War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One of the big questions nowadays in American politics is not really whether the T-Rump will run again in 2024, but when will he announce — odds are soon. Via The Washington Post this morning: ‘The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for…
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
Intense, full baked-on hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 108 degrees just a while ago, and although it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow (forecast high of 102), it’s all heavy-air shit that requires AC living. Hot, too, the violence in America — and weird-ass gun shit in the LA area this…
A most-major concern for America today is the insanity of the Republican Party. As Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post put it yesterday: The mainstream media insist on treating the Republican Party as a normal party, routinely declining to press them on their party’s embrace of violence, lies and conspiracy theories. President Biden only gingerly…
Across the wide pond this Thursday morning a musical interlude in the sound of a dipshit leaving. Boris Johnson resigned as UK prime minister, but in a slow-stepped process that will supposedly not take place for months — Johnson will stay on until a successor is named — and he’s an idiot with an idiot’s…
One of the more-interesting, on-topic features I spotted today concerns those ‘omnipresent‘ White House aides, of which Cassidy Hutchinson is currently way-prominent, most-especially even as a former one: Highlights from Zak’s must-read piece at The Washington Post this morning: Washington is run by aides, or at least it runs on the work of aides: the…
In a period of dark, ominous shit, the backlash off the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade last week might have added fuel to the Democrat side of the voting aisle, and maybe will prove a positive factor in the midterms in November. Some poll work, hopefully, points the way — at Salon this afternoon:…
Hot, heavy air outside this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine burns a hole even sitting in the shade, with a near-sizzling aura that’s zero fun. Weather is still just the weather. However, something’s that hard to weather is the granite-brain of Republicans, who on the one hand will call the T-Rump…
Warm-on-the-border of hot this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — in the low 90s today, but into triple digits starting tomorrow and lasting through rest of the week. Summer catching up quickly. Along with a shitload of sad, unnerving, frightful particulars buzzing around the nowadays, from the before mentioned gathering heat storm to…
Not too hot this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a spot of nice in a country heating up drastically, from LA to the desert-like southwest, further on eastward to the deep south, and then upwards into midwest America, all in a boiling sweat with temperatures way above normal. A precarious situation with…
