The Left is a treasonous, corrupt, an- ti-moral bunch of idiots. The Green New Deal is a bunch of B.S. with the anti-American idiots getting billions by pro- moting it. Led by a bunch of politicians like Biden, Pelosi and don't forget the coward, John Kerr y. There are also those on the Republican side that need to be voted out. These traitors from both parties are out only to keep their selves in power and enrich their group. Get out and vote if you want to keep America free. Vote and demand term limits. If you want to loose your freedom and a wonderful country, do nothing. The Green Deal - think about it. They claim it will clean up the environment. They can't produce enough power with windmills and solar panels, don't have the electrical grid to transport power, will take an enormous amount of productive farm ground out of ser vice in a world short on food and don't have rare earth materials they need for production of electric vehicle fleet. The average life of solar panels is about 30 years. Bat- teries have limited life as well. Windmills wear out, too. All these items have to be dis- posed of. These all have toxic materials in them. This isn't even taking into consideration the enormous cost to a countr y already broke. Again, if you want sky- high gasoline, natural gas, electrical, home heating and cooling, and all other costs, do nothing. Ever y product you buy is going to continue to increase from shipping costs due to high fuel prices. Most all of this high cost inflation is man made by the polices of greed and power hungr y politicians. Do it in a responsible way, but use our resources the good Lord blessed us with. Use common sense. Then there's the other stupids, like border law and order, Afghanistan and etc. Carol Thomas I'm 78 and still working; should I apply for Social Security? Dear Rusty: I am 78, still working, have a good health- care plan and I make a nice salar y. Can I still get my So- cial Security check since I paid into it all these years? Signed: Still Working in My 70s. Dear Still Working: You not only can get your Social Secu- rity check now, I recommend you apply for it as soon as possible. Regardless of your current earnings, you'll not suffer any penalty because you are still working. That's because you stopped being subject to Social Security's "earnings test" when you reached your full retirement age (FRA) of 66 some years ago. Indeed, your Social Se- curity benefit continued to grow until you reached 70 years of age, at which point it reached your maximum ben- efit, which is 32 percent more than your benefit would have been at age 66. Since your benefit reached maximum some years ago at age 70, and since working now won't hurt your payment amount, you should claim your benefits immedi- ately. You should also ask for six months of retro- active benefits. Although your benefit stopped growing at age 70 and you're now 78, Social Security will only pay up to six months of retro- active benefits, thus you have lost some of your benefits by waiting until age 78 to claim. You can apply for your benefits either by calling SS at your local office or the na- tional Social Security ser vice center at 1.800.772.1213 to make an appointment to ap- ply, or you can apply online at www.ssa.gov/retire. Applying online is by far the most effi- cient method, but you'll need to first create your personal "my Social Security" online account to do so (simply go to www.ssa.gov/ myaccount and follow the in- structions). Since you're still working, and assuming you have "cred- itable" health- care coverage from your employer, you can delay en- rolling in Medicare until you stop working ("creditable" coverage is a group plan with at least 20 participants). If you haven't yet enrolled in Medi- care and you've had cred- itable healthcare coverage since you were 65, you will not incur a late enrollment penalty for enrolling in Medi- care now, but you can also continue to defer enrolling in Medicare without penalty if your employer coverage is "creditable." I strongly encourage you to apply for your Social Security benefits as soon as possible, because you will continue to lose money by delaying fur- ther. You will still get credit for your current earnings even after you start your So- cial Security benefits and, if appropriate because of your recent earnings, your benefit amount will be automatical- ly increased, so there is no reason to delay claiming So- cial Security any longer. You earned your Social Security benefits, you aren't subject to a penalty because you're still working, and you'll continue to get credit for your current earnings while still working, so you should apply for your Social Security benefits as soon as possible.

Court Report Letter to the Editor Social Security Matters By Rusty Gloor protecting life, strengthen- ing our Second Amendment right to bear arms and bol- stering parents' ability to choose where to send their children to school are over- whelmingly in the interests of minority Americans. In a nutshell, where the cru- cial battle for minority voters has been lost over the years is allowing these voters to believe that freedom is not in their interest. Ironically, the Civil Rights Movement was about free- dom. It then got diverted by the left to big government and socialism. In order to get the nation moving again, we need all Americans on board. We need to get the crucial message of freedom to our minority citi- zens.
