An issue few of these demorat presidential wannabes are talking about. I think it's an issue too many of us ignore. But it's going to catch up to all of us. Ignoring it is a bad idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democratic debate last week featured six candidates presenting their familiar views on Medicare for All, foreign policy, and the Age of Climate Change.However, the candidates bypassed another age-related issue in plain sight.
A tsunami of retirement challenges is mounting as the U.S. population ages. There are 74 million Baby Boomers who will be 65 and older within a decade.Even in our current record-breaking economic expansion, many middle- or working-class seniors do not have enough savings to match their longer lifespans and haven’t planned for rising family caregiving costs.Responding to this shouldn’t mean more federal spending measures — we have seen enough of those clunkers and our budget faces unimaginable future problems.Instead, it’s time to advocate for Senior Sustainability. That means:(1) Implementing ideas to accommodate employment needs for a steady group of savings-strapped seniors.(2) Raising the profile of the just-passed SECURE ACT, which encourages employers to get more of their workers into valuable 401K matched retirement plans.(3) Educating younger generations that planning for retirement now is essential. Their life spans may exceed 100 years. In fact, some studies indicate a baby born this year could live past 150 years.Our target audience should be every American...... "The job of public policy is to make it easier for everybody to do what successful people are doing,” writes columnist David Brooks. It is not to practice class warfare.
And when it comes on how best to prepare people for retirement, let’s recall the words of Mary Kay, the colorful founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics.
Long ago, this trailblazing entrepreneur told her sales force: "From birth to age of 14, a woman needs good parents and good health. Then from 14 to 40, she needs good looks. From 40 to 60, she needs personality. And after 60, I’m here to tell you what you need is cash!”
The way to get people more cash of their own for retirement is to grow the economy.www.newsmax.com/claradelvillar/seniors-retirement-planning-baby-boomers/2020/01/21/id/950679/ |

It's been reported that President Trump could get as much as 30% of the AA vote. Is that really such a big deal? How many voters even belong to Alcoholics Anonymous? |

Every bit helps but the 1.3 Million in AA in the US would equal about 433,000. With new laws set to have those incarcerated able to vote with 2.3 Million in which 99% will vote Democrats, Repubs better find some other less fortunate voters.... |

Also non-government unions and their money are leaving the democrats. The DNC and fake news CNN are going after Sen. Sanders to get him out of the race early this time.
The democrats stand in the way. If the DNC connives to cheat Bernie out of the nomination many Bernie supporters--who the Democrats need in order to win--will stay home. The same thing happened to some degree in 2016 and the second time around will only benefit Trump (which is why, of course, he's highlighting how Bernie is getting the shaft once again). |

The DNC will of course do it to the Burnster yet again and CNN is the Clinton News Network..... poor man Sanders. I actually feel bad for ol' BS. I disagree with him on almost every issue but I still find him amongst all the Democrats, Liberals and Leftists to be honest and true to his core beliefs, in that I can find a path to respect. I also have always pulled for him so to have the ultimate confrontation of ideas, debate of ideologies..., on a GRAND stage such as a Presidential election. Bernie is a socialist and he is honest about it. Warren is as fauxchohontas as it gets and Hillary is deception de' jour. (although not in the running... yet.). I think the big moment comes in Iowa and if bernie can beat Ol' Creepy Joe. If N.H. is "Feelin' the Bern" and the old codger gets some mojo the Democrats will really start eating their own! |

How dangerous are these people running for president ? These " democrats" .. hard core communists !!They're very dangerous America had better be paying close attention, because these people are evil Bernie sanders ??Here's how someone who works for him talks...-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shocking Leaked Footage From Bernie Campaign ...a Bernie Sanders campaign worker making some shocking comments about the upcoming election. The man in the video is Kyle Jurek who made some appalling comments about his thoughts on the election in 2020. " There’s a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags, right? And actually, gulags were a lot better than like what, like the CIA has told us that they were," Jurek says in the undercover video. " Like, people are actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags. Gulags were actually meant for, like, re-education. Greatest way to break a f(bleep)king billionaire of their, like, privilege and their idea that they’re superior, go out and break rocks for 12 hours a day. You’re now a working class person and you’re going to f(bleep)king learn what that means." MALE JOURNALIST: Well, if Trump gets re-elected, what? JUREK: F(bleep)king cities burn!FEMALE JOURNALIST: Do you even think that some of these, like, MAGA people could even be (snickers) re-educated? JUREK: (laughter ) I mean, we gotta try. In Nazi Germany, after the fall of the Nazi Party, there was a s(bleep)t-ton (bleep) of the populace that was f(bleep)ing Nazi-fied. I mean like, Germany had to spend billions of dollars reeducating f(bleep)ing people to not be Nazis. Like, we’re probably going to have to do the same f(bleep)ing thing here. And that’s kind of what Bernie’s like whole f(bleep)king like, “Hey, free education for everybody, ‘cause we’re gonna have to teach you to not be a f(bleep)ing Nazi.” JOURNALIST: What are we going to do with those people that resist the change? ‘Cause that’s a big deal. JUREK: Well, I’ll tell you what. In Cuba, what do they do to reactionaries?JOURNALIST: They shot them on the beach. JUREK: Do you want to fight against the revolutiooooooon?JOURNALIST: (laughing) JUREK: You’re going to die for it!trendingpolitics.com/rush-limbaugh-reacts-shocking-leaked-footage-from-bernie-staffers/?utm_source=dtp&utm_medium=manychat&mcp_token=eyJwaWQiOjQ1MTA3NTQ2ODM4OTAxNSwic2lkIjoyMzk4NTUzNTEwMTkxMzIwLCJheCI6ImUyZTgyNDg4ZjlhZGFkM2ExZmVhMjg4MzM5ZGFjZmQ5IiwidHMiOjE1Nzk2NTU4NzYsImV4cCI6MTU3OTkxNTA3Nn0._ZOvMsOzp-UQiaAytR92HfBHWhMKw9muZ1msVZSqsOU |

Adam Schiff and the rest of the Democrat impeachment scam squad are now actively undermining faith in our elections. This is how little they trust the voters. There is no depth to which they will not sink in order to recapture power. These people are truly dangerous and need to be punished at the ballot box.

I don’t know anything about her, OTHER than she is running to unseat Pelosi, so you boys in that district might want to investigate further: www.deannaforcongress.com/ |

In celebration of MLK day earlier this week, I had a dream last night. It's vividness may have been from being up for about 36 hours straight, but it was a dream nonetheless.
I dreamt I was in New York with my wife and happened to be inside a building where a guy from the Howard Stern Show was asking Elizabeth Warren some questions. I don't know who the interviewer was, I haven't listened to Stern in years, but the interview was being broadcast back to Stern and live on the air. Warren made some snarky comment about a Massachusetts serial killer, saying that Howard represented the criminal. I heckled from the side "Actually, since the killer is from Massachusetts, that would mean you represent them, Senator Warren". With that, Warren wouldn't say another word. I continued to heckler her on the air & she didn't respond & didn't leave. Howard was so happy, he invited me on the show and hired me to be their California correspondent. So we go to leave, get out in the street & Liz Warren is there. She runs me over with her car and I wake up.
It was a weird dream.

Much like all her plans for the future and political ideology, she probably ran you over with Bernie Sanders' car.

Check this out - if you've got Twitter, check the comments. Pretty encouraging how there lots of non trump voters (like me), who now support him.
Almost too good to be true.

No Democrat in 2020 could inspire this. By tomorrow this line will be in the tens of thousands. No Republican in memory (not even Reagan) has generated the kind of of interest and devoted following. I don't even know if Obama in 2008 could match what we'll see on the Trump campaign trail this year.
