I’m sorry that you are not as excited about Kamala Harris as I am. Sure, I disagree with her about a few things, but you have to admit, it’s really cool to have a woman with light brown skin with immigrant parents from India and Jamaica running for Vice President. Even more exciting is that she could win!…
KC has a 9.6% positive test rate which means that if my daughter encounters 10 people when she goes out, 1 of them is probably infected. When she goes to work at her school, she may be encountering 100 kids a day, 10 of whom will be infected. … Fortunately, the teachers in that region are getting organized to resist efforts to force them back into the classroom.
..I understand that you are headed over to the NJ shore this afternoon to do some more hob-nobbing. I’m sure you’ll be missing your buddy Stanley Cherra as you convene on his estate. … I was fascinated to learn that part of the Jeresy shore is a haven for Syrian Jews, with synagogues, yeshivas & real delis….
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you & AZ Gov Ducey (DAD) today. ... I’d like to help you wrap your heads around the idea that right now the CV positivity in AZ is 18%. …clearly, this is not a good time to open schools unless you’ve decided to give up on stopping the spread of CV.
What great graphs you shared with Jonathan Swan (JS) the other day. I suspect that they were given to you by Dr. Birx (DLB). It’s too bad you had a bit of trouble explaining them. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one to get overwhelmed by all that we have to keep track of these days….I’m sure that DLB could help you understand this if you’d let her back in the WH….
Help me understand your plans for the USPS. …We love our mail carriers. Mine is Julie & when I asked her what I should do about my lost mailbox key, she assured me that if my box was too full, she’d bring my letters to my door. … I know that among the 600,000 postal workers, a few are grumpy, but for the most part they are affable public servants who will make some noise if they are prevented from doing their jobs properly.
…I encourage you to take a look at the sobering article in the LAT today that talks about how ocean front property in Manhattan Beach was stolen from a Black family in 1924. It illustrates how governmental action has prevented the families of formerly enslaved people from acquiring wealth, making it clear that reparations are in order. I hope you’ll start considering how you can share your wealth….
…CW seems like a good guy. He’s an exercise fanatic & talks like a New Yorker. Does everyone in FL do that? He’s proud of the fact that he was an early adopter of body cams. All of his officers wear them, all of the time. I think it’s great that he wants to be as transparent as possible. …I hope you will call him, so he can tell you more about that.
It’s too bad that you had to cut your trip to FL short & will have to skip your visit to Doral. I hope Storm Isaias doesn’t get any more intense. It’s 80 mph winds make it a Cat 1 storm. Perhaps it will stay out at sea & we won’t have to worry about sheltering people in this moment of CV….
…I was sorry to hear that your advocate, Bill Montgomery of Turning Point, died of CV. When you give your condolences to his young protégé, Charlie Kirk, please inform him that wearing a mask does not make you “infect yourself.” He’s a bit confused about the science. You know how that is….
