Chuck Schumer is 75 years old. He cannot adequately relate to younger generations. The average retirement age is 65. Schumer is a decade past that. Itโs a different world and we deserve leadership that understands this.

The guards in North Vietnam's prison camps had a nickname for one young American sailor: The Incredibly Stupid One.
In August 1969, they sent him home. It backfired on them. He walked out with the names of about 256 American prisoners hidden in his head, set to the tune of Old MacDonald Had a Farm.
Doug Hegdahl was a 20-year-old Seaman Apprentice from Clark, South Dakota. Before dawn on April 6, 1967, he stepped onto the deck of the cruiser USS Canberra while she was firing on the coast in the Gulf of Tonkin.
"All I know is, I walked up on the deck, it was dark and they were firing, and the next thing I recall I was in the water."
He floated for hours. Vietnamese fishermen pulled him out. On his own ship, the morning muster came up one man short. The crew searched twice and concluded he had gone over the side.
His captors refused to believe anyone falls off a warship by accident. They beat him as a spy.
So he gave them what they wanted to see. He told them he could not read or write. When an interrogator asked what he wanted most, he said, "Why, I'd like a pillow, Sir."
They stopped worrying about him. They handed him a broom and let him sweep the camp.
Every yard he swept was a chance to learn another name.
An Air Force prisoner named Joe Crecca taught him how to memorize. Name. Date of capture. How he was captured. A dog's name, a kid's name, a Social Security number, anything a family could check. Verse after verse, he sang it to himself until it stuck.
He also went after the camp trucks with a little dirt in the fuel tanks. Five of them stopped running.
The prisoners lived by a rule: nobody accepts early release while his brothers stay behind. Hegdahl did not want to go. His senior officer, Lt. Cmdr. Richard Stratton, made it an order. As Stratton later explained it:
"You are the most junior. You have the names."
On August 5, 1969, the North Vietnamese released him as a propaganda gesture. Back home, he sang the list to American officials. Families who had been told their sons were missing learned they were alive.
The next year he flew to Paris and confronted North Vietnam's delegation over the treatment of American prisoners. Stratton later believed it helped keep him alive.
They called him the dumbest man in the camp.
He carried more than 250 families home inside a nursery rhyme.

๐จ HABBA CHARGED! Trump attorney Alina Habba is facing formal ethics charges in New Jersey that could put her law license at risk.
The New Jersey Supreme Courtโs Office of Attorney Ethics accuses Habba of serious misconduct involving a 21-year-old employee at Trumpโs Bedminster golf club who alleged sexual harassment.
According to the complaint, Habba helped broker a $15,000 settlement containing an illegal nondisclosure agreement. Investigators allege she had a conflict of interest, misled the employee about her role, and devalued the womanโs case. Habba and Trumpโs golf club ultimately paid the employee a combined $400,000.
And thatโs not all.
The New York Times reports that Habba was also FIRED last week from a lucrative $50 million contract for alleged โfailure to perform duties.โ She will reportedly keep $6.5 million in salary and an $8 million signing bonus. The firing came days after Times reporting about the arrangement reportedly triggered an angry outburst from Trump.
Habba, whose tenure as Trumpโs acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey was ruled unlawful by federal courts, now faces a disciplinary proceeding that could threaten her law license.
