The choice of a President of the United States may be based on such issues as abortion.

The health of a woman should not be used to sway voters. Besides, women are being insulted. They are full-fledged citizens of the United States and they know right from wrong. They are responsible individuals and cannot be looked upon as frivolous.

Jumble Spoiler – 11/02/20

Visual Description:  Ancient ancient, with an ancient adding machine.

TIDOT  =  DITTO,  NEETV  =  EVENT,  GHUBOT  =  BOUGHT,  TMEENC  =  CEMENT   —   Giving us:  DTOENBOUCEN

Clue/Question:  Because the abacus was old and falling apart, it couldn’t – – –

Answer:  BE COUNTED ON

(This hardly registers as an original Jumble pun!  But, then again, have there been any original thoughts since the Greeks?  Of course there have, and so many things attributed to them came from earlier civilizations.

Fun ancient civilization cartoon.  It’s hard to tell whether they’re Greek or Roman.  Let’s all send Jeff our well wishes for Sydney’s speedy recovery from Covid-19!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
