War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Topsy-turvey life this Saturday afternoon as we face problems from various fronts, including directly overhead. Last week, China launched a Long March 5B rocket carrying a big piece of that country’s next space station, but the 23-ton core stage has been losing altitude since and will soon make what is called “uncontrolled re-entry” back to…
Once again the COVID virus strikes the asses of millions — a possible price sky-rocket for toiet paper. Maybe no shortage this time, just only the rich will be able to afford proper materials — opening a gap between the haves, and the have-nots. Or black-market shit paper: Shit-paper details from CNN this afternoon: “We’ve…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
Joe Biden’s speech last night to a joint session of Congress was a way-apparent success and a BFD — one of those orations that not only sits well in the mind, but had enough bite to float in the memory for awhile. Not only the image of two females behind him on the dias, but…
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…
Anyone who does any driving — Before Times and the COVID pandemic, of course — can see our roadways, bridges and assorted, related structures are shot-to-shit and have been in crappy-dangerous condition for a long time. In fact, you have to go back 65 years to the last activity with our transportation/electrical grid complex and…
As the ‘normal‘ is made the new ‘abnormal‘ in this day-and-age, Joe Biden is taking the bull by the horns and moving this country in the right direction despite the over-stuffed spasms of Republicans, who are drowning in bile and ignorance without lifting a finger. Hence, this afternoon the first gathering of Joe’s team: Some…
When I read about this particular subject this morning, I was kind of floored. Despite this being right now and not 1975, Joe Biden’s team needs to re-evauate this situation pretty quick. Paul Waldman at The Washington Post earlier today: ‘But what it shows is that the federal government is in many ways still gripped…
A major problem in Amerca right now is the Republican Party. They’re all assholes. As a nation we’re facing a massivce health event — COVID-19, whch has already claimed 550,000 American lives in just a bit more than a year — with the way-added weight of the economic fallout off the virus (770,000 unemployment claims…
Living through this perilous age has caused pessimism to be forcibly the norm, however, events the past few weeks has seemingly shifted that view around a bit. Now we have a perception that a return to ‘normal’ (whatever that was/is) might be close at hand — even polls reflect such: Optimism is becoming the norm in…
