War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Earlier this morning I was in the process of working on a political post — maybe a Mike Lindell/T-Rump be-alike scenario — but then saw the weird-ass number of gun-violence stories last night and I just had to switch to a firearm-centric plot, my second such in less than a week (first one here, if…
And finally, the boil has come home to roost — tweet below my NWS forecast for right-about now for where I live, California’s Central Valley, as the massive heat wave which just hours ago was located mostly in the US SW has shifted: We’re expecting triple-digit temperatures today and for a few days to come,…
Set aside for a minute the Joe/Vlad face-to-face on the shores of peaceful Lake Geneva, or even the nauseous, toxix Repubican party here in the US, seeking to erase democracy, or the outbreak of vicious gun violence that’s sweeping this country — mass shootings are being normalized by their countinous occurrence — or maybe a…
Usually, in putting together the couple of posts I do about every day, there’s always some seemingly-more interesting than the dozens of serious/important news items flashing across our screens 24/7, and one or two worthy of the time to build a page on it. Today felt like more than just one was blinking red in…
After an elderly guy in Placer County died in March 2020, the first COVID-19 death in California, the state with the rest of the country went into near-shock mode with lockdowns/shutdowns/stay-at-home orders, etc. that would put a wedge into the normalacy of living.

Beyond the anti-democratic horrors created by Republicans for this country’s immediate weeks and months, these ass-wipes are also endangering the not-so-distant future for the entire freaking planet — climate change is a most-way-real catastrophe and it’s not a matter of ‘if,’ but ‘when,’ which in reality is much-closer than even often-used so-called ‘around the corner.’…

Sunny but cooler than normal this Monday afternoon in California’s Central Valley, a seemingly off-day from the heat we’ve experienced the last week or so — yet the weather still carries the imprint of a scorched-earth era again, which appears part of our statehood status for the nowadays.…
(Illustration: Section of the Dash-E Lut desert, located in Iran. Image found here). Once considerd for a long time the hottest spot on earth, California’s own Death Valley, has now lost the hot seat to two other sites across the globe, according to a new study — Iran’s Lut Desert (pictured above), and the Sonoran…
Nice drop to a Friday semi-crazy news dump, and who would have guessed UFOs would receive sincere appraisal from government agencies, especially NASA, but we live in all-around strange times. From Wikipedia: ‘In ufology, a close encounter is an event in which a person witnesses an unidentified flying object.‘ Hence, here we are: Details per…
(Illustration ‘Tipping Point,’ by Ingram Pinn, and found here). Beyond the normal shitstorms of modern life in real time, probably and most-likely the greatest horror facing all of us here on planet earth inches forward quickly, though in a more-subtle motion, to a decisive break where we’d be f*cked no matter what we do —…
