War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Pleasant late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on a downswing of some hot-ass days last week and maybe the holiday weekend ahead will at least be nice, weather-wise. And less anxiety-wise, too. One fetching story today is a kind of follow-up to my post this morning on the tale of Cassidy Hutchinson,…
In a period of dark, ominous shit, the backlash off the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade last week might have added fuel to the Democrat side of the voting aisle, and maybe will prove a positive factor in the midterms in November. Some poll work, hopefully, points the way — at Salon this afternoon:…
Despite the dramatic, eyeball-opening testimony yesterday from Cassidy Hutchinson before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup, the Republican party itself will most likely keep shitting our country’s mess kit and will just punch harder against reality. And not seek higher ground from the horror of the T-Rump. Cancer on the presidency and America…
In advance of this afternoon’s House committee hearing on Jan. 6, a look at a near-miss in the horror of the T-Rump and America if the attempted coup had succeeded — lies cornered by lies: Ivanka has her daddy’s blood. In a must-read piece today by Robert Farley at Lawyers,Guns&Money, discussing the horror of the…
Hot, heavy air outside this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine burns a hole even sitting in the shade, with a near-sizzling aura that’s zero fun. Weather is still just the weather. However, something’s that hard to weather is the granite-brain of Republicans, who on the one hand will call the T-Rump…
Hot and delightfully breezy this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley – although it should be boiling and the air heavy as shit (supposedly right now we’re just one-degree shy a hundred), the outside ambience is not so bad, making ‘delightfully breezy‘ a true and poetic weather report. Wind can shift the sense of…
Warm-on-the-border of hot this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — in the low 90s today, but into triple digits starting tomorrow and lasting through rest of the week. Summer catching up quickly. Along with a shitload of sad, unnerving, frightful particulars buzzing around the nowadays, from the before mentioned gathering heat storm to…
Only idiots allowed: Adding to the theme, Digby last week noted the power of Republicans pulling back the curtain on the T-Rump: It is a smart strategy to tell this story through Republicans. It should quell some of the mistrust that’s been sown by Trump and his allies over the fact that the committee only…
Hot even in the shade this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — the new normal is just an expanded version of the old-new normal. Say what? A dumb lead-in to Constitutional crime. Today, too, was the third installment of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup (I watched most of it on…
Breezy and comfortable outside this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the wind is a way-big factor in keeping heat down to manageable levels, though, tomorrow we’re supposedly starting another episode of higher temperatures until at least the weekend. Just it’s been hotter than normal earlier than normal, nothing heavy. Also nothing heavy…
