I just watched “Out of the Past” (1947) starring Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer. I’ve seen parts of it before, but tonight was the first time I saw it from beginning to end. It’s a classic film noir selection with exactly that type of story line, and I loved it thoroughly.

Overall, I viewed older people with respect, didn't begin to find them very relatable until I was well into adulthood, even approaching middle-age. The older I get, the more I've realize that making assumptions about people based on their age is foolish and robs us of opportunities to learn from people both much older and much younger than ourselves. less

He bought the only lawyer who would work for him. A 4th rate South Carolina nobody. Over 60 lawsuits were derided decried and dumped. The intellectual level of anyone associated with the former oval office occupant is immeasurable. Not because it exceeds but because it is barely visible at the bottom line. And the braggarts continue on. And the delusional march on. Do you pity them? less

Bet he never once attacked a GOLD STAR family or insulted a military hero even after he was dead as the former oval office occupant repeatedly did to Senator JOHN McCAIN.Also bet the former occupant of the white house never ever had or will ever have a hero son who died.Anytime gonna take my bet?

Real good job. Now you focused attention on yourselves. Smart move. Atta way atta way atta way.What can I say? Ya gotta admire them for that. Most vile groups don't want to draw attention to themselves. These vile? Senile? Revile? Beats me what they thought they were gonna reap when they sowed their "OATS and beans and barley grow" in the Capitol on January 6. They did not know that what they sow will grow.
