War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast-gloomy this early-evening Wednesday in California’s Central Valley, looks and feels like more rain, just as forecast for tonight, along with a 60-percent chance tomorrow. Weather under the weather, too. Still continuing onward the coronavirus, though, new predictions indicate maybe there could be less lives lost than originally expected, a glimmer of hope as ‘pandemic‘…
End of what-used-to-be another work week, but Friday now could easily be a Wednesday in the current state of affairs. Or a Tuesday. Chief topic, of course, remains COVID-19 and all connecting subjects. ‘Surreal‘ is a word I’d use, but it’s getting a bit worn lately, maybe ‘bizarre,’ or ‘freakish‘ in replacement, or perhaps a…
Another terrible slap at the press today from the T-Rump during his now-daily COVID-19 circus events. Called out for his bullshit, he goes mental in anger. The following video is Fox News, sorry (CNN is here): Just about every episode of these update/rallies has at least one encounter with a direct question, usually voiced in…
Sunday used to be usually a slow news day, but not in the nowadays. Although there’s less posting by most blogs, the major news sites keep churning it out, mostly with shit from talking heads, or rehashed newspaper reports, blended with breaking events as pandemic action never stops, until it stops, people die even on…
Once again, a supplementary coronavirus milestone today — the US now has more then 100,000 cases, doubling in just three days, and only two months since our first, original case. We’re number-one in the world! I was wrong yesterday in reporting the number of Merced County’s COVID-19 cases — there’s four not two, which came…
In the face of bad-to-worse news, today some cheer on the environmental front, and a fleeting indication mankind could have a chance to survive, if only we just get-along, and cooperate. (Illustration: ‘Example of a typical jet stream chart across the earth,’ found here). Climate change (now a ‘crisis‘) is the result of how our…
Edging closer to the precipice, yesterday I noted my trip of the post office, but then didn’t really appreciate the pickle postal workers are currently undergoing, working in a most essential of services and getting sick — last Thursday, 13 postal workers nationwide had tested positive for COVID-19; the next day seven more, now the…
Another day in the life. Although we’re under a ‘shelter in place‘ order here in California, I had to visit the post office this morning to mail-off some ‘essential‘ shit least I end up in legal crap. Some things we got to do, even while engaged inside a Twilight Zone episode — I went with…
(Illustration found here). As we spin through this weird-ass conundrum of the coronavirus, our biggest enemy in acquiring a handle on the pandemic is the T-Rump, and his self-centered bullshit that’s impeding an organized assault against spread of the virus. A petulant, incompetent sociopath is in charge of some serious business. Even as another GOPer…
(Illustration found here) Nearly three days into a ‘shelter in place’ routine, the world is freaking out, and shifting into a dystopian landscape getting darker by the day. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order on Thursday under California’s Emergency Services Act is a ‘stay home except for essential needs‘ mandate and we can be charged with…
