Mattie is Bemused

I didn't weedwhack today, and while I will probably regret it tomorrow when I am doing it...well, maybe it is good I did.  Just tired and off to bed soon.  I have been feeling it a few hours, and I suspect that once I do hit the hay it will soon be repose, which is what I really seem to need.

Seeing all the trade stuff, it does bring credence to the idea that Trump pulled this to confront China, and if it works...well, his genius really does know no bounds.  Certainly the stock market approves of the moves (which indicates again that this was just a negotiating ploy), and if we see more of these trade deals...well, the Trump Administration could use a stretch with good headlines.  Hell, the man got the last US hostage out of Gaza, and now is the time to really light up Hamas, even though we know they will not.  I am sure my liberal friends will be less than pleased when I tell them that man has won yet another quiet victory...

First game of Learned League today.  Six questions to answer, but you assign their point values not on the likelihood that you get them correct, but as to the likelihood that your opponent will.  In other words, if you think they will know it, it's worth zero to them, but if you think it is a triple stumper... it is worth more.  Cool in a way.  We will see what it says about my mental decline...

An isolated John Fetterman clashes with colleagues and staff as he skips his Senate duties
How is he different than Joe Biden?  Or, less politely, are there any Democrats who do not have any mental illness issues/  I mean, yes, they do, they are Democrats, but more seriously, if they can't figure out that the guys deserve to be put on the farm....
