   Does anyone know if, now that Moscow Mitch is no longer the majority leader, will those dozens of bills passed by the House be brought up for votes in the Senate?

   40 years?!? Quote by Harry Truman: “Democrats work to help people who need help. That other party, they work for people who don’t need help. That’s all there is to it.”

   They are very good at “critical thinking” if that means thinking of ways to be critical of Democrats.The most brainwashed people in this country are the ones that claim anyone disagreeing with them are “brainwashed by the liberal media.” Of course, these people have never read/listened to “liberal media.” They simply repeat what their brainwashers tell them.

   Kennedy/Johnson had a lot to do with the current political landscape. They were Democrats and initiated and enforced de-segregation in the South. this infuriated the Dems in the South so much they changed parties. That’s why now the Republicans, especially in the south, are so far from what they used to be.

   Which is exactly what Christ commanded. Yet, the people that so loudly proclaim their “Christianity” are the very ones that not only violate that dictum, but dismiss the attitude as a weakness called political correctness. Trump’s blatant violation of that standard is one of the things his base loves about him…the same base that proclaim their “Christianity.”

   Part of the difference is what is called colonial lag (IIRC). The colonies tend to hang on to the language as-is while the language advances as it has always done back in the original land. We can understand Shakespeare now better than the Brits can because of this lag. Of course, both the “old country” and the “colonies” have changes in their language unrelated to each other due to influence of other cultures and languages. Also, human speech tends to be lazy. All those spellings with silent letters (night, knife, like) used to have those letters pronounced but over the decades/centuries the sound was dropped. It’s easily seen in modern America English: wannabe, gotta, whatcha. Brits drop consonants, Americans run words together.

   Back in the 60’s my father worked for Martin-Marietta in Denver as a draftsman designing missile silos. When the current contract was filled, M-M laid him off along with many others. this was SOP then. But his boss said there was an opening in the other plant way out on the west end of Denver. His boss said, “We need an engineer there George. I suppose you’ve got your engineering degree.” Dad answered honestly: “Engineering degree? I didn’t even finish high school.”Some months later he got a job with another company doing etchings. Pay was maybe half or less of what he was getting at M-M. But they made him get his GED to be hired.
