It has occurred to me that there may be a point in the Clown’s pronouncements about tariffs. I think he is trying to manipulate the market for his Masters. Russians? Saudis? Who knows. If anybody but the presidenta did it, it would be illegal. And yet, we’ll just watch and see if Congress reaps monetary benefit from it, won’t we?

I’m much of a not so subtle weather geek. I love a number of sites for their visualizations but one of my faves is Nullschool {and no not my location!}.

I mention this amid the stupidity of defunding NOAA. Nullschool depends on their data. Lots of people like the farmers who grow your increasingly expensive food depend on NOAA. Gotta wonder just how much has to go on before the Magaotts admit the Clown and President Musk are stupid.
