War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — this most likely our last day for a long while with somewhat cooler temperatures (at least in the morning), Tomorrow the reckoning begins with the heat expected to be quick, day-by-day turned up to reach 110 degrees by Saturday. We’ll be getting…
Our own California guy: Gavin Newsom on Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show this morning: On the idiocy of Republicans, especially Gregg Abbott, governor of Texas, and how red states are the worse, and MAGA heads are dumbasses (RealClearPolitics): Criminalizing doctors in the name of freedom, one of the worst crime murder rates in America, one of…
Cool despite the heat this noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re in a brisk, wonderful respite from hot-as-shit temperatures this week (high today in the low 90s), all made nicer still by a crisp, sweet breeze. When that ‘breeze’ evaporates, though, that sunshine starts to quickly scorch and the only livable space outside…
Hot-feeling sunshine near mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we join a big, really, really big chuck of humanity baking under numerous heat domes and various weather phenomena created to highly influence the air to become drop-dead blistering as shit. In this flat-anvil-like valley under these circumstances, the before-mentioned ‘air‘ becomes near-about heavy,…

In scrolling my afternoon news routine, I by accident spied a crime story from my local newspaper. Apparently, the photo above is of a man attempting to pass as a woman in the course of an…
Hot and getting hotter this noon Saturday in California’s Central Valley — we’re right now at 97-degrees with a wide-open, bright sunshine-filled afternoon ahead to reportedly maybe top out at 107 before the sun sets. Despite trying hard, I didn’t get put out early enough this morning to take a long walk (as normal) with…
Sad note this Friday morning: One of my most-favorite entertainers/actors of all time, Alan Arkin, has died at 89. He blew me away in “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,” an odd, humane-funny, empathic flip during the height of the frightful, freaky Cold War — saw it on the big screen as a…
Bright sunshine and gathering-warmth temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valey — another day in the hot-stacked, rapid road to summer triple-digit numbers upcoming, maybe tomorrow, if not, Saturday at least. Weather is neither hot nor cold, but constant — nuts to be sure. Also nuts is the state of America’s democracy, though,…
As the world continues to turn, T-Rump continues to shape-shift his way out of an actual recording of him blabbering about having classified documents — as presented yesterday via CNN — and today has seen him flip a desire to spin, pin reality into/onto an idiotic smoke and mirrors affair, except in this case, it’s…
Clear, gorgeous skies and tepid temperatures this late-afteroon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day of the end of a wonderful pre-summer blitz of great weather. Heat rolls in the next few days with triple-digits expected by the weekend. Today has carried a rigorous news cycle — among the items were a…
