Dear President Trump, Look how easily we’ve slid into full-on war-mode and how easily we’ve let impeachment slip down the priority list. I know you don’t drink, but have you all been doing a lot of self-congratulatory glass-clinking lately? Have you been getting hearty slaps on the back from old pals who can get away … Continue reading Thank goodness for heroes
Peace (and War)
Testing, testing…..
Dear President Trump, Laura laughed last night when I told her I’d finally gotten to chapter 7 in the Abramson’s Proof of Conspiracy (the Kindle says I’m about 52% of the way through it). I’ve already been reading it for months now and it will probably take another few months to steadily plod through the … Continue reading Testing, testing…..
Two mini-stories
Dear President Trump, My mom emailed this morning after reading yesterday’s letter and had these important points to add: “What if the US/Iran conflict is intended to be the ultimate distraction from the impeachment proceedings? After all, war has consistently been shown to enhance economic growth and public perception of POTUS as the great defender … Continue reading Two mini-stories
Things are even scarier just below the surface
Dear President Trump, I think you know by now that my usual practice is to start, if not fully draft, my letters to you early in the morning and then clean them up and send them to you in the evening. This works well from a time management standpoint, but on days like yesterday it … Continue reading Things are even scarier just below the surface
Out with the old
Dear President Trump, Happy New Year to you! There, how’s that for a magnanimous way to start out 2020? And it’s really true – I hope you have a good new year, one that is nice and quiet and involves you getting lots of rest and that consequently offers the country a chance to start … Continue reading Out with the old
Symbols
Dear President Trump, I took today off to have a breather between the Christmas holiday week and starting back to work tomorrow and it was definitely a good call. We got some computer stuff figured out this morning (really, Laura got it figured out – I just lent a bit of moral support), we got … Continue reading Symbols
An ok Christmas and a blessing
Dear President Trump, The day got away from me and it’s late so this is just a postcard of sorts wishing you an ok Christmas and sending out a blessing for everyone (even you). May it be true one day very soon that we all have safe, warm places to call home. May our collective … Continue reading An ok Christmas and a blessing
The Taliban and Trump’s GOP; compare and contrast
Dear President Trump, One of the things I read this morning was the Q&A between readers and the WP authors who wrote and researched the multi-part story about the Afghanistan War. The whole Q&A piece was interesting, but it was the last line of the last answer to the last question that seriously caught my … Continue reading The Taliban and Trump’s GOP; compare and contrast
Locked away in a manger
Dear President Trump, We all got up way too early this morning. The dogs get to lounge around all day so they’ll be fine, but it’s probably going to be rough for Laura and me. I did take a walk first thing and that may help; mobilizing for an early morning walk usually lets me … Continue reading Locked away in a manger
Caring that we get things right
Dear President Trump, All sorts of things are going on in the news this morning. First, it looks like your trade deal with Mexico and Canada is getting a nice boost from Speaker Pelosi (fortunately after stronger supports for unions and workers’ rights were added). Second, despite your bogus complaints about the “do-nothing Democrats,” Pelosi … Continue reading Caring that we get things right
