War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Hot and getting hotter this noon Saturday in California’s Central Valley — we’re right now at 97-degrees with a wide-open, bright sunshine-filled afternoon ahead to reportedly maybe top out at 107 before the sun sets. Despite trying hard, I didn’t get put out early enough this morning to take a long walk (as normal) with…
Clear and bright with temperatures climbing to under 100 this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley and the next couple of days we’ll join a goodly chunk of the rest of America with furnace-like conditions — the only thing, we’ll supposedly be a little cooler than, say, Texas, but free of apocalyptic smoke from…
Bright sunshine and gathering-warmth temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valey — another day in the hot-stacked, rapid road to summer triple-digit numbers upcoming, maybe tomorrow, if not, Saturday at least. Weather is neither hot nor cold, but constant — nuts to be sure. Also nuts is the state of America’s democracy, though,…
As we await news on the submersible, known as “Titan,” missing since Sunday on a sight-seeing trip to the deep-sea-sunken Titanic, there was a couple of incidents in the House today that kept the interests nauseatingly viable — both stories on the shittiness of House Republicans and their wayward agenda of spite and arrogant ignorance.…
(Sketch-image of T-Rump in court by Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, and found here.) Although scenes today of the T-Rump entourage in Miami appeared at first look as normal, low key and, maybe, a bit bland, but in reality the scene was surreal as shit. One of the most despised, despicable, dipshit assholes on the planet took a…
Clear, bright sunshine and coolish temperatures in the shade this noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — does feel way-warm in the sun, however. Just another pre-summer, glorious day to enjoy before it’s too late. Meanwhile far to the east in New Hampshire this morning, the supposedly number-one not-Trump Republican aspirant for president revealed…
Sunshine again, but with cooler temperatures this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. The major linchpin cruising through today’s news cycle is the angry debt ceiling reality deadline approaching at the end of this month. Republicans, of course, are still holding the discussions hostage with a desire to sink the country if they can’t…
Sunshine and warm skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — once again, a day in the life. News nowadays makes me more than a little depressed. I doomscroll the InterWebs seeking ideas for a post and get so shitty-assed gloomy I don’t want to set at the laptop and write. Over the…
In doomscrolling across the InterWebs this fine, hot Monday, the biggest jump-out is another case of a literal bat-shit crazy on democracy. Violence in wholesome politics: Details via The Washington Post just a few minutes ago: A person with a baseball bat went to U.S. Rep. Gerald E. Connolly’s Fairfax, Va., office Monday and assaulted…
As time moves along, the civil trial of the T-Rump on rape charges brought by E. Jean Carroll continues to roll rapidly along with the case exposing the piece-of-shit as a lying, nasty piece of shit — via a TPM wrap this afternoon: The jury in the civil trial in which author E. Jean Carroll…
