My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

            How are you feeling after your late night at the UFC? Were you able to fall asleep right away after watching people twisting arms, choking & throwing opponents on the mat? Do you empathize with the aggressor or the victim? As I imagine watching that kind of violence, I cringe. Are you sure you want to celebrate physical violence? Aren’t you concerned it projects the idea that might makes right?

            I felt better about your visit to Newark when I saw you hugging Kayla Harrison (KJH) after her victory in the octagon. While I’m not a fan of the UFC, I am now a fan of KJH! Without a doubt she’d max out the Athletic Mental Energy scale, especially the tirelessness metric. If they had a resilience scale, she’d have perfect marks on that, too, given her triumph over the sexual abuse she endured. Best of all, she’s helping others with her Fearless Foundation. Please invite her to the WH so she can inspire everyone!

            OoM, whose idea was it to exclude folks from Burma to enter the US? Whoever came up with that plan is not well informed if they think anyone from Burma wants “to do us (the USA) harm.” .” People who leave the country are trying to get away from chaos, not looking to create some. As a reminder, here’s the NYT summary of what they’ve been through, “a military coup, civil war, enforced conscription, aerial bombardment & a devastating earthquake

It’s not too late to take Burma off the travel ban list. Even better would be to get rid of that list all together. It’s totally unnecessary & makes you look mean.

            I hope you find some time for contemplation today. Maybe take a look at Acts 9 for some inspiration.

            BYBS,
