War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the disarray in full display — from this afternoon’s Washington Post update on shit just happening so far this particular day was this real shitty note: ‘After video showed law enforcement in Minneapolis slashing the tires of protesters’ cars, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety acknowledged that State Patrol troopers at times “strategically deflated…
Interesting in the context of civil unrest, the military side of the T-Rump bluster has turned the coin: Since the T-Rump’s ‘dominate’ rant, his blubbering about instigating the Insurrection Act, and subsequent walk to the church Monday evening the shit has hit the military fan. Not only are protesters protesting the T-Rump White House, but…
Just short of the Thursday noon hour here in California’s Central Valley with temperatures near 100-degrees already as we get set for another hot/hottest afternoon ahead. Not much breeze, either, which makes the heat feel even warmer despite being way-warm anyway. Notwithstanding the serial clusterfucks now swirling around us, the old stand-by/background-noise/cataclysm of climate change…
Hot to say the least this Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — just turning 6 PM and it’s still 100-freaking-degrees, and apparently won’t really be tepid until well after dark. Tomorrow the same with a forecast high of 106. Then some cooling through the weekend. Summer, summer hitherto not here… And again today protests across…
Soft breezes and heavy-heat this late-afternoon Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, supposedly 94-degrees right now with nearly three hours of daylight left. Somewhere in the low-80s by dark– tomorrow starts a two-day hot flash: temperatures Wednesday and Thursday reportedly in triple-digits. Hot flashes weather, metaphorically speaking. Those light-yellow flowers top-left of the photo shown, I…
Overcast and mostly quiet this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Seemingly, with every day an acceleration of a shitty ride further into calamity. And today no exception: Hysteria over this is natural, but the T-Rump is only playing the only way he knows, with cruelty. This afternoon he staged a photo-op to showcase,…
As the nation becomes violently unglued, the T-Rump is finally feeling some of the distaste the country has for him — interesting situation as relayed by the New York Times this afternoon: Inside the White House, the mood was bristling with tension. Hundreds of protesters were gathering outside the gates, shouting curses at President Trump…
In continuing protests of the police killing of George Floyd earlier this week in Minneapolis, several hundred people converged today on downtown Merced to show solidarity for the cause, and lend support for African-Americans being killed by police. Demonstrations have occurred all over the country, from Minnesota to New York to California — a federal…
Early-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Warm, but not bad with a gentle, cool breeze which keeps the air pleasant and comfortable. We can feel the summer coming, though. Forecast for the next 90 days or so plays out first warmer (today), hot (next week) and then hotter (next month). No shock. Also shouldn’t…
A sunny and breezy early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Big, white clouds, too, and a cool-ish temperature (70-degrees right now) and an unfamiliar feel to the air — we had some fairly-heavy hail yesterday afternoon, and looked like rain this morning. Blogging outside again with a pix of the scene. I’m retired, so…
