…So how are you feeling about Kellyanne’s (KEC) resignation? My gut tells me she decided to choose her family & husband over your reelection. I smiled when I read her “less drama, more mama” rationale. It does make some sense that she wants to be around when her “teens & tweens” are doing their on-line learning….
…As I have mentioned before our siblings know us better than anyone & our rivalries for our parents’ affections can sometimes set us against each other. It sounds like you & Robert got past that. It’s too bad that some of that enmity remains with Maryanne. I hope you can repair your rift with her….
…I am feeling grateful after listening to a snippet of NV Sen. Jacky Rosen questioning the Post Master General about the analysis he did to decide to radically change USPS operations. She wanted to make sure that he had considered the cost to elderly folks when their prescriptions, social security checks & bills are slow in coming. She wanted to see some data & requested transparency….
…CQB is a special man & I hope you spend some time with him. He is eager to address systemic racism, but has the humility to acknowledge that he doesn’t have all the answers. He hopes to have the “wisdom & knowledge to lead & participate in necessary conversations about diversity & inclusion” so he can listen….
…I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that you said, “Women dominate the United States. I think we can say that very strongly.” I’m not sure what to make of that statement. Does that mean you are afraid of women? Does that mean you are in awe of women? Or were you just saying that to make the folks in the room happy?…
..Maybe this emphasis on jobs, jobs, jobs needs to be reconsidered. WI is currently down 16,000 manufacturing jobs from when you took office. … Places like the Verso mill in WI Rapids just shut down & it doesn’t look like anyone is too interested in continuing to use the glossy paper that they produced. Perhaps if we funded the USPS & gave some kind of discount to deliver magazines, we could get that paper mill up & running again….

I was so sorry to her about your brother’s passing.. Losing a sib means losing some family history – those memories of moments, both good & bad, which have shaped us into the people we are. Our sibs are some of the few people who can be entirely honest with us. We all need that reality check from time to time….
I am confused. I thought that Republicans were in favor of local control – keep the government small, give people as much freedom as possible. That’s what my dad and grandmother always said. So, help me understand why the federal & state governments are trying to tell local school boards how to operate….
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….
