War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the world weathers the accelerating impacts of climate change, attendees to COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, finally reached an agreement, though, the entire affair could be another “blah, blah, blah” episode. Nutshell via The Washington Post this afternoon: Saturday’s agreement, however, does not achieve the most ambitious goal of the 2015 Paris accord — to…
Deep, wet fog this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a yearly staple for the region, tule fog, which can get thicker-than-shit. However, like a lot of other environmental phenomena nowadays, tule fog is slowly vanishing — when I lived here in the mid-1980s, the fog lasted months, but now it’s down to…
*UPDATE BELOW* Democracy and the law seem worlds apart nowadays with Republicans doing just about anything they want without a peek of a pushback from any legal office — Steve Bannon is still shitting freely weeks after being held in contempt of Congress. And the roll call builds if there’s no jailhouse rock. Today, another…
Enough shit is going on it boggles the mind, and beyond a ton of political news, I spied this tweet which seems to epitomize how we stand right now with the ludicrous game of sane vs the cruelly insane: In contextual leanings: Yesterday, a federal judge overturned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order prohibiting mask…
UPDATE Below: As the law reaches for the fat-neck of the T-Rump, his lawyers filed a request this morning for a momentary stay of the order issued on Tuesday to allow T-Rump’s records to be released to the House committee investigating Jan . 6 by tomorrow evening, and no asshole holds about it. However, T-Rump…

Despite some decent news today at the COP26 gathering in Glasgow, Scotland, the end results of this UN conference on climate change is up in the polluted air with a draft agreement looking good now, but shitty later — from The Washington Post this afternoon: The…
Despite the motion of prosecuting the T-Rump and his cronies moving quickly forward, the legal ramifications of ignoring the due process of law have so far been a wash. And despite, too, the ruling last night from a federal judge that T-Rump’s White House records can/and must be handed over to the Jan. 6 committee,…
(Illustration found here). Despite a shitload of all kinds of nefarious events gripping like a snapping turtle at the brain, climate change continues to look like a horror story coming alive, as I’d bemoaned before, we’re watching the end of the world on our laptops. COP26, now in its second week in Glasgow, Scotland, has…
Thick overcast and looking like rain this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we had some last night, but none so far today, though, it appears ready to unleash a torrent at any time. Whether how to weather the weather is the big question. Meanwhile, way-back East and the DC circus — I’m…
Dark overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — rain maybe tonight and in the morning. Barack Obama spoke today at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, and despite being enthusiastically applauded, even he sounded a bit pessimistic, though, history was working against him. Obama’s appearance marks the years: Global views of…
