My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

            It’s a miracle! My computer started. Recent restarts have failed due to a change in Kerebos password. Uploading upgrades required the dreaded reboot. Are our systems failing more frequently these days?

            Speaking of that kind of thing, folks are so frazzled now-a-days that they are blaming every hiccup on you. My daughter is worried about flying because she believes recent plane incidents are due to FAA cutbacks. Should I be worried about my upcoming flight to NYC?

            What’s up with your attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport folks reputed to be in Tren de Aragua? FDR’s use of that Act to jail Japanese-Americans has been a blemish on his legacy. You don’t want that kind of blemish on yours, do you? Best to be patient & let the courts decide if the Venezuelans (V) need to exit the country.

            Speaking of V, the G suggests that Erik Prince (EDP) would like to stir up trouble there. Best to ignore him! A truly effective mercenary likes to keep a low profile so he can do his dirty business without anyone knowing.  EDP is more of a showman who likes war. Since you & I both know, WINTA, best to keep your distance from him.

            What are your thoughts on the CIA? I know you have doubts about the FBI, but I haven’t heard about the CIA recently. Is DOGE going after it? Before it does so, take a look at the piece in the CSM about how Israel’s intelligence believed their high-tech gadgets over the info they were getting from people on the ground. I suspect a gender dynamic might have been at play, since the intel came from “a noncommissioned female officer” in 2022 & later “a unit of female ‘spotter’ soldiers.” The article emphasizes that humans need to be in the mix of keeping track of enemies, especially humans who understand the culture, language & motives of the adversary. Bottom line, you do not want “haters” collecting your intel.

            Did you see the beautiful pictures of Burma published in today’s AP? They show young girls participating in the special rite of passage where Buddhist children become monks for a while. They get their heads shaved & put on robes as they emerge from the security of their family to join their age mates in society.

The display of wealth coming from a country riddled by poverty & displacement is somewhat jarring, as are the looks of trepidation on some of the children’s faces, but the colors are beautiful & the spectacle intriguing.

Such is the mystery of life! Beauty amidst the ashes.

BYBS,
