I'm So Old I Remember When A Politician Even Talked About Fooling With Social Security They Were Voted Out Of Office
With the inevitability of the president’s early morning tweets, conservatives are spinning the 2018 Social Security Trustees report as a death knell for the program. Unless, that is, Congress and the president have the “courage” to “reform” this “entitlement.” By “reform,” fiscal hawks really mean raising the Social Security retirement age to 69 or 70, cutting benefits, and reducing retirees’ cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs).
Here’s what the Trustees actually reported: If Congress takes no action whatsoever, the Social Security trust fund will become depleted in 2034, at which time the system could still pay 79 percent of benefits.

Comey `Insubordinate' in Clinton Probe, Inspector General Finds





NOTICE:
The power was off most of this morning, so I have just a couple of memes instead of my normal edition. Deep apologies for any humor inconveniences. Barring any further interruption, I will post a new edition tomorrow.


Since the power was off I called a taxi and went to a nearby fruit market this morning. Below is a photo with me holding a pipas fria (cold pipes) which is ice cold coconut milk fresh out of the green coconut. The cashier took a small machete and hacked the end of the coconut off and stuck a straw in it.

Costa Rican authorities seized 406 kilos of cocaine that were hidden in a container in a vessel that originated in the Colombian port of Turbo, authorities reported Sunday.
The shipment was found in during an inspection by anti-narcotics agents. The vessel arrived on Friday bearing a “Nederland Reefer” Bahamas flag, according to a news released from the Public Security Ministry.
