WHY THE V.A. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED

Yes, Obama did say when he was running for the Presidency that there was a big problem with V.A. medical care and that he pledged to fix it if elected President.  So, why didn't he? 

Shortly after his inauguration, Obama proposed that veterans pay for their own medical care and buy their own medical insurance, and that the V.A. should be the payer of last resort.  That caused outrage from the VFW, American Legion and other veterans organizations.  Obama had to back off.  

I've said before that Obama wants his own way and, if he doesn't get it, he gets even; someone always pays a price.  I also said that the fact that the V.A. was not repaired appeared to me to be deliberate, but I couldn't figure out why.  Now it becomes clear: that was his way of getting even.  

He removed any concern with the V.A. problem from his agenda.   There was no longer any sense of urgency, any commitment to get the job done. 

Doesn't that make sense?

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION respectfully submitted. 

DO YOU SUFFER FROM IMPOTENCY?

Here we sit, impotent.  Here we sit, jawboning about the fact that we have an American Marine sitting in a filthy Mexican jail, subjected to beatings and God knows what else... and that's it.  That's all we're going to do is... jawbone.  Wring our hands.  Please pass the buns.   

Sleep well, tonight.  Who really cares whether or not HE sleeps well?  I mean, what's the rush in getting him back, anyway; he can't get any medical treatment at the V.A. for a few months.  Maybe... perhaps Obama could intervene and see if Shinseki might be able to give the guy a line pass when... and if... he does come back.  Yawn. 

Okay, now I need the butter and... WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE CHANGE THIS FRICKIN' CHANNEL?

AMERICANS ARE THE PROBLEM

SPECIAL POST

You've heard the old saying: "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."  Well, folks, we do have a problem and the problem is you.  The problem is you, because you have not been part of the solution. 

Think about it: You are the one who is responsible for those American vets who died waiting for medical treatment.  You are the one who is responsible for the fact that we do not have answers on Fast & Furious, for the fact that our Attorney General was held in Contempt of Congress and never called to task over it, for the I.R.S. targeting, for the N.S.A. domestic spying, for the failure of our press and media to tell us the news like it really is instead of how they want us to hear it... you are the ones responsible for those four deaths in Benghazi and the countless number of veterans who have died because they didn't get treatment. 

Why is that?  Why is it your responsibility? 

This government is yours.  It belongs to the people.  If you refuse... refuse... to exercise your duty and responsibility as an American citizen by holding Congress and the President accountable for their deeds or lack of them, then you are responsible for what goes wrong.  It's just that simple.  

You don't like the way the government is being run?  You're the government.  You have the tools to correct the problem.  You have a phone?  You have Email?  You have a FAX?  You have a piece of paper, an envelope and a postage stamp? 

Send your Senators and Representatives a message.  Tell them you're angry as hell about all of this.  Ask them when they're going to fix it.  Tell them to cut the bullshit speeches and political posturing and fix the damn problems.  If they hear from enough of us, they will get the problems fixed.  Don't put this simple task off until after dinner or after the video game... do it now.  

When you go to bed tonight, how will you be able to sleep if one more veteran dies because he or she did not get treatment... because you didn't act? 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

I AGREE: THIS PRESIDENT IS THE WRONG COLOR

SPECIAL POST

Senator Jay Rockefeller came out last week and said the problem with Americans is that they think Obama is the wrong color.  

Well, Senator, I'm sure citizens of West Virginia are glad to see you are retiring, probably because there's no one left in West Virginia who would vote for you.  That having been said, I have to admit that you're absolutely correct. 

Where I come from, after my ancestors were all here in the 1600's and after they all worked their collective buns off to create this country and to establish our government and invent what was once the greatest country in the world until assholes like you came along, is that Presidents of this country have traditionally been red, white and blue true-blooded Americans who did everything possible in every moment, in every instance to build this nation and keep it strong.  

Yes, sir.  Obama is the wrong color.  He's fascist red.

MORE B..S. ~ HOLDER TO "INVESTIGATE" V.A.?

SPECIAL POST

The Democrats are at it again.  Eric Holder has been assigned to investigate Fast & Furious and that's now in the Court system because he refused to turn over documents or answer a House Subpoena.  He was held in Contempt of Congress for that and logically should be removed from office.  

The Department of Justice was secretly, and illegally, monitoring members of the Associated Press and FOX NEWS, trying to figure out where they were getting the  information for their stories so they could put a stop to it.  That scandal "investigation" is now at a dead end.

I.R.S. targeting scandal?  Assigned to Holder to "investigate," it went nowhere.  Benghazi Massacre?  N.S.A. monitoring?  All of them were given to Holder to "investigate" and we have delay, cover-up, failure to investigate... you name it. 

So now the Dems want Holder to "investigate" the V.A. Medical scandal.  

Ladies and gentlemen: IF THIS ISN'T TYRANNY, WHAT IS?  
Why should be be putting up with this B.S.?  Lives are being lost, right now!

A NOT-SO-HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

How many of these were on "wait lists?"

A NOT SO HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

IN AMERICAN HISTORY

V.A. SPEECH: OBAMA COMES UP SHORT...AGAIN

SPECIAL POST

It was a familiar speech, heard many times in the past as scandal after scandal after scandal has erupted from this wayward Administration: "We'll investigate it."  There were no apologies, no promises to fix it, no deadlines for action.  

In the meanwhile, lives continue to be lost as the delays continue to exist.

What about those whose names were on external lists not in the computer?  They don't know that; they don't know that their names have now been shredded; they don't know that they need to call the V.A. back for an appointment.  And WE don't know if there is really any sense of urgency or not.  

All we do know about Obama's intentions are what he said today: "I've done a great job in working with veterans and their families and blahhhh, blah, blah, blah."  He neglected to discuss his prior insistence, back in 2009, that veterans pay for their own medical care.  He failed to address the fact that he and his Administration have been aware of these problems since before they took office and have not responded.  

"If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful, and I will not tolerate it, period."  Period as in ObamaCare "period?"  Period as in "If you want to keep your plan, you can keep it?  If you want to keep your doctor, you can keep him... period?"

If Shinseki is so great, as everyone claims he is, why hasn't he either resolved the issue or taken it to Congress?  It seems to me that, since they knew about the problem back in 2008 and have not done anything yet to fix it, that the failure to fix it is deliberate on the part of both Shinseki and the President.  

This is criminal negligence resulting in the deaths of American veterans.  And still no orders to stop it?  No overtime to reduce the backlog?  No reviews by efficiency experts to really get to the bottom of it?  Just another, "We're gonna investigate it?"  Just more lip service?


If I can contain myself and be polite about it, as an American veteran I will say:  "This is bullshit.  Pure, unadulterated bullshit.  Period."

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN HURT YOU

SPECIAL POST

Do you think you, as a parent, should have a right to see what information your school system has regarding your children? Think again.  

John Eppolito from Lake Tahoe got a  real surprise when he tried to find out what information the school district was keeping on his four children.  They at first told him they could not produce the information, but finally relented and told him it would cost him over $10,000 to find out.  Eppolito is concerned about the Common Core education program and is trying to find out what information is maintained by the school system.  

Eppolito wonders why the state is collecting data that parents can't even view.  “This data is for everyone except the parents," Eppolito said. "It’s wrong.”  

Well, John, I hate to tell you this, but N.S.A., the F.B.I. and the D.O.J. won't tell you what information they have on you, either.  You see, if you find out what they know about you, then how can they use that information against you if they want to control what you say and do? 

Is this what you voted for when you voted for Obama?

V.A.: TOO BIG TO FIX?

SPECIAL POST

It oozed out like a bad case of E.P.A. prohibited cow flatulence yesterday that the problems at the V.A. Hospitals have been ongoing since at least 2001.  Some pundits, sympathetic to the Obama Administration, tried to say the problem was therefore not Obama's, but that it was Bush's.  Well, it may have originated during the Bush Administration, or even the Clinton Administration, but here's another fact that "oozed out" yesterday: Bush Administration officials warned Obama Administration officials that the problem existed during the transition back in 2008/2009 and the Obama Administration chose to ignore it.  That, my friends, is a deliberate dereliction of duty to American vets.  

You can measure the costs in tens of millions of dollars in V.A. settlements, but here are the real costs:

• 1,100 deaths due to delayed treatment since 2001

• 867 documented malpractice settlements

In the face of these facts, the new story coming out of the Administration is that yes, they did know about the problem, but that it was "too big to fix."  How do you reconcile that statement with the "too big to fail" excuse for bank bailouts in 2009?  How can the V.A. problem be "too big to fix?"  

WHAT ARROGANCE!!!  1,100 deaths of American vets?  This is beyond the pale.  It is criminal negligence resulting in death. 


I vote with California Representative Doug LaMalfa on this, even more so.  I say we should close V.A. hospitals... get rid of them completely.  Give every qualified vet a special health identification card and allow the vet to go to a doctor and hospital of his choice; let the V.A. then pay the bill.  Not only will that fix the problem, but it will save millions of dollars in administrative and operating costs as well as saving lives of our American vets. 

No, the problem is not too big to fix and I don't want to hear this frickin' excuse when ObamaCare resorts to the same delaying tactics, deaths and malpractice lawsuits. As much as I hate to say it, I do agree with Senator John McCain in this instance: Someone needs to go to jail... someone in the White House. 

I'm madder than hell.  It's now time to get even.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

MEANWHILE, BACK TO FAST & FURIOUS

SPECIAL POST

Lost in the flurry of I.R.S. emails, Benghazi committees and the V.A. scandal was the news last week that the U.S. District Judge overseeing the federal lawsuit regarding the claim of Executive Privilege over Fast & Furious documents believes the claim is valid. But, she hasn't ruled yet.  

You may recall that Congress was after documents regarding the botched Fast & Furious gun-running scandal down in Texas and Attorney General Eric Holder was refusing to pony them up.  Congress was rightfully concerned that the program might have originated with Holder or even higher up the ladder; the belief was, and still is in many quarters, that the Administration came up with the idea of having border gun shops sell illegal weapons to Mexicans so that they could be "caught" and used as a reason to close down gun shops across the U.S. 

The House did not appreciate Holder's refusal to cooperate, so they held him in Contempt of Congress.  This means that Holder could have been impeached and removed from office and the documents would have to be released, but Obama interjected and exerted "Executive Privilege," meaning they didn't have to turn the documents over if they didn't want to.  Congress sued and that's where we're at.  

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has indicated she believes that the Executive Privilege claim is legitimate and can be used by Obama even though the entire BATF operation was within Holder's department.  Now comes the question: Will the Congressional subpoena for the documents over rule the claim of Executive Privilege?  

Stay tuned as the drama mounts and she is expected to make a decision soon.

ANOTHER FEDERAL LAND DISPUTE

It seems that the Federal agencies are bound and detrmined to undermine anything and everything to do with ranching and farming in the country.  The E.P.A. wants to regulate cow flatulence and impose fines.  The B.L.M. and the U.S.D.A. Forest Service want all vacant land in the country to be theirs and all farmers and ranchers to dry up and blow away.  

The latest tiff is in Otero County, New Mexico where cattle are dying due to thirst, while the Forest Service has fenced off a spring claiming that the meadow jumping mouse is in danger.  The sheriff, to his credit, ordered deputies to open up the fence and allow cattle to get water. “We are reacting to the infringement of the U.S. Forest Service on the water rights of our land-allotment owners,” Otero County Commissioner Tommie Herrell says.  “People have been grazing there since 1956.”  

“The winds are blowing, we’re in a drought. Sacramento Mountains are dry. So whatever water sources these animals can find, they have to be able to get to it,” fellow commissioner Susan Flores echoes.  

At least they've been talking and the Forest Service says they don't see things escalating into another B.L.M. ~ Cliven Bundy confrontation.  Well, I'd bet 1,000 meadow jumping mice that there WOULD have been a confrontation if the B.L.M. ~ Bundy thing had not preceded the current standoff.  

Our government is running roughshod over the country, with agencies and departments that lie, coverup, obfuscate, over-regulate and oppress resistance.  Americans need to start doing right now what I have been diligently doing for over five years... speaking out to their friends and neighbors through blogs, social media, text messages and even, (gasp) face-to-face.  We need to stop this radicalization of our country and we need to do it in November through sending a clear message to Washington that we've had enough, by turning a whole bunkhouse full of culprits out of office.

MORE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE

SPECIAL POST

Just when you think that U.S. foreign relations could not possibly be in worse shape, a new dump truck full of trouble comes around the corner.  With the U.S. suddenly no longer interested in being a major power, there is a power vacuum.  The laws of physics will tell you that when a vacuum exists, something always tries to fill it; in this case, there is a budding relationship in Chinese and Russian relations as they jointly seek to fill that power vacuum.  

Relations between the countries went sour back in 1954, but they are now warming up to each other.  It is entirely possible, at lest in the short term, that the relationship will bud into their joint dominance of the world stage.  Won't that just be a fine kettle of stew? 

In the meanwhile, Obama has America's head planted firmly in the sand.

ANOTHER BLM FIASCO?

SPECIAL POST

Recreation enthusiasts in southeastern Utah are ticked off that the BLM has denied access for four-wheelers and others on federal land near Blanding.  The BLM says that the area and ancient, historic Native American sites have been degraded by too much land traffic in recent years.  

Protesters want the BLM to act more quickly on their demands to renew access for their four-wheelers; hiking and horseback riding are currently allowed.  There was an organized and peaceful protest in Blanding, but some of the crowd rode their four-wheelers onto the land anyway; one of those is alleged to be Ryan Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy at the now famous Bundy Ranch.  

According to Fox News, about 30 deputies and a handful of BLM law enforcement personnel observed the protest, organized by San Juan County commissioner Phil Lyman.  BLM has said they consider the general nature of the protest to be peaceful, but still intend to chase down and charge those involved with the illegal entry.  

Based on the facts as presented, I'm going to stand on the side of the BLM this time.  It does not appear to me that this is anything like a phony case of a non-existent desert tortoise decline or a land scheme designed to make some Chinese investors and their American representatives rich.  Instead, it appears to me that the BLM is legitimately trying to preserve historical archaeological sites of Native American origin.  

How would you like it if the Native Americans started wandering through Gettysburg or Arlington on their four-wheelers?  If the facts are indeed as stated, either the State of Utah or the Federal government should turn the land in question into a protected park... or, better yet, put it back in the hands of the Native Americans.

RUSSIA THREATENS U.S.

SPECIAL POST

I always felt it was only a matter of time:Putin is now firmly in charge of the world situation.  

It all started when Obama played the pussy-foot game with North Korea and Iran over their nuclear weapon s programs; I think that's when Putin started to realize that our President was no Ronald Reagan or Jack Kennedy or Harry Truman or Dwight Eisenhower.  The confirmation came when Obama drew the infamous "red line" in Syria and then crapped his pants when Assad called his bluff.  Putin surely must have delighted in that moment, because it confirmed what he suspected: Obama is a left-wing, radical socialist weenie. 

"Well," Obama thundered when Russia invaded Crimea, "we're just going to have to put some sanctions against Russia."  And then, as Putin ignores Obama and starts refusing to take his telephone calls, as Putin prepares to take all of the Eastern Ukraine, now Obama has a snit fit and threatens that the "sanctions" are going to get really snotty. 

You certainly must have anticipated the Russian response: "Back off there tin-horn, or we're no longer allowing your astronauts into the International Space Station and we're no longer going to make rocket engines for your space ships." They've even threatened to shut down part of our GPS system.  

Well now, Mr. Smart Ass in the White House, what are you going to do next?  Do you have any more great punts left in your arsenal?

A REAL EYE OPENER

SPECIAL POST

We should all be outraged at the way the Veteran's Administration is treating our vets... delaying treatment, hiding lists, cutting benefits.  These men and women served our country; whether not we agree with the battles they fought, they fought and they put their lives on the line for us.  For us to now turn our collective backs on them in their times of need is unconscionable. 

Having said that, what we are discovering portends where we are going with ObamaCare.  Just look at what people are discovering right now: what they thought they were covered for, they are not; they can't see their doctor because he's either retired or not "on the plan;" the available hospital is full; they're too old to be having this type of surgery.  If it is already that bad, how long will it take before the providers and hospitals have their own "hidden lists?"  

ObamaCare is to a large extent modeled after the V.A.  If you can live with this, if you can allow your parents to die on the vine because they can't get care or afford the deductibles, if you are willing to see your child suffer in pain because he or she can't get treatment right now when it's needed... then you come from a wholly different way of thinking than I do.  

We're allowing our veterans to be screwed and we're setting ourselves up to be screwed.  If we really want to do something about it, we have a whole bunch of politicians to turn out of office in November.

WHY?

SPECIAL POST

If it is true that there is nothing more in the story about the Benghazi Massacre, why are the Democrats doing everything in the world to torpedo hearings into the matter?  Why, if there is nothing to hide, wouldn't they show up on the Select Committee so that they could gloat at the end results?  Why, if there is nothing to hide, have they prevented key witnesses who were in Libya at the time from testifying, to the point of refusing to divulge their current whereabouts so that they could be subpoenaed?  

Why the manufactured cover story about the video in the first place?  Why did they put Susan Rice out to dry over her insistence that the massacre was a result of that video?  Why did they say that all emails regarding the subject had been turned over, when at least several had not?  Why wasn't Obama in the Situation Room; did he not want to be associated with what was coming down?  Why not?  

Why have they acted in obvious collusion... the State Department, the F.B.I., the C.I.A., the Pentagon and the White House to obfuscate and prevent a complete investigation to be had?  Why haven't they arrested or captured any of those who attacked the Consulate?  Why did they "fire" involved personnel in the State Department and then hire them back? 

Why didn't they send military assets into Benghazi to attempt a rescue or defense of those being slaughtered? 

I want to know... WHY?  WHY?  WHY? 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

NORTH KOREA ATTACKS OBAMA

The North Koreans issued a dispatch the other day; written in Korean, it went after both the South Korean President and Obama.  A recent translation: "It would be better for him to live with other monkeys at a wild animal park in Africa ... and licking bread crumbs thrown by onlookers."  The lengthy diatribe called Obama a “clown,” a “dirty fellow” and somebody who “does not even have the basic appearances of a human being.”  

Well, as difficult as it is, let's set aside for the moment the proposition that the North Koreans might be correct.  It's one thing to rattle your saber and jump up and down like a little tyrant and threaten to nuke America.  That repeated stance by Kim Jong Un has had little or no reaction in official Washington; Obama has even refused to discuss North Korea's acquisition of nuclear technology and past bomb tests.  

Why then is every State Department official and White House flunky now coming unglued over this latest barrage of remarks directed at Obama?  Are they trying to tell us that it's okay for North Korea to threaten to nuke the United States, but it's not okay for them to insult President Obama?  

So the saying actually goes: "Sticks and stones will never hurt me, but words will?"

WHITE HOUSE MIGHT REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH SELECT COMMITTEE

Press Secretary Jay Carney has refused to answer multiple questions about whether or not the White House will comply with requests for information or subpoenas from the new House Select Committee created to investigate the Benghazi Massacre.  "We have a long history of cooperating with [legitimate] oversight by Congress...I'm not going to go further than that," Carney repeatedly said, defaulting to the statement after repeated questioning on the subject. 

Look for the two words, "Executive Privilege" to become the new theme song of the White House Brigade.

Here are two people speaking out about what is going on in two different states with respect to educational issues.  In both cases, the person speaking out got arrested and charged for what really was non-violent protest.   

I'm outraged.  Since when in this country has it become illegal to say what you think in a public meeting or a public forum?  Since when in this country has it become an offense to question the authority or the propriety of the public servant?   These people "in charge" have no clue as to the fact that WE are in charge, and if THEY don't like it, THEY need to pack their damn bags and get out of the picture.  

Oh, and in case you hadn't figured it out, I will say whatever it is that is on my mind in any public meeting or forum and I don't give a damned who likes it or who doesn't.  This is America.  We have a Constitution.  It has a Fifth Amendment.  Get over it or get out of the way.

THE PAIN OF IT ALL

SPECIAL POST

I used to think there was nothing worse than a bad toothache or an attack of the gout.  In terms of level of pain, they are both about the same to me... intolerable.  Laying there in bed in the drugged aftermath of a tooth extraction, I tried to watch TV, but kept dozing off; yet, every time I jerked myself back into consciousness I heard some bad tale about what is going wrong with our country.  

I guess there IS something more painful than a toothache or gout attack.   

Obama simply will not give his agenda a rest.  Faced with growing angst about his dirty deeds of the past five years, this man has his own audacity and the hope of converting America into a totally, 100% socialist fascist state.  He has foisted his takeover of the health industry and 1/6 of the nations economy on what was an unwitting public and what is now an unwilling public.  He's told lies and made broken promises; he's flouted the law including the laws he was responsible for making; he's used government agencies to spy on us and to get even with those who dare to trespass against him.  

He's now on the march again.  A new and dire climate report from the Obama administration warns of a growing link between human activity and extreme weather across the country.  The National Climate Assessment, in a new and dire climate report from the Obama administration, warns of a growing link between human activity and extreme weather across the country.  

In other words, more government interference and regulation is coming. 

The White House already has its back up against criticism that any such regulations will be job or economy killers and amount to more government takeover of our individual freedoms and liberties.  White House Counselor John Podesta immediately warned that attempts by congressional lawmakers to block the administration's climate action plan will fail. Perhaps we should ammend his title to be "Chancellor" instead of counselor.  

How far are we willing to let Obama go this time?  We've seen what an outright debacle ObamaCare is.  Are we going to let our government require that we all wear masks to collect the carbon monoxide we breathe out, or will we have an uprising somewhere in between the current status quo and that eventuality?  

Do we even have to allow the S.O.B. to go in that direction at all?

RAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF

Here I sit in front of the keyboards, faced with an almost insurmountable pile of scandalous news oozing out from underneath the White House foundation; where do I start with this opinion?  How can I possibly contain what is on my mind within the boundless limitations of a blog post?

It's sad.  It's sad that the elected President of what was once the most powerful country in the world has committed or ordered these events against America to occur, and with the expectation that he could get away with it.  It's even sadder to contemplate that he almost did get away with it, simply because we the people failed in our duty to guard and protect our country.  

But, here we are.  The Benghazi story is on fire.  The I.R.S. targeting scandal is boiling.  Fast & Furious remains on the back burner.  The N.S.A. over-reaches, the D.O.J. snooping on the Associated Press and James Rosen... it's like watching a pool of lava bubble hot up steam and acrid smoke.  

I feel that the wheels are now finally turning; the momentum is building.  It's going to get downright ugly and no one knows how Obama is going to react to it.  But, he brought it on himself through his cavalier disregard of the fact that when Americans have had enough, when their backs are to the wall whether it be in war or politics, they get really angry and they demand justice.   

Let it begin.

FEDS WANT TO MONITOR "HATE SPEECH"

SPECIAL POST

Further to my opinion yesterday regarding Donald Sterling having a Constitutional right to say the despicable things he said, there is a move on now to authorize government agencies to monitor your emails, blogs, social media accounts and telephone or cellphone conversations for "hate speech."  

The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014 “would create an updated comprehensive report examining the role of the Internet and other telecommunications in encouraging hate crimes based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation and create recommendations to address such crimes,” stated a news release from Markey’s office.

Uh, oh... I'm in trouble.  There's about 30 B.L.M. SUV's and a few from the D.O.J. out front right now.  Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and the gang had better go hide under their beds immediately.  Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio... you're both toast.
