War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
We all know rhe T-Rump hates losers, and that’s due to the unmistakable fact he himself is a giant loser. And he does a shitty job of trying to gloss-over the fact, despite all the energy given to trying to hide it. Odd, too, he’s not only a political loser, but he’s way-more a financial…
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… ***…
Family of the T-Rump need to ready themselves for legal matters: Ivanka is up to her fashion-tinted eyeballs in an example of early-in-the-presidential-game T-Rump grift: She testified in a lawsuit on ‘misuse’ of inaugural funds: ‘The Washington, D.C. attorney general’s office sued the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) in January, alleging the committee misused over…
Sunny and breezy a few minutes past the Thursday noon hour here in California’s Central Valley. Warm, but not bad and nowhere like the last couple of days, the cool wind helps, I’m sure — blogging yard-style once more, grown used to doing the laptop business outside (inside mostly on the iPad), my daughter’s apartment…

Big puffy clouds and sunshine this Monday evening on California’s north coast — we didn’t get the forecast rain today, but reportedly rain called-for tomorrow afternoon. Just have to wait and see… We all know the T-Rump is a corrupt asshole, yet: Grifter-in-chief and king of corruption — at New York Magazine this afternoon: The…
Tomorrow will be the 12th anniversary of the Great Recession’s fiscal origin moment: ‘On June 22, 2007, Bear Stearns pledged a collateralized loan of up to $3.2 billion to “bail out” one of its funds, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund, while negotiating with other banks to loan money against collateral to another fund,…
(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). Dark gray skies, overcast/low clouds,and a near-gloomy Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — rain forecast for Tuesday, so there’s that… Add to the ash-like attitude, a real-scary craziness of the T-Rump amplified in an interview published yesterday at CBC/Radio-Canada with Jonathan Greenberg, a journalist for…
Overcast and gray this Monday evening on California’s north coast — low clouds and darkness coming pretty-quickly. Earlier in the afternoon, Little River State Beach was nice, though, even in a kind of brown, drab, near-colorless setting. A beach dog-romp is always nice, no matter the weather. Sunshine expected tomorrow, so there’s that… Once again,…
Bright and windy this early-evening Wednesday on California’s north coast — a simply-gorgeous day, and even with a chilled and sharp breeze, the Ma-‘e’l Dunes in Manila was still a good hike area earlier this afternoon for me and the dogs..
