War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and gray this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a ring of winter in the miserable-looking sky. Meanwhile, back east the T-Rump was hit where it hurts — in the being-a-lying-asshole game. A New York jury this afternoon found two of his companies guilty of 17 counts of tax fraud and other…
Breezy and comfortable outside this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the wind is a way-big factor in keeping heat down to manageable levels, though, tomorrow we’re supposedly starting another episode of higher temperatures until at least the weekend. Just it’s been hotter than normal earlier than normal, nothing heavy. Also nothing heavy…
Ominously well-warm near-mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re much-too-quickly working our way into a new year with summer just around the hot-as-shit corner. Once in a while, you come across something that epitomizes sorry-ass rich people. Published now nearly a month ago, I only just saw it this morning at the great Miss…
Rain and wet coldness this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on the softer-end of an atmospheric river that’s supposed to really bring the state some rain and snow this week. Weather is as weather does. And this evening, another fine example of fraudsters, scammers, and grifters making hay — except when…
A way-hearty laugh amid the constant shitstorms — (h/t tengrain): And in further news for a man who loves hearing a goat gossiping most-cutely across a fence is notice of an increase in Social Security checks, which as a retiree, I utterly and throatily applaud — via CNN just a while ago: Social Security recipients…
Even as the world turns, the debt-ceiling trainwreck is still hollering on down the track with about two weeks left before the US powers off the rails into financial never-never land. Odd, though, the entire bullshit caper is spawned by a political party that doesn’t even pretend to give a shit about what happens to…
Overcast and brown once again this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the blowback/blow-around off wildfires burning south of us. Further proof of days like this of being normal. In another overcast story in California today wasn’t with the weather, but the never-ending COVID pandemic, especially here in the Central Valley, but also surging…
Big news this morning on the legal side of the T-Rump world as it was announced New York prosecutors are not only pursuing a criminal angle, but also now going after the orange turd’s CFO of all the T-Tump bullshit business dealings, inide and out — I have my doubts T-Rump will ever see the…
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…
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…
