Happy Presidents‘ Day* to those who celebrate.

Some good ones who must be looking on in horror at what we‘ve become, and some bad ones who must be patting themselves on the back for their part in getting us here.

IMHO part of the job of President is respecting the people who work for you. ALL of them. In this time of “narratives over facts,” starting tomorrow I‘ll share a few narratives about my experience as a #longtimefed employee.

Susanita * The holiday is officially Washington‘s Birthday on the federal level. It‘s a little awkward, however, to wish someone a happy…someone else‘s birthday. By the way, we do NOT need an additional holiday for a certain someone‘s birthday. What is wrong with these people? 6d
Tamra That‘s a question without an answer. 😑 6d

#12BooksOf2024 #ChurchillInTheWhiteHouse #RobertSchmuhl #December2024

Winston Churchill visited the White House many times during his two terms as prime minister. He met with FDR and Dwight D. Eisenhower and shaped American foreign policy during the Second World War. He arrived after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He had a great relationship with FDR but not so much with Eisenhower.

EadieB I really did enjoy this book and reading about Churchill. Never knew that he came about fifteen times and stayed in the Rose Room at the White House. He also went a couple of times to Canada and met with the prime minister there. If you like history books then you will love this book. Highly recommended! 2mo
Andrew65 This looks a must read.
