War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
I’m scheduled for eye surgery tomorrow at the VA Medical Center in Fresno so it might be a while before I post again here. Vision is somewhat important in writing, even with blog writing, located maybe at the bottom of the literary-totem pole. The procedure I’m to undergo is considered supposedly no big deal (Mayo…
Election night and the feasting might be lopsided, although the polls have just closed around the country, the forecast is full of tiny hope (New York Times): Polls have closed in Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and most precincts in Mississippi, states holding off-year elections that will affect abortion access and shape the national debate about it…
Legal shit popped out of the T-Rump’s mouth today during his testimony in the New York fraud case — one idiot example: ‘“If I want to build something, I built a very big ballroom, a big ballroom that I built, it was very large, very beautiful.”‘ Just another ramshackle performance of the orange asshole, which…
(Artwork: Leonid Pasternak‘s ‘The Passion of Creation,’ found here.) Originative writing is an art form for the mentally disturbed. An actuality proven by history and reality.

In the vile soup of our nowadays — how can this person be anywhere near the White House? Ugly and shitty beyond imagination: Ringing true in the horror of our modern age — Miss Emily Dickinson: “Much Madness Is Divinest Sense” Much Madness is divinest Sense – To a discerning Eye – Much Sense –…

Bright sunshine, calm winds, and fall-like temperatures this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, another episode of nice as the seasons shift from sweet to sour over the next month or so. Weather is local no matter the time. And in a New York City courtroom this morning, the weather was chilled as ice…
Clear and a bit on the chilly side this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — finally it looks as though we’re in that trough of autumn, cool days supposedly ahead. Politically-cold winter festers back east in DC — Republican dipshit wanker Kevin McCarthy on the nose last Friday: ‘“We are in a very…
In an attempt to escape, or at least push aside for a short while, the heinous news of the nowadays, I went for another musical broad-stroke to lighten the load just a bit and focus on today — Saturday — as a point of convergence for the mind’s eye in dealing with some ugly shit. Horrific…
Early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, near-closing out another nice autumn day, though, a bit on a more warmish side than normal the last week or so, but still simply nice.
