War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Joe Biden earlier this afternoon: “As I often said during my campaign for President, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit. Criminal records for marijuana possession have…
Another warm but comfortable late afternoon here this Tuesday in California’s Central Valley — autumn keeps the hope alive of a decent season before winter’s gloom arrives with its habitual, and dangerous ‘tule fog.’ Whether we’ll weather it is another story. A kind of multileveled news day for events and people, mostly revealing the noticeable…
In the near-onslaught of news cycles full of doom and woe this past week, I overlooked a nifty, positive note that brought a chuckle — the prophecy from “Community” of six seasons and a movie apparently will come to pass. One of my most escape-binge sources right now, “Community” in its prime is a heartfelt,…
Continuing nice autumn weather this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re having the best outdoorsy-days of the year lately and after last summer’s boiling temperatures, it’s a nice respite. However, meteorology like a shitload of other things depends near-completely on location. A horrible for instance — between where I’m located and Florida,…
Beyond the dung of baby-like news on a Friday evening — the Twitter machine pops a good T-Rump dump — ugly to showcase the T-Rump in any form, but unhinged, asshole he is without doubt: And further a poser sign of the ludicrous-idiocy of our age: In context: Along with that, the great political satirist…
In my usual news surf this Thursday afternoon, I was immediately struck by some sad, shitty legal news on T-Rump and the Mar-a-Lago document-dump clusterfuck — asshole T-Rump judge has flipped the switch and made an obvious outreach to keep the legal binds tied for the Orange Turd and his lawyers. Per The New York…
(Artwork by Amina Sallam, and found here.) Another fine autumn late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley and a good end to the weekend, weather-wise. In the sense of happy days, though, it’s all pretty much gone to shit. Although outside there are clear skies and sunshine, inside there’s an ominous, unhealthy tint to the…
Cool and crisp — if temps in the low 80s are considered brisk — in the outside this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — now just a day shy of the autumnal equinox (6:03 pm PDT tomorrow), the local environment is fully responding in kind with some really comfortable weather. This year is…
In the flash of time, there’s always room for pleading a case for literary sympathy — one more time a request to purchase my novel on Amazon. Self-published in March, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona” is a tale of what it’s like for a middle-aged man to tumble down Alice’s rabbit hole in real-time.…
Humid-hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day in a few weeks we didn’t see triple-digit temperatures. California has been cooking and we’re now forecast for mild weather for a while. Odd environment in southern California tonight, going from a dry-bake to flooding is a matter of hours. Amid news…
