War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In advance of this afternoon’s House committee hearing on Jan. 6, a look at a near-miss in the horror of the T-Rump and America if the attempted coup had succeeded — lies cornered by lies: Ivanka has her daddy’s blood. In a must-read piece today by Robert Farley at Lawyers,Guns&Money, discussing the horror of the…
Hot, heavy air outside this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine burns a hole even sitting in the shade, with a near-sizzling aura that’s zero fun. Weather is still just the weather. However, something’s that hard to weather is the granite-brain of Republicans, who on the one hand will call the T-Rump…
Hot and delightfully breezy this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley – although it should be boiling and the air heavy as shit (supposedly right now we’re just one-degree shy a hundred), the outside ambience is not so bad, making ‘delightfully breezy‘ a true and poetic weather report. Wind can shift the sense of…
Only idiots allowed: Adding to the theme, Digby last week noted the power of Republicans pulling back the curtain on the T-Rump: It is a smart strategy to tell this story through Republicans. It should quell some of the mistrust that’s been sown by Trump and his allies over the fact that the committee only…
Cool and comfortable this near-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — guilt-outlandish considering a few other places: The video above has most-likely been viewed a shitload of times this past week as weather across the US has been way-out-there, as an old saying goes, but horribly-sad becoming the ‘new normal’ as our environment heats…
Fifty years seems a long time. However, entire perspective on the calendar depends on the point of view. If you’re a youngster, thoughts on a three-month summer vacation from school could easily appear as forever-time, but if you’re in your mid-70s, 90 days is a near-about finger snap. And with even half a century gone,…
Hot even in the shade this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — the new normal is just an expanded version of the old-new normal. Say what? A dumb lead-in to Constitutional crime. Today, too, was the third installment of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup (I watched most of it on…
In an attempt to escape the depressing horror show of America losing its democratic roots and way of life, let’s turn this afternoon to a way-bigger depressing horror show that will eventually eclipse all other problems, troubles and sources of ruin in all of history — climate change. I know it’s not as immediate as…
Hot and still this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — our weather is finally catching up with us. We’re forecast to top 100-degrees this afternoon. Although the hearing this morning scheduled for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup at the US Capitol has been postponed, there was nevertheless some drama: Details/background…
Not too hot this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a spot of nice in a country heating up drastically, from LA to the desert-like southwest, further on eastward to the deep south, and then upwards into midwest America, all in a boiling sweat with temperatures way above normal. A precarious situation with…
