Dear President Eisenhower:
I am writing this letter in the week of your inauguration to the great dignity which our people have bestowed on you. By the time you are permitted to read this letter, the ceremonies of inauguration will be completed and you will be President Eisenhower, indeed.
I am writing to you as a Roman Catholic priest, living in the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am the Superior of a little American Catholic Religious Order, recently founded, and called The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I promise to Your Excellency, as President of our great nation, my respect, my allegiance, and my loyalty — in all the things which God has permitted to be put under your charge, which are many indeed, and are endowed with God’s own authority to the extent to which He...

Dear Sen. Snowe:
I am not horribly surprised that you finally fell in step with the artificial health-care panic incited by President Obama and the Democrat party. You teased me and all conservatives there a bit, Senator, giving us the illusion of resilience and actual thoughtfulness on the topic. Alas, you once again let down the GOP and a majority of the American people.
In voting yes for ObamaCare, you are voting to kill Medicare and slash health care benefits for senior citizens, and worse. Thanks to your support, Americans are now one step closer to losing our very bodies to a government take-over. When Americans cannot make their own health care decisions with their providers anymore, we might as well be called slaves.
The economic tricks that appear to make this plan revenue-...

Dear Mr. Putin,
It is very odd to write you, but you have been a sane presence in a world the Western elite is tearing apart, and I am so deeply grateful. I am writing now because I have children and grandchildren and I am desperate to find a way to stop the global elites' plan for mass murder here. One night I thought there would be hope if only the truth could be spoken above the barrage of US and global media lies. And then I thought of you, who has done exactly that at least twice, quietly delivered truths that stopped mass murder.
Many Americans were grateful for your actions in stopping a war against Syria wanted to much by the US, in your simply asking for proof of who had the weapons and asking about having authorities go into Syria to check.
We also have seen your...

Dear Sir Paul,
Thanks. But no thanks.
It’s charming that a native of the nation — nay, globe-spanning culinary empire — that gave the planet eel pie, jellied pig’s head and at least a half-dozen authentic expatriate English restaurants feels comfortable telling Americans what we ought to be ingesting on our best-loved national holiday.
But — forgo our traditional Thanksgiving turkeys? While we’re at it, should we turn off the Dallas Cowboys game and turn on the Manchester United match instead? Does Man U have cheerleaders? Do they wear high-heeled boots?
Look, we don’t doubt your sincerity. You wrote “Hey, Jude,” for Pete’s sake. You co-wrote “The Meat Free Monday Cookbook,” which sounds like a great way to make the lamest day of the week even more of a drag. Your last wedding...

Your Honor,
I just watched your interview on Fox News which aired on October 11, 2013. You also mentioned you don’t read negative mail, so my guess is you may never see this…however my hope is that many will be educated regardless.
First of all my love goes out to your daughter-in-law with Lupus. As you rightly stated, some days I’m sure she can get out of bed and go about her day and others it’s debilitating.
Debilitating was the word you used, not me.
Then you went on to say how (and I’m paraphrasing) we’ve created a society where drug addicts and those with bad backs and those like your daughter-in-law are told ‘not to worry, if you can’t take of yourself we’ll take care of you.’
Apparently in the world of personal responsibility and your new book that you are shilling, you...

Dearest Tamir,
America has failed you, yet again. This nation gorges on our flesh, and yet it is never satiated. Your mother’s wails could not wake democracy from its deep slumber. And we cannot protect you, not from a brutal and lonely death, not from vilification, not from the exoneration of your murderers. We are powerless, and we mourn. It must seem the case that our people are insane. We march and march and keep marching, getting the same results but forever expecting America to be different.
So we must change. Law and order—a whip and a gun— can be our only expectation and unreasonable the force that will be used on our flesh. You were the burnt offering for America’s second sin. What are we to believe of a nation that claims its right to exist on stolen land?
In...

Dear American Women,
I am sorry you were born as females in the west. Because of the toxic culture you’ve been marinated in you will never fully appreciate just how fortunate you are to have been afforded the privileged lives you enjoy. None of this is your fault, of course. Whether you like it or not, third-wave feminism is to blame and it has quite literally stolen any chance you have for true happiness as a woman.
From an early age you will be told that you are princesses and deserve the best of everything simply because you were born with vaginas. There is some truth to this, but not for the reason you’ve been raised to believe.
You see, you could be princesses and eventually even someone’s queen worthy of the utmost respect. The truth is, you are more valuable than men from...

Dear Chairwoman Janet Yellen:
We are a group of humble savers in traditional bank savings and money market accounts who are frustrated because, like millions of other Americans over the past six years, we are getting near zero interest. We want to know why the Federal Reserve, funded and heavily run by the banks, is keeping interest rates so low that we receive virtually no income for our hard-earned savings while the Fed lets the big banks borrow money for virtually no interest. It doesn't seem fair to put the burden of your Federal Reserve's monetary policies on the backs of those Americans who are the least positioned to demand fair play.
We follow the reporting on your tediously over-dramatic indecision as to when interest rates will be raised - and no one thinks that when you...

Dear Jane Doe*,
I’ve known about you ever since you wrote that moving letter to Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, pleading for your release. It marked your one-month anniversary being forcefully held in an adult prison by Commissioner Joette Katz without a crime committed or charges filed. Since then, 22 more days have passed and you — a 16-year-old trans girl of color– are still in prison.
I want you to know that anniversaries are not supposed to be marked in this way, with a teenage girl pleading for her own freedom. You’re supposed to celebrate anniversaries with your beloveds sharing cake and laughs. Not behind bars spending 22 hours a day by yourself, with the screams and cries of adult prisoners as your only soundtrack. But, from what I’ve tearfully read in your...

Dear gentlemen,
Terribly bad luck on your early exit from your own World Cup, old beans. It's a shame. You brought something a bit different to the party with your 1980s style of play and that intoxicating mix of over-confidence and under-performance.
I thought you might like to know where you went wrong and how you can avoid a repeat in Japan in 2019. Indeed, how you can be one of the title favourites. It's quite simple, really.
1. Sack Stuart Lancaster. Immediately. If he hasn't fallen on his sword after a mighty win against the Uruguay Amateur XV overnight, throw him on it. Then jump up and down on him. He has done a sterling job in turning 2011's dwarf-tossers (you can actually delete the "dwarf" part) into polite, well-behaved young men. But they're still ordinary at rugby....
