National Today
Though the origin of National Smoke and Mirrors Day, March 29, is unknown, it most likely is intended both to promote appreciation of the art and skill of magicians who specialize in illusions and to remind us all to be wary of deceptive practices in daily life. Today, “smoke and mirrors” usually means that we’re being hoodwinked into believing something is true or that it is functional when it really isn’t. It’s a reminder that unlike Dorothy, we shouldn’t wait until the end to pull back the curtain to see if what we thought is real is actually masterful fakery. More

Hey Charlie, Noem dove head first into a wood chipper on this issue. She can still (maybe) rehabilitate her image and her chances for future office but you have to wonder how she got this so wrong. She is about as popular is Andrew Cuomo right now.
Except when you combine smoke and mirrors, you get smokey mirrors that don’t work.
