Love what you said about Bernie and agree totally.

I’m no expert but it seems to me that we have some of the groundwork already done. Groups like ours have a lot in common with other progressive groups so we should work together on this idea. Then there are also other parties that one already finds on their ballots that have much in common. Again we should be working together to create one strong…[Read more]

IF he is willing to say this much then obviously there are as many dissatisfied Rs as there are dissatisfied Ds. I think it is high time that s–t hits the fan and we get some change or new parties.

That of course helps us feel so much better about our country and our futures. Bah!!!

Not surprising. Was it us or Israel?

Do we really think the rich are going to welcome any kind of issue that keeps their self interest from making them richer? Since the day raygun was elected they have been cutting any kind of help that makes those of us on the bottom 50% healthier and able to live better.

They are not going to change easily. They do not care if their means of…[Read more]

And this is the absolute truth. My whole family are examples of this. God exists for us BUT we seldom find that evidence in the church of politics we have now a days.

That is one way we can all protest this foolish actions of states to continue limiting the votes of we the people. This began with the introduction of the gerrymander, voting booths being taken out of poorer districts, less voting booths making long lines, etc. Now they want us to stop voting by mail, have IDs, and so forth.

Each of these…[Read more]

was about the so called Christian minister who sued because he wanted access to the Capital on Good Friday. Wonder how much this had to do with him and his followers?

That first test with the memory a few minutes later after much discussion about other things is a typical test given to all of us seniors along with others such as counting the months backwards, etc.
That is how they find out what they should be treating us for.
So far I can pass all of mine.

I was included on my grandson’s tax form as a dependent and I have already gotten mine. But I don’t think you should give up on it coming since you are going to get it because you are on one of those programs. They are just running late.

I just read that if we should be lucky enough to get the UBI through that some want it to come through Social…[Read more]

Thank you for the right answer. I would be homeless if not for my family but they are not the blame – two things come to mind. A bill I owe to MN. Power and will not let me move into housing and the fact that I took care of my disabled daughter without pay or help from my ex for 45 years and the jobs I held during that time did not mean anything…[Read more]

It started with raygun but we have been following his policies in every presidential term since then. It is why us old FDR Ds are just as mad at the Ds as we are at the Rs.

Sounds good to many of us but I question why everyone in the US? There are many who do not need it.

Who’s brilliant idea was that??

I agree with you but those of us in their late 70s are likely to take a fall or trip on something just because of our age. And my doctor would have given me a once over for the same thing. My sister says that Biden stutters and that is why no press conferences but I do not know if that is true. Either way it to is just a medical situation that…[Read more]

How true. I LOL about the issue of who is black and descended from slaves!! Parts of my family are traced back to one of the first black settlers in NE MN and now are Native Americans. God can’t you just see the fight.

My problem with reparations is that it will not be enough. In order to fix the problems for now and generations to come it needs…[Read more]

I am 79 years old and at this age most of us have to be careful. It doesn’t mean we cannot think or carryon business. At least one of our presidents spent his whole 4 terms in a wheelchair. Surely we can find something else to talk about?

I am more worried about his love of war games, his failure to deal with the legal aspects of immigrations…[Read more]

Bernie knows how to work congress. And he is in position to work with other committees that also have good leaders. I think he might have made the right decision to drop out as if he had won all we would be hearing for the corpDs and Rs is Socialism, Socialism. To me it is a victory for us.
