War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Today week will mark one of the biggest events in recent memory — the usual, ‘normal‘ midterm election that’s anything but ‘normal.’ In fact, it’s a major abnormal. Along with all kinds of life particulars on the line — abortion, Social Security, Medicare, and election integrity, to name just a way-few — but democracy itself…
Overcast gray this late-afternoon Friday in California’s Central Valley — rain forecast for next week as the season changes slowly from one scene to another. Although a bit chilly, the outside air carries a strange warmth from maybe this past year’s heat. A bit of whim and fantasy there as it’s just an aftertaste. And…
Another fine autumn episode this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Weather pretty-much as good as it gets around these parts — a comfortable space before the dread of winter. Further upcoming dread is the participation of right-sided assholes in today’s political river of election bullshit — Republicans are not only cruel, shitty, and…
Weekend sensibilities this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley with nice weather coupled with seemingly not much way-horrible news makes relaxing sense. Yet even some good news was reported just a short while ago — a police surveillance team in Stockton, a city about an hour’s drive from where I’m located, has arrested a…
Nice, and maybe a bit chilly this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley with a cool breeze tempering the warmish sunshine — another autumn day to the growing roster before crisp becomes cold. Worse maybe still is how fast 2022 has burned through the calendar. In a sense, hard to believe it’s quickly approaching…
Another warm but comfortable late afternoon here this Tuesday in California’s Central Valley — autumn keeps the hope alive of a decent season before winter’s gloom arrives with its habitual, and dangerous ‘tule fog.’ Whether we’ll weather it is another story. A kind of multileveled news day for events and people, mostly revealing the noticeable…
Beyond the dung of baby-like news on a Friday evening — the Twitter machine pops a good T-Rump dump — ugly to showcase the T-Rump in any form, but unhinged, asshole he is without doubt: And further a poser sign of the ludicrous-idiocy of our age: In context: Along with that, the great political satirist…
Warm but way-comfortable this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — nice kickoff to the weekend. We’re supposed to stay this way for a few more days, which makes shitty-shit somewhat, near-tolerable. And in the discussion of shitty-shit, Republicans today rolled out their supposed agenda, another bilge crack of window-dressing non-particulars from 30 years…
Rain clouds but no rain to speak of this late afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe we’ll get some more of the wet stuff tonight and tomorrow, but so far it’s been a bust for precipitation for the region. Of course, not so everywhere — maybe ask the folks way-wet in Japan,…
Wonderful weather this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, in fact, probably as good-as-it-gets around these parts — temps in the low 70s, clear with plenty of sunshine, as seemingly autumn be here a few days early. Meanwhile, back to shitty — Republicans are becoming more-obvious in being cruel assholes: And way stupid —…
