My Dear Friend & POTUS, JRB,

            I feel you!

I forget dates & names all the time. I can’t retrieve words & talk haltingly. I get distracted when I’m doing a task. According to today’s WP, it’s necessary to forget stuff. They suggest, “Our brain processes incalculable amounts of information at a given time, & there’s simply not room for all of it to be stored… As new memories are created, the brain must prioritize important memories, making it more difficult to recall less important details or events.”

            Clearly, special counsel Robert K. Hur overstepped in the way he characterized your case, but best to let it go. Don’t get angry about it. That just makes you sound defensive.

            Focus on the important stuff – like persuading Bibi that it’s time to stop bombing Gaza & convincing VOZ that he should speak with VVP.

            The SCOTUS may hand you a victory if they rule that women should not have access to mifepristone. The electorate will be electrified.

            In the meantime, keep working on projects like the HBCU CHIPS Network. Be loud & proud about your investment in STEM ed in the HBCUs.

            I hope you remembered to bring up Burma with Ch Olaf Scholz yesterday.

            BYBS,
