"The View" hosts slammed criticism of President Biden's "where's Jackie" gaffe on Thursday and said that America was "ageist." "I mean, she passed last month not, like, a hundred years ago," co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. Joy Behar added that former President Donald Trump forgot Fredrick Douglas was dead. Sara Haines compared Biden's moment to a "brain fart" and "mommy brain." Reacting to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre answering questions about the obvious gaffe, Haines declared: "That was very apparent, what this gaffe was, I think her explanation made it worse though because in that moment I probably would have...

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) rushed to the defense of his colleague Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on Wednesday after leftists attacked the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee over her handling of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing, accusing her critics of being driven by “sexist” and “ageist” motivations. “Democrats calling for Senator Feinstein to step down from Judiciary Ranking Member should think twice abt their sexist & ageist motivations against an outstanding legislator & icon in her own right,” Grassley said, calling the attacks “totally unjustified”:

Kamala Harris herself couldn't have been tougher on Joe Biden than David Gregory was on CNN's New Day this morning. Gregory raked the Dem frontrunner over the coals on numerous issues. Highlights: "No, I don't think he looks really good right now." "He looks out of touch. He looks older. He looks out of step with the times." "I don't think there's any good excuse for him not being ready for that first debate on these issues. Are you kidding? Kamala Harris previewed all this stuff. She had criticized him on this before. Now he says he was unprepared? That's...

Seniors suffer the consequences of the way they are portrayed in the movies WASHINGTON, DC, Mar 3 – Hollywood’s entertainment elite appears to be increasingly dismissive of America’s aging population, according to a new study by Humana and the University of Southern California. “I came across the research and then it hit me: perhaps all of their incessant whining over the election of President Donald Trump has roots in the vanity that oftentimes goes hand-in-hand with being a so-called star.  The fact is that many of the movies produced in Tinseltown in recent years have indeed been increasingly disdainful of...

Graham Nash feels optimistic that young people will once again change America for the better. So while he’s frustrated by political ideals surrounding issues like global warming and marriage equality, he realizes that “those powers against progress” will naturally run their course. “They will all die at one point and the children will take over,” Nash said. Then he added: “Do you know anybody under 25 that gives a damn whether you marry a man if you’re a man or if you marry a woman if you’re a woman? No.” …

bill that has just passed the California State Senate could effectively make criminals out of many people- just for having sex. The bill, SB 967, would require “affirmative consent” before college-age couples can have sex. This would essentially outlaw sex that is had “while in the heat of passion”. From Breitbart News: SB 967, amended last week by state Sen. Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), would mandate that college students obtain “an affirmative, unambiguous, and conscious decision by each participant to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity.” ……….. “Obviously, there is a problem,” he said in the report. “SB 967...

Official campaign ad is consistent with ageist hate speech hosted at My.Barackobama.comThis official advertisement, "Paid for by Obama for America" and approved by Barack Obama, continues his campaign's proud tradition of mocking and ridiculing senior citizens, and indeed people over 50. The ad opens with a mirror ball from a disco under the caption 1982, and then shows a clumsy portable phone and a Rubik's cube. Then it derides McCain for not knowing how to use a computer or send E-mail. It says, "Things have changed since then, but McCain hasn't." This ad was approved by Barack Obama, and it...

Obama Blogger says McCain should “pay a deserved visit to the undertaker.” Obama blogs blood libel U.S. and Israel. Every voter over sixty or so needs to see this, and we encourage our readers to copy and circulate this piece. We have also added a list of anti-American and/or anti-Israel blood libels from Obama’s campaign site and his hate-spewing pastor. Key talking points are as follows: (1) my.barackobama.com is under the editorial control of the Obama campaign. (2) The page in question has a link for reporting objectionable material. Either no one in the Obama community felt that a suggestion...

It is very amusing to see the Bomber Mccain mouthing Barack on issues that do not have any relationship to addressing the mountain of issues created for the American people by his party, the Republican party. The last time I checked, the Republican party, with an incompetent Republican president, is still in the White House. This is a glimpse to the type of "HOPELESS" campaign the bomber is going to engage henceforth since he has admitted he does not know anything about the economy or the issues faced by the American people (mortgage, cost of education, healthcare, jobs and so...

The Nation -- Liberal smarties and sophisticates are having fun mocking John McCain , but assuming he gets the nomination, he will a formidable candidate. He may look like a grumpy old man -- specifically, as my friend Kathleen Geier joked, the grumpy old man who yells at kids to get off his lawn -- or the nutty old uncle who rags on everyone at Thanksgiving before passing out in front of the football game. But that's another way of saying McCain is a familiar, indeed family, character. It does not require an imaginative stretch to get John McCain. How...

A state appeals court reinstated a fired manager's age-discrimination suit against Google Inc. on Thursday, saying a jury should hear his evidence that a supervisor told him that his ideas were "too old to matter" and that the giant search engine company gave its older employees lower ratings and lesser bonuses. The Sixth District Court of Appeal in San Jose overturned a Santa Clara County judge's dismissal of a damage suit by Brian Reid, who was hired by the Mountain View firm in 2002 as director of operations and director of engineering. He was demoted in October 2003 and fired...
