Cowardly Lyin' Trump today said he would reopen the federal government for three weeks to give negotiations over his Beaded Curtain a chance to work.
I don't want to give Trumpie too much credit for brains but I smell a rat. I cannot give Nancy Pelosi too much credit for brains and know her smeller is better than mine.

SCIENCE: TRUMPIST SCUM SOURCES, CONSUMERS OF FAKE NEWS
Fake news on Twitter during the 2016 U.S. presidential election
Abstract
The spread of fake news on social media became a public concern in the United States after the 2016 presidential election. We examined exposure to and sharing of fake news by registered voters on Twitter and found that engagement with fake news sources was extremely concentrated. Only 1% of individuals accounted for 80% of fake news source exposures, and 0.1% accounted for nearly 80% of fake news sources shared. Individuals most likely to engage with fake news sources were conservative leaning, older, and highly engaged with political news. A cluster of fake news sources shared overlapping audiences on the extreme right, but for people across the political spectrum, most political news exposure still came from mainstream media outlets.

Son (brother) (group text)): No. 150K
Son: The school is free for her :)
Me: $150,000? a free ride?
Mother: She needs to send us a copy of the letter. I have to see it to believe it.
Me: $150,000 here, $150,000 there, pretty soon you're talking real money.
Son (sending screenshot of acceptance letter): Lol parents, IT'S TRUE
Me: I never got offered a dime in scholarships to attend law school. They probably didn't have them back then (Ahem).
Son: Lol dad.
Mother: I am in total shock...
Me: I'm sorry I was reading in my car, saw "more than $150,000" and am now dead.
Mother: We are all beaming.

And it will be NE, who else, vs LAR. "Pats" went zip zip zip in OT and scored the winning TD.
With :08 left in regulation and second and ten from the NE 21 KC kicked a FG. Imo, that was a mistake. A fade route to the back of the end zone would not have taken 8 secs; if the play was there KC would have won the game; if it was not the QB could have tossed it out of the end zone. They then could have kicked the FG with 3-4 secs left. This is not after-the-fact second guessing. It was my immediate reaction to my son. Mistake, imo, certainly in hindsight, but mistake as it happened imo too.

I saw on ESPN that PSU basketball played yesterday and lost to Minnesota. Wanting to experience a little schadenfreude I then got on PennLive, who are all PSU, all the time. There was not a single mention, not even the score. I checked ESPN three times to make sure I got the date correct. I had. In PennLive's drop-down menu there are separate listings for PSU football, of course, Penn State WRESTLING, but not basketball. There is a catch-all, "Penn State Sports." I clicked on that. NOTHING! It is as if PSU basketball does not exist. That is just so weird that I sent an email to the editor.
