Opus 2025-544: Click Bait: Those Nasty Republicans

The click bait presented by my browser said something to the effect that the Republican plan for redistricting could backfire.  The picture called for no more gerrymandering.  As I kept looking I noticed that the story came from the New York Times.  Well, duh.  I think I can assume that the gerrymandering going on in California would not be mentioned or, if it is, it will be on page 20 in small type.

I keep wondering if anyone reads these DNC mouthpieces.  Then I realize how all the polls show almost half of the country are still unhappy with Trump.  On Thanksgiving we shared with our son-in-law the recording of the woman who called in because she wondered why they were putting all the deer crossings in heavy traffic areas.  Why not put those signs somewhere that it would be safer for the deer to cross?  

The recording went viral on the internet and somehow in the process people got her telephone number and e-mail.  I don’t know how long it took for her to figure it out.  There is a follow up recording where she called back in.  She was a good sport about it.  I guess she felt pretty dumb.  What was interesting was in the discussion it came out she was some kind of medical professional.  She was either a doctor or a  nurse.

What do you do when even the highly educated medical people can’t think?

  1. I continue to wonder how our society birthed and educated so many literally stupid young folks?

    1. It is a mystery. I think that it comes down to the statement in Proverbs that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. That has been left out of education, most families and now most churches.
