War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, middle of another beautiful, deep-sunshine day, though, a bit chilly with frost earlier this morning. Meanwhile, on the Ukraine front and biggest items so far today — via the Guardian‘s live blog: Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy echoed Winston Churchill and invoked the fight against Nazism as he…
Again doomscrolling this afternoon to the music of Ukraine still afire, with the flames getting higher. And an update from the Guardian‘s live blog not too long ago — results about the same as yesterday, but further along in being worse: Russian forces stepped up overnight shelling of Ukrainian cities in the centre, north and…
Near noon Sunday in California’s Central Valley — even out here on the Left Coast, Ukraine is just a click or scroll away from the continuing horror of war. Vlad Putin and his boys are shown doing a bang-up job of displaying monster characteristics despite propaganda to the contrary back in Mother Russia. Control of…
Doomscrolling the Ukrainian news train this afternoon. A shitload of shit on the InterWebs, easily outperforming everything else. Especially poping news stories in the unique placement of the Ukrainian event as a social media platform all its own, and Vlad Putin being shown as an asshole who will eventually lose his misbegotten shit. All captured…
Couple of interesting Ukrainian-influenced news items — seemingly scenes from an action movie, but cast in real-time with real people playing out special–effects shit, creating huge fright reflected off tiny screens. Even an abrupt ambush: War-zone, near-miss must read: Terrifying dangerous drama divulged of journalist Stuart Ramsay and his team under attack outside the Ukrainian…
Approaching late morning and the noon hour this Friday here in California’s Central Valley — overcast with gentle sprinkles, a weather pattern known lately on the Left Coast (and other sections of the Western US) as a rainstorm. Reality in tiny droplets. Today another look at media in this crazed war-and-political theater period, and how…
Near a week now the fighting in Ukraine, still reeling from the staged, bloody-incompetent war waged by Vlad Putin’s Russian-named army — the outcast drum beats steady toward the way-obvious aggressor. However, a conflict as seen in real-time with real people in shit-on-a-stick real situations that are horribly dangerous and scary. Coverage of war maybe…
Just a few minutes after the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Vally, as the real-time exposition of the devastation/massacre in Ukraine continues slipshod nasty for another day. News just goes bad to worse. Now near-about dark over there. A reality-glimpse this morning into the midst of unchecked horror of one Ukrainian town: Nutshell…
Last night’s SOTU is now history, but Russians in Ukraine and Republicans in America keep clogging the news drain pipe this mid-day Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — warm again, too, feels like it’s getting warm all over the world. Enough of that shit, though, spot on — most-likely biggest news so far this morning…
In about an hour (West Coast time), Joe Biden will give his first State of the Union speech while holding forth in office during one of the most dangerous and fully-crazed periods in history — nothing heavy! And not only Biden contending with a massive virus-induced pandemic, a treacherous, cruel Republican party, and now an…
