I think it is time we sit down and really look at some of the people controlling our lives. There are probably facts that could help us understand their motives and reasons for the decisions they make for us.

Take Mitch McConnell, for example, whose net worth in 2015 was $26,927,535.00. I am pretty sure he can handle the deductibles on his health insurance policy, which by the way, we are paying for.

Apparently, that wasn’t the case in the ‘40s when he was struck with polio at the age of 2. He overcame the potentially disabling disease by receiving treatment at the Warm Springs Institute in Georgia, which FDR created to treat his own battle with polio. In 1990, Mitch said that his family “almost went broke” because of costs related to his illness. It seems that Mitch either has a bad memory, or he believes that “what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander”. In this case, he’s the goose and we’re the gander.

When Mitch was medically discharged from the Army Reserve in 1967 for optic neuritis, he not only missed a vacation in Viet Nam, but he now had a pre-existing condition. Funny how 27 mill can changed your perspective. I’d like to add that Mitch is a Southern Baptist, and he’s received $1,2662,000.00 from the NRA.

Lindsey Graham is a poor boy like the rest of us. His net worth in 2015 was only $489,009.00. This might be one reason for his goal of replacing Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, whose salary is over $200,000. Not a bad income for a single guy.

When Lindsay was 21 his parents died within 15 months of each other, leaving him responsible for his 13-year-old sister, which he adopted. I wonder if he even thought about her once during the Kavanaugh hearings. Lindsey is also a Southern Baptist.

Chuck Grassley, net worth in 2015 was $3,336,536.00, and his talent for reconfiguring processes to fit his needs has brought a new meaning to the term pretzel logic. In early 2017 he sponsored legislation that expanded gun access to mentally disabled individuals because the previous ban “mistreats disabled Americans”.  A year later, on February 15, 2018, a day after the Douglas HS shootings in Florida, he claimed that the government had not done enough to prevent individuals with mental illnesses from obtaining firearms. Yikes, Chuck…which is it?? Mr. Grassley is also a Southern Baptist who has received $232,337.00 from the NRA.

Now, let’s cruise on over to Ted. Every time I look at Sen. Cruz, I see the mask from Cyrano de Bergerac. I think the image is appropriate considering that after Trump insulted Lyin’ Ted regarding his “Kennedy assassinating father” and spilling the beans on his wife, Cruz now supports him from his behind his mask. When he removed it during the 2016 campaign, he called Trump a pathological and utterly immoral liar.

Maybe Cruz softened after Trump fulfilled one of his requests, that “Trump nominate young justices in the mold of Clarence Thomas”. He got his wish…but now he Beto watch out. Ted Cruz was worth $3,796,017.00 in 2015. He’s only received $77, 450.00 from the NRA…but he is a Southern Baptist.

At this point, I’m going to stop. There is a history for every member of Congress available if you google enough. Learn about the people that control your future and that of America. Know who you’re talking to when voicing your concerns…and definitely voice your concerns…LOUDLY.

One thing for sure, I’m going to find out what the Southern Baptist Church is teaching these people!! Whatever ever it is, it obviously affects the memory.

Another religious fact… Kavanaugh is Catholic, as are Collins, Manchin and Murkowski. Wonder how each of them are dealing with the guilt.
