I gave students in my 2016 Presidential

Election class a true or false test on cam-

paign news. They failed. Let’s see how you

do.

True or False #1

In 2013 the attorney general of Florida an-

nounced that she was investigating the Clin-

ton Foundation for fraud. Within days of the

announcement, the Clinton Foundation ille-

gally gave a donation to the attorney gen-

eral's reelection campaign. Shortly thereaf-

ter, the attorney general closed the investi-

gation of the Foundation. A month later,

Bill Clinton appeared at a campaign rally

for the attorney general. The attorney gen-

eral won her reelection race and the Clinton

Foundation was never investigated.

True or False #2

white supremacist David Duke's support of

Ponderings

The trials and tribulations of ordinary medieval life are inter-

esting. Despite the oddity of the behav-iors and beliefs of the inhabit-ants of that world, the echoes of their think-ing remain with us in a variety of

ways, such as the order we eat our meals: starter, main, des-sert.

Takeaways or a meal taken home were available in towns with pie shops, hot meat shops, and inns.

Fast food or a meal on the run was also available from cart vendors who set up shop in the markets and sold pretzels and other foodstuffs to be eaten on the street.

Most people ate two meals a day, dinner (a heavy meal) at midday and sup-per (a light meal) in the evening. Breakfast was a later concept. Lunch was a snack, usually eaten while working.

his candidacy, Donald Trump denied three

times that he knew David Duke, even

though he did. The cock did not crow.

True or False #3

True or False #4

True or False #5

True or False #11

biggest penis on stage.

True or False #12

Hillary Clinton illegally obtained citizen-

True or False #13

True or False #14

True or False #15

True or False #17

because it will reveal that

he is white.

True or False #20

In August, Clint East-

wood's 2012 RNC conven-

tion chair announced its

support of Donald Trump,

saying, “As a chair, I feel Trump's just say-

ing what's on his mind. Secretly, I am tired

of political correctness. When I grew up, we

made fun of sofas, but no one called us sofa

haters. Now we are treated like deviants."
