War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and cold this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — big winter weather punching most of the country right now and maybe into next week. Snow and freezing temps as the season blows across the US. Here in the valley, outside this afternoon cold-ass wind off a way-cold front from the Gulf of…
Instead of a remembrance post this Saturday evening on the third anniversary of the horrid insurrection/riot at the US Capitol — such accounts which you can find all over the InterWebs today, memorials replayed so shitty with tons of actual video clips of the violently-startling, near-surreal event — I’m offering another literary solicitation to purchase…
Sunshine in some spots still this late afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley. Another end to seemingly another week yet this one is special — not only the finish to holiday episodes but also the first few days in perhaps the most important, meaningful, consequential year since maybe in forever. Life as we’ve known…
Happy New Year! In the evening of the first day. This new year has all the earmarks of being truly remarkable, and hopefully not really dangerous. However, given the situation of nowadays, that’s a tall order, especially with a crazy, violent underbelly foaming with vicious hatred of everything not of them. Although there’s room for…
Another Eve is in the works, and this one awaits the hot rock possibility of a horrid immediate future. Foggy and correspondingly damp this early evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hours away from a new year already acting almost like a fevered cartoon. After a most-wonderful visit last week with family up…
A week of holiday travel — I’ll be off the blog for the next few days (most likely not to return until this coming weekend) as I am involved in a semi-long road trip tomorrow, followed by a three-day visit with family up in northern California. Time will melt until then. Enjoy yourselves (all three/five…
Sunshine and a bit of warmth here this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. One of the better, nicer days in the last couple of weeks — a bit of rain along with the seasonal return of the valley’s winter plague, ‘tule fog,‘ has made most of this month’s weather a bit on the…
Even as the world goes crazy into the looming holidays, the stink of an Orange Turd is felt/heard all over this land. One wonders why this hasn’t played out more openly before: Background/details per Meidas Touch this afternoon: The hashtag #TrumpSmells quickly skyrocketed to the top trending topic in the United States on X after…
In the process of being, a couple of courtroom tales to weigh in this Tuesday evening — time enough to feel some hope and refreshment for 2024 here in the growing darkness at the tail-end of this miserable year. Rudy, STFU! MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade on today’s “Morning Joe” (via Raw Story): “I think…
In a short space this early-evening Monday, let’s momentarily (if we can) escape from the American political/culturally highly-disenfranchised diarrhea of news and focus maybe on an even bigger issue that is coming at us fairly quickly — climate change. Pretty much already known information there’s a 100 percent chance 2023 will be the hottest-ever: NOAA…
