War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Into dangerous uncharted waters this Tuesday evening as reports of Iranian rockets falling onto a couple of Iraqi military bases housing American troops, first retaliatory strikes in the wake of the T-Rump’s command to assassinate Iranian general Qasem Solemani last Thursday. Apparently too early for a response from the T-Rump, but there’s still time… The…
A short new year and we’re up to our asses in dangerous shit in a hurry. Despite acting DHS honcho Chad Wolf declaring this morning there’s ‘currently no specific, credible threats against our homeland,’ the fallout from the T-Rump’s command to take-out Qasem Soleimani is still creating diarrhea for just about everybody that’s has walking-around…
Tomorrow is a brand-new year, but top of the news rounding-out 2019 is a topic decades old — Iraq. Via the Washington Post: Supporters of an Iranian-backed militia besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, breaking through the first layer of security at the embassy compound and damaging a…
Sunny, breezy and maybe a bit chilly this Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast. Although the feeling today was a bit on the cool side, we did manage to hit 70-degrees in early afternoon, and the next two days are expected to be even warmer. Indian summer it seems — dog-run to Ma-le’l Dunes…
Deep-looking white-gray skies this Monday evening on California’s north coast, making it a short space to darkness ahead. A dog-run to Little River Beach in early afternoon carried thin clouds, emphasis on ‘thin,’ allowed faded-yellow sunlight, occasionally a slice-shot of brightness. And warm, too, not much of a breeze. The NWS calls for ‘Showers‘ the…
Horrific project the T-Rump boys are developing with Iran — most-ludicrous and way-scariest analysis came from the dumb-shit lips of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, as per USAToday this afternoon: ‘Asked if he is worried about Bolton pushing for military action, Paul said: “I think that the president’s instincts are good on this and hopefully he’ll listen…
Just when the black-comedy shit gets real, and it’s WTF: One of the few actual capabilities of the T-Rump is in sowing uneducated chaos — an acknowledgment of that talent last month from Joe Balash, assistant secretary for land and minerals with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, speaking podium-wise at a conference for folks…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Baby Map of the World, 1939,’ found here). Sunshine-warm this early Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — drizzled a bit earlier, but still managed to take the dogs to the Ma-le’l Dunes awhile, but apparently should have stayed longer as it’s been dry for the last couple of hours. However, the NWS…
Gray with a chilled air this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — contrast the way-ugly weather elsewhere. And a frame to the life under the T-Rump — Americans are swiftly-feeling the chill. Even well before all the ominous North Korean war news today, and before T-Rump’s ‘”fire and fury”‘ blather, a big chunk…
Gorgeous this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast — bright-blaring sunshine, a warm-feeling breeze, a way-nice deferment from wet weather. No retrieve from the T-Rump disease, however. A right-on explanation for the canker on the world came yesterday from Down-Under — Gareth Evans, Australia’s former foreign minister, in a speech described in lyrical, mouth-full accuracy…
