Don’t like his politics, but I pray that he recovers from this terrible cancer.

Hi mass55th,

Yes, Happy New Year (my wish above was supposed to be to both you and C19fan, poor editing on my part).

I thought about making a New Years resolution to stop noticing (and occasionally correcting) when other posters mis-read a comment, but it’s no use, I can’t do it. I try not to be the grammar/careful-reading police, but I turn 68 in less than a month and there’s no changing this old dawg, it seems.

FRegards to you and yours!

Democrats want our children debauched and the rest of us paying reparations, in socialist slavery, imprisoned or dead.

Pardon me if I don’t wish them well.

Let nature take it’s course according to God’s will and may He comfort his family as He sees fit throughout this time.

" I think the military has a 30 year rule. Maybe that should be implemented across the federal government."

Yes especially since they have a Defined Benefit Plan and a 403b/401k. Why the heck should a Brennan/Yates/Comey bump from Fed Job to Fed Job without a total time clock of 30 and out.

Their is a major employer that will remain nameless that changed their DBP to 35 yrs and no more contribution from us to cap those that are still there and on it as new employees were not allowed in in the mid 2000's. Let's not talk about the Private Sector, your in your Mid 50's and they are doing a Re-Org etc, frankly they want you out. It this is the new norm it's good for the Fed's as well.

And that means to me no going back to State Job / Political appointee job and I'd like to bar them from anything consultancy / K-Street.

They can go work at a box store in plumbing, anything but the Deep State.....

No you’re right

I was wrong to misread

But in this time of division

Of grave and yet to
be addressed injustices of all manner
against Trump and most
of America of which this puke is an accomplice

I can’t feel any sympathy for him whatsoever

Stage 4 pancreatic cancer means the cancer has spread and is likely incurable.... median survival rate is around 3–6 months after diagnosis, some people live longer than this...... Many individual factors, including age and general health, play a role in a person’s outlook.

Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in your pancreas develop mutations in their DNA. These mutations cause cells to grow uncontrollably and to continue living after normal cells would die. ... This type of cancer is called pancreatic adenocarcinoma or pancreatic exocrine cancer....Worldwide survival data for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas are the lowest among the 60 most frequent types of organ cancers.

Still not retiring. These people cling to power

He is a politician. Politicians are all vain, hollow, narcissistic, and have nothing in their lives but money and power.
