War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As I posted yesterday about vote suppression across the US by Republicans, it seems Georgia is not alone in bullshit hypocrisy with Arizona a way-prime example: The GOP is fucked with voters and they know it, and the only way around this Constitutional barrier is to bullshit with Arizona just one of a shitoad of…
Rain expected any time now this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, although showers were forecast to have arrived already, and the way this winter is going, rain-wise, it may not come at all. We’re hurting for water. What’s also in a weird-ass hurt is GOP DC politcians facng the overwhelmingly-popular support from Americans…
(Illustration: A coin issued by Brutus in the autumn of 42 B.C., encrypted with EID MAR (Eidibus Martiis – on the ‘Ides of March’), and was found here). By Eva M. Hardly a surprise. However, I just couldn’t help but shake my head in disgust yesterday when I read that part of Joe Biden’s relief…
Finally, this monrning after way-too-much bullshit: Details via The Washington Post just a bit ago: The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan on Saturday, as Democrats muscled through a marathon debate — and overcame dissent from moderates within their own ranks — to move one step closer to delivering President Biden his first…

America is at a nasty precipice, and whether we go over and down, or turn and walk smartly to the nearest bridge-crossing will be known in the next few days, if not sooner. We’re not only caught up in the surge of an actual catastrophic pandemic, but also face an infectious virus oozing through the…
Yesterday was one of those watershed-type days. Personally, I received an excellent follow-up medical review at UC Davis off my cancer surgery more than two years ago (next exam in a year), and nationally, Joe Biden became POTUS. The latter also a big thumbs-up in the health category. And this morning, a spring in the…
Although the T-Rump did sign the COVID bill last night, it was torture to get hin to do it, emphasis on a mentally-disturbed asshole-prick (h/t on the tweet Daily Kos): The news article mentioned above comes from USAToday at the end of last month; written by Dr. Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, a psychiatrist affiliated with Weill…
UPDATE: ‘Per CNN: President Donald Trump has signed the massive $2.3 trillion dollar coronavirus relief and government funding bill into law Sunday night, according to multiple sources, averting a government shutdown that was set to begin on Tuesday, and extending billions of dollars in coronavirus aid to millions.’ A sigh, followed by a whimper… ***…
