…I must express my profound disappointment that you did not stay the execution of Brandon Bernard. I’m sure that Kim Kardashian has been in touch with you to provide the details of the case, making it clear that his crime did not warrant execution…

... rather than rile yourself up by meeting with 17 AGs today to talk about the long shot court case, I encourage you to see what you can do to help STM get the stimulus bill figured out. Helping will heal you….

“We are still waiting for 4 students to join us.” My heart is singing as I hear my daughter cheering on her 7th grade math students to participate in a “quiz” on Zoom. She’s perfected the art of narrating activity which teachers have to do these days….

…You win some. You lose some. That’s the way of the world, right? Even your buddy, wrestler, Dan Gable, who got the Medal of Freedom yesterday, lost at least once or twice. As you said, he’s a GOAT, “greatest of all time” & even he acknowledges that “no place is perfect.”…

Have you seen the funny 2020 Christmas ornaments being advertised in the NY Post? They are custom made so you can get the names of loved ones on each of the mask-covered faces... You could get one for the tree in the Blue room….

…. It really troubles me to see the way that you are treating GA Gov Brian Kemp (BPK). The poor guy is grieving & he’s trying to do the right thing. Mishan writes that scapegoats, “relieve the condemners of the burden of wrestling with their own wrongs.” Is that why you are being so hard on BPK?…

…I missed the arrival of the WH Christmas tree, a beautiful Fraser Fir from Dan & Bryan’s trees in Shepherdstown WV . Today I found out that it arrived before Thanksgiving, & is now up in the Blue Room covered in ornaments made by the children of America to represent something special about their state….

….I was excited to read about Nse Ufot’s efforts to “Twitch the Vote.” She’s got a couple of more days before the deadline so I’m sure they have all hands on deck at the New GA Project. She’s registering kids who are turning 18 this month so they can vote in the runoff….

Are you ready for your Medal of Freedom ceremony with Lou Holtz (LLH)?… As you know, he is famous for turning pretenders into contenders. His book, “Wins, Losses & Lessons” might be instructive to you. One of his basic principles when working with players is to teach them to be unselfish….

I have a song in my head – Lynn Anderson’s “I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden…” I’ve got pardons on my mind because you are thinking about giving them to yourself, RWLG, Jared & your kids. I am wondering what you all might need to be pardoned for….

…The CSM suggests that you could be leaving political hand grenades for the next administration. I’m afraid that’s misguided. JRB is the most experienced politician to ever enter the WH. So, giving him a bunch of problems to solve will make him look brilliant. Are you sure you want that?

…I encourage you to look to 2021 as a time of renewal. Barbara Fredrickson recommends loving-kindness meditation as a way to “outpace the effects of the hedonic treadmill.” It will enable you to stop “dwelling on the negative aspects of events.” I hope you can let go of your exasperation about your loss to JRB & be grateful for the time you had in the WH.

Did you have a nice time with your grandkids at Camp David? It looks like Joseph & Arabella enjoyed your company on their walk from the helicopter to the WH. Theodore was lagging. Is he struggling? Being the middle child can be challenging, but you know all about that….

…Over the years, I’ve encouraged you you to improve our bridges, dams, roads & pipes. Now’s the time to get busy with those projects. Doing so would be a great way to show the pundits that you haven’t given up on governing….

…I urge you to correct a misstatement in your proclamation, which noted, “The Mayflower’s arrival to the New World in 1620 marks the arrival of the first seeds of democracy to our land.” Your writers neglected to consider the Iroquois Confederacy, founded by the Great Peacemaker in 1142, to unite Six Nations as the Haudenosaunee….
