War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Intense, full baked-on hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 108 degrees just a while ago, and although it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow (forecast high of 102), it’s all heavy-air shit that requires AC living. Hot, too, the violence in America — and weird-ass gun shit in the LA area this…
Odd how certain subjects flow in the news cycle — I did a shitload of posts on Ukraine for a long while, then SCOTUS popped America a few times upside the head of freedom (plus an influx of gun massacres and cruel, general-tom-ass-foolery of Republican politics), and Vlad Putin’s horror-war journey was pushed to a…
As half the year has glided by seemingly in a flash full of shit news and real-life weirdness, I need to escape the wiles and worries of the nowadays and drown myself in some ‘rain-prominent‘ music, tunes awash/heard in a near-zero precipitation zone. Here in California’s Central Valley — and probably the whole state, including…
In the sweaty Saturday news cycle, shit keeps flowing, though, on the weekends it can slow a bit. Guns and murder continue to play heavily on the wires — the first funerals today for the victims of the Highland Park massacre — and extend to faraway Japan where a homemade shotgun was used yesterday to…
(Illustration of Belgorod submarine, and found here.) Hot and maybe feels a bit humid, too, this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — but make no mistake about the weather, it’s getting more summer by the day. In the flush of the news shit today — and there have been plenty — I came…
A most-major concern for America today is the insanity of the Republican Party. As Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post put it yesterday: The mainstream media insist on treating the Republican Party as a normal party, routinely declining to press them on their party’s embrace of violence, lies and conspiracy theories. President Biden only gingerly…
Across the wide pond this Thursday morning a musical interlude in the sound of a dipshit leaving. Boris Johnson resigned as UK prime minister, but in a slow-stepped process that will supposedly not take place for months — Johnson will stay on until a successor is named — and he’s an idiot with an idiot’s…
In the ever-continuing slow-walking display of justice, the announcement today of another T-Rump lawyer to testify before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup just might be the bridge to getting an indictment against the T-Rump, and then maybe a jail cell for the asshole. One knows hope springs eternal — except with Merrick…
A nice warm to the air this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, and it just might be the last day for a while for pleasant temperatures — reportedly heat on the way with maybe triple-digits temps by the weekend. The last few days seemingly a respite from the dreaded summer burndown, but nothing…
(Salvador Dali’s ‘Fire, Fire, Fire,’ lithograph, c.1971, and found here.) Hot, but cooled by a decent breeze this late-afternoon holiday Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the Fourth of July, America’s supposed birthday. Too much shit going on for the normal red-white-and-blue bullshit — this country is in such a predicament right now this…
