Have you ever thought about a world without men? My dad used to say that women did not need men and as soon as they figured out how to reproduce without them, they’d kill off all the men so they could live in peace. According to a story in the NYT today, some termites in Japan are doing just that - reproducing without males and doing just fine.
What's it like to spend $850 billion in one fell swoop? I didn't have time to read the whole thing. I got stopped on Section 8041 that said, "Prohibits funds provided by this bill from being used for assistance to North Korea unless the funds are specifically appropriated for that purpose."
I can say all this, because I grew up with a father who had what we used to call, "a dirty mind." He would announce when he saw a woman without a bra. He would make inappropriate comments about women's appearance. He liked to watch Sonny and Cher so he could make note of her latest surgery.
I hope you are not going "crazy" after receiving some chuckles at the UN when you stated that you accomplished more over two years than “almost any administration.” Some folks speculate that you slipped into your MAGA rally mode and forgot for a moment that the assembled world leaders were not necessarily your fans.
I know you prefer to simplify problems and whittle them down to an us against them situation. You did that last year at your UN speech when you vilified Kim Jung Un, calling him "Rocket Man." I think you are coming to realize it's not so simple in Korea, and Kim Jung Un is as inscrutable as you are.
I do have one quick suggestion. Talk to Jacinda Ardern, PM of New Zealand. She's not joining the 129 countries who are signing your drug pledge because she prefers to do what works best for NA based on evidence. Sounds like she's got some research that could be useful to us and finding out what it is could be quite helpful.
Do you think Josh Hawley has a chance? I think he may be a bit young. According to Politico, his efforts in the Senate race have been "lackadaisical." He's turning down all kinds of opportunities to share his message so much so that St. Louis conservative-talk show, host, Mark Reardon, is "pissed" and "frustrated."
Campus is always exciting in late Sept. Freshmen wander around campus trying to look cool. New riders weave in and out of the bike traffic, occasionally losing their balance and colliding with others. Hormones run high as 20-year olds hunt for new mates. The anticipation of starting new classes with the rush of novel ideas and cutting-edge methods captivates the students and invigorates their instructors.
The fact that almost everyone at the table was a Republican made things easy for you. The only Democrat in sight was NC Governor Roy Cooper. Did he mention his opposition to off-shore drilling or remind you that he had to pull NC National Guard folk off of border patrol so they wouldn't have to separate kids from their parents?
Speaking of your people, Don Scavino is doing a great job tweeting out to them. Don't you think? You are so lucky to have such a devoted helper! Apparently, Don loves you so much that he gave up his marriage for you. According to Robert Draper in the NYT, Don looks after your #MAGA congregation and is the longest tenured employee in the WH.
You don't have any appointments scheduled and you didn't have any yesterday either. I hope everything is ok. Maybe you are having second thoughts about the tariffs and are hatching a plan to eliminate them. The RV makers in Elkhart Indiana would be happy to hear that. According to today's NYT, RV shipments in June were down 18.7% and some manufacturers have cut back to a 4-day work week.
