War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny Sunday afternoon in the backyard here in California’s Central Valley. If the world wasn’t so canker-like and weird the scene could be described as normal and pleasant, neighbors laughing, children playing, and a sense of it all would be pleasant, too. Wrong, of course, in way-twisted form-and-fashion. Off subject as a breathing apparatus, this…
Sunny-warm this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, 77-degrees still with maybe a chance of topping 80 tomorrow — summer’s coming. Yet the winter of our discontented virus continues… (Illustration by Kelly Caminero at The Daily Beast). In the T-Rump’s presser/rally today, and as yesterday, he has a shitload of trouble handling the truth…
Another Monday, but maybe it’s still yesterday, or maybe still, it’s really Tuesday, but one thing for certain, the T-Rump is one crazy-ass motherfucker who’s getting thumped by White House reporters — even today, or whenever: Mainly for shit like this: Notice the CNN chyron — in several clips of T-Rump’s idiot presser there’s been…
Overcast-gloomy this early-evening Wednesday in California’s Central Valley, looks and feels like more rain, just as forecast for tonight, along with a 60-percent chance tomorrow. Weather under the weather, too. Still continuing onward the coronavirus, though, new predictions indicate maybe there could be less lives lost than originally expected, a glimmer of hope as ‘pandemic‘…
Neatest-funny thingie I’ve seen yet during this special time of this so-far special year — great h/t to Bill in Portland Maine of Cheers&Jeers found at Daily Kos. If you don’t read C&J every weekday morning (except Friday, then in the afternoon) you should receive a lifetime ban from getting anywhere near the kiddie pool:…
A warm, though, breezy Tuesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, a beautiful, sunny, content-looking postcard of all-is-well and not a freaking thing out of place — Not! Appearances can really be dangerously deceiving. Yesterday, some bad local coronavirus news — Merced County is up to 10 coronavirus cases, one from community spread, the others…
Another terrible slap at the press today from the T-Rump during his now-daily COVID-19 circus events. Called out for his bullshit, he goes mental in anger. The following video is Fox News, sorry (CNN is here): Just about every episode of these update/rallies has at least one encounter with a direct question, usually voiced in…
Edging closer to the precipice, yesterday I noted my trip of the post office, but then didn’t really appreciate the pickle postal workers are currently undergoing, working in a most essential of services and getting sick — last Thursday, 13 postal workers nationwide had tested positive for COVID-19; the next day seven more, now the…
(Illustration found here) Nearly three days into a ‘shelter in place’ routine, the world is freaking out, and shifting into a dystopian landscape getting darker by the day. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order on Thursday under California’s Emergency Services Act is a ‘stay home except for essential needs‘ mandate and we can be charged with…
As we spiral out of control into the vapors of COVID-19, today’s nut-shit press conference with the T-Rump revealed himself not only as an asshole of vile, way-low moral values, but also a dangerous, contemptible problem for America and any kind of democratic future. He’s a zero sense of anything but himself. An exchange with…
