I don’t know what to make of the ad that John H. Tyson (JHT) put in the WP yesterday. I’m afraid he’s playing with fire & could ignite an inferno by calling into question the food supply. Most Americans have never faced food insecurity. As my dad loved to say, Americans enjoy the cheapest food in the world & we take it for granted. Folks will freak out if that changes….
When I googled TMD I was surprised to see a photo of you with him & HDRC in Oct. 2016 laughing together at the Al Smith Dinner for Catholic Charity. ..I encourage you to spend more time with TMD. He’s so diplomatic & exudes generosity, forgiveness & love. We could use more of that kind of presence in our lives.
…I’m excited about the 1 trillion tree campaign! Just remember, it’s not enough to plant the trees, we have to take care of them, too. …According to World Resources Institute it will take the US $4 billion a year to finish the campaign within 20 years. It’s great that you took the first step in that effort yesterday….
It’s Earth Day and my brother’s birthday. Time to celebrate!!! You are welcome to join our family Zoom call at 6:00… He’s the proud owner of a restaurant in Sag Harbor.

She & her buddies held a “funeral for the future in Nov.”…Please Zoom with her so she can convince you that this crisis could bring the new dawn of a clean energy future.

…The media provides stories about how to entertain yourself and how to fill the hours, leaving us with the sense that leisure-time is ample. Well it’s not…..Since it’s hard, we need your encouragement. We need you to start repeating some kind of catchy phrase so we can embrace our confinement. LIBERATE is not it….
…Please be mindful of the fact that 66% of Americans are worried about lifting restrictions too quickly. While you may be happy to see some folks waving their Trump flags and wearing their MAGA hats, their message does not promote the common good or the the general welfare. Please make your mantra, “Compassionate Retreat” & repeat it as often as you can…

…I’m so disappointed that you tweeted about “liberating” VA, MI & MN while mentioning the 2nd Amendment. That is SO ill advised. … it was quite concerning to see 2 guys with AR-15s and bullet proof vests talking about militias. Those guys are itching for a fight & you just gave them license to unleash their pent-up anger with the world. …
It was kind of MI State House 9th District Rep, Karen Whitsett (KW) to come to the WH to thank you for suggesting HDQ. It’s great that she and the other 4 CV survivors could sit in the cabinet room with you and share their stories. … I hope they were all indeed virus-free so you don’t get sick….
… I understand that you tuned into Pastor Robert Jeffress’ Easter service yesterday. Maybe you could help me understand his message that Jesus has paid our debts to God in full.
