His books are not actually used in many schools, though kids would learn more actual history if they were. The three major history publishers are Pearson, Glencoe McGraw-Hill, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. I don’t know the market share of each, but I suspect that together they have 85-90% of the school market, with a few smaller and online publishers having the rest. They all definitely present history from the white perspective, so as usual Trump doesn’t have a clue what is really happening in schools. Nor does whoever wrote that speech for him.

I did a couple of years teaching U.S. History along with journalism classes at a high school in suburban Denver in the mid-1990s. I slipped Zinn's "People's History of the U.S." into the syllabus, and then even told the parents about it at back-to-school night. Not a word of protest. Those were different times.

I will say someone picked a shade closer to an actual flesh tone, albeit a little too far toward the "zombie" end of the palette.

I was reminded of when we watched the television show "Mission: Impossible" in the late 1960s to early '70s. Based upon that, I am not sure that was actually Donald Trump.

If he had to take a field sobriety test, he would fail miserably.

I honestly thought the tape had been deliberately altered to make him sound drugged.

After he is gone, someone or several someones will write tell all books and we’ll find out the gory details of what he took (or was given), who decided and how much they thought he needed. Things must be going really badly in his campaign. They’ll get him to Nov. 3rd if they have to stuff him with mud and drag him across the finish line.

Sep 2020

We were on his porch, drinking beer out of cans.

I had about 7 cans of beer.

Another friend came over.

He had a big plate of home made brownies.

I ate about 4 of them.

It wasn't until after I scarfed down the brownies that he told me they were special brownies.

Regardless, I was in better shape than Trump was during that speech. Oh sorry...that's "speach" for you lurking Trump supporters.
