mcgeo52 comments on Apr 14, 2019:

The G.I. Bill after WWII was basically free college for all who had served. I would consider that a large enough sample to be statistically significant in responding to your post. There were no limits on personal choice as long as the money was spent at a legitimate school. My father graduated with a degree in Sociology and went on to become one of the top engineers in the microelectronics field. A friend of the family majored in Psychology and went on to become the President of a University and then a member of the Texas Railroad Commission (you may not find that impressive, but they set the price for West Texas crude and have a huge impact on the world's economy). I have another friend who got a B.S. (I believe in Chemistry) and became a professional musician. But the real bottom line was that the value all the people who benefited directly from the G.I. Bill added to society because of their educations was one of the driving factors in the growth of the US economy in the '50s, '60s, and '70s.

Rettig asking for the individual income returns of Trump for tax years 2013 through 2018. Per 26 USC 6103: ( f ) **Disclosure to Committees of Congress** ( 1 ) **Committee on Ways and Means, Committee on Finance, and Joint Committee on Taxation** Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, **the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request**, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.

I'm no expert on Canadian law, but here in the U.S. if someone wins a fair election to a seat in the House they are deserving of that seat. The fact that you disagree with the words that you put in Ilhan Omar's mouth does not change that. She is not ant-Jew. She is anti-AIPAC. I have a number of Jewish friends who disagree with AIPAC. An even larger number of them strongly disagree with the policies of the criminal currently serving as Prime Minister of Israel. That does not make any of them anti-Jew. BTW, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is something that Muslims are just as entitled to as you are. Deal with it.

mcgeo52 comments on Mar 13, 2019:

What McConnell is doing is not violating any law, or even any rule in the Senate. So it is not illegal. Should he be removed? The people of Kentucky will have the final say on that question (unless Robert Mueller or some other investigator turns up proof of McConnell's rumored illegal actions). Te good news is that his popularity in his home state is at an all time low, and the tax bill will have it dropping even more by November of next year. Having said that, I would like to add that I am beginning to think that Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump both suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome. One of the symptoms is the inability to understand consequences. McConnell has more than amply demonstrated that he has no regard for principles and established order. That can only arise in a situation where someone has no appreciation of the consequences of his actions.

For me... assassination of JFK.

mcgeo52 comments on Mar 11, 2019:

Sputnik. But for those who said the JFK assassination, here are my personal memories of that: I was living in Dallas, Texas on November 22,1963 and was in sixth grade at L. O.Donald Elementary School. My memories actually begin a few days before when the Dallas Independent School District announced that the only excused absences to go see the President would go to students who had a note saying that they were being accompanied by their parent. The announcement made it very clear that going to see the President with a legal guardian would not qualify as an excused absence. Even as a sixth grader I found this suspicious. There was only one student from my class who went to the parade. On the 22nd I arrived at school as usual approximately a half hour before my first class. I was a flag monitor.That means that I had the responsibility of raising the flags (American and Texas) on the pole in front of the school each morning and lowering them each afternoon. That was the windiest day of the school year. Larry Howell, the other monitor and my good friend since before first grade, and I had no problem getting the flags to the top of the pole, but the wind was blowing so hard that we could not pull the rope down enough to wrap around the cleat properly. We had to call Gary McFarland, a 7th grade Safety Patrol over for help, and he only managed to get the rope around the cleat by employing the 2” long 1” diameter dowel that was the handle of his Safety Patrol flag. After lunch I went to my fourth period math class in the southwest corner of the second floor. Sitting I the front corner by the door, I could not see the flag,but the students in the far corner of the room could, and they started giving me a hard time about what a bad job we had done that morning putting the flag up, since it was at least a flag’s height from the top of the pole. I distinctly remembered otherwise, just how high and tight it was. After walking across to the window and seeing what they were talking about, I told Mr. Owens, the teacher that I needed to go down and fix the problem. He said that I should go the office first and ask them about it. I thought this was a little strange, but I did as I was told. The secretary in the office asked why I was there and then disappeared for about a minute into the Principal’s office. She came back out and told me I should go back to class. About five minutes before the end of class I got called down to the office. I was taken into the Principal’s office. Mr. Breeding, the Principal, told me that the problem with the flag was that they had attempted to lower it to half-mast because the President and the Governor had been shot. He then told me that the President was dead but that, thankfully the Governor was still alive, ...

mcgeo52 comments on Mar 8, 2019:

I would be wiling to testify as an expert witness that this is a fake. I have worked in graphic arts for decades, including four years testing Raster Image Processors for laser printers. I once failed a driver because the 7 in the Garamond font was a Times New Roman 7. That level of expertise explains why I was working for some of the top companies in the industry, including Kodak and Canon. I base my conclusion that this is a fake on two points: 1) While almost all the fonts we see today are proportionate, they were nigh unto non-existent in the mid 1960s. 2) Also, in the mid 1960s this would have been printed with a computer line printer, or typed on a typewriter, either of which would have used a ribbon. The print on this is so clean that it could only have been produced on a laser printer, or an inkjet printer; those technologies would not be available until the mid 1980s. Since I have mentioned dates, I will note that someone else has pointed out that any report card should have at least a semester and year on it. And it has also been pointed out that the "ENG 102 LITERATURE" is completely inconsistent with the course numbering found in Fordham's 1964-65 catalog. In short, this is a very obvious fake.
