War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny, hot, and somewhat-humid this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Even with scattered-overcast skies, it’s going to get warm — we’re in the mid-80s right now, forecast for 103 later this afternoon. Just out back doing a B&M (Wine, Wood-tip), and I could feel the truth in that temperature prediction. Anyway, one of…
Serious news all day — this morning testimony/a review of a terrible-ass insurrection; while this afternoon a slide back in the struggle to get a grip on the COVID-19 virus — the former, all politics and dying, and the latter, horribly also all politics and dying. Republicans and the T-Rump have a lot to answer…
Dominating the news cycle this Tuesday morning by a way-long shot is the opening session of the House Select Committee on the Jan.6 attack on the US Capitol, and began at the most-correct point — testimony from four police officers who defended the building that day. And the all-around best response to the hearing, which…
Even in the vast multitude of crude remarks from the T-Rump, today Kevin McCarthy added an overall collective word to the ever-expanding Republican asshole-lexicon — ‘churlish: 1) like a churl; boorish; rude. 2) of a churl; peasantlike. 3) stingy; mean. 4) difficult to work or deal with, as soil.‘ McCarthy tried to act mockingly, but…
In search of soul, the T-Rump took his Big Lie bullshit on the road today, with an appearance in Phoenix, titled as obvious as possible, “Rally to Protect Our Elections,” which leaves an acid taste in the mouth when read, to hear it spoken could cause immediate, acute diarrhea. Beyond back-slapping some Republican assholes running…
Heavy with heat this late afternoon as all the ‘cool and nice‘ of this morning is way-gone — just now out in the backyard doing a B&M (Wine-Wood-tip) while it being 105-degrees with the air stroked-dense like a dry watercolor. Back inside at the laptop with the AC blasting — so also in the news…
Despite the obvious: ‘“There is a clear message that is coming through: This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said at a Friday briefing of the White House COVID-19 Response Team. “Our biggest concern is we are going to continue to see preventable cases, hospitalizations and sadly deaths…
Hot but not unpleasant this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, though we’re forecast for another ‘mega-heat wave’ this weekend (happily about as bad as our last hot spell, but not as ‘mega’ as the one in June), so enjoy for the right now. In surfing the InterWebs, the word, ‘coup,’ in regards to…
Despite being out of office/power for six months, the T-Rump continues to be a center of attention, though, all the notice is horrifying — even knowing full-well with a shitload of evidence he just might be one of the worse human beings who’s ever lived, reports surface he’s somehow worse. T-Rump’s mug to the left…
Nice and still somewhat-cool this mid-morning Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, though, enjoyable right now, we’re in for some hot-spanking weather later today, and for days into the climate-changing future. Beyond weather and our physical-surrounding environment, we take a quick glance at the shitty mood of politics in America nowadays and how our current…
