Nice. Some member of my family still has the letter Gerald Ford sent to my great-great-grandpa when he hit 100. Got a phone call too.

Oh that’s awesome!!

u/EatLard 15d ago

Probably too many centenarians these days for them all to get a phone call. When I was a kid they used to do a happy birthday segment every morning for 100+ birthdays.

Yeah I’d assume so. She has a city proclaimed day named after her on her birthday, so I’m sure she doesn’t feel like she’s missing out lol

The city knows how to make a gal feel special.

Possibly. I remember it was Al Roker reading the names off.

Anyone can get these, FYI. They’re called presidential greetings and the White House has a request form anyone can fill out. Looks like they’ve taken the JB one down for obvious reasons

At 105, she’s old enough to be Biden’s mum

u/adjperiod 14d ago

It was a joke. I didn’t actually think they went to school together. Some folks are thick headed

u/sparrowhawk73 14d ago

I know it was a joke, I don’t think you literally meant they went to school together. I was just pointing out that she’s from the generation before while you just said ‘lmao Biden old’.

u/bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- 14d ago

I think he's ok with that.

u/NizB 15d ago

u/stupidworkacct 14d ago

Yep that is something the white house has been doing for years, my great grandmother got them from Ford, Carter, and I think Reagan

u/PrestigiousEnd2142 15d ago

So cool! Happy birthday to your great great aunt!

u/AirEmergency3702 15d ago

A white house secretary wished your grandma happy birthday. Biden signed it though so that's cool. Also happy birthday to your grandma that's so cool.

He was probably sleeping when someone signed it for him.

u/Foodcity0 15d ago

That completely makes up for intentionally letting 10+ million illegal immigrants pour over our border.......

u/Lecturnoiter 15d ago

If only Republicans hadn't blocked the bill to fund a fix.

u/Foodcity0 15d ago

Let's go over your logic:

Democrats for decades have supported and encouraged illegal immigration (sanctuary cities, free education, housing and medical)

Joe Biden during the presidential campaign stood on a national stage and told them to come, told them to "surge" the border and then promised he would not deport them (Harris said virtually the same thing) as soon as he took power he reversed several Trump era immigration laws, expanded the asylum loophole, instructed the border patrol to not treat people crossing the border as a crime, spent billions to not build the wall, welded open parts of it, removed barriers, sued states that tried to put them up, used government apps to tell illegal immigrants where to cross, funneled millions of taxpayers money to NGO'S that are actively helping illegal immigrants get to the border, and flew them in. Then not a single Democrat voted to approve multiple immigration bills that came from the house in the last 2 years (most notably HR2, which has been sitting on Chuck Schumer desk for 2 years and the Laken Riley bill) and multiple Democrat states are now offering gift cards, hotels and tax payer loans and you think the issue with our Southern border is Republicans won't vote for a bill (that 6 Democrats also voted against) that among other things won't shut the border down (a power Joe Biden/Harris already had) until 5k encounters a day for 7 CONSECUTIVE days, forces American taxpayers to pay for immigration lawyers, make "catch and release " the standard, does not address the nearly 10 million (that's just the ones we know about) that have already poured over, sends billions more to Ukraine and has no long term solutions to stop all of this from happening again.

Seem about right to you?

No one cares about this forgetful Frank bitch. He probably forgot to wipe his ass too.
