War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Although the T-Rump has been gone from office nearly nine months, his inbred-toxic hatred of humanity remains deeply embedded within Republicans, and just about every day (maybe twice/three times a day) they prove cruelty is the point. Today no exception as Greg Abbott once again flourished with a pure, and complete, lack of self-awareness, or…
(Illustration: ‘again the rebels rushed furiously on our men‘ (1954), by Jacob Lawrence, and found here). Beyond the horrors foiled upon this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley coming from worldwide — for instance: a revolution in Guinea, a massacre in Ethiopia, and in Florida, killing of a baby, its mother, and two other…
Another Friday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley (yet you could be any-or-everywhere) and shit still pesters the news cycle today, dump-or-no-dump, mostly due to the horror of Republicans. Beyond being vile, and cruel, Republicans are not real smart. An example is House investigations of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot — if they’d just okayed the…
Joe Biden is handling a shocker this afternoon, usually in his normal, low-key stand-out approach on the bombings in Afghanistan (death toll has risen, now 13 in total of American military fatalities, with 14 wounded), as the US/NATO endgame’s intensity will most-likely kick-up a notch or two. Supposedly, suicide assholes from the Afghan chapter of…
As a nation, we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place — the rock is the COVID Delta variant, and the hard place are Republicans — even with a vaccine receiving FDA approval, the death cult is intent on killing all of us: Yet first, they’re killing themselves — the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle…
Life continues, and war will keep rolling along, too, even if brakes are applied: Biden’s been pretty-straight about the Afghan shit so far, and this morning he apparently kept it going — via NPR: In a televised address from the White House, Biden said the administration’s first priority in Kabul is getting American citizens out…
Contradiction and lack of any kind of self-awareness is a mainstay of being an idiot Republican nowadays, even if death is on the line: If DeathSantis is not aware, maybe he should be instructed — sarcasm a must from Andy Borowitz at The New Yorker yesterday: TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report) — A group of Florida’s…
Latest installments of the Afghan-disaster chronicles this Friday afternoon, and how fast the week when shit happens. A cascade of events, going from reality to denial. One note of the extreme measures of getting to the airport — via the Guardian‘s live blog this afternoon: The Pentagon said on Friday that the US used three…
Another brown-tinted environment this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley, painted with way-faded yellow sunshine, mingled in with a thin-overcast layer of a hazel-colored sky. Air-breathing outside literally sucks: Our region still looks like Mars and smells like burnt wood, maybe/probably due to all those freaking fires — from The Fresno Bee yesterday afternoon…
(Illustration: ‘Pokrytectvo‘ (The Hypocrisy), by Slovakian artist Rudolf Rabatin, and found here). The biggest obstacle right now in getting any kind of a handle on COVID is the nasty and ignorant pushback from MAGA hatters and other nit-twit assholes fighting science and common sense. A real shitty horror is the massive hypocrisy from the upper…
