War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Afghanistan continues to boil across the news this Monday morning with Kabul a centerpiece of horror, especially at the airport as thousands seek an exit from a country going to Taliban-shit in a wire basket — real-life scenes so bad images are juxtaposed onto a fictional zombie movie: As the Taliban established its full-fledged reign…
As we blunder toward the end of another work week, the climate of human society sucks through a way-small straw. If we can’t even get a portion of Americans to adopt way-obvious, life-saving methods to end/slow-down a horrible, deadly pandemic, how in the shit can we get these same assholes to help take action against…
In a fresh uplifting-downward this Wednesday afternoon in the seemingly never-ending horror story that’s the COVID-19 pandemic, now in its super-wicked ‘Delta’ version, is a new angle on the mega-power-center of this latest surge as prompted by Republican leaders who are pushing death on a personal-grand scale that seems horribly historic in its hideousness —…
One of the more-bizarre and dangerous items on a big-laundry list of shit in the nowadays is the rejection of the obvious in health and science — a pandemic is right-square out in front of the public, and vaccines work. Yet the US — and the world — is currently experiencing a brand-mew COVID surge,…
Weird shit facing America from the right side of the fruit bowl: Classic philosophy — nihilism — for a gut-wrenching portion of our country, who are working tooth-and-nail to destroy what’s left standing — this item originated with an op/ed this morning at The Washington Post by Max Boot, a former Republican, a supporter of…
In the current stock of things this Monday afternoon — like Greece. Today the CDC put Greece and 15 other countries on a “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High” shit list for Americans to travel due to the surge of the Delta variant, while at the same time, Greece itself is in a weather meltdown. Climate change…
Big debate hassle over the use of masks in curbing the spread of the Delta COVID specimen, though, the CDC recommendation vaccinated people again use face coverings is the right call, the main threat to society is not the vaxxed, but the freaking un-vaxxed. A crowd of pretty-much self-centered assholes — even Geraldo Rivera goes…
Weather lede again this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at 94-degrees right now with a forecast buzz-high of 104, which despite what the prediction-people say, feels like we’ve already cleared that bar. All indications for a way-hot afternoon. And heat is a good metaphor for some breaking-big news back in DC…
Some more climate-related items for this Thursday afternoon as the weekend looms just ahead — another wrecked week of weird. A special day today, sort of hand-in-hand with climate change and the environment — Earth Overshoot Day: Greed pretty-much is the origin story for CO2-fed climate change, and a real, up-close view of the self-centered…
A couple of items this Thursday morning that seem to project just what a miserable state-of-affairs is the entire Republican Party — lying, delusional and nasty is their entire bag. Mo Brooks, the asshole from my birth state of Alabama (don’t look down at me, everybody’s got to be from somewhere), will most-likely be forced…
