War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Pandemic agitation and horror continue as it appears the US, and most likely the world, will feel a COVID-19 surge this winter (sooner than later) and despite all the vaccines you’d need/want being readily available in this country, the situation is scary in its foolishness. As of this Wednesday evening and according to Johns Hopkins…
In the wake of political news, some climate change notes as we weather tornadoes, atmospheric rivers and other natural calamitous-phenomenon increasing in chaotic intensity as the world warms hotter and hotter. Another must-read climate feature from The New York Times yesterday — a view of the Southern Ocean where Antarctica is going crazy: “From no…
People and events in the news and how they are portrayed to the American public is one of the reasons this country is probably up shit creek without a paddle. Beyond the media roar from last night when the House select committee read aloud text messages sent to Mark Meadows on Jan. 6 from all…
Rain and wet coldness this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on the softer-end of an atmospheric river that’s supposed to really bring the state some rain and snow this week. Weather is as weather does. And this evening, another fine example of fraudsters, scammers, and grifters making hay — except when…
First up above all else for a second this Monday morning — a great, big thank-you to tengrain, who wondrously blogs at Mock Paper Scissors, and who while handling Mike’s Blog Round-up this week at Crooks&Liars, gave this humble, lowly blog a much-appreciated great shout-out today. Tengrain has done it more than once before, so…
One despairing item of the T-Rumpian/GQP destruction of American democracy is the assholes are seemingly doing such horrible shit right out in the open — if not in the open at least with minimum cover. Case in point is top-tier news a T-Rump boy had fashioned a ‘PowerPoint’ slide show on how to steal the…
A Sunday morning nutjobs precipice: The obvious national criminal activity from the T-Rump and his half-wit cronies doesn’t even seem to hamper the scam as he remains free as a bird to plunge onto a dumb-ass grifting-lying tour with quarter-wit asshole Bill O’Reilly and upon their initial blubber-fest last night created a miserable bust in…
As America wades into the start of the 2021 holiday season there’s violent weirdness seeping into the festivities — along with a fatal SUV attack at a Wisconsin parade, Kyle Rittenhouse walking and a shitload of less notable people, places, and things screwing with any kind of spirit of the season. Add to the recipe,…
America is of two camps, one humane and thoughtful, the other, cruel and insane. In the dark shadow of the vicious future of murder and firearm control created by the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, the House earlier today passed Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion social safety net expansion legislation (the BBB — Build Back Better bill), but…
A bit of sunshine finally this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — an emotional good swing from the thick ‘radiation fog’ that’s been enveloping the valley for days on endless days. Sun is happy. Meanwhile, far back east in DC, Paul Gosar was censured today by the House and removed from committee assignments…
