I suspect her degree is a PsyD, not a PhD.

I’d contend that John Galt III’s inability to grok* my comment without having someone explain it to him says way more about John Galt III than it does about me.

Apparently I’m not the only one we should be grateful isn’t in Congress.

*reference to Heinlein, not the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

How would Trump do on that question?

John Galt III, I read Sailorcurt’s comment as humor. He knows full well that California is in the US. His comment is another version of the saying in the 1960s that the US was tilted, and all the nuts rolled down to California. (My LA cousin, whose parents moved to California circa 1940, would agree with those who cast California as a foreign country. )

I don’t really expect Californians to know anything about America.”

I am reminded of a friend of my LA cousin, who thought that Connecticut was near Wisconsin.

I’ll go out on a limb here and surmise that she’d likely claim, asaChu, to far prefer looking forwards rather than back, while fervently insisting that since she is working feverishly—and selflessly—to destroy her state and her country, she has no time to waste on just another DWM…not her precious time, anyway…even if the DWM in question was supposedly a “Progressive”…

OMMV…

Sailorcurt appears as capable of reading the article above as Madame Chu is of knowing anything about American history.

From the article:

“Chu was born in Los Angeles as the second of four children to May Lin and Judson Chu. ”

We are happy Sailorcurt is not in Comgress.

Keith said:

“Ignorance of history is not just a specialty of the left. I will say no more.”

You are correct, but people having the combinaton of advanced degrees and older than 65 have a very good understabnding of American history – the highest demograohic according to Pew Resaerch,

Madame Chu is in that category and she is in Congress. We would expect more of them.

Then again Sheila Jackson Lee from Houston went into the NASA facility there wanting to see a picture of the flag that Neil Armstrong had planted on Mars.

Sailorcurt: I see what you did there!

I saw an interesting take on Bessent recently: he worked for George Soros when Soros broke the Bank of England. The writer wonders if he is not working to break the economy of China in a similar fashion. Interesting thought. I wish him well.

Ask 1000 college kids who was Woodrow Wilson , and do not be surprised if most of them would have no idea who he was .
Ask them when did WWI take place; most would not know.
Ask them which nation was the enemy during WW1 ; most would not know.

A great book to read; “All Quiet on the Western Front,” and also watch the movie based on the book .
