War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Out-of-country experience this Tuesday morning, and a look at the Afghan disaster. As I posted earlier this month, when I started this blog in April 2007, war was the main topic, with conflict-clusterfucks raging in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the latter getting just about-all the attention. And now more than 14 years later, the US…
Starting to get warmer this mid-morning Tuesday here in Califoria’s Central Valley — we’re temp-wise forecast for triple-figures again by mid-afternoon, but the bad heat seems past us, for right now. Low-90s reportedly rest of the week and on into the weekend. Added distress for my elderly-eradicated brain today is the current news on that…
Idiots outside of an institution have a shitload of problems, reality being one of them, and with the case of T-Rump and his followers, it’s part of the Big Lie: Standing story of our times recapped this morning by Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor: “He lied over and over and over again … poisoning…
Here we are again, another Monday and with it another book detailing the horror of the T-Rump getting way-fucking flummoxed by the COVID-19 pandemic, brushing-aside warnings with narcissistic ignorance, allowing the virus to run rampant across the US, now having killed more than 600,000-plus Americans within a short, year-and-a-half — in irony of all slingshot,…
Earlier this morning I was in the process of working on a political post — maybe a Mike Lindell/T-Rump be-alike scenario — but then saw the weird-ass number of gun-violence stories last night and I just had to switch to a firearm-centric plot, my second such in less than a week (first one here, if…
In the spirit of murderous mass shootings, and coming yesterday way-ironically on National Gun Violence Awareness Day — this is asshole-insane: Details via KTLA, updated last night: A federal judge Friday overturned California’s three-decade-old ban on assault weapons, ruling that it violates the constitutional right to bear arms. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San…
Once again today the continued aftermath-horror of an insane plague infecting our country — California Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier in the afternoon: “It begs the damn question, what the hell is going on in the United States of America? What the hell is wrong with us? When are we going to come to grips with…
In the midst of a pile of political shit, the workings of Republicans today once again proved how incredibly unhinged they’ve become, and how anti-American their entire operation is focused — nothing for the people and way-everything for the party, all obvious to everyone. MoscowMitch flashback: Dumb-ass story via CNN this afternoon: President Joe Biden…
America woke up this morning to another freaking mass shooting — this one late last night in Indiana (CBS): A 19-year-old gunman opened fire at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis late Thursday night, killing eight people before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. Police identified the suspect as Brandon Scott Hole, a former FedEx…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher, and found here). A way-enormous chunk of Americans are carrying around solid cases of mental disorder of the highest caliber and are prone to fits of pure fantasy even with shit they see with their own freaking eyes and hear with their own asshole ears. I really don’t know if…
