Social Security Payments… to 360-Year-Old?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

A man in a suit stands, yells and points a cane. His mostly seated colleagues look at him.

Really cheesed off, aren’t they?

Democrats are screaming bloody murder over President Trump’s claim that 4.7 million people aged 100 to 109–and one who seems to be 360 years old–are receiving Social Security payments (https://lailluminator.com/2025/03/05/repub/trump-social-security/).

The point, of course, was that Social Security record-keeping is not as tidy as it should be. And the Democrats’ point, as usual, is that the Republican president has it in for old people and wants to cut their benefits. But then Democrats never tell the truth if they can help it.

Some 73 million Americans, including my wife and me, will get Social Security payments this year. I find no reason to believe that Donald Trump is gunning for us. But if you really do trust Democrats to manage America’s finances… well, oh, boy!

Trudeau is O-U-T!

How he ever lasted nine years as prime minister of Canada has always been a mystery to me. But the magic stopped working and now, finally, Justin Trudeau has resigned (https://www.foxnews.com/world/canadas-trudeau-announces-resignation-following-party-pressure-amid-criticisms-trump-budget-handling).

Trudeau’s immense legion of fans blames United States President-elect Donald Trump for “threats” of stiff tariffs on Canadian imports. Others blame it on the bossa nova. In any case, the Liberal Party must now elect an interim leader who will serve until the regular elections in October.

Far-Left politics doesn’t seem to be attracting as many voters as it used to.

 

‘Down With the “1619 Project”‘ (2000)

Can you remember when teachers weren’t evil?

Should our tax dollars be used to teach our children that our country (and theirs!) is a racist hell-hole that’s hardly worth the powder to blow it away?

President Donald Trump thought not. Reason No. 15 million why the Far Left Crazy and the teachers’ unions were so frantic to get rid of him.

Down with the ‘1619 Project’

Please take this to heart! Democrats, liberals, communists (all the same damned thing!) mean to destroy the United States as a constitutional republic, and whoever’s in their way, they mean to crush.

And you know they’re already cheating to rig this year’s election in their favor.

A Lesson from Way, Way Back

Herodotus, “The Father of History”

I got caught in a heavy rain today; and as I huddled under my umbrella, an incident of history crept into my mind. It was first reported by Herodotus–aka “The Father of History” to some, “The Father of Lies” to others–and later adapted by Livy, who changed some of the details. But the point of the story did not change.

The tyrant of Syracuse wished to pass on his power to his son; but his son said, “How am I to rule this country, father? I don’t know!”

“Come with me,” said the tyrant. “I’ll show you.”

He led his son out of the city, stopping in a poppy field. There he took his cane and began to lop off the heads of all poppies that had grown to a certain point.

“That’s how you rule Syracuse,” he said. “Anyone who grows too high, you cut him down.”

Some things never change. Donald Trump would understand this lesson: he’s getting the royal poppy treatment.

‘Is the “News” Just a Lot of Big Fat Lies’ (2019)

As the Almighty State’s hatchet-men labor to destroy President Donald Trump, somehow the nation seems to have forgotten that from 2016 through 2020, every single day, every Democrat in America, plus all the creeps in Academe and the nooze media, insisted that Trump’s victory in the 2016 election was illegitimate and should be overturned.

Is the ‘News’ Just a Lot of Big Fat Lies?

Doing the exact same thing they now demand that Donald Trump be imprisoned for!

I don’t remember any instance in my lifetime of Democrats not trying to invalidate any election that they lost.

I pray the LORD will intervene: we need to see some justice done.

Here’s Why They Hate Trump

Lifeblood book by Lee Duigon

I know I didn’t have a crystal ball when I wrote this in 1986… but now it seems I did.

Every villain on this earth is against Donald Trump–so he must be good. I’m finally convinced of that.

What a speech he gave in Michigan the other night! In which he pledged himself to “defend the working class from the corrupt political class that has spent decades sucking the life, wealth, and blood out of this country” (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4190256/posts). You tell ’em, Mr. President!

This is why the establishment will break every rule in the book if that’s what it takes to put this man down. Hey, no one comes home broke from Capitol Hill! Right? That’s something worth protecting, eh?

Like Trump himself has said, they’re coming after you–“I’m just in the way.”

(There, I’ve got those political passions off my chest. Now I can go outside and work on my book.)

A Refresher: ‘Some Thoughts on Roy Moore’ (2017)

FBI raids home and offices of L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar - Los Angeles Times

Who’s safe from this, anymore?

It’s easy to forget political events, even ones that were really big nooze at the time. I thought it would be good to revisit 2017 and the witch-hunt that kept Judge Roy Moore out of the U.S. Senate.

Some Thoughts on Roy Moore

This is what Democrats to do their political rivals–try to destroy them. A federal jury has awarded Moore $8.2 million in damages against the Democrats for defaming him in the Senate campaign. Their aim was to permanently destroy his reputation. They spent $4 million doing it.

But that’s nothing compared to what they’ve done to President Donald Trump. Now they’ve raided his home, and won’t say what for. They’ve turned the FBI into a corrupt partisan goon squad. When are they going to start shooting politicians they don’t like?

I was a newspaper man in the 1970s, covering state, county, and local politics. Most of the politicians I dealt with were Democrats–on the whole, normal, decent, and sane, even if they did have a few ideas I thought were totally wrong. Some were even good. I don’t recall speaking with any who were 20 oars short of a trireme, rug-chewing, foaming-at-the-mouth Far Left Crazies.

What happened to normal Democrats? How did they get replaced by all these loonies?

Well… If they can do it to Donald Trump, they can do it to you.

An Extra Newswithviews Column, May 25 (‘Where’s the Peacemaker?’)

Theodore Roosevelt – Photo gallery - NobelPrize.org

Due to some confusion on my part, I have an extra Newswithviews column this week: they want me to write another one for tomorrow, my usual publication day. Ah, well, it’s nice to be wanted.

Here we ask again: who can broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine? Boy howdy, who could that be?

Where’s the Peacemaker?

We might also ask, do the world’s big shots even want peace? Their great goal is not peace. Their dream is global government, owned and operated by themselves at our expense. Do they mind chaos and destruction? Not if it brings them closer to that global government. Like their mentor Stalin said, gotta break eggs to make an omelet.

We need Donald Trump back in office.

‘Is the President’s Name Hate Speech?’ (2017)

U.S. Senate: 1903-issued postage stamp, Benjamin Harrison

You wouldn’t believe how hard it was to get this Benjamin Harrison stamp, back when I was stamp-collecting.

Now that they’ve got the presidency, by hook or by crook, leftids say “Respect the office!” But they were singing a different tune in 2017, and kept singing it for the whole four years that President Trump was in the White House.

Is the President’s Name Hate Speech?

If they respected the office, they’d never choose the candidates they try to impose on us every two or four years.

It’s only hate speech when they say it is; and it’s only hate speech if it comes from us.

The Godzilla of All Trump Scandals!

Gasp! And it’s vanilla, too–white ice cream! That makes it worse!

How did I ever miss this, when CNN “reported” it back in 2017? (https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/trump-time-magazine-ice-cream/index.html) I was going to leave it alone, but find I can’t. This is worse than white supremacy!

Donald Trump, president of the United States, had two scoops of ice cream while everybody else at the table had one. Quick, the smelling salts!

Is this the  journalism we get from our journalism schools? Do these idiots just pick the school that has the highest sliding board? The biggest merry-go-round?

I hope Bill O’Reilly is right, and that CNN gets sold next year and all the chowderheads get fired.
