My friend and neighbor, Robert, wrote a Letter to the Editor of the weekly newspaper, the Chinook Observer, referring to the “Hands Off” rally held on April 5th in this county who voted for Donald J.
My husband gets a small left-leaning monthly publication that is geared towards seniors. It normally contains articles on investment and health. Funny thing is this month’s newsletter had an article about how to be “safe in a crowd.” I didn’t know seniors were so active attending large gatherings that they frequently found themselves in situations where it might get dangerous. These nutcase seniors are the new, nasty entitlement group and they are rabid about whatever it is that triggered them. So now under the Senior Citizens Protection Act, you can even sue your kids to pay your bills? What the heck has happened to our American culture? https://greatsenioryears.com/understanding-the-senior-citizens-protection-act/
According to the internet this is a law IN INDIA, NOT IN AMERICA. That said, most states have "elder abuse" and/or "elder financial abuse" statutes of one kind or another. Jill Biden COMMITTED both these crimes.
Yes, Jill and others abused Joe! We have a senior citizens protection act, but abuse is abuse. Why are seniors or anyone else special or different when it comes to the law? I get why children are given extra legal protection, but to automatically group people together as vulnerable when they reach a certain age gives them preferential rights. I have seen so many entitled seniors that I think this trend is adding another dimension to group politics. AARP being one of the biggest leftist leverage NGOs.
AMAC was founded long after AARP in response to the leftist legislation AARP was pushing. AMAC fought Obamacare. The difference is that AARP is actually an arm of the Democrat party. AMAC stands for Conservatives ideals. It is a matter of free speech these NGOs, but the difference between them is stark! AARP is even involved in Oakland Street Clinics which is a for profit company.
I'm a member of AMAC too. I tried AARP back in 2010 ish. Couldn't stand the condescending tone of the articles. I'm old, I'm not feeble!
As for senior safety, I can still shoot. I'm reminded of the words of madam Curie when urged by her daughter to participate more in the war effort. " I'm old and I'm female, but give me a gun and I'll see what I can do"
I think a lot of this senior entitlement attitude came about when after the 2008 collapse, you could hear many retirees complaining that they were on a “fixed income.” Unless you hit the lottery, aren’t we all on fixed incomes? Senior discounts are paid for by others who pay full price plus. 😡
Defining the phrase “fixed income” has been rejiggered to me something it never meant in the first place. Fixed interest is a certain rate. It doesn’t mean anything more or less than what is normally offered. With that in mind, most people who make a salary are on a “fixed income” meaning an agreed upon wage. Somehow, it became a leverage term used to humiliate and mobilize seniors to side with Dem socialist policies.
We SANE need to recognize there are around 6% of the population that cannot be saved. We are to leave these people to God for Him to resolve. I pray for their salvation.
Many of us have been commenting on the fact that there are a high percentage of elderly screaming in the streets with their hate Trump and hate Musk signs, across the nation. Are you seeing that in your neck of the woods? Trump won this purple county THREE TIMES, yet these fools are in the streets, screaming hatred at their neighbors. BTW, Robert (age 75 or so) is both my neighbor and a member of my John Birch Society chapter. He just won a Byrna Launcher at a Republican women's raffle. He is safe when the loons come looking for him! Ha!
Boomer Democrats are the most disturbing ones, in part because they are well past old enough to know better, and Minnesota is full of them. Ugh. It sickens me just to think of them.
This last election has made me wonder how so many older women became insane. Watching them destroy political signs in other people's yards, key cars with Trump bumper stickers, steal flags off of cars, and even berate or attack total strangers in the store for wearing politically themed attire has convinced me of their mental incompetence. So much free-floating rage in this demographic--why?
If you've ever been immersed among the Woke, you'll understand that they are fundamentally different and unreachable. People on our side have trouble grasping the enormity of this impasse, and so keep vainly imagining that we are going to win the Woke over. Wokeness, I believe, appeals to people who have some sort of fundamental mental problems to start with. Formerly they were suppressed via a more rigidly rational and religious social ethos, but in the absence of that they are now free to roam, just as the occupants of tent cities now occupy public spaces rather than mental institutions

Forbes reports that AARP made 2.8 Billion supporting Obamacare. https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2012/09/22/the-aarps-2-8-billion-reasons-for-supporting-obamacares-cuts-to-medicare/ AMAC was a grass roots organization. My point is that the Dem radical NGOs like AARP and liberal publications are coordinating the senior entitlement movement.
What? Wait, you can sue your kids to pay your bills? I must explore this possibility lol, after all, turnabout is fair play.

Interesting. "Fixed income" has been used as an excuse to squeeze more money out of the middle class much longer than 2008. Check out what happened to AMAC outside of Portland: https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/living-behind-enemy-lines-tale-44

I had not seen it that way. You could be right.
If I wrote better, there would not have been a question. I love that you helped me see that! 😉

Did you read THIS article? https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/living-behind-enemy-lines-tale-45
Yes. I read that! Amazing intolerance. I do not comprehend why so many older women are so hateful!
I don't either! Breaking the law, risking arrest and FOR WHAT?????
