War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Deep, wet fog this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a yearly staple for the region, tule fog, which can get thicker-than-shit. However, like a lot of other environmental phenomena nowadays, tule fog is slowly vanishing — when I lived here in the mid-1980s, the fog lasted months, but now it’s down to…
*UPDATE BELOW* Democracy and the law seem worlds apart nowadays with Republicans doing just about anything they want without a peek of a pushback from any legal office — Steve Bannon is still shitting freely weeks after being held in contempt of Congress. And the roll call builds if there’s no jailhouse rock. Today, another…
Enough shit is going on it boggles the mind, and beyond a ton of political news, I spied this tweet which seems to epitomize how we stand right now with the ludicrous game of sane vs the cruelly insane: In contextual leanings: Yesterday, a federal judge overturned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order prohibiting mask…
UPDATE Below: As the law reaches for the fat-neck of the T-Rump, his lawyers filed a request this morning for a momentary stay of the order issued on Tuesday to allow T-Rump’s records to be released to the House committee investigating Jan . 6 by tomorrow evening, and no asshole holds about it. However, T-Rump…
Despite the motion of prosecuting the T-Rump and his cronies moving quickly forward, the legal ramifications of ignoring the due process of law have so far been a wash. And despite, too, the ruling last night from a federal judge that T-Rump’s White House records can/and must be handed over to the Jan. 6 committee,…
Thick overcast and looking like rain this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we had some last night, but none so far today, though, it appears ready to unleash a torrent at any time. Whether how to weather the weather is the big question. Meanwhile, way-back East and the DC circus — I’m…
Couple of important, and deadly news stories this Monday morning (among a shitload, I know), which paint a terrible future. First and most immediate — COVID is now indeed a Red beast: (Illustration: Source: New York Times database, Edison Research; and found here). A real, hardcase reason we’ll seemingly never get rid of COVID, at…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this later-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. On the weekend and the power-slot news is brisk and mostly empty of substance — the following are just a few items of interest I spied while doomscrolling through the Interwebs. Just about everything sucks —…
In the aftermath of Tuesday’s debacle of keeping democracy alive in America a lot has been written about what happened, who’s to blame, and what can be done about it. Most are bullshit, but there’s a crack in the ugly wall of non-governing Republican political shenanigans and if Democrats don’t take action, democracy will easily…
After last night there seems a spiked, ugly knot in my bowels constricting any kind of flow and the end result is no matter the stool softener/laxative used, the shit will only thicken and boil, finding no escape. No matter how you look at it, Democrats just don’t have any kind of strategy to confront…
