War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Although there’s some thin cloud cover this Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, the outside is still hot with the high today forecast to be in triple digits again, and a real scorcher is supposedly scheduled for this weekend. One must weather the weather. However, political weather is a little harder to suffer through, especially…
Weird shit facing America from the right side of the fruit bowl: Classic philosophy — nihilism — for a gut-wrenching portion of our country, who are working tooth-and-nail to destroy what’s left standing — this item originated with an op/ed this morning at The Washington Post by Max Boot, a former Republican, a supporter of…
Big debate hassle over the use of masks in curbing the spread of the Delta COVID specimen, though, the CDC recommendation vaccinated people again use face coverings is the right call, the main threat to society is not the vaxxed, but the freaking un-vaxxed. A crowd of pretty-much self-centered assholes — even Geraldo Rivera goes…
A news-worthy Friday with all kinds of shit making the cycle along with the continuing weather stories, COVID surging through vaxxed and un-vaxxed and the T-Rump getting skinned. Not only was he busted for coup incitement, but was also slapped hard by the dreaded, Achilles heel, always-present personal-fright-fight to keep his taxes hidden: ‘The Treasury…
Weather lede again this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at 94-degrees right now with a forecast buzz-high of 104, which despite what the prediction-people say, feels like we’ve already cleared that bar.

Serious news all day — this morning testimony/a review of a terrible-ass insurrection; while this afternoon a slide back in the struggle to get a grip on the COVID-19 virus — the former, all politics and dying, and the latter, horribly also all politics and dying. Republicans and the T-Rump have a lot to answer…
Dominating the news cycle this Tuesday morning by a way-long shot is the opening session of the House Select Committee on the Jan.6 attack on the US Capitol, and began at the most-correct point — testimony from four police officers who defended the building that day.

In a display that’s getting old and worn, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki schooled Fox News‘ Peter Doocy afresh today on COVID facts and figures — some ‘reverse gotcha’ podium speak: Details per Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday was forced to explain the basics of the coronavirus pandemic to…
In search of soul, the T-Rump took his Big Lie bullshit on the road today, with an appearance in Phoenix, titled as obvious as possible, “Rally to Protect Our Elections,” which leaves an acid taste in the mouth when read, to hear it spoken could cause immediate, acute diarrhea.
