Trump and the president of Germany meet.

-


 THis is more a page than a blog and is intermittently updated. 

Every day Every day Looking for the bottom. Presidents of countries are now hip to what a meeting at the White House is about. And no version of Trump can shock. He's the guy that didnt want to get his bogus hair wet at the Normandy Memorial Event. How did he become president? He is attacking the Mayor of Boston for calling ICE agents what they are - that is Agents of Trump Chaos. Why not be honest?

What we’re actually seeing is much worse: An attempt to end politics as we know it, to deploy force to suppress dissent. Not eventually, but right now.

Some supporters of President Donald Trump are calling for a Walmart boycott after an heiress took out an ad to promote a 'No king' protest of the president’s policies. Seems Trump folks want a king. Also dont really want 1st Amendment. Just show.

· Jun 28 SotaMayor: “That the court uses this case of all cases to review the question of universal injunctions is shameful,” she declared. “If there was ever a case where a universal injunction is appropriate, it is this one under every historical precedent.”

Adding:

Someone that's lived through different eras remembers when congress agreed to pass laws that presidents signed. Then one administration did not have to spend the bulk of its time undoing the last one's rulings over and over. Being law rather than edict, the changes could hold. Wouldn't be so much like the sports section everyday, however, with teams winning and losing entertainingly.

ICE stooges prowl my neighborhood.

The Stable Genius speaks "If you notice OPEC and OPEC+, they're drilling more because I think they want me happy," he said Aug 3, 2025.

"People don't explain to me. I explain to them." Trump as quoted by Steven Ratner, NYT Aug 7, 2025 Pompous fool. Worse, his followers follow this little dictum.

Trump is building a syphon pump. Truth Social is the new name for Republican Party. That's where the proceeds dump. Finally, there is no Truth in Truth Social.

Good points Gupta. My 2 cents: Trump is building a syphon pump. Truth Social is the new name for Republican Party. That's where the proceeds dump. Finally, there is no Truth in Truth Social.


Meanwhile, reviewing some comments on a blog addressing Trump and Asian Indian [vs American Indian] workers: I tend to differ. That is: I can’t imagine a positive state of US tech without the capable collaboration of Asian Indian data nerds. https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/trumps-media-company-launches-new-business-to-buy-billions-in-niche-crypto-coin-1d629f30

When motivation for war was rife with business objectives - Spanish-American War, Viet Nam, others - you didnt have a feeling that business was that key, unless you dug in and studied it. Today, Pres Trump [aka Orange Julius Caesar] is unleashing political tactic upon tactic to in effect put US business at war with the rest of the world. Oh, and upset the daily lives of a few brown people at the same time. I refer to the Hyundai plant news. Imagine: He forces foreign companies to invest in US, then shuts down their construction work. Every daily has a dozen such vector embeddings. Like last night at the Gala White House Reality TV press conference when Google's Pinchar effectively thanked Trump for his recent anti-trust win. What's the password? 'Dialog and resolution.' Finally, while the president is the enabler/conduit for the US Business War on the Rest of the World, realize it is a room full of monkeys feeding him ideas. The only good news I can share here is that the monkeys will tear up the furniture and each other after Trump goes to his eternal reward [to be covered with a gazillion bitcoins].


The great Hyundai raid ironically conjures pictures of olden days when the State Dept could work thigs out, give some breathing room for a company building too fast, could mitigate the drama with some old fashioned patient reason...while on the other hand Trump want TV time, mind time, chaotic matrices that drain analytical capacity, competition of matrix between interests glee - say state vs commerce vs ev makers vs s e Asia ally [allies are our enemies / enemies are our allies] vs immigrants.

Art of Jeff Hull

Jeff Hull came by recently to check Jake’s portfolio. And we kind of looked at some of Jeff's own more recent stuff together. Which is on the Web via some shows he’s had in recent years. Now I am stuck as anyone reading this will agree with words. Which provide a poor translation of what goes on in true visual art. Here goes. Jeff Hull’s paintings transcend a life time; they cut through blue paradises of art think and explode, exotic, rich and watery. The ordinary world is here, and is seen in a universe of visual indications. Cells of modern mind float on the canvas, and one painting enters another. Images flop along side stones emanating molecular progressions. Color is all over the place, and you are on a magical ride. This art is feedback music in the domain of the eyeball. The sky, the ferns the beat. I see stories. I apply cut-up technique. The stuff pops up at you in spectral neural displays. Jeff’s objects comet forth. You attach what you bring. Ferns,...

List of Jack’s Best 2006

Here’s this years picks that clicked. This year I’m gonna focus on songs rather than albums. Don’t know, may have done that last year too, for that matter. As we’ve said, the industry is moving back to this idea of the single. And it is probably what people want, and what the artists are capable of. I don’t mind paying 99 cents to see if there is a there there, as for example, with JJ Cale and Eric Clapton, or Cat Ibraham Stevens or the Holy Modal Rounders meet Godzilla. But before I babble on too much … here is the List of Jack’s Best 2006. The Levee’s Gonna Break - Bob Dylan, from Modern Times Till I Gain Control Again - Van Morrison, from Pay the Devil That Kind of Fool – Jerry Lee Lewis (duet with Keith Richards), from Last Man Standing Maimed Happiness – The New York Dolls, from One Day it Will Please Us to Remember Even This This Is Us – Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou Harris Buried Alive in the Blues – Chicago Blues Reunion, from Buried Alive in the Blues But different this yea...

Bob Watt: Great Inferior Poet Passes

How many beautiful bodies/can Dylan garner a night --/ 50 - 100? How many can James Dickey garner'/two - or three?/How do all the girls with beautiful bodies /who get aced out, for dickey or dylan feel? - Poetry & Beautiful Bodies (1970) Came to learn from Dave Murray recently that great Milwaukee poet Bob Watt died. It happened in January. It was old news to many, but it was new news to me. This set the mind neuros to popping. I think I’m going back to the time when Bob Watts’ poetry first blew my mind. I remember when I first heard Bob Watts poetry: it was sudden and familiar. Music of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Midwest. Most importantly it said that poetry was right here, where we were. Not far. Moreover it did not have to wear a sportscoat. One with leather elbow patches. Watt was an exterminator. On the outskirts. His obit tells us he was in the service in Japan. That gave him a jump on Zen, maybe.    In a local night club, a girl got drunk/ And yelled, “I...
