Zeke the Geek is proof that people can be “too old” at 62. The boy is a retard.

Exercise 3 times a week, lead a writing group at my church.Took my granddaughter to Paris and walked 7 miles the first day,have a spiritual blog that seems to have value to some, love my husband of 52 years who swims and bikes 5 days a week and takes no meds...Lord, spare us from our betters.

No doubt it will be your Social Media Score that will determine it rather than low IQ dems, if Zucekerberg doesn’t like you or your tweets or the thumbs up, you just made the list

Evil is on the march in plain sight,

News headlines I’ve noticed just in the past few weeks:

-There is no devil says Jesuit Priest
-Mixing human and animal DNA
-Social Media Credit Score to enforce your behaviour and conformity
-Negative Interest rates are good, you pay the bankers for the privilege of holding your money
-Death in plain sight, we all watched a man get murdered we all knew was going to get murdered, nothing to see here move along
-Treason, Sedition and Corruption in office gets a pass

Now lets add:
Eugenics - attenuated lifespan for useless eaters at age 75,

This is what happens when you view humans as resources, not as individuals with rights that come as a consequence of being human.

older Americans live too long in a diminished state,

He ought to stop by a pickleball court or a senior softball game........

How does one take care of one’s mitochondria? Besides using that stuff with the telomeres from InfoWars. ;) Genuinely curious, though.

Just last night, I watched a video of William Shatner at some event. He's 88! All the comments are about how much younger he looks and acts.

[dfwgator]

Could it be the reason for all of the disinformation about the Keto Diet.

Maybe they really don’t want people to live longer, and why they put out that evil Food Pyramid.

Carousel!

I was somewhat surprised when I heard Wayne Shorter just turned 86.

I got a family group text from my sister last night, she’s an internist at a DC hospital, I think it’s Walter Reed because she’s in the Army but we’re slightly estranged so I don’t always have all the details...it could be somewhere else I suppose. Anyway, the message was:

Spoke to Ruth Ginsburg at the hospital today
Showed her where the restroom was lol

Waiting for her reply as to whether it was at Walter Reed and if RBG was walking on her own. Man that baby blood is something powerful ain’t it?

And what about developmentally disabled and psychotic people? That’s where the Nazis began implementing the final solution.

His, "hope" or wish to die at 75 is telling. Mass deaths solve a lot of the perceived "problems" that the Left has: over-population, funding welfare programs, climate change, daycare, healthcare, etc. (Mass deaths solve everything but the production of more votes for Democrats, but they can always rig the polls.)

This guy was the architect of Obamacare, and you mean to tell me that those IPAB boards weren't "death panels?" They absolutely want the power to say, "no, we will not spend any more resources on your life"...effectively declaring someone "worthless."

[Lou L]

if you can start killing old folks it will speed up their planned demographics changes.

Only if you kill off the "right" kind of old folks...

My parents are both over 90, both still alive, and very much enjoying life. They still live in their large home and my dad still cuts firewood for the wood burning stove. My wife’s mother is over ninety and so’s she, though she does live in a retirement community.

I guess situations vary. :)

In October 2014, Ezekiel Emanuel published an essay in the Atlantic called “Why I Hope to Die at 75.” Because Emanuel is a medical doctor and chair of the University of Pennsylvania’s department of medical ethics and health policy, as well as a chief architect of Obamacare, the article stirred enormous controversy.

I want to talk to him when he's 74. This man is more ghoul than doctor.

[Kozak]

I’m pretty sure Walter Reed was closed and all military in DC posted to Bethesda Naval.

[cuban leaf]

Frankly, I just want to “live”, ‘till I die. And most of the people I know my age or older welcome death. But they are living this life fully, just one day at a time. And that is actually how we all should live. Because today could be your last, no matter how old you are. Especially if you text and drive. ;)

[Kozak]

I hope he gets his wish only sooner....

When a man who is knee deep in the blood of aborted pre born humans becomes Chairman of the Department of Medical Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, it tells you all you need to know about the values of that institution and the many others like it. Sadly this vile man does not exist in a social, political or cultural vacuum. His ilk are numerous.
