War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
The chilled end of the work week quickly approaches this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley and the season continues in fashion — a New Year hastily coming quickly around the cold-ass corner! In the shadow of the Elon Musk bullshit on Twitter, the T-Rump might be going beyond his superhero cards and might…
Cold and clear this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — record rainfall for our area on Saturday, however, but still not enough to drown away the drought. Meanwhile, a big item on the news cycle today — Talking Points Memo has a good series going on the texts T-Rump fourth and last chief…
Fog-bound this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, as we’re dealing with the first seasonal encounter with our infamous, thick-bound ‘tule fog,’ which will grace the landscape for the next couple of months. Wet, gray, and cold for weeks on end — what’s not to love. Although Eltron Husk is working feverously to decimate…
One of the giant problems in handling the bullshit from Republicans is the journalists (supposed journalists) and other media types covering the Republican bullshit. And for instance, from yesterday: Coverage of asshole Republicans is at a fever-pitch dumb-ass. The above isn’t just the rich players like Upchuck Todd at NBC, but also ABC‘s Martha Raddatz,…
In the wake of the wondrous Nancy Pelosi’s press conference this morning, the future of American democracy was quickly put on display — Republicans with a tiny majority in the House will bypass governing and concentrate on pure, obvious bullshit.

Another sunshine-splashed morning here in California’s Central Valley — weather on a Thursday in a week of excitement and suspense — a nice environment right now, but soon due to accelerating climate change becoming not so good in the way-near future. And maybe, too, the blue-tinted midterms from Tuesday might be a hint of salvation…
Sunshine in glorious bursts from behind big, fluffy white clouds this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a wonderous, beautiful day after a most-marvelous midterm election yesterday. The weather feels the yay! whee! effect this morning. Instead of sad and remorse, anxiety attacks coupled with stress headaches, and other sad-sack mental states, there’s…
Despite some drizzling rain, I voted this morning — cast my ballot in probably the most-influential election in my lifetime, and the exuberance at the polling station was viable and democracy-laden heartfelt. The place was crowded and I felt a Democratic flair in the air. Everybody was happy and doing their civic duty. You could…
Another tired, terrible toss at the coming election. If the bad happens, then the worse will follow. At a glance, it seems a shitload of people appreciate just how super-serious this set of midterms is and the consequence if the wrong people are allowed into the wrong places. Of course, there’s only one outlet —…
On the eve of maybe the last weekend of American, old-school-real democracy. a big chunk of those Americans are scared of political violence, primarily as spewed by Republicans. If the tide runs against us, we are indeed f*cked in the dark. Sunny and chilly this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, but the lifestyle…
