War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Ukraine continues to blast on top of the news cycle here about mid-day Tuesday in California’s Central Valley — and like the long- hot summer seemingly straight ahead, shitty war news is most-likely to just get worse. Russkies this morning (CNN): ‘“In order to suppress information attacks against Russia, the technological facilities of the SBU…
Entering the third day of the crazed, maladjusted invasion of Ukraine, Rachel Maddow set the standard in revealing the real asshole, piece of shit that’s Vlad Putin — a whine-fest way-anti-democratic and dangerous turd: Rachel back in full form last night after a six-week hiatus with a precise sizing-up of Vlad and the object of…
(Illustration from The New York Times earlier this morning). As I type this post, I’m watching Joe Biden do his thing as all of us come to grips with a shitty, un-called-for war in Ukraine, and how Peter Doocy is a total asshole. And now Biden’s finished — reporters are still shouting questions. I missed the…
Once again, back again this near-mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — expecting some rain this afternoon, but this is drought infested lands, so I don’t expect much. Despite not feeling real good, at least I don’t feel real bad. The cold/flu/whatever/maybe COVID I’ve been experiencing the last 10 days or so has become…
(Illustration found here). Anxiety-inducing news out of eastern Europe this Saturday (a throwback to the ’90s, or maybe the 1930s?) is the mad escalation of the dustup/invasion of Ukraine by Vlad’s Russian army — as the image above notes, the largest country on the continent against the second-largest seems right. Although I’d been figuring Putin…
Daylight fading as we approach early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a fine finish to a day that started with a deep-gray fog, which burned off quickly into bright sunshine and warm temperatures — another one of those about-as-good-as-it-gets, though, way-early in the year. Weather like this usually doesn’t arrive until at least next…
Cool and way-comfortable this mid-day Saturday in California’s Central Valley after a week of triple-digit temperatures and real-heavy air — a day of national remembrance of horrific airliner attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, along with Flight 93 ending up in a Pennsylvania field. A way-historic day, maybe right up there with…
(Illustration: ‘MQ-9 Reaper,’ digital artwork by Tommy Anderson, and found here). Oddly and horribly ironic on the eve of one of America’s near-sacred, modern anniversaries, a report today the military drone strike last month in Kabul as mass evacuations were taking place was actually another fatal, deadly fuck-up in a 20-year-history of such fuck-ups, capping…
Joe was pretty straight today: He took charge of the endgame while also noting the contribution of the T-Rump, though, Republicans won’t (literally) hear a word of it — despite the shit from the T-Rump and his asshat asshole Mike Pompeo in setting the stage for the chaos of evacuation, Biden will most-likely carry the…
Joe Biden is handling a shocker this afternoon, usually in his normal, low-key stand-out approach on the bombings in Afghanistan (death toll has risen, now 13 in total of American military fatalities, with 14 wounded), as the US/NATO endgame’s intensity will most-likely kick-up a notch or two. Supposedly, suicide assholes from the Afghan chapter of…
