War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Hot and still this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly 101-degrees right now and the mid-summer malaise has sunk in with a heavy atmosphere/ambiance environment. The air clings like dry sweat (if such a thing). Seemingly, dry mouth is the DC mode right now as Democrats have played Republicans in Congress, which…
Once again a blowback to asshole Republicans on Capitol Hill and their nasty, cruel approach to everything was on display this morning — in the shadow of the Manchin/Schumer agreement from yesterday, Senate GOPers retaliated and voted against much-needed health care for America’s military veterans, acting the spoiled-baby bitch. Just to show that petty, asshole…
Topping off the news cycle this Wednesday seems to be the Joe Manchin/Chuck Schumer agreement in the Senate for a big, breakthrough bill for climate and health care — and if it does make it past Republicans and signed into law, it would indeed be a BFD. The Manchin reversal shocker knocked T-Rump’s ramped-up DOJ…
Not-so-bad heat near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — almost pleasant you could say without being a sarcastic asshole. We’re forecast for a high of under 100 degrees today, so that’s the good news around these parts. And for them parts farther north where another deadly, mean-ass heat wave across the Northwest, where air…
Nestled amongst the news cycle items today were a couple of Josh Hawley recaps that maybe felt relevant to the issue of the asshole being a chickenshit. Despite Hawley acting the pure douchebag this past weekend at the fully-unhinged Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, crying, ‘“I’m not going to apologize, I’m not going to…
Heat is increasing near noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we might hit triple-digits later this afternoon, but the air right now seems to be getting hotter by the hour. However, just another day in a long string of such days where temperatures have remained in the 100-plus range and the ambiance is…
In this age of mass killings in public — an America-only horror story — this captures the emotion of the moment. I got a brief teary-eyed at the end (h/t tweet tengrain): Although I haven’t read of any mass shootings hitting the national headlines today, there’s been at least 11 this weekend (according to Gun…
Still hot without much air movement close to noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — legal summertime, so there’s no crime. Just sweat and a longing for soft rain in a patching drought. Also at the same time there’s a yearning for justice in that continuing seemingly disregard in accountability for the mass of…
A quick skid off the rails this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — hot again, so what’s new. Maybe a bit off the beaten path for a couple of items, both a look at self-serving assholes, both creepy, both dangerous. First, a robot displays side effects of humanoid-like devices keeping the machine’s idea…
Another end to another workweek this Friday early evening and the start to a couple of days to reboot. A post on reflection about the TV audience for those Jan. 6 hearings — the last in the original series last night, supposedly more hearings most likely set for September as more evidence and testimony fill…
