War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Politics of health nowadays is deadly. Here on this Tuesday evening, the country is being ground into mush by a pandemic fueled in part by a huge faction of Americans sprouting bullshit from the Republican bullhorn, twisting facts into lies and killing 300,000-plus people. The huge problem with getting a handle on COVID-19 is politics…
Horror of the 2020 election continues today as the T-Rump is still holding on fast to pure, unbridled bullshit. As he demonstrated yesterday during a quick press briefing, where after again proclaiing, “I won,” declined to take reporters questions. Media queries, however, floated after he tried to leave, the epitome in the time of the…
Little wonder we’re having trouble getting a handle on COVID-19 here in the US, bullshit is sinking the playing field, not leveling it (h/t BJ): Yet the assholes at Fox News shifted their views without missing a beat — this illogical spin-around seen in raw-time: In a world gone crazy and the search for reality…
America in 2020 is on the precipice of history — this grand 250-plus-year-old experiment in governance is currently on unhinged footing, teetering at the edge of a deep-fall cliff, the plunge like chaos usually witnessed in third-world countries every few years. Or maybe Brazil nowadays, or Australia. The next few months will tell the tale…
Tomorrow is a brand-new year, but top of the news rounding-out 2019 is a topic decades old — Iraq. Via the Washington Post: Supporters of an Iranian-backed militia besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, breaking through the first layer of security at the embassy compound and damaging a…
Considered ‘Partly Cloudy‘ this mid-day Thursday in Merced, midst of California’s San Joaquin Valley, as I attempt to normalize my new home area — resided here thereabouts more than 30 years ago, thus I somewhat grasp my situation/predicament… In 1975 I began my journalism career as a police reporter with The Montgomery Advertiser and in…
During the T-Rump’s gibberish-talk after his social media conference yesterday: In this current time-frame, we’re most-likely in what’s called a ‘watershed‘ event: ‘Watershed is a geographical term, originally. The area that drains into a single river is the watershed for that river. Watershed can also mean a ridge, like that formed by a chain of…
Still bright and warm this early Monday evening here on California’s north coast, a gorgeous sunshine day with a summer’s heat. Supposedly, 74-degrees forecast tomorrow for Arcata, triple-digits interior temps, and fairly-much the same through the rest of this week. Dog run to Little River Beach was hot… Also today in faraway DC, the US…
Sunny and windy this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast — overhead all day were big pieces of fluffy clouds pacing across the sky, the movement creating dramatic, on-and-off different shades of dark to the air. I sat outside for awhile in early afternoon — terrific in a wind-break, pretty warm. too. Dog run…
The T-Rump is becoming more and more like an escapee from a mental institution, and today, rasped-out a true stupid: ‘In an ill-tempered series of tweets sent Thursday morning, he said he “had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”‘ Of course, a way-short-time later he tried to deny: ‘“You know who…
