War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Maybe another hopeful sign of the rolling times — the White House press corp might finally be getting the hang. In yesterday’s first press briefing in 42 days, Huckleberry Sanders discovered reporters were on the push-back and bullshitting wasn’t going to cut it. Although I didn’t see the event live, a few clips of reporters…

A small, tiny post this afternoon at one of my favorite sites, ‘Lawyers,Guns&Money,’ made me sad: In the recesses of the internet, there are still people plugging away on blogs. We are one of them! But as one of the few independent blogs with actual readership still in…

Nice to see a decent feeling in the air for the return of reality — even this early in the 2020 presidential competition, the T-Rump has apparently already shown he’s his own worse enemy: He’s united Americans in an effort to get rid…
(Illustration found here). One good ground-gainer in all this horrifying news-life cycle-shit, and something which not too long ago would be considered a major no-no, especially while running for president of the United States, and apparently, the casual words denote a large (maybe majority) number of people who now think nothing of it: Democratic White House…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse,’ found here). Clear and chilly this early-evening Friday on California’s north coast, a beautiful way to end our last few days of dry — gorgeous-bright and warm this morning without much wind at all, but cooled-off by mid-afternoon with the arrival of a sharp, crisp breeze. Yet still ‘good-as-it-gets’ for…

Cold and dark this Thursday evening on California’s north coast — there was passing faded-yellow sunshine during late morning, early afternoon today, then later on, occasional bursts of bright between dark-gray clouds onward to right now. Rain expected tomorrow. And tomorrow being Friday, maybe another crazy…
A tragic, sad story to fold into a shit-load of others — five people died yesterday down in Orange County when a plane blew apart in the air, falling pieces struck a house. Killed were the pilot (flying solo) and four people in the house. Around the block: This morning, authorities identified the pilot as Antonio…
(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). An outstanding Thursday here on California’s north coast, bright, warm sunshine and clear skies for just about all day, and now in early evening, a bit of the winter chill, but nice outside. Rain still forecast for tomorrow, and accordingly drizzle/showers/rain through the middle of next week.…
(Illustration: Donald Trump, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong, found here). Cloudy and a bit chilly this Monday evening on California’s north coast, dark and overcast all day, though, some faded-weak sunshine appeared later in the afternoon, and more sun forecast for tomorrow — decent rain storm scheduled to start on Friday, supposedly lasting…
Cold and bright this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with lots of sunshine, but chilled-out temperatures — high supposedly just 51 and down close to freezing temperatures last night, and probably again tonight. No rain forecast until a week from tomorrow… Way-way ahead of its time — sadly ‘only‘ two years ago: Some old near-forgotten…
