War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cool and nice this late-afternoon Sunday — the in-between day of the holiday weekend — here in California’s Central Valley as we await the sounds of fireworks exploding in the minds of our dog and cat population, and probably other animal types, too, but I’m only familiar with them. Anyway, slow news day, and came…
UPDATE Below Horrible, heart-breaking news this Saturday morning — one of my most-personal favorite bloggers has died. Known to me only as ‘Big Bad Bald Bastard,’ who conveyed a wondrous humane view of not only the whole, wide, wide world, but also a love-of-life living in Yonkers, New York — a combo sweetly found in…
Pleasant late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on a downswing of some hot-ass days last week and maybe the holiday weekend ahead will at least be nice, weather-wise. And less anxiety-wise, too. One fetching story today is a kind of follow-up to my post this morning on the tale of Cassidy Hutchinson,…
One of the more-interesting, on-topic features I spotted today concerns those ‘omnipresent‘ White House aides, of which Cassidy Hutchinson is currently way-prominent, most-especially even as a former one: Highlights from Zak’s must-read piece at The Washington Post this morning: Washington is run by aides, or at least it runs on the work of aides: the…
Cool in the shade this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a much easier, nicer day with just a hint of a breeze, temperatures just in the 90s. Evidence of the hot-heat in the valley recently, temps ‘just in the 90s‘ — a new normal of weather when hot is found to be relative…
Exciting life nowadays. In the midst of shit, a glimmer of positive news — via SciTechDaily: ‘Just in time for worldwide Asteroid Day: a threatening space rock lingered at the top of risk lists around the globe for months, with a real chance of striking Earth on April 2, 2052. Now, ESA’s asteroid team working…
In a period of dark, ominous shit, the backlash off the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade last week might have added fuel to the Democrat side of the voting aisle, and maybe will prove a positive factor in the midterms in November. Some poll work, hopefully, points the way — at Salon this afternoon:…
Despite the dramatic, eyeball-opening testimony yesterday from Cassidy Hutchinson before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup, the Republican party itself will most likely keep shitting our country’s mess kit and will just punch harder against reality. And not seek higher ground from the horror of the T-Rump. Cancer on the presidency and America…
Even a nice wind can’t mitigate the heat this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. A most-singular item with handling weather nowadays is whether you can actually weather the weather. In such nonsense, a contextual angle to all that shit is American democracy received high-weather marks today with…
As we wait for the reported appearance of Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to the nit-witted, nefarious Mark Meadows, to testify live before the Jan. 6 committee hearing, expected to start in about an hour, let’s jump on a personal subject for a second or two. My recently self-published novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,”…
