Dianne Feinstein, Joe Biden show why we
need age limits for politicians

Original Article

Does it shock anyone, really, to learn that 88-year-old veteran US Sen. Dianne Feinstein is exhibiting signs of dementia? I’ll brace for angry emails from readers who still have landlines, dial-up modems and AOL addresses in making this argument: We’re long overdue for age limits on our legislators. Commercial airline pilots are forced to retire at age 65. Air traffic controllers must retire at age 56. Yet we have a 79-year-old in the White House who, on any given day, thinks that his VP is his wife, or that his wife is his sister and his sister is the first lady, or that Michelle Obama is the vice president

Comments:

I absolutely agree with this!! If our founding fathers had known that the Senate, Congress and Presidency would become the world's most expensive and extensive retirement home, they would have included term limits in the Constitution from the get-go.

Wrong Trump will be just as sharp at 100 as he is now! We need annual physicals with competency tests with results made public. If you fail, you should resign Joe!

Not everyone ages at the same 'rate'. It should be based on personal evaluation. Some people are demented before they are out of their teens/20s due to drug abuse. Others are still sharp as a tack in their 90s.

OP - Term limits don't work. California has had term limits for 30 years. Any elected official is just "the face" of the moment, they come and go but the same staff remains. They have civil service protection. When a politician loses an election, or is not considered viable to win their next, they are shuttled off to one of the myriad state commissions. These commissions are filled with political appointees but are able to pass "regulations" regarding their subject of purview, such as the CA Coastal Commission. Before Kamala,la, la was elected to any office she served on several of these boards by way of appointment from Willie Brown. As to why these dinosaurs don't retire, I have my theory. They are all bought commodities of the communist Chinese. Communists don't believe in retirement, especially for these most expensive of commodities. They must die in their traces in order to squeeze out every anti-American and anti-human law imaginable. They all deserve their fates.

As much as I loved Reagan, we cannot afford to have unelected people running the white house. I think you should not be able to run for office past age 77. We do not need 80 year olds running our country! Some are as sharp as ever, but many are not, and there is no way to know what you are voting for because their handlers hide the truth from the voters.

Age limits are not the way to go. Some people are sharp as a tack in their 90's. Term limits and cognitive testing are much better. The cognitive testing could be required for anyone over 70 and also be administered upon the request of 6 members of the House or Senate with 2 of those being from the subject's own party. The test should be the standard one given to seniors (recall, awareness of surroundings, draw a clock...).

The voting American public apparently. They keep getting elected. So if you don't like it, bring on Petey Butt Gig and his husband.

I still have a landline simply because it's too much hassle to contact every company that my phone number has changed. I also don't have to carry around a phone that's only slightly smaller than my 65 inch tv, and it doesn't need to be charged. Unlike every person under the age of 40, I don't need a cell phone on my person every second of every day, and I don't walk around with my face planted looking at a screen hoping someone will call me, and needing to be reminded to look up once in awhile for my own protection. I'm also on AOL. Not because I wanted to, but because Verizon decided several years ago to transfer all of it's internet customers to AOL. My email address says Verizon.net, not AOL, but it's AOL. It wasn't my decision.

While the members of the Democrat-stacked Select Committee on the so-called “insurrection” on January 6, 2021, will get their chance to bask in the glow of the media spotlight during the nationally televised spectacle of public hearings beginning Thursday, little attention will be paid to the protesters who have been rotting in a special D.C. jail after their protest that went badly awry. One protester who has been caught up in the living hell that was unleashed by the Biden administration and congressional Democrats and who, despite making a plea deal is still being sent to prison, reached out to conservative podcaster Steve Deace

I’m old enough to remember watching news reports about the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states describing electricity blackouts, showing stores with empty shelves and people standing in long lines at shops to purchase scarce necessities. Commentators explained how only government officials had access to nice homes or cars and how only government employees and Communist Party members were exempt from the rules they established for the populace. I saw it for myself in the early 1960s when I visited East Germany, crossing through Check Point Charlie, into East Berlin. I visited again 20 years later in the early 1980s before the “Wall” came down.

Schiff (D-CA), who is a vocal Jan. 6 committee member, is Gaetz’s least favorite Democrat hands down. He sat down with Taylor Greene during her “MTG Live” podcast this week to discuss the televised inquisition of Jan. 6 protesters by those on the left and expressed his depthless disdain for Schiff during the interview. “If you peel back the layers of the onion on the Russia hoax and the Ukraine,

There is a quote attributed to poet Maya Angelou: “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” As we watch the Democrats in power destroy the American economy, it’s worth paying attention to the things they’ve said. First and foremost is former President Barack Obama. On Oct. 30, 2008, just before the presidential election, he told a crowd in Columbia, Missouri, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Most Americans probably thought Obama was simply predicting his historic election as the first Black president of the United States.

As the liberal media obsesses over President Trump for so-called "inciting" the peaceful crowds to enter the Capitol on January 6 to protest, Republicans are standing up and defending their party. While meeting with conservative activists at a Phoenix IHOP, Senate candidate Blake Masters (R-AZ.) questioned whether Jan. 6 was just one big set up by the FBI. According to audio of the meeting obtained by CNN, the Trump-endorsed candidate was asked if he would support an investigation into the U.S. Intelligence operations to reveal the government’s motives in the protests, to which he replied “absolutely.”

President Joe Biden is walking back all his tough talk on the Saudis in hopes the perfidious princes will pump more oil to alleviate the global crunch that has America suffering $5-a-gallon prices. But rather than grovel in Riyadh, he should take his foot off the neck of the US energy sector. Biden vowed to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah state” back in 2019 for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s role in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But now The New York Times reports he’s looking to travel over there and shake MBS’s hand as a thank-you for OPEC’s decision to expand oil production Thursday. (Biden denies the report.)

It wasn’t that long ago when the left’s narrative on ‘gay rights’ was simple, straightforward, and easy to support: Let’s all be tolerant of one another, live and let live, and don’t discriminate. Tolerance is, after all, one of the fundamental tenets of the philosophy which drove America’s founding. But as the saying goes, “give someone an inch and they’ll take a mile,” which is the situation in which we find ourselves today. The message of ‘tolerance’ eventually morphed into ‘acceptance.’ At some point late in the Obama Administration, our culture decided that it was inadequate to merely tolerate the shenanigans of the LGBTQ community, we needed to welcome them.

Speculation is rife concerning the possible presidential candidates representing the two major parties as the nation approaches the 2024 elections. Everyone has an opinion, and the pundits are competing in the expertise sweepstakes. What can we say with some degree of plausibility? The Democrat roster is, by all accounts, dramatically uninspiring. Biden, who speaks in tongues, is plainly beyond redeeming; the question is whether he will manage to survive the year, let alone stumble, lollop, and whiffle to the end of his first term. Kamala Harris belongs in vaudeville or farce, given her talent for provoking laughter. Both will have to be retired in favor of an electable candidate. But who?

She stands athwart the House floor denouncing Trump, all his pomps, and all his evil works. Instead of Holy Water, she will sprinkle the tears of fellow Republican failure Rep.

That means the Biden administration is keeping the light blue and white scheme that goes back to the Kennedy era. The new Boeing 747-8s, which are being modified into flying White Houses, aren’t expected to fly until 2026. The Air Force revealed earlier this week there's a design flaw in Trump's color plan
