…Given all that Dayton has been through, with the opioid epidemic, the terrible tornadoes in May and now this shooting, I hope you'll give Nan (The Mayor) some help with her immigration idea. It's the least you can do…

… It was nice to see all of those folks involved in the trade negotiations celebrating at the WH yesterday. Don't you love it that the National CattleMEN's Beef Association is led by a woman from TN? Maybe next time, Jennifer Houston will bring you the cowboy hat you admired so much…

… Your guy, Dr. Robert Redfield, proposed organizing syringe exchanges. I think that's a great idea, and seems like a bold move for a Republican. In the past, folks like Jesse Helms said, funding needle exchanges was like the government saying, "it’s not only all right to use drugs, but we’ll give you the needles.” …

…Your meeting with Mongolian President Battulga Khaltmaatoday will be fascinating. You, two, have a lot in common, "tough" anti-establishment guys with business backgrounds which include some sketchy dealings…

…I encourage you to take a look at the article in today's NYT about the closing of the Warroad Pioneer, the newspaper that has been serving a corner of northern MN for the last 121 years. The owner says that the“dire retail reconfiguration and exodus has had a catastrophic impact on this community newspaper.” Maybe you can do something about this…

 So, you're in Jamestown to celebrate the first meeting of a representative assembly in 1619. I hope that you take VA Gov. Ralph Northam's word to heart, “We know our diversity is our strength, and we welcome immigrants, refugees and all those who, like those who stood on this spot 400 years ago, come to Virginia in search of a better life.”

So, my suggestion for the day is, if we want to keep seeing the reduction in crime that has been taking place for the past 30 years let's keep giving women access to family planning. That insures that babies will be born to parents who can care for them.

I am somewhat bummed to read about Guatemala's President Jimmy Morales. How many TV stars are in positions of power these days? …Do you think he can be trusted to follow through on this asylum deal you worked out with him?

Did you enjoy spending time with your buddy, WV Gov. Jim Justice (JCJ), yesterday? I had to smile when I read his remarks, "We really are real friends." Apparently, JCJ's $1.9 billion make him the wealthiest person in WV.

…I'm afraid that you got carried away yesterday at that Teen Action Summit and claimed that Article II of the Constitutiongives you the right to do whatever you want. I am sure you didn't exactly mean that, but you gave all of those teens the impression that you are the king. I hope they know enough US history to understand it's that kind of power that our founding fathers were worried about. Next time, please watch what you say…

…I'm sure you'll have a blast at the Teen Student Action Summit today. Those bright-eyed kids remind me of the "Dartmouth Review" crew in Hanover in 1978-1982. It was amazing what a ruckus a few well-funded youngsters can kick up. I have always found it ironic that one of the most heartless of the group has since become a Catholic priest….
