Thoughts for the day

A nice warm day with high clouds. No Precipitation in the forecast.

Confused more than ever: HHS fired many and some where mistakes, according to
Sec of HHS…RFK, Jr. He said they would be reinstated. Then HHS office said they have no plans to reinstate anyone. Then the tariffs: 165% tariff on anything Chinese, then later in the day, except for electronics. It is time for Congress to recognize the chaos of their dear leader and put an end to it.

Bill Maher of Real Time was invited to the White House for dinner. He now believes that Trump just acts crazy when he has a huge audience. Maher says he was normal during the visit. I guess I can hope that is true.

It is interesting that the Sec. of Education talk at a meeting about the greatness of A1…that is a steak sauce. She meant A.I….artificial intelligence. She sure has that education thing down pat.
