TRUMP TRAIN WILL STOP BUT WE MAY GET RUN OVER

It is too bad that Donald J. Trump is protected by the same constitutional rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that he would like to deprive other Americans of being protected by.

This ignorant, corrupt, criminal president ought to be thrown in jail and not let out until he tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about all the lies and unlawful behavior he has been and continues to be engaged in.

The nerve of this disgraceful tub of guts to puke his bile in our faces and insist he is above the law and a victim of everyone who does not approve of him. 

He should not be in charge of our country. The cowards in his party who protect him for their unconscionable reasons should also lose their jobs.

Who the f..k does this beastly hunk of junk think he is? He continuously defrauds our nation as a fake commander and chief  who is supposed to protect us. 

This guy is protecting nothing except his sorry, guilty ass?

Every train eventually stops. The Trump train will also stop. Self destructive fools can only stay lucky for so long. 
But, so long may be enough to throw us all in front of the bus.

Stand up brave Americans.

FRIEDMAN DENTAL GROUP IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA *****

Going to the dentist is one of my least favorite things to do. I have been fortunate because in 71+years I have only had a handful of cavities and no serious dental problems.

I do believe in good dental hygiene and I had a very fine dentist in the Chicagoland area for many years who cleaned my teeth personally. Than, in 2018 I moved to Florida permanently and I  recently needed to find a new dentist locally.

I looked online and saw very good reviews and appealing pictures so I made an appointment at one of the four dental offices of Dr. Eli M. Friedman. I chose the one at 9825 W Sample Rd. in Coral Springs, Florida. 

First I spoke on the phone with friendly office manager Tiara Ortiz explaining that I was not the normal patient. I said that I did not want x-rays taken and I did not want my teeth cleaned with the electronic cavitron tool, but by hand because my teeth are very sensitive. Actually, I am a big chicken.

She said both were part of the $99.00 promotional offer but I could possibly sign a waiver and not take X-Rays and she would see a about the hygienist not using a cavitron.   

She said hang on a minute while she checked and than she said come on in and they would try to figure something out to suit my request. No promises.

I was naturally tense as I walked into the very nicely furnished, reception room with a big TV and comfortable chairs.  It is a very classy office which I soon got comfortable in.

I was greeted by very friendly and professional office manager Tiara Ortiz.

I filled out all the necessary papers and she  
soon escorted me to meet Dr. Leilani Lorenzo D.M.D who was very friendly and comforting as she painlessly and thoroughly  examined my old teeth and gums to see what kind of condition they are in. 

She was so gentle yet totally efficient and I was impressed at her  obvious skill and knowledge as she explained and showed me my mouth better than anyone ever had.

She recommended  X-rays to find hidden decay or other problems in my less than perfect choppers even though she already knew I had signed a waiver rejecting them. 

I said no and she said she was required to advise me to have them. 
They also were part of the inexpensive $99.00 cost.  

She agreed that I had a decent enough mouth that, although far from perfect, she reluctantly let me escape the x-rays. Fortunately, she found no major immediate problems or I think she would not have let me go despite the waiver.  

 Than, I was greeted by super duper Niurka Townes who turned out to be the best dental hygienist I ever had work on me. She was so irresistibly friendly, professional, and smart. 

She also asked why I did not want X-Rays and gave me a few reasons why I should have them. I said no again and she smiled and said ok but I should think about them for the future.  

She also nicely asked why I did not want a cavitron used. I said one was used way back and my teeth were sensitive for several days. So, I said no thank you.
That was it. 

She put no more pressure on me even though we both knew it would be a pain in the ass for her doing the old fashioned manual teeth cleaning process that she did know very well.

 She went to work. 

She was fabulous. She has a methodical, painless style that was totally pleasant and thorough. She also explained several things I never knew about properly brushing and flossing as she worked. It was fun being in her chair as we also spoke of many things. It was a great experience.  

The time passed quickly as the soft music played and before I knew it she was done. 

It took about an hour and a half from start to finish in the office. I was also gifted with a bag with tooth cleaning items upon leaving. 

It was a wonderful experience. I booked another appointment for three months forward because I did agree that more frequent cleanings would be beneficial.

Dr. Eli M. Friedman who is a PROSTHODONTIST, is the man behind this 4 office dental practice. Their email is info@friedmandentalgroup.com 
The other offices are located in Tamarac, Palm Beach, and Plantation, Florida. 

He specializes in Reconstructive, Implants, and Cosmetic Dentistry.
I am so pleased I could express my appreciation to a really good dental practice.

I am a very happy customer who likes professionalism wherever I find it so I did this story because I thought it was a good way to show my gratitude for a job well done.
I'll be back.

GO FUCK YOURSELF TRUMP YOU IGNORANT PRESIDENT

What words can describe the total piece of garbage Donald Trump is? Really, it does not matter because about half the country does not care. He can do anything he wants and not lose their support. 

The other half of the country thinks the same way that I do. That Trump is just about every horrible thing a supposedly normal human being can be.

The above represents the current status of our screwed up nation. It is totally divided because of Donald. 

 It's Trump, Trump, Trump. Every day. He represents good versus evil. Either you despise Trump or you love him. 

Trumpers will never concede an inch against Trump no matter how indisputable the evidence is.  Many think he is the messiah. 

Or, he is Dr. Evil unleashed and many of us will not rest until he is no longer the president.

What if all the Trump defenders were subjected to Trump's illogical words when buying a car, going to the Dr., or discussing what brand of toilet paper to buy? 

Can you imagine? We would have to start the country all over again. People could not communicate. 

If all logic and reason is thrown away what do we have left?
Trump nation, that's it. Adios America.

 Are previously well educated, logical and intelligent women and men from all over the country lost in a brainwashed state? 

Or, are many people just plain cowards who want to keep their jobs and power and are willing to do anything to enable that moron to stay in office?

People who have spent their lives dedicated to the processes of logic, and reason feel that they have been sent on a spaceship to the twilight zone on Trumps private rocket of chaos. 

Facts no longer matter. 
It seems that common sense has disappeared in half of us. Two and two is five because Trump says it is and his minions stand fast never conceding an inch to any truth Trump does not bless. 

My prediction is that all of Trumps appeals now in the Supreme Court will go his way and he walks away untouched. 

I also predict Trump will lose the 2020 election in a landslide because no one can fool all the people all the time. 
Americans are smart and sensible and find their way. Eventually.

Maybe, a surprising new door will open because as the old saying goes people make plans and the person above us laughs. 

Maybe Trump will self destruct. There is a good shot of that happening. He is an addictive mess. 

He has to be patient now and I doubt he can do that. He is too much of a spoiled brat begging for attention.

 Go fuck yourself Donald you ignorant fake president.

ZINGER'S: A DELICATESSEN SUPREME IN BOCA RATON , FL

Do you love delicatessens? They are more and difficult to find. Well, there is a superb one in Boca Raton, Florida, The name is Zingers. It is located at 7132 Baracasa Way, It's dynamite. The food is to die for. 

I ordered a ton of different items considering I have not been to a real deli since I left Chicago's Manny's Deli almost a year ago.

First came that plate of coleslaw, and pickles that sets the stage for the real meal.

Than,  from my choice of several homemade soups I picked a cup of fabulous homemade mushroom soup that I immediately wanted to stick my whole face into.

Quickly appeared the big combination roast beef and tongue sandwich the friendly, funky waitress suggested. 

I had to open my mouth wide to shove in this gigantic sandwich I ate on an onion role. I was chomping so fast and stuffing my mouth so full I could hardly talk to my friend. I ate like  the starving maniac I was.

My friend tried to get me to slow down so I could speak but it was hard.  I kept obnoxiously mumbling while shoveling more and more food between my lips because I didn't want my mouth to stay empty a second. 

That is how good everything was. Best deli I ever found and I've been all around the country always looking for delis. Zinger's opened in 1994.

Even though my belly was busting I ordered a desert of kishka and gravy and sucked it in like it was fluffy chocolate cake.

When my feeding frenzy was over I went to meet the owner. His name is Lenny Levine and I told him I was going to write about his delicatessen in my blog for free to pass on the information about this treasure of a he owns.

Great job you did with this fantastic place Lenny.

Zinger's is located at 7132 Beracasa Way and the phone # is       561-826-7323. Contact Lenny@ZingersDeli.com. 

Yum. Get there deli lovers. It's the real deal !!!

GOOGLE ADSENSE WILL NOT PAY ME MY BLOGGING $$$$$.

Google Adsense has screwed me again. I am a Google Blogger and am registered and verified to be paid by Googles Adsense payments dept.

Good fucking luck Google bloggers !! 

You must make $100.00 to qualify to get paid. So, after about 5 years I finally made the $100.00 threshold. Ahh, I thought.  Show me the money.  Not so fast though. 

With my $100.00 earnings statement came bank account and tax information requirements to be provided. Also, various bullshit demands about technical payee crap. 

But, just when I thought I sent Google everything they asked for I was notified that I had to wait several weeks or more for a pin number or I still would not get paid.

Than, Google told me I also had to wait for Google to do a transaction on the bank account  they would be transmitting my payment through. More Google bullshit. 

I could not get confirmation from Google that my bank account had even been properly linked to their Adsense payment center no matter how many times I filled out my financials and sent inquiries.

 Today, three weeks after I reached the $100.00 earnings mark  I still have no idea if I am even properly set up to get paid.
Naturally, I have tried over and over to get help from the Google community and from Google itself. No help from anyone. 

 I've only got a bunch of stupid canned responses which are of no help.
Google always has the nerve to ask for feedback. I would like to see some of the feedback Google gets. Many would probably puke.
Your Adsense help and support SUCKS Google.

Try emailing me at tshirtdave69@gmail.com or
Check my blog at kingdavifdsplace.blogspot.com to let me know whats going on.  

Straighten this out Google. 
You owe me and most everyone else in the world your est efforts.

TRUMP- RESIGN AND GO EAT WHOPPERS. YOU ARE FIRED

Trump was voted by the House of Representatives today to be impeached and then comes a Senate impeachment trial. The stink of his Presidential misconduct caused him to join the putrid company of less than a handful of other U.S Presidents who have faced impeachment.  

Our derelict, degenerate, unfit ignoramus and total moron of a President becomes part of the most undistinguished group of leaders in our country's history. He well deserves that dishonor.

Doesn't it figure that an intellectually inferior spoiled brat who never followed rules and who became an accidental president would end up facing impeachment? 

 Unbelievable. A President dying to be admired afflicted with severe narcissistic personality disorder ending up with the ultimate political smack down of possibly being removed from office. The smartest guy in the room who could do whatever he wanted ending up out in the street.

Millionaire daddy Fred Trumps money ruined his spoiled brat son. Donald always thought he was above rules and regulations. Donald never learned what the word no meant. Too bad for us and him. Do not forget what he has done. Feel no pity. Trump has hurt this country badly.

He thinks he is above everyone else but he's just a good old fashioned dummy who thinks money makes him better than the rest of us. All schmucks think like that. 

What a lethal blow to Trumps already permanently destroyed Presidential legacy these impeachment hearings have been. He has forever groveled to powerful people and institutions to be accepted and respected. Now, he is forever buried in the manure of shame he has always been so terrified of.

 He is just a brainless punk with a big mouth who is getting dragged through the mud by the same professional, accomplished people who he has always wanted so badly to impress and be accepted by. 

The nation is not far behind the House of Representatives in throwing Trump in the trash can.  He is done ever trying to seriously lead us. Who will listen? Not the majority. He has done almost nothing good for us in his job. Now, things get worse for him like he has made them so bad for many of us.

He has lost the little respect he had by ignorantly and egotistically trying to do a job that he knows he is incapable of. He rejected all help and support so he could do things his way. He is left only with our contempt, disgust, anger, rage, and much worse.

When respect is gone it is like virginity. There is no way to get it back. Trump is finished.

So, Donald John Trump, you stupid, mindless pile of human junk, listen up. You are unfit for almost anything except eating whoppers, playing golf and conning your supporters with lies. Go do that. 

Whatever your insecure, fatally flawed ego was looking for when you accidentally became president your life will only get worse now. Your sensitive ego is shattered beyond repair. You will never be okay with the world and you know it. 

You poor baby. You will cry, scream, kick, and throw tantrums continually to get revenge and regain esteem from those you pissed on and those who pissed back. 

You will act the victim and beg for sympathy. That will only make your useless life deteriorate more quickly. People hate desperate crybabies. Times will get bad. Suck it up and eat it all. Enjoy yourself. 

You have become a terrible investment for anyone with a drop of sense. You are a ticking time bomb Donald. You will soon lose the last of your misguided supporters. You are headed for the massive junk pile of flash in the pan people that got lucky once but threw it away. Your fifteen minutes of fame is timing out. 

Eventually, your loyal pack of psychologically infected supporters will get sick of feeding your unquenchable ego and abandon you.
You have nothing but frustration, shame, embarrassment, and possibly jail to look forward to. 

You are too ignorant to know that. Your motley crew of die hard Republican senators will get what they deserve too by hanging onto your coat tails thinking you are their salvation. You will be their demise.

Their reward for loyalty to a dunce like you will be to also go down as you flop around in the political mud. You will shortly be formally impeached and maybe removed from office. You and your comrades are already beat. They know it. You don't.
You are as good as out of office and facing a ton of indictments. 

Even if you are acquitted in the senate impeachment trial by your gang of shit faced senators that will only be a temporary reprieve. You are done.  

You better throw everyone under the bus now and make a deal to resign because this may be your last chance to avoid dancing with the devil in hell.   

Unfortunately, you are taking our beautiful country down with you.You have done huge damage to this wonderful nation.
As my high school counselor once begged me "please quit."
We need a real President, not a fake one. 

Please quit.
You are a loser.

You are going to be fired.

TRUMP AND HIS SENATORS GIVE US A GOLDEN SHOWER

I am sick, enraged, and mystified that a rotten piece of scum, a moronic, ignoramus of a U.S. President can act in defiance of the constitution and continue to retain the support of a bunch of spineless Republican senate leaders.  

The senators are a group of pure assholes who are willing to protect and defend Trump from impeachment and possibly jail in order to keep their jobs and their power. 

They do not care about Trumps misdeeds, criminal violations, abuses of power, or any other betrayals of his oath of office he has  committed. They just hold his ass up with both hands and keep their faces buried in it defending him each day knowing he is a totally corrupt president.

How in the world can absolutely clear issues of black and white, right and wrong. good and bad, logic and idiocy be debated by supposedly intelligent individuals? Trump got caught red handed several times with his hand in the cookie jar. End of story. Period. He's got to go.

Who do we have running this country? Idiots? Buffoons? Intellectually disabled goofs? Worse? 
These are not leaders. They will not even acknowledge that Trump is guilty of the offenses claimed against him. They know better.

The indisputable proof that Trump has violated his oath of office again and again and that he should be impeached has been legally proven and is apparent to anyone with a working brain. 

Yet, not one major Republican has yet stood up and admitted the truth about this fake, stupid and scummy president. Rise, one of you gutless wonders. You will become a worthwhile human being at least for a little while. 

How do Trumps defenders in the senate look at themselves in the mirror and not puke up their guts at their cowardliness? How can not at least one brave senator unload their repulsion at themselves and their colleagues for defending pathetic, mentally ill Trump and explode in anger and frustration? When did wrongly defending a rotten corrupt president become right? 

Not one Trump senator has a set of balls bigger then a parakeets balls as my old friend Merrill used to say about gutless people. These ass kissing, blood sucking, pathetic cowards know exactly how wrong they are to protect a guy who is all but an official dictator and Russian employee. But, they selfishly stick with him for purely personal reasons.

What the fuck is going on in this country when so many people have lost the courage and will to say "No, this is wrong? Take this job and shove it Trump, I am done saving your sorry ass". 

A few very brave non-partisan officials have testified courageously and honorably and spoken the unfortunate truth about Trumps misdeeds. They have not moved the popularity needle much. Yet. 

Hats off to them though. They may still have saved this country from Trump and his attack dogs like Kevin McCarthy, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Doug Collins, and Mitch McConnell to name a few. The game is not over. Trump did not get off. But, he must be stopped.

However, mother justice is not happening so far. Trumps pawns keep their snouts up his posterior. The Republican senators live in the depths of Trumps bowels each day. They seem immune to his stink. 

They tell us Trump is really undeserving of being impeached. They will soon refuse to convict him when the impeachment goes to the senate. Trump and his Republican senators give every American the infamous golden shower each time they speak in behalf of Dumb Donald.

Is this America? Do Trump and his devotees have any limits as to the amount of shit that they can shovel in our faces with their lying words without losing all credibility?

 So far the public says they are safe. But, things can change fast with public opinion. Trumps gang thinks they can piss on us all the way through the 2020 election. 
They will fail. Tyranny always fails.

Trump is the same dishonest, unethical dog he has been his entire spoiled, enabled, unaccountable, privileged life. He is a stinking, rotten, uncontrollable brat who should have never been given a dollar of his daddy's fortune let alone keys to the White House. 

Trump is a gang boss, a cult leader. He is just a common hustler and con man. He is not a human being let alone a man of honor and distinction like Americas leaders should be. He has no heart and soul. He is an embarrassment to our country and to the world. He has shamed us all. He will continue to if not stopped.  

Would anyone let their children behave like President Donald J. Trump without smacking their faces and cutting off their privileges? Or worse?

Man up one of you gutless wonders who is defending Trump in these impeachment hearings. Get off your chair one of you disgusting, cowardly well educated, rich, and fully employable Trump allies and say 
" Fuck you Donald, you dumb son of a bitch  Take this job and shove it up your ass. You are guilty of all the accusations against you.
I quit."

Let's take America back.

"DON'T MESS WITH ME" WARNS NANCY PELOSI

Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives just blasted a reporter at a TV press conference who pissed her off. He   asked if she "hated" President Donald Trump.

She fired back at the reporter with good old fashioned in your face street talk because she was so angry. 
Pelosi was outraged that anyone would ask her if she hated Trump or anyone else. 
She stepped forward toward the group and stated passionately and emotionally that because of her family training and religion she did not "hate" anyone. She was truly insulted. 

She got right in their faces, She took her gloves off so to speak and raged "don't mess with me". They all got it. Her serious words and face said everything. She paused to take on any others who wanted to try her out. None did, No more nasty questions came out. 

She then moved back to the podium and got back to being the normal Nancy instead of the enraged Nancy. She transformed immediately from a rugged street fighter to the polished political leader we know.

Trump does not stand a chance against a lady who worked her ass off in smaller political positions to become the first woman Speaker of the House. 

Nancy called out Trump as a coward and demeaned him while she also said she prays for him. He tweeted that he did not believe she prayed for him.

Poor Donald. What a mess this spoiled brat idiot is in. 
He is boiling over, exploding, going crazy as all the attention is focused on everyone but him. 
He deserves to be in jail.

SALES PEOPLE SHOULD WANT TO BE LIKE JEFF AT DICKS

I recently went to Dick's Sporting Goods at 8921 W. Atlantic Blvd. in Coral Springs, Florida. I had never shopped at any Dick's store before. I happened to need a pair of golf shoes and Dick's had a brand I like advertised at a low price.

I actually dislike shopping for anything. I'm too impatient. A friendly salesperson at Dick's attempted to find the shoe I was asking for and went through the racks but I became restless. She saw I was ready to leave. But, not so fast.

She politely handed me off to a nearby salesman with a name tag saying Jeff in the golf department. I am a 71 year old guy who has been selling and buying things my whole life. I know all about hard selling, soft selling, indifferent selling, lazy selling...all kinds of selling so I know it when I see efficient, solid, smart selling.

I'm telling you never have I run into a more professional, product savvy, friendly, determined, and caring salesman as this Jeff guy turned out to be. 

He asked me a few simple questions and than dug into the many boxes of golf shoes they stock. He had a sweat working from fighting through inventory when he returned with several pairs for me to try on. 
He apologized for the pair I came in for being out of stock and offered to order them. I declined. I wanted new golf shoe very closely priced to the ones that were advertised. 

He had me try them on and one pair felt fine. I was ready to buy. I said "these will work". I was not thrilled but I was alright. I loved the previous pair I owned for ten years.

But, even after I said OK Jeff was not satisfied. He instinctively knew I could be happier. He felt the shoe again and checked my toes carefully. "A little tight", he asked. 

He suggested I try on one more pair that was sized a little differently. They felt great. He looked at my wide smile and knew I was a happy customer who would come back again and again and likely tell my friends. 

"Perfect", I gratefully said to Jeff. I enthusiastically said "ring em up" telling him I would wear them out of the store. 

This salesman is all about why some sales people can make money, sometimes big money selling almost anything and others can't  seem to succeed. He sold his excellent personality and product knowledge. That is why I bought. Period.

I purchased a pair of golf shoes that were within $2.00 of the ones advertised. I am so delighted as I walk comfortably around in my new shoes. 

He did everything a good salesman should do to create a customer and also close a sale. He was the difference between me walking out of the store less than excited or happily switching to and buying a different  bran with joy..  

He did everything smoothly and with patience and consideration. It was just one pair of shoes. He had no idea until I was walking out that I would write about him.

If every business had sales people like him it would be so much easier to build loyal customers and make money.

Take notice all of you sales people out there who do not always present your best effort with your customers. Try harder. 

You never know what can happen by doing your best all the time.

Also, kudos to Dick's Sporting Goods. 
They stopped selling assault rifles in many of their stores costing their business a lot of money. 

Why? 
It was the right thing to do.

JOE NAMATH IS PITCHING CURVE BALLS NOT FOOTBALLS

Football great Joe Namath represents The Medicare Coverage Helpline as a spokesman on TV.  FYI official Medicare has neither reviewed nor endorsed the information in the advertisement or commercial or whatever you want to call it.

According to bobsblitz.com Uninsured Helpline, Small Business Health Insurance Helpline, TogetherHealth and Medicare Coverage Helpline are all trademarks owned by TogetherHealth PAP.

Together Health was bought by a company named Health                Insurance Innovations that is getting hit with two class action suits regarding it's position in a health insurance fraud that scammed millions of dollars from consumers. The FDC closed them down last fall.

The Medicare Coverage Helpline is just a fancy named lead generation tool to get your personal information. 

So, beware suckers. If give them your info, you may be solicited by anyone they sell their leads to.

Be smart. Call Medicare and get verification regarding anything you may respond to regarding your Medicare coverage.

A word to the wise as they say. Or, the telemarketers will get you again.

TRUMP IS A LOSER WHO WILL SELF DESTRUCT SOON

It is reprehensible. It is a national disgrace that despite clear and indisputable evidence a small group of Senate Republicans holds the country hostage while Trump rampages on without regard for the consequences. 

 And why should Trump worry about his conduct? 

His supporters have already made it clear that whatever he says and does is irrelevant no matter how treacherously he acts. He is even getting anointed by some as being sent from some extra terrestrial location and placed here to guide our nation. 

It is eternally confounding to me as to whether some really believe 
the false garbage he spews out continually or they are just acting like they believe in him for power, money, or whatever their purpose is. 

People in this country are not ignorant. They are smart but get taken by con men because they want to believe. Trump knows that much. So does every other con man.

He seems disinterested as to what problems his behavior causes. He realizes that his base of dedicated followers enable him to roam the world and be obnoxious, uncivil, immoral, and just plain stupid. 

He actually is a just a good old fashioned dunce in the truest sense of the word. He does not read, he appears incapable of thinking very deeply, evaluating, or acting responsibly let alone thinking in three dimensional terms. 

He is too psychologically short circuited to act like an adult. So, he acts like a spoiled, impudent teen age punk. 

What is going on here? Are we now a nation without the courage to stand up to evil? Are we scared of a nitwit like Trump?

 No.We are not. This whole thing with Trump getting over on the whole nation inhabited by the best, nicest, sensitive, toughest, smartest, daring and heroic people on the planet is just temporary. 

 We have not gotten permanently hypnotized and brainwashed by a simpleton named Donald J.Trump. It is not possible. It is a mistake that has not gotten corrected. 

There will be a national awakening of consciousness and sensibility. Trump will either be brought down by the citizens or blow himself up politically with his ignorance and grandeur. 
Either way, he is a loser and losers are called losers for a reason.
They lose.

Uber Bad News Company Going South

Uber is a big, fat flop. It’s a mean spirited, totally money driven company that could not care less about it’s employees and drivers. Uber acts like they care about their passengers. Not true. Money is their entire mentality. Their stock is way down. Want to go south? Jump into Uber.

BULLY DONALD TRUMP IS DONE AND CRASHING DOWN

We all know about bullies. You cannot go through life very long without running into a bully or actually being bullied.

Donald Trump is the best example of a bully we will ever witness. He has bullied the entire country. He became President by bullying all his competitors. He developed a following of about 45% of the country by ingratiating those people who are open to become brainwashed and will support a bully.

Now, he hangs onto power because like any bully he retains a hard core of supporters who depend upon him for power, protection, money, prestige, and because they are too afraid to abandon him. They need him.

The walls are going to come crashing down on Trump because bullies can only go so far. Than, they either self destruct by their ignorance and uncontrollable instincts or they get taken down by all the descent people who suddenly realize that a bully is ruining their lives and their families lives personally, in morally, or for many other reasons. 

Trump will not continue to make a garbage can out of the United States and our allies.

Bullies thrive for a while but they cannot survive. They are bad, weak, narcissistic, selfish, horrible garbage human beings that finally are recognized as such and end up in on the street, in jail, in a mental institution, or in prison.

Trump is total scum. He is among the lowest, most reprehensible, illiterate, unconscionable destructive animals some Americans misguidedly gave their support to. 

He is now publicly being revealed for the sub-human he is and always has been by the brave people who have taken him on. I do not care whether or not Trump beats this impeachment effort or not. 
He is a bully who has lost his power because courageous people have stood up to him. 

The game is ending for him. America is not ready for a dictator Trump wants to be one. He is in the wrong country.

Nancy Pelosi is a smart, kind, astute politician who knows political strategy. She did not want to start impeachment against this bully because she knows the Republican dominated Senate will not convict him and throw him out. So what? Pelosi and the House of Representatives are standing up for  what is right. 

Trump has now been punched in the nose by the gutsy few who have said they will take no more from him. That is what to do to bullies. You just do not take their crap.
The rest will take care of itself. 

Trump is the countries biggest spoiled brat and bully. He has been enabled his whole life because of money and a gang of supporters who always fall in love with bullies. 

They will get thrown under the bus along by him. They all do not know that. They will find out.

Trump is going down. Hopefully, he will end up in jail.
He is about at the end of his bully empire.

GOOGLE ADSENSE HAS AN INEXPENSIVE COMPETITOR

The handle for my shower broke and I got frantic because I am totally helpless when it comes to fixing anything. I can't even change a flat tire. Call me lazy, stupid, inept, or whatever. The bottom line is my brain and hands are no good for anything that needs assembly. 


I have tried forever to become proficient with computers. I cannot. That has been my deficient reality for 71 years. I could not learn geometry either.

You have no idea how hard I have concentrated on learning   computer programs. No dice. I would like to make a little bit of money from this blog but I make peanuts from Google Adsense.   

Adsense is Googles bookkeeping arm to keep track of all the data bloggers provide by the clicks received generated to blogs they read and shop from. Google pays their bloggers per each click received. Google pays peanuts and makes a lot from both their bloggers and those who read their blog called Blogger.

 The advertising content which Google puts on any blog is related to the reader demographics. A blog receives the type of ads from  Google they can get maximum clicks with based on reader interests. Google tracks everything to monetize each of their blogs and pays their bloggers per click. Google charges advertisers to be placed on various blogs. We are talking hundreds of millions going through Adsense. 

 A blogger can disregard Google Adsense and can allow advertisers to run ads for less money than Google.  Also, a blogger makes more by going direct. I figured all that out! Look out Google Adsense. Your monopoly is over! Davids Place is your new competition. We are coming after your market with better prices.

Since I never will become technically proficient with computers but have an advertising backround and love composing and selling ads I will build this blog my way. I am going rogue. 

Davids Place is now accepting paid advertising to run on this blog. This may be your new, profitable home. It reaches thousands of people who read and shop from blogs each day. So, if we agree on terms than jump in and run your ad here.

PLEASE NOTE-
We reserve the right to reject any ad for any reason at any time. 
We only will accept advertising from well established, reputable, and appropriate businesses who are fair and reasonable to their customers and generous to their communities.

Davids Place is looking only for quality ads from quality people.

Advertising from professional people, service businesses, recruitment ads, educational and training ads, tour and travel ads, , business opportunities, restaurants and entertainment ads, special events, items for sale,  community announcements are a few of the types of ads we seek. 
We are offering limited free space for non-profits and some others who are unable to do paid for advertising. 

REQUIREMENTS:

Only EMAILED ads in English with clean copy accepted.  
 A physical address will be sent to you upon ad approval with an invoice.
Only checks, money orders, or Paypal accepted.
Cost-$25.00 for up to 25 words. $0.50 cents per word thereafter.

We will contact you with any questions.

There is NO set up charge.

NO artwork will be used, no special borders, fonts, color, or special positions will be given, no proofs will be sent (just check the blog and any errors will adjusted.) You get text only.

Go to kingdavidsplace.blogspot.com. That is my blog and the only place where your ad will appear.
The readership is composed of many thousands of people each day. I have a very loyal following between ages 21-69 of both males and females, single and married.  Most are from the United States. Also, some are from around the globe. 
Davids Place has been around many years but has never accepted advertising before. 
Give it a try.



MY GUARANTEE:
You get fair pricing, and uncomplicated advertising in a format that appeals to many blog readers who may need your services. This blog can be as effective or more effective than anything you have tried. People buy from places that make them comfortable and happy. Davids Place will do that. 
We look forward to your business.

It’s so rude to professional Starbucks pissers who are listening to the hand dryer blowing thinking they will be able to relieve themselves when the blower stops. .
Just the other day I stopped at my favorite Starbucks which is on my delivery route. I had a fierce urge to pee. My old bladder was bursting.

I walked in and looked toward the single bathroom door and I saw there was no one waiting to go in. Relief. I felt happy but only for seconds. Then, I turned the handle of the door and it was locked. “Shit,” I mumbled to myself. I heard someone  inside shuffling. 
I started swaying nervously waiting to hear the toilet flush. It did quickly. Then the hand blower started blasting away.

Oh. Thank goodness I thought. Relief was only a  few seconds away. I then heard the blower turn off and I already had my hand on my zipper in anticipation of emptying my bloated bladder.

But, the door did not open. Another few moments went by and I was sweating and swaying and getting crazy. I was about to pee in my pants. After all, I’m sixty nine years old. My bladder is no longer made of steel. Now, it seems to be made of tissue paper.

Another moment passed and I couldn’t take it anymore. I snapped. I pounded hard on the door with both fists. Nothing happened. Then, I started kicking the door while still pounding away with both hands.
Still, no response.

I started screaming “ whoever you are please get out of there” “I gotta go bad.” Still, nobody came out. My bladder felt like would explode.The piss was just about to burst out. I grabbed my crotch. It was personal now. This bastard inside was trying to torture me. 

I screamed “get the fuck out of there, asshole, I’m dying here”.
The door finally opened and this little prick with a Chicago White Sox cap emerged. I felt brave knowing I was not going to get punched out by some nasty dude. 

As I roughly moved  past the little shit who was about four and a half feet tall and maybe eight years old I screamed at him ” Did you ever think someone was waiting to get in here?” He looked up at me as if he had never been talked to angrily before.

I emptied my tortured bladder, came out and started heading back to my van. Just as I was pulling open the front door this big, strong, heavily tattooed guys hand clamped around the back of my neck. Mr. muscle bound, scary looking guy growled “that’s my son you were hassling, asshole” pointing down to the little prick who was now grinning widely at me. I stuttered “umm, ah, I”.

The bruiser father interrupted my stutter. He said “You have three words your're going to say to my little son Tommy “Repeat them back to him or say goodnight.” He cocked his arm back and I stared at a big, ready fist”.”Say, I’m sorry Tommy”. 

I looked down at this little brat who was now roaring with laughter at me. Than, I looked into the eyes of his brute of a father. It was time to humiliate myself. My  thumping heart was sure daddy meant business.

“I’m sorry Tommy” I gurgled. “Haha” little Tommy cackled.
 
Big, mean daddy looked at me as I walked away  “Go get your bladder fixed shithead” he said. He waited for an answer.

I could only mumble “right” as I slithered out the door.


GOOGLE ADSENSE PAYS PEANUTS TO BLOGGERS

Pennies. Peanuts. This blog makes almost nothing. It is worthless as a money maker. That is going to change, I have had it         Davids Place running for many years. I have tried to use Google Adsense to monetize it. Cannot. 
But, I love Davids Place and I love writing so I am changing it  to make some retirement money..

I am going to start running ads here. Just inexpensive, simple, black and white ads, all American old school text ads. 
I'll accept only certain advertising and I reserve the right to reject any ad for any reason.

NO ads for anything considered unacceptable, offensive, or promoting violence will be approved and accepted.
  
I am looking for advertising from Professionals, trades people, service businesses, recruiters, healthcare, training and classes etc. Only honest, high quality, and reputable businesses are invited and will be considered.

Initial price will be $1.00 per word a minimum of 20 words. Accepted ads will run for  a minimum of 30 days continually.
So, you have to spend ten bucks to reach the massive audience of people in the blogosphere.

Ads will be composed of text only. Ads will be typed into any open blog spot of our choice .Advertiser must check blog to obtain copy of ad.

No borders, no color, no artwork, no special position, or bold print. or any special treatment of copy. Only plain text.
Any ad can be refused and permanently rejected for any reason.  

NO ads that promote or advertise violence, guns, drugs, or anything that is not generally considered legitimate, moral, and wholesome  copy.
 You will be treated fairly and honestly. There are no guarantees.

 Email only complete copy about the advertisement you wish to run.  Do not make special requests. Forget about the phone.
 Please include your phone number. 
DO NOT send in payment until your ad is approved by email with a bill included. 
Only checks or money orders accepted.
Accepted ads to be posted within 2 days of payment received. 



Now, lets see if I have any takers. Maybe I just backed into a new business considering that over 30 million people in the United States shop blogs each day.  

My first ad, which I am giving away FREE is for                              ACE HARDWARE.

I am going to the Ace Hardware store in Margate, Florida located at 5843 Margate Blvd. Their phone number is 954-972-1711. I need to buy a part for my shower. They are good and friendly to deal with.
I asked one of the old boys in my over 55 complex and I was told that Ace is still the best place for shower parts. Tell them where you found them.
www.hardwaredistributors.com

Do you think this idea will work. Talk to me.
I am a 71 year old retired,  technically challenged guy who does not know shit about computers, codes, search engines, algorithms, or anything else related to developing a big following. 
I do know advertising like this very well. 

I have had this blog for many years and have never yet gotten a single check from Google. They have owed me about $96.00 forever and you need to reach $100.00 to get paid. 

I would have probably made a bundle o cash if I knew what the fuck I was doing.  In fact, I really hate concentrating on the one critical area that blogs depend on for success. That is content. One must be focused into a single subject and write about it like crazy. Well, that is too boring.

Some days I want to write about depression and others I want to write about women and other days I want to write about pickle ball.
I refuse to abide by the norms required to be effective blogging the formal way.

 I am now starting to work on generating dollars and business to all the millions of people who may read my blog.
All you need is one advertiser or one service or product to succeed.
Give Davids Place a try.
Thank You.

FUCK YOU GOOGLE ADSENSE I MEAN GOOGLE NONSENSE

Fuck Google and their Adsense Dept. That is the place that keeps an accounting of how many clicks your blog receives so Google can pay you based on those clicks. 

Adsense records all the data about how many viewers your writing attracts and all related demographic data in order to get effective exposure for their advertisers. 
Clicks represent money for Google. Viewers represent power and earnings for those who use Adsense correctly. I can't. 

Adsense has only meant Nonsense for me. It has been worthless. If any of my new blog material gets picked up by Google Adsense from now on than great.  But, I am done trying to understand how and why it happens. 
You are hereby fired Google Adsense. 

If one wants to use Adsense properly they must know how to paste code on their blog, how to use search engine friendly terms, how to configure ads, and know a ton of other computer information that is way too technical for me. 

It has been so SICKENING for this 71 year old school guy to unsuccessfully try to learn technical computer stuff. One must be at least a little computer savvy. I am not and never will be any good with computers or their languages.   

 I would rather sit in this seat writing stuff I want to write that may never be seen than be perpetually frustrated because I do not have and cannot learn the computer skills experienced bloggers have that gets their blogs audiences. I am now a happy technical dinosaur.  I love to write and I will continue to write. But, on my terms.  

 After years of trying Googles way I am emancipating myself from Googles grasp of my beaten up brain. I will use a few search terms and words. Just easy, generic stuff.  That's all. Why did I ever struggle to learn what I cannot learn?

They say content, content, content wins the day in blogging. Content is king. Write good content and the world will beat a path to your blog door is conventional blogging wisdom. I am all in on that concept.

 Now, I can finally sit down and write without being intimidated because I think I should be torturing myself trying to figure out impossible computer navigation instructions to get higher exposure and big earnings.

 I have been stuck on Google Adsense now aka as Google Nonsense with Google owing me $96.00 for several years. You have to make a $100.00 blogging on Google to get paid. I cannot get there. Keep my money Google. Good riddance Adsense.

I have a good blog with lots of true life stories of pleasure and pain, stories of romance, of wild times, of the psychological torment of fighting my obsessive compulsive behavior. Lots of all kinds of other interesting stuff too. 

I have written about everything from explicit short stories, to the importance of clean, public toilets, to depression and fear, to senior softball in Florida. 

 I have written about the agony and ecstasy of building a business, ruining my life and resurrecting it and about compelling, fascinating romances, crazy and brilliant people I have known, and dangerous things I have done to prove misdirected manhood,  Also, lots about my lifelong battle with obsessive compulsive behavior. (OCD) 

I am a compulsive gambler. It is a main topic I have written much about how joining Gamblers Anonymous has been my salvation or I would not be here anymore. My last bet was January 9, 2009. 

 The most important thing I have ever done in my life was stopping gambling with the help and support of my Gamblers Anonymous brothers and sisters. I am still very active in Gamblers Anonymous and will be forever one day at a time. 
It saved my life. It saves so many others.  

It may be a valuable subject for some of you possibly compulsive gamblers and addicted people out there to find out about. Get help if you have a gambling or addiction problem. 

Just Google compulsive gambling or addiction wherever you are. People are waiting to help you. They are the same as you. Call and a sympathetic person will talk to you. It's easy. It's FREE. Helpful, sensitive and friendly people who care are all over the world. They have been where you are now. 

There is easily over 150 stories and posts to peruse if you punch my blog up. Write a comment. Send it in. I love them.

 If you want to look at my stuff come and find me right here, not on some other blog or platform. 

Good riddance Google Adsense. I mean Google Nonsense.
You are fired.

Catch me at kingdavidsplace.blogspot.com.

Thanks.
David

NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT


 I cannot sneeze again. This inability to sneeze has been going on for 20 years now. I go into cycles of weeks where I cannot complete a sneeze. The ahhh comes....but the choo does not. I have been deep in one of those cycles. I think I have sneezed once in the last 2 weeks. I am now jealous of anyone who shoots out a sneeze, My girlfriend just blasted out a ferocious honker. I lovingly said gazuntite. But, I am quietly jealous and envious. I know my issue has nothing to do with a physical problem. I feel fine. But, my neurotic head will not allow me to function. I wait to sneeze minute by minute. I cannot. This is not a joke.

OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Still torturing Me at age 71

I'm sitting here so miserable with really nothing to be miserable about accept the Obsessive Compulsive disorder I suffer from which is raging non-stop through my defective brain like a California wildfire. 

Oh, man, does this hurt. Not a physical pain in my body either. Just the same mental torment my 71 year old body has been suffering from since I used to sweat profusely all over my pillow when I was a little boy. You see, I could not rest until I lined that pillow up perfectly in a certain position and perfectly might not come for an hour or two.

So, much has changed externally in all these years but internally its the same torture chamber that only opens up if I act out in some insane way to relieve the obsessive demons. Unfortunately, acting out is at best short term relief or, in the alternative, no relief at all, only making my OCD worse. 

Intellectual understandings of mental illness does nothing to relieve the pain. Ask any nut like me. 
So, I understand why I need to go punch a brutally tough kick boxer even though I know I will get my ass destroyed at best and end up handicapped or dead. At least the urge to fight this animal will go away so I will not have to live with the fear of anticipating this absolutely unnecessary fight.

 But, another equally bad or worse obsession will be born quickly and live in the glorious rent free utopia of my mind while keeping its foot over any joy or peace I try to find.

I know, I know, the answer lies close to me always in my thoroughly therapy saturated brain. All the dynamic psychological cognitive brain tricks I've learned give me a little peace occasionally. But mostly I stay in OCD hell no matter what. 
Don't cry for me Argentina.

Eating Strawberries and Whip Cream With My Hands Is No Big Deal?

The argument is about strawberries!! Really. strawberries. My girlfriend is all pissy tonight. She did not want to go out. She is too tired. I said fine. Good with me. Anyway, we usually get along. I'm this 70 year old Jewish, divorced guy who started another life in Florida after living in Chicago until four months ago. I met my wonderful, absolutely brilliant and indescribably gorgeous girlfriend a few months ago. Now, we live together. We both are retired and she takes care of me like a baby. She loves me crazy, crazy and I love her the same way. I am kind of an entitled, spoiled brat who does not follow normal protocols in many areas .My girlfriend does not mind my being kind of sloppy, impulsive, demanding and I am willing to accept her being habitually late, being lovingly domineering,and needing lights and TVs turned off way too early. I'ts all good usually. 
But, not tonight.

 Well, she got out of bed for a snack. I followed her to the kitchen. 
I love strawberries and whip cream which I made a big bowl of. I never learned how to eat certain foods properly so  I go primitive and use my hands sometimes.

Tonight, Connie went nuts about me eating the berries and whip cream with my fingers.

 I thought nothing of it until she totally went off on me. "Honey, she screeched. What are you doing eating with your hands like that"? "What's the big deal I answered" She said "you eat like a pig" "Huh", I responded. "No one, not even little babies eat with their hands like you." "so, big deal" I answered? 

"No honey, no way. "I'm going to take pictures of you eating like that and send them to your kids" Than, she left the room and took her snack to another room. I followed her trying to make my case. She would not bite.  So, after she would not accept my explanations I became a baby and would not follow her back to the bedroom as she asked me to.

 Than, she told me "Why don't you write about this" See what your audience thinks"
"Ok", I said.
So, w hat do you think about eating strawberries and whip cream with your fingers?

Compulsive Gambling and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

A realization dawned on me this morning when I woke up a few hours earlier than  normal. I was not tired but actually inspired. I wanted badly to write in my beloved blog which unfortunately does not love me back because I have been writing forever on Google Blogger but I have not attained the $100.00 mark in earnings needed to get a payout by Google.

The above is not nearly the focus of this article. It could be. I get distracted.

This is about how I see the relationship between Compulsive Gambling and Obsessive/ Compulsive Disorder. (OCD)

I am, sorrowfully, an expert in both areas considering my tortured, devastating, overwhelmingly painful, lifelong experiences with both disorders. 

 A little background. I am a seventy year old, single male in reasonably good health. I'm retired on very little money even though I made millions. I lost most of the money gambling. Yes!!

Just so you know. I'm sidelined because of an Achilles heal injury that I have been struggling with for eight weeks.  I blew it out playing senior softball and it is taking forever to heal. Consequently, I cannot do much now other then swim and stretch because I will just hurt it again.  
 Alright alright, I'll write.

 I figured I'd tell you all that so you don't think I'm a total waste just sitting at a poker table, eating a double cheeseburger and obsessing about lost dreams.  Or, writing only because I'm busted. No.
Writing is something I love to do and it is wonderful therapy. It also makes me feel like I am making a lasting contribution to someone. I have never injured my leg writing, either.

 I have lived an interesting life filled with the type of experiences in almost every aspect of it that fills novels and movies. I have been given a huge share of good fortune with health and family.  My life has also been both extraordinarily happy and brutally sad but has never been boring. I know, I still have not started writing about what I intended to write about.
That is because I have trouble staying focused. 
Deal with it!!

Ok. Thanks for indulging me. I'm now ready, after that little self help, to write about what I think is the connection between compulsive gambling and obsessive compulsive disorder. 

When a person is a compulsive gambler they are controlled by a continual urge to gamble. It does not matter what type of gambling they do whether it's horses, stocks, poker, or lottery tickets. It is an urge that stays with every compulsive gambler for life. That urge seems, incorrectly, to be all about money. Winning and losing. Ironically, it has nothing to do with either. It is only about the action that is craved by every compulsive gambler no matter what the game or the stakes.

The same principle applies with obsessive/compulsive disorder. It has nothing to do with one really being concerned about whether the lights or water or whatever else is turned off or was left on. 

I suffer from only obsessional thinking. Not  compulsive checking and hand washing etc. It stays in my head.  I get some physically fearful thought and I feel that to get relief I have to act it out. Like walking down a dark alley, facing a wild animal,  standing up to a violent person. Confronting danger. Physically fighting used to be what I would force myself to do because I was bullied when I was young and can still easily feel bullied. I have been consumed by fear and have struggled to find relief by misguided ways to prove my manhood.

Acting out is wrong. That applies to all urges. Taking action to get relief seems to be the answer. Whether its placing a bet, checking the lights or jumping into a lions cage. It is not ever right. 
Understanding that both ocd urges and gambling urges can only be accepted and dealt with psychologically is critical.. That  is the only way to get lasting relief. Urges must be dealt with from within. 

.Accepting the reality that you have a disease centered on an abnormal urge you must live with is the real answer. There are no other solutions to any addictions other than abstaining. You gotta stop. Giving in to sick urges to gamble or to engage in obsessive compulsive behavior cannot succeed for anyone. The same is true across the board for all addictions. 
They can never be cured by engaging them. 
 Only with acceptance and help comes legitimate relief. 

Checking the gas or making one more bet will never be the answer.
 But, it takes very hard work. Find a group, a therapist, or whatever enables you to face the reality of 
your addictive problems. Get into it. Your life will change for the better. Guaranteed.



Actually, it's comforting to know my addictions are not my or any of our faults. Than, we know that we are blameless until we understand. Than, if we do not stop it is our fault. New damages are on us addicts once we know better. 

 Addicts cannot act alone. We all need others like us. Twelve step programs are critical. Find one. There is a program for everyone. You have to want to recover.

 I used to have a constant urge to gamble on anything. Sometimes I still do. Than, I would lose or win. It did not matter. I could not stop until I had lost all my money. Than, I could not wait to find a few pennies or a few hundred thousand dollars to gamble with again. But, it is only about the action. Not the money. Honest. 

 I have stolen, defrauded, stolen other peoples money, lied, cheated and been in terrible legal trouble and physical danger. I was a horrible husband and father. But, I would never stop gambling. Gambling was my ultimate lover who I could escape to. The lover who would always love me.  

Finally, after joining and failing in Gamblers Anonymous several times I came back to a GA meeting on January 9, 2009 and have not gambled a penny since then. If I bet anything right now I'd be into full blown gambling immediately. I know that. So does every compulsive gambler.

 I have suffered for fifty of my seventy years gambling almost everyday no matter what.  Family, business, romance,  ravaging obsessive compulsive disorder, or anything else I was into came second. Gambling came first. I gambled away at least two million dollars of money I earned in a newspaper I founded, family inheritance money, bank loans and personal loans. The amount is irrelevant though.

I stopped gambling because I knew I would die, go insane, or end up in jail if I kept on.
  Finally, it was just because I was sick of being sick that I gave it up. I surrendered to the fact that I was powerless over gambling.
Jail, psychiatrists, loving friends and family, beautiful kids and a great wife did not stop me. Survival did. I decided I wanted to be a better person.  

My brain is wired wrong when it comes to addictions. It can be obsessive compulsive disorder, gambling, alcohol, sex, food or just about anything. Research has shown addicts are powerless in trying to control their addictions unless they accept them and decide not to give in to any of the urges. 
Also, I realized that I could not stop my addiction without group help, therapy, and forgiving myself. .
So, I will do that as of today, May 29, 2019. 
Again.
You do it too. Google your addiction. Get help.
