War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
The invasion/war crime in Ukraine brings out the real spunk for humanity even as Vlad Putin and his incompetent army revels in cruelty, there’s a shitload of people after the truth — even in Russia. Just one example of courage: Story via the Guardian this afternoon: Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at Channel One, burst on…
Approaching the noon hour here this Monday in California’s Central Valley — in the news cycle headlines, it’s getting near 10 PM in Ukraine, as the invasion/war is bombing-out in more ways than one. Russia is apparently up to its ass in shit. In their bravery and mettle, the Ukrainians have shown a terrible bright…
Despite a shitload of shit happening all over on many levels and subjects, I doomscrolled on the InterWebs until my fingers wept and concluded the nowadays is an enigma wrapped in a riddle painted by a mystery shoved down a rabbit hole — am I clear? Sad and my fault, i.e., mea culpa to it…
A bit past mid-day here this Sunday in California’s Central Valley — another shine-filled day with a blustery wind keeping the overall temperature down. Just a matter of time, though. Heat wins out in the end. Meanwhile, a couple of tweets I saw this morning seemed to emphasize our current Ukraine/Vlad Putin piece-of-shit and the…
Yeah! This Saturday afternoon my first — and most-likely my only — novel was released by self-publisher Outskirts Press and now it’s floating out there in the literary ether-world after a shitload of time in a cardboard box. First draft was written in the summer of 1994, but how will the finished product look like…
Near dark this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley — another work week gone as 2022 rolls right along. Seems like it was only yesterday and Thursday. Funny-strange, but possible in our current time-blend-cross of a Twilight Zone-influenced Doctor Who episode. In that script, Ukraine continues to have all the action parts — a…
Ukraine continues to be the center of the world’s attention — as it should be — and the whole show appears to be slowly sliding into an even more humane crisis as Vlad Putin’s shitty military has nearly collapsed. The war zone thus will become cities and countryside being blown apart. Coupled with Russian cannon…
Noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another grand day ahead of the heat to soon come scorching this flat, anvil-like area of the state that despite being called the ‘breadbasket of the world,’ gets hotter than shit around these parts in just a way-few short weeks. How farming thrives in such conditions creates…
Apparently, the conflict in Ukraine is picking up according to most news sources, and from indications, the Russians are going for the highest leveling-effect of urban explosions while seemingly aiming for civilian areas — beat the Ukrainians into dust, people, buildings, all of it. A horrid trend: If you can’t beat them, destroy them with…
Near noon here in California’s Central Valley, and the news keeps running through Ukraine. Although Vlad Putin’s boys are losing big time, bungling an invasion and its aftermath, the Ukrainians are holding on tenaciously and beating the sad, incompetent assholes at their own game. Well, not exactly like the Russkies — no murder/mayhem on the…
