War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Usually, in putting together the couple of posts I do about every day, there’s always some seemingly-more interesting than the dozens of serious/important news items flashing across our screens 24/7, and one or two worthy of the time to build a page on it. Today felt like more than just one was blinking red in…
After an elderly guy in Placer County died in March 2020, the first COVID-19 death in California, the state with the rest of the country went into near-shock mode with lockdowns/shutdowns/stay-at-home orders, etc. that would put a wedge into the normalacy of living. We here in California shut-her-down first in the country and after attempting…
Even as a lot of Americans are being vaccinated against COVID-19 — I’ve been fully-vaxxed for two months — this pandemic will never be truly over until the world is fully-vaxxed, too, and until then life will be ‘not‘ normal. In fact, there’s been more COVID deaths in the six months of this year then…
Although the entire concept is crazy — an incentive to make you get a free, easy, near-painless injection that could save you or your family from a most-gruesome death — and these inducements have ranged from doughnuts, beer, hard-liquor, even lottery winnings, in an effort to get dumbass people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. WTF!…
A voice of reason and science in a plague of bullshit, Anthony Fauci continues to keep the COVID-19 menace in full view. In an interview at the Guardian yesterday, he again flashed a warning: “We don’t want to declare victory prematurely because we still have a ways to go … But the more and more…
Although we here in the US of A are seemingly getting a handle on COVID-19 — supposedly 70-percent of our adult population could be vaccinated by this summer — such a stance can’t be felt worldwide. If the world can’t return to a so-called ‘normal,’ nobody ever will. Anthony Fauci in an interview at the…
Why we can’t have nice things: And when the adults have to take precautions with children acting like little whiny assholes — via Salon this evening: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is requiring that all members in the House of Representatives continue wearing masks, despite new guidance from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that…
Finally, the time has come — if you’ve been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 the CDC announced today you don’t have to wear a mask, or even social distance yourself if you’re indoors, a heart-felt move toward more-fully opening society. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing this afternoon: ‘“We have all longed for this…
As Joe Biden gets ready to make his first speech to a joint session of Congress tonight, rolling with a theme of “America is on the move again,” there’s a bit of history, too: ‘He’ll deliver a speech more than a year into the pandemic with the smallest audience in recent memory and a backdrop…
Where does the asshole stop? Tucker Carlson is not only an unmitigated liar, but anti-societal in his rantigs about masks and the fever dream of freedoms. Indeed the horrors of irony are so lost on the right-handed nutjobs creating chaos in a dangerous environment. Despite the deaths of 572,850 Americans in just a bit more…
