War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the midst of an age of awful anxiety, here’s more to the weight — from the Guardian this morning: The heat in the world’s oceans reached a new record level in 2019, showing “irrefutable and accelerating” heating of the planet. The world’s oceans are the clearest measure of the climate emergency because they absorb…
Into dangerous uncharted waters this Tuesday evening as reports of Iranian rockets falling onto a couple of Iraqi military bases housing American troops, first retaliatory strikes in the wake of the T-Rump’s command to assassinate Iranian general Qasem Solemani last Thursday. Apparently too early for a response from the T-Rump, but there’s still time… The…
Despite knocking the entire world on its ass last week with the assassination of Iran’s Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad, T-Rump is still quivering about impeachment — he knows bad shit when he smells it: Big pop today (Forbes): ‘Former national security advisor John Bolton said Monday he is willing to testify in…
Asshole T-Rump is even worse than we already know — today’s PsyPost: New research suggests that President Donald Trump’s affinity for fast food can influence the public’s dietary intentions, and potentially contribute to a greater disease burden on society. The new study, published in the journal Appetite, builds upon research that has shown a link between…
A short new year and we’re up to our asses in dangerous shit in a hurry. Despite acting DHS honcho Chad Wolf declaring this morning there’s ‘currently no specific, credible threats against our homeland,’ the fallout from the T-Rump’s command to take-out Qasem Soleimani is still creating diarrhea for just about everybody that’s has walking-around…
Sunshine and a bit warm this late-afternoon of the second day of 2020 here in California’s San Joaquin Valley, a brightness after some pretty-thick morning low-clouds/fog which chilled the shit out of everything. Weather in the age of climate change. And far to the west, Australia is frying and burning from a climate ripped by…
Tomorrow is a brand-new year, but top of the news rounding-out 2019 is a topic decades old — Iraq. Via the Washington Post: Supporters of an Iranian-backed militia besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, breaking through the first layer of security at the embassy compound and damaging a…
Mostly sunny this late-afternoon Monday here in Merced, a place stranded in California’s Jan Joaquin Valley and seemingly lost between Modesto and Fresno — an affliction of ordinary. And it’s the eve of New York’s Eve, where soon we’ll start the beginning of a brand-new year and celebrate the end of another decade. Wonders will…
Considered ‘Partly Cloudy‘ this mid-day Thursday in Merced, midst of California’s San Joaquin Valley, as I attempt to normalize my new home area — resided here thereabouts more than 30 years ago, thus I somewhat grasp my situation/predicament… In 1975 I began my journalism career as a police reporter with The Montgomery Advertiser and in…
Clear and cold this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast — best to enjoy the sunshine as rain is forecast for Saturday, and will supposedly continue until maybe Monday evening. Along with the wet, high winds expected for at least tomorrow. Just a couple of sunny days next week, then more rain called-for starting…
