Sorry, have to correct this:

There is no known person living today who was born before 1900.

Seems strange doesn't it?
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

It's a conspiracy. Or the Law.

Back to the topic. Censorship.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

To be fair, that we know about.
True, that. A lady who babysat us kids (and my mother's generation as well) died a few years back. We realized that no one knew when she was born, or how old she was. Some births were not recorded if you go back far enough, and she was 'old' when she babysat mom...who was born well before WWII.

That's what I mean, alright... I know an old hillbilly grandmother that does not know how old she is... wasn't born in a hospital, never got a social security number, Hasn't been off the mountain in my whole lifetime... She's older than dirt. Certainly over 100... I ain't saying she is that old, but I can't say that she ain't, either...  :shrug:

That article is from 2016. She died in 2017.

I believe the oldest now was born in 1903.
Oops. My bad.

I ran across her while looking, too, but then found the other lady.

Women outlive men, as a rule, and the oldest guy is a German, Gustav Gerneth, born in 1905.

My grandmother lived to 101, and my folks are still alive (in their upper 80s).

Maternal grandfather passed just short of 80, but my paternal grandparents reached 84 (grandad) and 95 (Grandmother).

I was so surprised to make 30, I actually started behaving better....

I didn't make it past 19. The Peter Pan Principle. I'll never grow up. But when I hit 35 I took a truckload of my crap to the dump. FWIW, I didn't expect to live past 30.

The Limey nailed it!  I especially like the part about the real Nazi's flying overhead his Mums house during the battle of Briton.

This is what happens when woke goes terribly wrong.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
