War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Musing on writing as a form: A flashback post, and igniting were thoughts generated on the mechanics of writing, as for me, personally. And despite a way-shitload of subject matter, could sometimes feel no real emotional plea to sit at my laptop and formulate the appropriate words. In some way, the literary desire has been…
(‘Spider Of The Evening‘ by Salvador Dali, and found here). Lately, some bit of news reflection strikes me between the eyes and creates a desire to pass on some words signifying/explaining our current political/social/cultural content. This Friday afternoon it’s Josh Marshall’s conclusion to his daily newsletter at TPM (paywall) about ICE-produced, real-time terror/horror activity and…
An accumulation of the shitstorm of a clusterfuck the T-Rump is bringing to the table of life on this planet. It might be a Monday early evening here in California’s Central Valley, but history/time-wise the clock seemingly will strike midnight in seconds from now. Figure worst-case scenario: Amanda Marcotte notes just how I feel: “I’m…
Deep gray-cloudy, ominous skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re in the aftermath of an AR and the ground is most-likely way-close to being saturated with rainwater. The downpour stopped a few hours ago, but looks/feels like it could start back up any minute. Reportedly, in for a breather for the…
Rain again this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a wet story of horror: (Illustration by Australian political cartoonist Fiona Katauskas, and found this morning at the Guardian.)

And the bottom-feeder news on the bottom-feeder on one of the worst human beings ever: Here it comes again: Wet be the season, or not, yet once again here we are … (Illustration out front: ‘The…
Overcast with an occasional light sprinkle of rain this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. And that life is spiked with nasty diseases via the vile, corrupt T-Rump and all his manifestations, completely indicating the horror of his shitty, nasty, and cruel position of currently sitting in America’s…
A beautiful, warm Saturday was the attitude today for the second round of anti-T-Rump/pro-democracy “No Kings” rally here in my local town, Merced, set near the center of California’s Central Valley, and once again an emotional treat to be involved with a crowd calling for America to remain America. Although the event felt less emotional…
Set for absolutely no kings for Americans — keeping up with the horror day by day. This near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley finds us face-to-face with the building disaster that is America (and the world, too!) as we look down the scope of history to see turds gushing toward our situation. Doomscrolling used…
Early-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. A quick-snap view of some current goings-on (and an attempt to slowly start posting again) — first, the horror of Ukraine: Straight-faced lying is mainstream nowadays, from T-Rump to the Russkies: The twists/turns of the Epstein saga continue: Further: Via NBC News: Family members of a prominent victim…
