War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Artwork: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here.) Sunshine and heat this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — today is one of the steps on a rising-temperature stairway we’re going to experience in the next couple of days. Although we’re in the high 80s right now, maybe triple digits by Saturday.…
Seasonal heat fills this way-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — this might be the actual, real first day of summer, though, the official first day is still an exact week away. Temps going up from here on out — that’s the start mark. Also on the mark, the aftermath of T-Rump’s arraignment…
(Sketch-image of T-Rump in court by Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, and found here.) Although scenes today of the T-Rump entourage in Miami appeared at first look as normal, low key and, maybe, a bit bland, but in reality the scene was surreal as shit. One of the most despised, despicable, dipshit assholes on the planet took a…
Smokey-overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — warm, and seemingly a bit humid, too. Meanwhile, how do you handle what you don’t know? In the T-Rump indictment case, as he rolled into Miami today to await the perp walk scheduled for tomorrow, Republicans of every stripe, from Congressasses to sidewalk MAGA hatters,…
End of the work week this late-afteroon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — yet just the beginning of the weekend and T-Rump’s nasty, shitty little dance with the law. One of the best explainers of this whole T-Rump classified documents indictment deal can be found at Politico (h/t tengrain), and well beyond my meager…
Wow, step away from the InterWebs for a couple of days — my son made a wonderful surprise visit and I had no time to post, or even barely follow the news — and the shit hits the fan. T-Rump was indicted by the DOJ in a mass of charges, 37 in all, on the…
While we wait for the slow-moving Senate to vote on the debt ceiling bill passed by the House yesterday — after some idiotic series of votes on amendments to the bill (all to fail) it will be featured for a full Senate vote this evening, with Chuck Schumer vowing to stay in session: ‘“We will…
Beyond the debt ceiling vote coming up shortly, a T-Rump scoop hit the news airwaves this afternoon — an audio tape of the asshole talking/acknowledging he’s holding classified documents — hopefully a clinching linchpin to indicting the Orange Turd. A major kick: ‘The tape was made during a meeting Mr. Trump held in July 2021…
End of another work week this Friday evening, Republicans are homeward bound from Congress, and the country is going to shit in a wire basket — at least until June 5, so says Janet Yellen, then who knows. Meanwhile and despite the noise, T-Rump has just finished a most-shitty week himself, which couldn’t have happened…
Sunshine and early-spring-like temperatures this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — these days are the ones we’ll fondly remember in about another month or so. Or maybe earlier. I’ve got a feeling summer’s going to be a hot bitch, and not the good kind either. Also, a bitch still this morning is Ron…
