My Dear Friend & POTUS, JRB,

            We have altered our routine this AM to prepare for a visit from one of our former foster dogs, Tabs2. She’s been in the system for a while because she has anxiety issues & howls when her Alpha is away for more than a few minutes. Otherwise, she’s fun to have around.

            She has some meds which I hope help her endure the hour that I will be visiting with Friends at the Meeting House.

            She will arrive any minute so I will cut to the chase with my suggestions for the day.

1)    Read “Why foreign policy is no longer in Biden’s ‘win’ column” in today’s CSM” where you will encounter the unsettling analysis that “both Ukraine & the war in Gaza are contributing to a patina of failure” for your administration. Perhaps it will help you take a new tack & embrace our mantra, WINTA. As one of my Friends in Yangon Meeting said last night, “THERE IS NO MILITARY SOLUTION.”

2)    Find out what’s up with Sec of Defense Lloyd Austin (LJA3). It’s shocking that a guy who has spent his life in the military, which insists on knowing where every person is at every moment, failed to alert you about his hospital stay. How could LJA3 imagine that he could sneak off for some kind of procedure & no one would notice?

3)    Keep an eye on Burma. The situation there is rapidly changing & an opportunity for positive change may present itself. Please be ready to jump on it.

BYBS,
