Slow Joe gets a big no!
Pathetic!
And the whole world knows it.

“Proud member of the 15 PRESIDENT’S CLUB.”
Granny are you saying you were alive when Franklin D Roosevelt was alive? That would be 15 presidents back.
My father was a dyed in the wool Democrat and I swear when I lived in Seattle as a young child he took me to see Truman when he was campaigning. When I Google it though it says he made a whirlwind tour across Washington state from Spokane to Seattle on June 9, 1948. We would have been moved from Seattle by that time so apparently it was something I got in my head as a child.
You may have gotten what your grandfather said about Truman mixed up since you were a child. From what I read Truman SIGNED the pension act. I don’t know when the Government started to not keep their promise but I don’t think it was under Truman.
“The situation is clear. In 1946, President Truman signed the historic Lewis-Krug Agreement negotiated by UMWA President John L. Lewis and U. S. Department of Labor Secretary Julius Krug. This industry-wide agreement obligated the federal government to life-time health and pension benefits for the nation’s miners through the initially called UMW Welfare and Retirement Fund. In the deal, workers sacrificed wage increases for the promise of life-time health-care and pension benefits. These promises were obligations and responsibilities agreed to by corporate America and top political leadership in the absence of national programs, such as those in Canada and Europe, that were legislatively obtained through the political process. The plan was set up with royalties paid per ton of coal backed by a federal guarantee.”
“In 1974, the Employment Retirement Income and Security Act caused the above-mentioned fund to split into two separate funds, with the 1974 Pension Plan providing pension benefits to eligible miners who worked on or after January 1, 1976. As a result of extremely depressed coal markets, coal company bankruptcies, layoffs, consolidation and other factors there has been a dramatic decrease in the level of employer contributions to the 1974 Plan. In the last two years alone contributions have dropped by more than $100 million, leaving less than $25 million per year still coming in to the Plan.”
“As noted, there are many factors that are contributing to the problem. One is the failure of the federal government to honor its commitment to coal miners who made America a great nation.”

Here is a chronology of his years in office.

Did you know he didn’t have a VP from 1945 to 1949? Did you know on 19 June 1945: he flew to Washington State, becoming the first president in office to use air travel within the country?
How much things have progressed in such a short period of time.

Yes and The Idiot Biden handlers over-played their hand keeping this Joker on too long to ramble on!
Amen.
Agree!
Thanks for the share of wise words for all to heed.
Yes, I can't understand that. They kept him in the basement the whole campaign because they knew he was a basket case. Plus all of the other mental breakdowns over the past year, yet they let him go out there for 2 hours to make a fool of himself and them. I guess they bowed to the Fake News pressure asking for a press conference.
LOL....Ginger Goebbels just can’t help herself, can she?
The lies fly so easily from her putrid mouth.
“I called him “horsesh!t*
Lol! Out of the mouth of Babes.
Speaking of what kids say when they are little. One time when we were at church and they were serving communion my oldest daughter who was not even two blurted out “I’ll have a BEER”
Talk about wanting to die. We didn’t even drink at that time so have no idea where she got that from except maybe from the TV. Did they even advertise beer on TV back in 1960?
I wish I could think like a radical to at least grasp what they were thinking....ha!
We are looking leaderless every time they allow Dip-Stick Biden near a microphone!
“From CB’s and Dolly’s meet up at Cootie Brown’s Johnson City.”
I can’t believe you ate at a place called “Cootie” I mean you know what my generation called “Cooties” :-)
Dolly, you look the same as you did in your pictures from years ago. Beautiful as ever.
Cotton, why aren’t we seeing any pictures of you and what did you order that Dolly says you didn’t care for?
Never heard of it, until now
LOL spunky I didn’t even think of the name and “cooties”!
I’m camera shy. I got a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, that was light in the Buffalo and light on the chicken (processed). However Dolly’s pizza was terrific and she was very generous!
Judy, I don’t recall the usage of it either. I found this.
“Time Traveler for selfsame
The first known use of selfsame was in the 15th century”
It appears to me to be “An archaic word or sense is one that still has some current use but whose use has dwindled to a few specialized contexts, outside which it connotes old-fashioned language. In contrast, an obsolete word or sense is one that is no longer used at all. ... An outdated form of language is called archaic.”
You said the books are printed by the Mennonites. If they also write the books I can imagine they would probably use some archaic language.
First I’ve heard of that word, too.
Exactly the same….selfsame.
You’ve taught us something new, today. ;-)
Dolly’s pizza was YUGE. And, looked so yummy.
Hope all is well during the freeze, dj.
