty much already known information there’s a 100 percent chance 2023 will be the hottest-ever: NOAA…
Weekend again and on this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley there’s a sense of the horror that would come from a second trip to the White Houe next year for the T-Rump — a lot of media attention has been paid the last few weeks on how horrid-shitty would the re-election of the…
As we spatter further along, the T-Rump was in Iowa today, this evening, and the shit was at high tide. Despite the Orange Turd being a horrifying human being, a criminal liar, and a pure asshole, the undeniable stance of his followers is a thing to behold — what the living fuck? The world has…
Ending the workweek this Friday evening with a glance at Hunter Biden and how House Republicans can’t get their shit together to even offer nonsensical accusations at Joe Biden’s son — yesterday Hunter was indicted again on tax changes, like not paying taxes and tax evasion, nine counts in all, some felonies. some misdemeanors. House…
In a year of note-worthy union accomplishments across a wide variety of occupations from show biz to the auto industry, now it’s the media’s turn to stand in the labor spotlight — today about 750 editorial employees of The Washington Post are staging a one-day (24-hour) writers’ strike. The Post Guild union says management is…
