Truth or Consequences? [a small and stately, reflection on the times?

What was the first State to join the Union?
It joined the Union in 1787.
It was also the first state to “elect” a transgender to Congress.
That State of mind is Delaware.
Or, a better way to put it: an engineered state of mind.
With, or course, help from its engineering selection “friends”.

And sadly, my state of mind; in this 20th-Worst Century…
with it mind manipulations, & its Bob Barker consequential permutations.

Truth?
And/ Or Consequences?
