War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Blistering hot just short of the noon-hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and has been the whine for days, we’re in the middle of a heat-domed boil burbling across not only my state but scalding the entire US southwest — records will fall (you can count on it) the next week or so. The…
In the sharp shape of modern American life, there’s always room for a real-good, high-pitched scream, and this morning is an example. Our SCOTUS just shit our country’s mess kit. Via The Washington Post: The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts…
In the news cycle this Thursday — along with the terrible, horrible wildfires on Hawaii’s Maui and the Big Island (53 dead at this point) — there’s further evidence the US Supreme Court is actually a den of crooks and assholes. Once again, the SCOTUS has been shown to be a pack of financial frauds-in-robes…
Bright sunshine and gathering-warmth temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valey — another day in the hot-stacked, rapid road to summer triple-digit numbers upcoming, maybe tomorrow, if not, Saturday at least. Weather is neither hot nor cold, but constant — nuts to be sure. Also nuts is the state of America’s democracy, though,…
Exciting life nowadays. In the midst of shit, a glimmer of positive news — via SciTechDaily: ‘Just in time for worldwide Asteroid Day: a threatening space rock lingered at the top of risk lists around the globe for months, with a real chance of striking Earth on April 2, 2052. Now, ESA’s asteroid team working…
Despite knowing this was coming for weeks, SCOTUS decision today was still shitty as shit can be and puts America in the fucked-up category worldwide. Healthcare is below gun care — via a stinging editorial this morning from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: Experience around the world has demonstrated that restricting access to…
(Illustration found here). America might be entering a open-ended minority rule over the vast majority. The Republican party and right-winger voters are the minority, but the twist this November could change all that — a minority ruling the deep-set majority. As Republicans stand steadfast on guns, the vast majority of Americans — 70-percent of citizens…
Sick place, America, right now. In much of our goings-on, there’s a shitload of cruelty, hypocrisy, and self-centered screaming against doing/being good to our fellow humans. A certain view disallows any other, with malice aforethought. That leaked SCOTUS opinion has raised the stakes on natural freedom and choice — the future is dark, dystopian and…
Near midday Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — still nice outside with a cool, refreshing wind, which without would be heat-filled catastrophic. Also on the humane ‘catastrophic‘ scale is the major news of the-now well known leaked SCOTUS opinion outlawing Roe v Wade, and the shit has totally hit the fan, especially from anyone…
Early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, an easy end to another great-looking day with plenty of sunshine and warmish temperatures — probably the best it ever gets around here. And good news, too, and a possible side companion to my post this morning on T-Rump’s first possible steps to a jail cell (we can…
