re: Secretary Bessent and the Two Dolls Issue

Dear President Trump:

Treasury Secretary Bessent recently appeared on a FOX News telecast. When asked about the “two dolls” comment and the tariff situation with China, Secretary Bessent responded (transcribed from an online source):

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has a message for a hypothetical little girl worried that she won’t have more than two dolls because of Donald Trump’s disastrous tariff policy.

“I would tell that young girl that you will have a better life than your parents,” Bessent said, during an appearance on Fox News Tuesday night. “That you and your family, thanks to President Trump, can now be confident again that you will have a better life than your parents, which, working-class Americans had abandoned that idea.”

“Your family will own a home, you will be able to advance. You will have a good education, you will have economic freedom,” Bessent continued.

Respectfully, sir: Secretary Bessent is SO out of touch! He’s all like, Blah blah blah, and all the time a "hypothetical little girl” would be thinking: "But my mom had SIXTY MONSTER HIGH DOLLS when she was little, and I only get TWO? How is that a 'better life?'"

The majority — a slim majority, but 55%, so a majority — of political liberals in the United States believe murdering or assassinating President Trump is justified.

If they're willing to kill the President, then the rest of us who don't embrace the liberal ideology (however that might be currently defined) must be less than the dirt beneath their feet and they will think nothing of wiping us out.

So much for the party of kindness and tolerance.

A liberal-leaning DC court judge rules that the Trump administration must RETURN DEPORTED GANG MEMBERS TO THE US.

The Democrat judges have declared war on the American people. 

Fed judge orders deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gangbangers to return to US, blocks Trump from invoking Alien Enemies Act

It comes as Trump made efforts late Saturday to expand the use of the order to deport migrant gang members nationwide.

How about maybe the Administration should declare Federal Judges to be terrorists?

One judge in California apparently has ABSOLUTE CONTROL over the hiring and firing of US government employees.

One San Francisco judge has the authority to rescind federal government Reduction in Force orders nationwide.

One California judge can override the entire federal executive branch and every federal department head and every federal supervisor.

If one judge has that much power and that much authority, then it pretty much PROVES THE POINT that NONE of the federal employees are needed. Just let the one guy do everything.

And yet Democrats say Elon Musk has too much authority.

Pens — the writing kind, not the chicken kind. Zebra Z-Grip or Pilot G2?

When I am at loose ends I sometimes think about purchasing pens or pencils or crayons. I'm in a pen-sive mood at the moment, triggered, I think, by running across a Zebra Z-Grip (black ink) while rummaging around for I don't even remember what. I got distracted by the Z-Grip pen. I wrote an update in my book journal (more about that in a moment) with it. The ink was globby at first but quickly smoothed out. I mean, the ink really smoothed out, in a "gosh, writing with a good pen can be fun" way.

I rummaged around a bit more, and I realized I could probably round up two-hundred random pens here in the house if I put some effort in to it. I found a nearly full box of Bic "Stick" Cristal 1.0mm blue ballpoint pens — probably a lifetime supply of writing instruments right there. I found various promotional pens from doctors and dentists and an animal rehab center. I found a Ziploc bag of Pilot Varsity fountain pens — YAY! I definitely do not need any more pens.

I do not need more pens, but I want more pens. I like pens, they're fun.

Plus, I couldn't find any colored pens. I'm pretty sure I left the few colored pens I still had in Florida last year, along with my package of COPIC Multi-liner pens.

“That ultimately will be determinative if this is interesting or not.”

Relatively speaking, "what can be, unburdened by what has been" is a textbook example of concise clarity.

I see that the EU has been holding meetings in Münich about creating a European army. Did they hold those meeting in a beer hall?

The implementation of tariffs on Canadian imports appears to have been postponed. Canada puts tariffs on most American imports. Huge tariffs in some cases, particularly on dairy products. Seems to me that the "equal tariffs" idea makes sense. Why should the US not implement "protections" while other countries do?

While Canadian Premier Trudeau was blustering and posturing, the Premiers of all the individual Canadian provinces met as a group with the new American administration, bypassing their federal government altogether. Last I heard, both sides said the meetings were "productive" but I have not seen many details.

All of a sudden most of my Canadian online contacts have become hyper-nationalist. Whuuut? I thought nationalism was bad! I guess that's only if the US wants to enforce its national sovereignty. Canadians were all about globalism and peace and unlimited immigration (in to other countries — have you ever looked in to moving to Canada? I have. Basically... you can't!) until about three weeks ago. Now they're all like, "over my dead body!" and loyalty to the flag and stuff.

Who will design the uniforms for the new European army?

Hugo Boss?
