War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
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…
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…
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…
(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…
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,…
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…
