Trump’s 825th Day In Office
Are You Smarter Than A Legal Immigrant?

With Supreme Court Conservatives now appearing likely to give the Trumpster a big win on his Census Citizenship Question, Political Insiders at the Conservative Agenda were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane if anybody remembers that humiliating game show on Fox where adults embarrassed themselves trying to find out if they were smarter than a fifth grader.  For years The Blower has complained about all those Dumbed-down, Self-absorbed, Media-influenced, Celebrity-obsessed, Politically-correct Uninformed People who’ve made this country what it is today. So maybe it’s time for the Whistleblower to come up with our own humiliating TV game show. We could ask registered voters to compete against people like these who’ve just passed their citizenship tests to see if they know enough to be allowed to cast their ballots.

After a great deal of study, legal immigrants must answer questions about American history and government to demonstrate their understanding before they can become citizens. So we’ll pick our questions from this list of 100 that INS examiners might ask our aspiring citizens. Applicants typically are asked about a dozen questions, and the applicant is allowed to make a couple of mistakes. Let’s see how you would do.
