The EMBARRASMENT just doesn't stop

Every time our President opens his mouth I LITERALLY hold my breath and wait for ANOTHER totally embarrassing comment.

IT JUST NEVER STOPS

I'm not going to share the latest stream of words that came out of his mouth but keep in mind that this time he was addressing the WORLD at something called the World  Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  This "forum" was founded in 1971 by a German engineer named Klaus Schwab.

A German named Klaus causes me pause just because.......(you get my drift)

You can be invited to this forum if you have a lot of money or have access to information that distributes wealth throughout the planet.

UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ARE GAVIN NEWSOME

His speaking engagement was canceled, supposedly by DJT, just before he was going to talk.....AFTER ALL, why would the Governor of the sixth largest economy in the world be speaking at an economic forum?

OF COURSE YOU MIGHT POINT OUT THAT CALIFORNIA IS IN THE MINUS COLUMN AT THE PRESENT MOMENT BUT KEEP IN MIND THE NATIONAL DEBT AND CALIFORNIA DOESN'T LOOK THAT BAD.

Remember the National Debt Clock?

I need to change the subject before my head explodes.

THE DODGERS should have been invited to the Davos Forum because obviously they have more money than most countries.

60 MILLION DOLLARS a year for  .273 lifetime hitter with 147 homeruns in 8 seasons????

If he's worth that then Ohtani is worth 700 million.....oh wait he gets that already.,.....

I'm not complaining because of the simple fact that if you are going to charge hundreds of dollars for a ticket to the game then you better show us that you are spending the money and The Dodgers are definitely showing us that they put their money where their mouths are....and their ears and their feet and noses and every other place you can imagine.

By the way Kiki is still unsigned......and he made 6.5 million last year.

If you stop for one second and think about how much Kyle Tucker has to do for Dodger fans to accept that he is worth 10 times more than Kiki.  My guess is that he will have to have multiple HUGE hits during the playoffs for that to happen.  If they don't go to the World Series people will compare him to Conforto....which by the way he now wears the same number that Michael wore last year.  23

WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE NUMBER KIRK GIBSON WORE....and of course some basketball dude from Chicago.

Now let's look at this coming Sunday in the NFL

Four teams left and one of the happens to be the Los Angeles Rams.

Of course I'm hoping they win but after Seattle prevented the 49rs from scoring a touchdown in two games....I'm definitely not that hopeful.

I'm also aware that the Seattle baseball team just missed out on going to the World Series so maybe the SPORTSGODS  have a different ending for their football team.

What?  You didn't know there were SPORTSGODS?

I'm wondering how many of those SPORTSGODS are in Davos this week?

The Rams are 2 and 1/2 point underdogs and you can make a parlay bet if you take GREENLAND and the over under with Venezuela's crude oil reserves.

And by the way....WINTER OLYMPICS start on FEB 6th.

We have some really amazing participants....so tune in and try to ignore politics for two weeks.

I DARE YOU!

 I've tried to be "quiet" during the second term of our current President and I've done so with both ideas of 1)giving him a chance and 2)being humbled by his re-rise to power.

He basically shut me up after winning the 2024 election but because of people like Jimmy Kimmel I was able to live vicariously in the world of criticizing Donald.  And believe me when I say it's a large world. 

The latest stupid thing that has come out of his mouth reminds me of the time he called John McCain a loser because his plane got shot down during the Viet-Name war. 

These are his exact words when hearing about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.

"Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS"

Instead of just not saying anything, which is appropriate in situations where you don't actually know the person who died, he decides to display his own case of mental derangement and belittle a much loved and respected celebrity.

I have watched Rob Reiner in multiple roles as both an actor and filmmaker and the pain his family is suffering right now should never be ridiculed or degraded by anyone ESPECIALLY the standing President of the United States.

I actually never heard Rob Reiner talk about DJT but I assume he was vocal in in his complaints regarding Trump because Mr. Reiner was a devout Liberal Democrat and probably leaned to the deep Progressive side of the party.

My father didn't like him because he was responsible for a tax increase on Tobacco to help support early childhood education.  My dad kept saying, as a smoker, "Where's that TAX money going?"  And he always blamed Rob Reiner even though he eventually did quit smoking at the age of 84.

Fairly soon, I hope, some of the ploys used by DJT during this latest term will be revealed on a large scale.  Unfortunately investigative reporters seem to be evaporating at an alarming rate.

I can start to list those ploys but I've got to go Christmas shopping later today.......so here are a few doozies.

Appointing a Federal Judge illegally and than having that judge file charges against various people he didn't like.

Pardoning 1500 people from the Jan 6 fiasco for storming the Capital building.

Claiming he didn't even know Jeffery Epstein

If you have a minute or two here is a sampling of Conspiracy Theories from Wikipedia that our current President has not only supported but often times created on his own or with his media team.

DJT Theories

and by the way.....

The fact that he decided to take over the Kennedy Center should wake up enough souls in the graveyards of political stalwarts to rise up and have physical influence on the current situation.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS....but I do realize that perhaps I'm waking up to the fact that our 249 year old democracy is virtually being challenged on a daily basis by a man who actually suffers from ..........

Just a reminder

 DEBT

STILL BASKING

 BACK 2 BACK still seems unreal BUT it is real and the glow will last until they are not World Champions....which won't happen until OCT of 2026

ENJOY THE GLOW

Little did I know

 For 35 years I was involved in the wholesale art industry basically supplying art to Furniture and Department stores as well as to catalog houses and Interior Designers.  I went to shows in High Point, Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta and Tupelo.

I had no idea that at those shows there was always an element of HIGH END DESIGN being displayed at various showrooms within shouting distance of the "regular" showrooms.

The knockoff business within the Furniture Industry is not a secret and probably 90 percent of what is made and manufactured is the direct result of someone stealing an idea and then making production pieces so that sales can happen on a large scale.

In the art part of that industry there are original ideas that are mass produced....but to be honest the quality of the work, when mass produced, is done quickly and without much intensity or creativity.

I just watched a video on PAUL EVANS who died in 1987 and designed product for Directional Furniture.  His concepts of mid-century contemporary and brutalist designs were quite different and today those pieces sell at prices that designate the work as unique pieces of Art.

This cabinet sells for around a hundred thousand dollars.....

EVANS

The artists that worked for high-end clientele had very little exposure to the mass market unless their pieces got knocked off and made with inferior materials.

I'm bringing this up because I think that's exactly what has happened to our present political situations.

IT'S A KNOCKOFF

AND

IT

IS

OBVIOUSLY

INFERIOR

We need to replace IT with something that is functional and original and looks beautiful....and appeals to 80 percent of the population.

I'm looking around and so far I'm not seeing anyone who can fit that bill.

How about you?

See anything and anybody that might work?

SO FAR SO GOOD

 Baseball playoffs have gone extremely well so far.....Dodgers have a chance to repeat which is very hard to do.  Four more wins.  I'm worried about champagne poisonings.

MORE BASEBALL

 It's the NEXT part of the Baseball season......good time to tune in if you haven't been paying attention.

It;a time for a memory

 Baseball and SEAN

Hopefully

 I've really been humbled by the latest Trump election and then I realize that the last ten years have been the Trump decade.  Even when he was out his name was mentioned every single day.

The Trump Decade has basically shut me up.

Hopefully I will rebound.....and hopefully it happens soon.

Please scroll down the archives on the right and read some past articles. 

 I started Mind Jazz on the last day of 2006.....why not start there?
