Thank you for visiting and perusing The Biden Letters, a new set of musings, rants, suggestions, and loving-kindness prayers in letter form that follows and builds on the correspondence I sent daily to President Trump for much of his time in office. Those letters are archived at Daily Trump Letters. If our miserable time with …
Thank you for your service
Dear President Biden, I hope your inbox has been flooded with well wishes, congratulations, and thank you’s today and that the flood doesn’t let up any time soon. I know you and Vice President Harris will be tested and challenged in ways we can’t anticipate at this point, but having reasonable, caring, logical, service-oriented people …
Loving-kindness meditation for a new era
Dear President Biden, It was a tiny thing that took less than two or three seconds, but it was immensely satisfying just now to move the final mega-document containing my copies of the letters to President Trump off of my desktop screen and into the “Blog Materials” folder where I keep all the stuff related …
Cookies and conspiracies
Dear President Biden, I sure hope you’re holding up ok and that you’re taking some breaks, getting some exercise, eating well and all that good stuff because the job(sssssss….) before you are massive. I imagine that long ago you mastered the art of balancing self-care with full-on service, but just in case you need a …
Advocating accountability
Dear President Biden, There’s so much to do and it’s not looking like the Senate is will be online for business any time soon. This is obviously beyond frustrating – really, it’s life and death for so many of US given the current situation with the pandemic and the horrible economic conditions. I don’t actually …
Doughnut economics, Seventh Generation decision-making, and an obscure Executive Order
Dear President Biden, Last night while Laura and our daughter were watching Ozark (I’m pretty tender so the violence is too much for me) I happened to read two articles back-to-back and the inadvertent pairing felt incredibly serendipitous. The first is a Time magazine article that was at the top of my Pocket offerings (those …
Coming soon….. just what the nurse ordered
Dear President Biden, I just read the very sweet piece in the WP about how your caravan stopped at Call Your Mother for bagels after church this past Sunday .

North Star vs. Death Star
Dear President Biden, It makes sense to me that you’re staying in your lane and not interfering or trying to influence (at least not overtly) either the DOJ or Congress when it comes to which of the various malicious actors to hold accountable for what aspect(s) of the January 6th attempted self-coup. After the norm-shattering …
Let’s stop with the unity B.S.
Dear President Biden, How are you holding up? I hope you’re able to play with the dogs some, have dinner most nights with Jill, and actually sleep for decent stretches. I know you’ve been at the political game for a long, long time so surely you’ve figured out how to take decent care of yourself, …
In the wake of trauma
Dear President Biden, Have you had a chance to talk with any of the Congress people who were inside the Capitol on January 6th during the attempted self-coup? I’m guessing you’ve made a point to touch base with at least some of them since you seem like the kind of person who would want to …
