…According to the Palm Beach Post he (Felix Sater) is mentioned 104 times in the report. How can it be that I have not heard of him before? I know that you claim that you wouldn't be able to pick FHS out of line-up but Michael Cohen thinks otherwise. It's possible that you'd be oblivious to the people who shared your floor in Trump Towers but unlikely…
Thanks for hosting the 29 Wounded Warriors at the WH today. Isn't it wonderful that they are healing on the saddles of their bicycles and creating a community? Please express my appreciation to Jeremiah Pauley and Jorge Avalos, and promise them you will do your best to prevent other young folk from having to suffer the long-term effects of war by keeping the US out of military entanglements. I am sure they agree with us that WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER….
…Please remember the Quaker mantra, "War is not the answer." I encourage you to go with your gut instinct to avoid USA involvement in other countries. Be like Gilda Radner's character, Emily Litella, and tell Congress, "never mind," and go ahead and sign the resolution to pull our troops out of Yemen…
… I saw a clip of your remarks in Minnesota about the fire, and I could tell that you shared my sense of loss. Some in the press are critiquing your suggestion to send water tankers to douse the flames. I am learning to keep such suggestions to myself with the understanding that I don't know everything and that folks with more knowledge and experience than I are handling the situation….
…I am led to preach to you today because you have been saying mean things about Rep. Ilhan Omar and now people are threatening to kill her. I wish you didn't have that effect on some people. But, believe it or not, some people take what you say very seriously. I tend not to. I have been conditioned by the Ambrose side of my family to expect exaggeration and sarcasm so I always listen with skepticism to what you are saying….
…I suspect that your impudence may have come from being sent to the principal's office once too often. Frequent visitors to the principal eventually learn that being in trouble isn't that bad. They get reprimanded, maybe have to spend an hour sitting around and then get sent back to class. They eventually become immune to the sting of shame and grow into repeat offenders. Am I right? Did you get sent to the principal a lot?…
Something weird is going on at the NYT. Your name does not appear on the front page of the website. Not once! That has to be on purpose. Don't you think? You had that meeting with MJI yesterday, and you two talked about arranging another meeting with KJU. Certainly, that is worthy of reporting on the front page…
… I hope your visit with Moon Jae-In (MJI) goes well today. He's got lots of ideas about how to keep the denuclearization effort moving forward. I'm afraid he has not spoken with KJU like you asked him to, but he has not lost hope. MJI has an idea about an "early harvest" that sounds promising. It involves inspecting the denuclearization of Yongbyon. I think it's a place to start. I hope you'll consider it….
…The folks in Crosby, TX are thrilled that you are coming through town today. You might want to bring your face mask to protect your lungs from the fumes that might still be lingering in the air after their recent fire at the KMCO plant. Folks in Texas are tired of those chemical fires and most really don't want you to eliminate the US Chemical Safety Board….
…Please help me understand why you are hosting Abdel Fattah al-Sisiat at the WH today? I'm sure you are well aware that he's trying to get some amendments to Egypt's constitution so he can be in power until 2034. Even if he were a benevolent ruler, that would be a bad idea. Don't you think? …
…I am having trouble getting started with this letter today, because I am not sure what to say about Kirstjen Nielsen. Her loyalty to you has been impressive…. She practiced parrhesia, speaking the truth about what you could and could not do under the law. I did not agree with many of her decisions, but I did admire her grit and determination.
… I am wondering about your choice to nominate Herman Cain to be on the Federal Reserve. He doesn't seem to have the right disposition, and he certainly has a thing against Democrats. He says that they“brainwash” the nation, “murder kids” and will “rig the next election." He may know how to sell pizza but is that enough to set monetary policy?…
…Have you visited Sheldon Adelson? It must be bittersweet for him, with his Sands stocks appreciating dramatically from his thriving gambling business in Macau and his health deteriorating from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I tried to figure out about Sheldon's efforts to influence the Israeli election by reading an op-ed in the Haaertz by Bradly Burston but it just left me confused…
… If I had more time I would stop by Calexico to say "hi" while we are both down in So Cal today. The folks there are hoping you will take a look at the New River while you check out the border. It sounds AWFUL! They'd prefer we invest our federal $ in a water treatment plant to take care of the all of the waste being dumped into the H2O by folks in Mexicali….
