Abe Lincoln on the 13th Amendment: That's why I'd like to get the 13th Amendment through the House, on its way to ratification by the states. Wrap the whole slavery thing up, forever and aye, as soon as I'm able ... And I'd like you to stand behind me.

The words of Jesus Christ in the New Testament reveal that he cared for people, not corporations; tried to help others, not destroy or denigrate them; and care for migrants like his father, mother, and himself.

Nothing like evangelicals:

Jill Biden is a classy lady in every respect who has been a tribute to America. She is an outstanding educator and wonderful mother and grandmother.

None of the Pelosi's could be described as classy.

Biden made mistakes, but saved the party and the country in 2020. He is not an American tragedy.

Bill Clinton is because of Monica led to W Bush winning in 2000.

We have to face it.

Why was he not hired? "[A] 64-year-old electrical engineer in Florida, said a manager at work told him he’d been denied a promotion because the company needed to elevate more women and people of color."

This is age discrimination: 64 years old.

Not the problem:

One of the blessings of my life is that I was taught to read at a very young age -- and could read well by the time I entered first grade.

In my late 70s, I still do. However, those who voted for a convicted felon think reading is a joke.

The uneducated party.

Merrick Garland has been the worst Democratic AG in history ... or at least in my recollection.

He has never released the complete Mueller Report, dilly dallied too long with filling the criminal charges on Jan. 6.

Joe Biden most horrible mistake.
