Mr Leake, tell the cupcakes to move on! Are you kidding me? Chuck Schumer/Mitch McConnell/Nancy Pelosi are the worst of the boomers you were referring to. Can we grow up now?
The List goes on & on & on..... Nadler, Shifty, Mad Maxine Waters, 88 yr olds- ClaudePepper, John Dingell, 82- Henry Waxman, Carl Levin, 81- Peter Stark, 80- JohnConyers, Steny Hoyer, George Miller, Charles Rangel. These free loaders don't want to leave. And when they do, they are Millionaires, with multiple Mansions. Disgrace,
They aren’t all Democrats! Don’t forget Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, age 90; Representative Harold Rogers, Republican of Kentucky, 85; Representative John Carter, Republican of Texas, 81; Representative Kay Granger, Republican of Texas, 80; Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, 80; Senator Jim Risch, Republican of Idaho, 80; in addition to Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, 81.
Grassley's doing the lion's share of work investigating Hunter Biden & the Ukraine corruption though. I wouldn't necessarily excuse younger people from being corrupt. Younger people are more susceptible to wanting to fit in. Old farts don't give a rat's ass. I say judge on performance and whether they can answer straight questions and not ooze oil.
None of those are Boomers. They're all of the Silent Generation. If you're going to be an identitarian, at least get the identities right. You wouldn't call a kraut a wop, would you?
LOL. Just finished watching the Fawchee hearings….interesting to note he had his jar of vocabulary Vaseline ready when it got awkward….and golly, Miss Molly, how interesting to watch the phrasings and praising of all his friends on the council…as in “Watch your doorbell tomorrow, Im sending flowers “ You never know….wow so many never heard, never bothered! To follow the hard working researchers and doctors who are providing lists and more lists of Died Suddenly!! Needless, sickening !
It was so syrupy, to see them cow-towing was cringeworthy. So many phonies. Bowing and scraping despite the clip where he says that if you deny college attendance you can pressure people to give up their ideological BS. Wow, wow, wow! Dr. McCormac (not sure if that is his name, something like that) spoke the truth. He knew the data since he was in the trenches. Some made it a bipartisan issue instead of a medical issue, and I thought Ms. Green let herself down in the way she expressed herself. The data given by Fauci with no papers to reference goes like this not verbatim: the un-vaxxed had high mortality and high hospitalization rates by a long shot compared to the vaxxed. Morens is lying. The CDC are responsible for the six feet distancing etc.... Oh, it was painful to watch really.
Ms Green doesn’t speak with lace doilies; she is open and real, and ticked off with her lazy colleagues, who have been riding the legislative train, special lunch in the dining car and turned up beds by 7 pm, a cup of hot cocoa if you buzz for it. “Doing the heavy lifting” as my brother used to say. Their whole life has been a coffee break ….
Lace doilies would be overkill. Her sentiments landed for me, but I think her impact would be more effective if she held her composure while transmitting her message.
Nancy and Joe and Mitch are too old to qualify ! Does it make a difference ? Well - they weren’t born in a time of peace and relief and victory - they were born in a time of stress , fear and separation from their fathers . Chuck Schumer - well there is no excuse for him .
If you really want to SOLVE the problem. you have to get BOTH sides of the Equation, the LIAR, and the PEOPLE who accept it. If forgiveness and "grace" were taken away from liars, they'd quickly stop lying. For example, I can't tell you how many Christians I've had admonish me for my article about Dr. Jordan Peterson https://danielnagase.substack.com/p/applied-psychology-part-1 telling me I should "forgive" him and show "grace" by not publicizing the great sin he did upon his followers telling them to take something he knew was a poison.
Problems Caused by LIARS = The Liar + The People who go along with them.
"Going along" can be anything from not calling out their lie, to fully cooperating with the lie in the expectation of the reward. To get rid of the LIAR problem, you have to address both sides.
Forgiving is not excusing. A person forgives for their own peace of mind. They give up emotionally wanting vengence while still keeping the person on the hook and seeking justice. I believe the crimes were heinous and justice should be severe but I take no pleasure in it. I don't wish to slake my vengeance or get revenge. I just want justice consisting of appropriate serious punishment and no more excuses.
In terms of Christ, if we really follow Him we should concern ourselves with Fauci's soul, which can only be redeemed via sincere repentance. That said, similar to an addict or alcoholic (famously narcissistic), it's not surprising he carries on with his lies and denies his role in harming others. But it's not until such people "hit bottom" that they get the choice to save their soul. My wish is for Fauci to receive the "gift" of justice such that he "hits bottom" with no more enablers to save him, and thus ends up with only one choice: genuinely repent or lose your soul for eternity.
Daniel, Please consider: To forgive is not the same as to condone. As in famously: "Forgive them for they know not what they do." "Judge not that ye not be judged."
One personally understands/forgives the humanity (having it oneself) - and then holds the liar appropriately accountable for their lie/mistake/ignorance/sin etc. etc.
What I find is that all some idol has to do is declare themselves to be a devout Christian, and then all of the sudden they get a free pass from the community on all manner of treachery and betrayal, under the guise of "following Christ". If you replaced "forgiveness" with restitution, the world would be very different.
Real Christianity is a "narrow way" and "few there be that find it." Matthew 7:14. What we have now is the popular religion of Baal, dressed up in some of the words of Jesus. If the leaders crave money and popularity, they cannot offend the carnal desires of the people.
John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
You are correct; proper repentance is a loathing of sin, and a desire to undo any of the damage that we have done to others, because we see it as done to God himself. Ezekiel 33:15 "If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die."
Cupcake here - accuracy still matters to me. I'm guessing he didn't rip on your generation. Plenty of rotten millennials and Gen Xers in politics - way plenty. He didn't bother to mention that fact - he chose to single out my generation. And the laughable part is that he missed being a baby boomer by six whole years! Now that makes a difference.
Anyone who thinks the future looks brighter because the likes of AOC and Gavin Newsome will soon displace the rotten old guard, needs their head examined. It will be worse - guaranteed - they're proving it, now.
I'm exercising my First Amendment right, while I still have it.
And McConnell and Pelosi are not baby boomers. Look it up.
If you don't like the cupcake's comments, don't read 'em.
For so many years, our representatives were Farmers, Doctors, Merchants, lawyers. They were part time legislators putting in their sweat and blood for this country. That stopped by the beginning of the 20th century. Coincidentally, about the same time - the 17th amendment was ratified. Look it up!! Read it!! It took away ALL the federal power from the states. That changed the nature of politics and our political future!!!
Geez… I’m a Boomer, b. 1954. Anyone not recognizing that we’ve destroyed everything we’ve touched, while inventing nothing, writing nothing, composing nothing… is just not paying attention.
And, yes, we need a mandatory retirement age far more than term limits.
Term limits takes care of the retirement age issue.
Regarding retirement age: there are octogenarians who are wise and accomplished & intelligent & discerning: Thomas Sowell, Victor David Hanson, Clarence Thomas, but none of them are in politics.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely & the longer one is in power the more likely and deeply the corruption.
I would much rather have one of the aforementioned in office at their age after their primary carrier for several years than any of the fossilized barnacles currently in office for decades.
Spoken like a true leftist who is used to making up umbras and penumbras in every line of the Constitution and piece of legislation to make it say exactly what it does Not say. It’s people like you that give your profession a bad name.
You must be so sad not to be able to get your mistresses un pregnant around the corner at any and all stages of pregnancy, but have to fly them to a jurisdiction like New York where they kill babies at any and all stages of pregnancy, and even for days afterwards. So, how many have you paid for?
Or is it because of the color of his skin, eh, buddy? Come on now, fess up you know that you idolize Senator Robert Byrd, Grand Dragon of the KKK.
I see from your description you're a retarded attorney. Makes sense.
You don't have the intelligence or accomplishment of one of Justice Thomas' bowel movements. A greater man than you could've ever dreamed of being. Haters gonna hate.
I call into question Clarence Thomas, and you compare me to something less than his bowel movement? Quite the mature put-down! Yes, as you just demonstrated, haters gonna hate, though some haters seem to get their ideas from the toilet.
Listening to the younger members of Congress on the subcommittee grilling fauci, I would say there were a number of democrats who sounded distinctly out of touch with the way the American people are feeling toward that monster Tony f.
Things would not improve if nutcase baby boomers retired because there's an excellent crop of nutcase younger politicians already in place.
Let me remind you of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Greg Casar, Summer Lee , and Delia Ramirez (serious nutcases all), Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Chris Wray, Steven Dettlebach, and every single below-age-55 politician-member of the Biden Regime. Kamala Harris is in a class of her own. One cannot both be a member of the Biden regime and *not* be a liar.
Baby-boomers are the last generation directly connected to WWII. They fought in Vietnam. When they go, much that is good will go with them. There will be a bumper crop of lying younger nutcases to replace them. Members of your generation, John.
Class of her own !! LOL. Not much class …..I have tried to imagine how she supposedly ran a dept in San Francisco and was even paid for it.~~~A week working for her must be the same as tossing a box of puzzle pieces on the table and hoping they will make sense after coming together. Lots of pieces missing
I have read the corruption problem in Washington is multi-faceted: Bribery, threats, including death threats, lies, slander, and honey trap. I understand what you're stating but the corruption appears to be universal and all ages. However, I agree that getting some of the politicians that have been in office for 30 years or more would be a good thing. Unfortunately, I don't think term limits for congressmen will pass the house and senate.
Term limits alter the constitutional requirements for the office. SCOTUS held years ago term limits require an amendment, as would a mandatory retirement age.
I remember NFL Hall of Fame great Steve Largent saying he and some colleagues used to monitor each other while living in a boarding house in DC and then they all left Congress because the temptations and pressures on their moral character were just too great. And he possessed a lot of moral character.
I'm a slightly outside the Boomer Box in TOTAL agreement with the need to move on (I''m a young 81).... many years ago a friend of mine was elected to Congress...... on his first trip home, several months after he took office, he commented "I'm glad I made millions of dollars before I went to DC so I'm not tempted by the money"....
Mr Leake, tell the cupcakes to move on! Are you kidding me? Chuck Schumer/Mitch McConnell/Nancy Pelosi are the worst of the boomers you were referring to. Can we grow up now?
The List goes on & on & on..... Nadler, Shifty, Mad Maxine Waters, 88 yr olds- ClaudePepper, John Dingell, 82- Henry Waxman, Carl Levin, 81- Peter Stark, 80- JohnConyers, Steny Hoyer, George Miller, Charles Rangel. These free loaders don't want to leave. And when they do, they are Millionaires, with multiple Mansions. Disgrace,
The oldest Boomers are 76 years old. The Boomer years are 1946-1964. No one 77 or older is a Boomer: It's not just an epithet for 'old'.
ok, thank you. Why not extend it, to see the full picture.
Extend what? What full picture?
They aren’t all Democrats! Don’t forget Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, age 90; Representative Harold Rogers, Republican of Kentucky, 85; Representative John Carter, Republican of Texas, 81; Representative Kay Granger, Republican of Texas, 80; Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, 80; Senator Jim Risch, Republican of Idaho, 80; in addition to Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, 81.

None of those are Boomers. They're all of the Silent Generation. If you're going to be an identitarian, at least get the identities right. You wouldn't call a kraut a wop, would you?
It’s a wonderful system if you’re part of it and you get to vote on it. Win-win
Carl Levin was a great congressman. I was sorry to see him go. You can't generalize by age all the time.
LOL. Just finished watching the Fawchee hearings….interesting to note he had his jar of vocabulary Vaseline ready when it got awkward….and golly, Miss Molly, how interesting to watch the phrasings and praising of all his friends on the council…as in “Watch your doorbell tomorrow, Im sending flowers “ You never know….wow so many never heard, never bothered! To follow the hard working researchers and doctors who are providing lists and more lists of Died Suddenly!! Needless, sickening !

My boo-boo! Thought of it in the shower

I just saw this lol
Where can I watch that...I also would like to see. Thanks💜
Boomers were born from 1946 to 1964 .
Nancy and Joe and Mitch are too old to qualify ! Does it make a difference ? Well - they weren’t born in a time of peace and relief and victory - they were born in a time of stress , fear and separation from their fathers . Chuck Schumer - well there is no excuse for him .
I was 1943, my dad was 47 and worked for RR.
I am not like Pukelosi

It is a complete misuse of the Life of Christ. Liars should not be "forgiven", they should simply by expected to restore the damage their lies caused.
I think you might be a bot. I cannot access your link and your statement is not coherent.

Targeted message directed at a denizen of the sewer.
All term limits do is enlarge the power of the permanent bureaucracy. Japan found this out years ago. Suboptimal.
Alas, you are right, though is there any limit to their power now? Recent events have called that into question.
Only some decades ago the Ten Commandments used to be posted in school hallways

Touchy, were they? 😲😠
Must have some unknown demon within jabbing them in the bum.
I LOVED TODAY'S CONTRIBUTION AND AM PROBABLY THE
SUN SET OF THE BOOMER GENERATION...And, release of 'Gen. X'
which is often a colorful time of day.
Depends on what/who definites time.
Keep up the work...Love the controversial best of all.
ALWAYS KEEP 'EM THINKING. 🤔🤩

Thank you for that info
You were fine, John.
I'm a Boomer and I approved of your message.
The lesson you explained is critical.
Those who took umbrage may be habitual liars in denial.
Mr. Leake, I'm a Boomer (1955). I took no offense. Boomers could do a lot to beat down their bad rep by not being so dang touchy. Sheesh.
Term Limits would help to curtail some of that deep entrenchment of mendacity. However, it would only the first chapter in a long book.
I remember NFL Hall of Fame great Steve Largent saying he and some colleagues used to monitor each other while living in a boarding house in DC and then they all left Congress because the temptations and pressures on their moral character were just too great. And he possessed a lot of moral character.
I'm a baby boomer and am not the least bit offended. It's the truth...period.
I'm a slightly outside the Boomer Box in TOTAL agreement with the need to move on (I''m a young 81).... many years ago a friend of mine was elected to Congress...... on his first trip home, several months after he took office, he commented "I'm glad I made millions of dollars before I went to DC so I'm not tempted by the money"....
A wise one there…wish we had more of those
My first thoughts were Pelosi and Biden ain't boomer's. Lol.
As a boomer myself I had no problem with your comments or suggestions. You speak the truth on this matter.
