My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

Did you notice that I missed our letter yesterday? I had to go to the endontist because my dentist thought I needed a root canal. Luckily, she was wrong. Her misdiagnosis cost me $350 & a couple of hours. Oh well, world not perfect.

I doubt that you missed our letter. That’s ok, you are an important person with lots on your mind. 

SoW, what is top of mind for you today? Since it’s Veteran’s Day, I hope that you prioritize making peace. 

Conflict resolution opportunities abound! The Uppsala Conflict Data Program recorded 65 armed conflicts involving states in 2025, the most since its records begin in 1946. A good place to rejuvenate your peacemaking efforts would be in Burma. Of course, I’m sure you’d continue to work on finding a way out of Iran & ending the Gaza situation. 

Speaking of wars, I was encouraged to see that VOZ & Marco Rubio thought the trilateral talks that just ended in Abu Dhabi were constructive. Exchanging POWs is a good starting point & having "a little bit of flexibility" on the issue of who would control Ukraine's eastern regions in a postwar scenario suggests some willingness to compromise. Yeah!

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of our veterans especially regarding finding homes for those living “rough.” Since you are such a whiz at construction, please light a fire under the VA to get busy on the project to build the 1200 promised units on the West L.A. campus. It’s gotten bogged down with law suits & such. Meanwhile folks with PTSD have to deal with life on the streets.

As you head off to Arlington Cemetery today, I encourage you to wear both a red & white poppy on your lapel.  I’m sure you’re familiar with the red one that honors those who died in battle, but you may not know about the white one that signifies the hope that we never have another war. Wearing it will show your commitment to peace.

BYBS,

RCA
