- [SecDef's all-leaders meeting. How much did the ego stroking meeting cost?](https://www.verbalprimate.com/secdefs-all-leaders-meeting-how-much-did-the-ego-stroking-meeting-cost-2.md) - John - How much did SecDef's all-leaders meeting cost? Seems like very poor stewardship of our tax dollars. "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” –Mark Twain Sincerely, John

How much did the ego stroking photo op meeting cost?](https://www.verbalprimate.com/secdefs-all-leaders-meeting-how-much-did-the-ego-stroking-photo-op-meeting-cost.md) - Dave - How much did SecDef's all-leaders meeting cost? Seems like very poor stewardship of our tax dollars. "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” –Mark Twain Sincerely, John PS You voted to confirm the current ego soaked and camera poser S…
- [DEA drug prosecutions at lowest levels this century - why is that Ryan?](https://www.verbalprimate.com/dea-drug-prosecutions-at-lowest-levels-this-century-why-is-that-ryan.md) - Dear Ryan - Thought I'd bring it to your attention that DEA drug prosecutions in 2025 so far are lower than any year since 2000. This will hamper reduction in Fentanyl dealing and overdoses. Though the administration has blown up a couple speed boats, this reduction in prosecutions seems bad. Oh an…
- [Wow! The form letter minions were busy in Senator McCormick's office on Friday](https://www.verbalprimate.com/wow-the-form-letter-minions-were-busy-in-senator-mccormicks-office-on-friday.md) - Dear Dave - Thanks for the three letters last Friday. Appreciate, most of all, your commitment to upholding the Constitution, to respecting the rule of law, and to serving the people of Pennsylvania. In your first letter, your response on the Federal deficit seems at odds with the projected additio…
- [Fentanyl overdose is a horrible very bad problem, what more can Ryan Mackenzie do?](https://www.verbalprimate.com/fentanyl-overdose-is-a-horrible-very-bad-problem-what-more-can-ryan-mackenzie-do.md) - Ryan - First thanks for your ongoing interest in stopping Fentanyl addiction and overdoses. Don't think directing DoD to study if they are following existing guidelines or suggesting the State Department engage with other government will make much difference. But seems like a reasonable start. Cyni…
- [Dave McCormick's, one of congress' richest members, gave more tax benefit to the richest and humongously increased federal debt with the big bogus bill.](https://www.verbalprimate.com/dave-mccormicks-one-of-congress-richest-members-gave-more-tax-benefit-to-the-richest-and-humongously-increased-federal-debt-with-the-big-bogus-bill.md) - Dear Dave - Thank you for condemning political violence unequivocally. It is to be condemned. Related to your letter of the September 12th. We'll perhaps agree to disagree. We cannot afford the big bogus bill. According to the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: "The House of R…
- [Congressman Ryan Mackenzie treats me like an idiot](https://www.verbalprimate.com/congressman-ryan-mackenzie-treats-me-like-an-idiot.md) - Dear Ryan: Thanks for your unequivocal denunciation of political violence. It is too common. Your Sept 8 letter to me is insulting. It is a crappy deflection. Similar to the deflection you made about the tariffs. (Refer your concerns to the executive branch.) Other than legislation, one of your pri…
- [Greed and tech or beyond monetizing eyeballs](https://www.verbalprimate.com/greed-and-tech-or-beyond-monetizing-eyeballs.md) - Soundtrack "Groundhog" Bryan Sutton and Billy Strings. From Live at the Legion. What a week for tech According to CNBC, this past week "...the U.S. tech industry’s eight trillion-dollar companies gained a combined $420 billion in market cap, lifting their total value to $21 trillion..." Also, the W…
- [ICE Access to Paragon Spyware - Letter to Fetterman, Mackenzie, McCormick](https://www.verbalprimate.com/ice-access-to-paragon-spyware-letter-to-fetterman-mackenzie-mccormick.md) - Dear Representative - Lots to do this month. Giving Paragon spyware to ICE makes no sense. ICE should obtain a wiretap and court orders like any other law enforcement agency. Epstein situation is a stain. Moving a sexual predator to club Fed is inexcusable. The lack of transparency is untenable. Re…
- [Letter to Marco Rubio - UKR v. RUS](https://www.verbalprimate.com/letter-to-marco-rubio-ukr-v-rus.md) - Dear Marco - Thanks for your efforts to get POTUS a Nobel Peace prize. Some work remains. You, POTUS, and our RUS envoy look like chucklefucks. Remember earlier this year when you said Trump is the only one who can bring that Russian dictator to the table? Ha. This week Portugal's president said PO…
- [Letter to Senator Dave McCormick - AI & DC Economy](https://www.verbalprimate.com/letter-to-senator-dave-mccormick-ai-dc-economy.md) - Dave - Appreciate your efforts to support the Pennsylvania economy. Though maybe your efforts are a bit weighted toward Western Pennsylvania. There is a reasonable probability that the capacity for the hyper-scalar cloud AI firms may not materialize. We have recently seen Microsoft and Amazon reduc…
- [Letter to Senator John Fetterman - Ukraine](https://www.verbalprimate.com/letter-to-senator-john-fetterman-ukraine.md) - August 29, 2025 Dear John, Thanks for your ongoing support for Ukraine. Hosting that murderous, imperialist, and defenestrating despot on US soil was sad. Rolling out the red carpet, ride in the "beast" basically accomplished nothing toward peace - pathetic. JV diplomacy or suspicious ineptitude. O…
- [Letter to Congressman Ryan Mackenzie - Big Bogus Bill](https://www.verbalprimate.com/letter-to-congressman-ryan-mackenzie-big-bogus-bill.md) - August 29, 2025 Dear Ryan, Appreciate you highlighting your "work" on recess - hanging out with first responders and the civil air patrol, a photo opp at electric safety demo, and a meeting with our dwindling supply of Lehigh Valley farmers. You look happy, tan, and well rested. Life in US Congress…
