May I recommend that you treat yourself to a few hours of Hendel's Messiah? It'll do your soul some good and will be much more uplifting than watching Fox News. Unfortunately, you missed the performances at the Washington Cathedral earlier in the month. […]

I'm sorry to hear that the WH is a lonely place for you. At least that's the impression that I got from reading the NYT's top story today, "A War Every Day, Waged Increasingly Alone." It doesn't have to be that way, but changing things will require you to do some deep soul searching […]

I'm afraid any one of this week's events could be the straw. That's what Michael Gerson alluded to last night on PBS. Judy Woodruff called it "a week like no other," but she's been saying that for the past two years […]

It looks like you had fun when signing the farm bill yesterday. I'm glad Debbie Stabenow showed up even though she's mad at you about your 'regulation (that) “blatantly ignores” the farm bill that Congress passed.' […]

Who will be joining you when you sign the farm bill today? My guess is Mitch McConnell will be right behind you, beaming. I think it's great that he has been championing hemp production and that now Kentucky farmers can make big bucks selling crops to make CBD oil […]

Congratulations on getting First Step passed! Jared must be thrilled. It's great that convicts will get more opportunities to re-enter society and that judges will get some flexibility in sentencing. So much sensible stuff that almost everyone is in favor of it. It's great to end the year with a bi-partisan win in Congress […]

How was the party last night? The only news of it was in the Daily Caller describing Melania as dazzling in her sleeveless black dress. No fake news there. It's too bad that Melania feels attacked by the press. […]

[…] How was the Ball last night? Did you dance with Melania? She looked fabulous!  I haven’t owned a formal gown in years and haven’t been to a “Ball” since high school.[…]

It was great to see Barron so happy in a photo of Wayne Rooney at one of your many Christmas parties. I had never heard of Wayne until this morning when I found out he is the best soccer player England has seen in years […]

Did you and J.B. compare notes on the challenge of keeping your finances hidden from public view? I was surprised to learn that he has even more money than you do. I am starting to wonder if the USA is heading in the direction of being an aristocracy where rich folk run everything […]

Today you’ll have a chance to meet Gretchen Whitmer who will be joining some other Governor elects for your WH event. She’s into building bridges rather than walls and took a bus tour of MI where the slogan was “fix the damn roads.” I think you’ll like her even if she is a Democrat […]

… Opportunity and Revitalization Zones - It sounds good in theory but I wonder if it's going to have the intended consequences. Investing in poor neighborhoods seems like it should help folks, but I wonder if it's just going to be another way to make the rich, richer […]

… I hope your meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer goes well this morning. I encourage you to sit in silence together for a few minutes so you might all get some divine inspiration to resolve our immigration disagreements. My Friend, Kary, is down at the border right now with a group of religious folk protesting the heavy military presence there. Their slogan is “Love knows no borders.” …

… I just read the piece in today’s WP about the 14 Trump associates who had conversations about a possible Trump-Putin meeting. I felt like I was reading War and Peace with all of those wonderful Russian names. Oleg Deripaska, Dmitry Klokov, Konstanin Kilmnik… It doesn’t get any better than that!…
