Those excuses for ignorance went out when the internet came in. My dad died a couple of years back aged 85 and he kept up to speed on the news using an I-pad as does my 94 year old aunt so the idea that if you are old you can't be informed outside of the lies told by the lame stream media and so shouldn't be held to account for supporting evil doesn't wash with me. You have a republic ....... if you can keep it. Those people who do not inform themselves of the obvious lies they are being fed, obvious because all you need is a memory longer than a day or so to spot them, is not helping to support the republic and therefore are indeed traitors just as Bondi, Patel and Bongino are for quite openly swearing allegiance to a foreign genocidal nation. You didn't even need the internet to tell you that treason is afoot as the lame stream "news" on all channels showed them saying it.

True to a point. I am over 90, and although a democrat for more years than I want to remember, I switched. We need to primary a lot of rinos also.

How many seniors do you think know how to use the internet and research things?

More than you think! Many of us have to learn how to use a computer first. I was in my 80s and had one given to me ''for entertainment'' while my sons were at work. I had a terrible teacher - myself. Learned by trial and error. But I do know some oldsters who ''don't want to be bothered'' but there's ways to get around that. I keep files on my computer and while ''casually talking'' I'll nonchalantly drop a bit of the news of the day. When told "no way", I tell them I can prove it. My laptop has lots of links on it. Those that just play games on their laptops, I email info. Others can read it on my laptop. A few wake up, but some don't care because they don't expect to be here to see it change. But then, I'm a stubborn old biddy.

I'm glad for that! but I've met just as many, or more, who don't want to start the daunting process. As a lawyer, I've met so many older lawyers who can't do electronic legal research (which is much better), because they don't feel they can learn it, they don't have time for the learning curve, etc. They have to hire people like me who can use it, write memorandums for them and then they take it from there. It is a real handicap and I've seen a lot of it out there.

I have a future daughter-in-law just graduated law school in Uganda. We've been trying to bring her here for better than 2 years. She wants to specialize in Family or Corporate Law. Right now she and another girl are doing research for other attorneys. Is that what she means by Paralegal? What would be the best way to get her here? Once we get her here we can help her get a toehold.

They need an immigration attorney. That's all I know. I never did this particular work. Paralegal work varies, but it can be researching for attorneys, getting their files ready for court, assembling evidence, labeling it, etc. It's good experience. I imagine she will need to do something to make her law degree from Uganda equivalent to the US law degrees. She should look into that.

Thanks, that's what my son said
