War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another sudden burst of brutal warfare this morning along the Israel/Gaza border baffles the sense of how shitty Bibi Netanyahu and his government are in actually governing — maybe way, way-too close to the Republican brand here in the States. One of several potent points by Robert Farley at Lawyers,Guns&Money this afternoon: ‘The intelligence failure…
Even on Saturday the shit still hits the fan — noontime here in California’s Central Valley and the overreaching news item this morning is Israel and Hamas at war with horror the end result. My main question is why? Meanwhile, here in the ludicrous U-S-of-A, conflict is between the gullible, mentally disturbed, and the rest…
Bright sunshine coupled with temperatures in the high 90s this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re apparently experiencing a seemingly out-of-the-blue shot of summer for the next couple of days — after a mild early autumn the last few weeks we were jolted back into hot-heat yesterday (temps in the low 90s)…
Soft, warm sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, another example of a really comfortable fall season — so far. Weather-wise OK, but not so ‘comfortable‘ overall being in the nowadays — such as this afternoon. In a short interval of less than a couple of hours (an attempt at a nap) news…
Early evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley and the horrid life continues unabated. Especially in the repellent antics of the T-Rump (The Daily Beast): A visibly angry Donald Trump appeared in a New York courtroom for the start of a bank fraud trial that has already sentenced his real estate empire to death.

And in reality, much like the best of the Carter life, he’s gone beyond all…
Pleaxsently sunshiney-warm this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — so far, one of the best autumns ever with gentle temperatures and a slight, easy breeze. In our current nice weather is a pessimistic offer of a horrid coming winter, involving what wonderment now, but worse coming back around. Despite a shitload of news…
Another bright end to another weekend this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’ve been fortunate beyond belief the past few weeks as storms struck right, left and all across the globe. Still, we are so far in a quiet, warm autumn. Weather is hugely location-based — at least for the time being.…
End of another month quickly approaches and is in easy sight this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — hard to actually believe/contemplate it’s beyond mid-September already, with even a New Year rapidly just around the perpetual corner as time sure as shit waits for freaking nobody. Shit coming at us full throttle and…
In this age of old age, I am close to the subject as a matter of fact — I turn 75 in a couple of months. Joe Biden will be 81, also in a couple of months (our birthdays are nine days and seven years apart) and age has become a topical topic nowadays with…
