Ted Cruz's mother WAS a Canadian Citizen

This took a lot of research. Re: Ted Cruz citizenship
If the child’s parents are both U.S. citizens, a foreign-born child would be a U.S. citizen if at least one of the parents resided in the United States or a U.S. possession prior to the child's birth.

If one parent is not a U.S. citizen, the U.S. citizen parent must have lived in the United States for a specific period of time (until 1978, that was sometime within five years prior to the birth. After 1978, that was in the year prior to birth) ,before the child was born to transmit citizenship.
For children born on or after November 14, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have lived in the United States or an outlying possession for five years, of which two years had to be after the age of 14, prior to the birth of the child. 
A change in the law in 1994 enabled a U.S. citizen parent to apply for “expeditious naturalization” for a child, but it was not retroactive.
If one parent is a U.S. citizen, the U.S. citizen parent must have resided in the U.S. for 10 years, at least 5 of which were after age 14.
Some additional information may apply, here:
The divorce of Ted’s Parents must have happened sometime between 1962 and 1965 as the online Texas marriage records site (1966-2008) does not show a marriage after 1966 in Texas for these two people and under their commonly used names.

The requirements for citizenship for Ted at the time of his birth, from a birther site btw, are:
For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986,
a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true...
..For persons born out-of-wedlock (mother) if all the following apply:
1. the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the personʼs birth AND
2. the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the personʼs birth.
Cruz’ mother hadn’t been in the US for five years.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
