So Much . . .

. . . Winning . . .

(from https://www.rawstory.com/2020/06/i-dont-want-to-be-in-the-room-with-the-guy-european-allies-are-turning-their-backs-on-trump/?fbclid=IwAR0l05FlOA43iMXxQFVgCpJ7KMnyE4HLYjhSJSOyRXbCtJwnMmNzHQPSiDs)
". . . President Donald Trump has offended America’s long-time European allies to such a great degree they avoid looking to him for leadership or partnership, and “are turning their backs on him,” The New York Times reports. . . German Chancellor Angela Merkel “was so uncomfortable” with the thought of being with President Trump at the G-7 this summer, she told French President Emmanuel Macron, “I don’t want to be in the room with the guy,” according to William Drozdiak, a Brookings Institution senior fellow. Drozdiak has just published a book based on a series of interviews with the French President. . . France’s attitude “toward Trump is a mix of sadness and anger,” said Thomas Gomart, director of the French Institute of International Relations. . . After nearly four years, Mr. Trump has no diplomatic accomplishments, Mr. Gomart said, listing failures on North Korea, the Middle East, a deterioration of relations with China and no improvement of relations with Russia. Instead, Mr. Macron believes that Mr. Trump has damaged European security through his unilateral abandonment of the Iran nuclear deal as well as nearly every arms control agreement with Russia. . ."

Insight . . .


(from https://www.statnews.com/2018/06/28/goldwater-rule-broken-psychiatrists/)
". . . The . . . Goldwater rule . . . was created in response to a 1964 survey conducted by the editors of Fact magazine. They asked 12,356 psychiatrists, “Do you believe Barry Goldwater is psychologically fit to serve as President of the United States?” Some of the answers printed in the magazine clearly reflected bias. The episode chastened the APA, which established the rule in 1973. . . The Goldwater rule exalts the doctor-patient relationship. But here’s rub: Unless the public figure in question happens to be your patient, there is no doctor-patient relationship. Across other branches of medicine, it is commonplace for physicians to offer insight when a public figure’s medical condition is in the news. Orthopedists weigh in on the star quarterback with a high ankle sprain; cardiologists on a political candidate who has a fainting spell. Everyone knows that the physician is not making a definitive diagnosis, but is instead helping the public understand the implications of a condition that is within the specialist’s domain. . ."

Repair . . .


First thing there's protocol.
Then there's this thing they call compassion.
Throw in empathy and a little consideration.

Can't you see behind the curtain;
Through the cloud of rancid air?
There's a needy child for certain
And the damage that's done requires repair.

The ordinary things
You can expect from ordinary men.
There's no option for "extra."
"Sub" is the best that he possibly can.

Vain attempts at saving face.
Rationalization from those who thought
He was a savior.
He is their savior.

Just call your handyman
To estimate what this will cost.
Calculate long-term effects.
Inventory the loss.

Number . . .

. . . two

It's imperative to in sequence go,
When presenting wares,
Be they many or few.
Place carefully, don't merely throw,
whether great in number, or simply pairs,
In order from the first, to two.

Mix . . .

. . . number one . . .

Number one (of two) mixes of instrumental improvisations on the chord changes to "Superman", a recently completed composition of mine.  Two separate solos, one on electric piano/one using a guitar patch, edited into a call-and-response track.  Number two to follow shortly.
