Not until their direct family members get hurt do these clowns pay attention to the terrorists entering our borders.

His grandkid is Speaker of the IA House of Representatives, and the likely successor to be appointed if and when Chuck dies in office.

Battalion Commander push-ups are never to standard. Weak at best. Just unlocking your elbows doesn’t count.

He does a two mile run...?
I want to see a video of that run..is it daily?

LOL...he can barley walk and when they were done with the push ups...Cotton walked over and helped Grassley to stand up...he can barley walk let alone run...

Same with Biden when they showed a person riding a bike and said it was Biden and Jill. made me lol..Joe does a slow shuffle type walk...and they show a person riding a bike...it was not Biden...betcha...

Today's MAIN STREAM MEDIA...LIES..and covers for Biden and all the oldies...

By the way, anyone seen a photo of DIFI of CA. LATELY? she rolled over to 88 in June. Some one need to tell DIFI that coloring your hair doesn't make you look younger...
AGE MATTERS...

Grassley’s brain is mush. He can barely read what his staff writes for him at Senate hearings.

I’m about 7 1/2 years behind her. Hope I’m still huffing
at that age.

If he has been fit all his life and eats/sleeps right, he’ll do it in 30mins or less.

So essentially we have Izzy Mandelbaum as a senator.

—”we have Izzy Mandelbaum as a senator.”

Clearly, the Mandelbaum training techniques should be used on all US Senators and congresscritters.
With a monthly tune-up and annual test.
Survivers to be buried in their home states.

I was supposed to be changing the oil on my wife’s car...
But somehow I’m digging through video clips?
And most have to be checked out thoroughly.

—”The addiction to ‘feeling important’”

Yes, a longish quote... I could not cut one word, it fits so well.

“I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favourable presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it. That is the point at which the negation of Catholicism and the negation of Liberalism meet and keep high festival, and the end learns to justify the means. You would hang a man of no position, like Ravaillac; but if what one hears is true, then Elizabeth asked the gaoler to murder Mary, and William III ordered his Scots minister to extirpate a clan. Here are the greater names coupled with the greater crimes. You would spare these criminals, for some mysterious reason. I would hang them, higher than Haman, for reasons of quite obvious justice; still more, still higher, for the sake of historical science.”

Cut the old guy some slack!

Hand grenades and pushups they say.
I’m a young septuagenarian and since a slip on the ice last winter, now doing eccentric pushups and 20 is my current max.

I’ll be back! I did fifty regular pushups every day forever.

A young buck at work bragging, so we bet lunch.
He did 73, I still remember him screaming for me to go for max! I completed 74 and laughed. A most enjoyable experience.
A friend of a friend in high school did 2002 pushups, back in the 1960s.

Also, see #38.

Guys gotta have fun!

My career Navy father could do ONE LEG DEEP KNEE BENDS until his hip went out at 90.
I would bet any takers and split the winnings with the Oldman.

How is it a battle if you’re only doing 22 PUs?
