I’ve never heard of him until now and still know nothing about him.

A warning we received this morning.

Tuesday, February 14, 2017

Good Morning folks,

A strange thing happened in the US Senate yesterday;

On the Confirmation Dr. David J. Shulkin, of Pennsylvania, to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs the vote was 100 Yeas and 0 Nays, even the infamous Republic and US Military haters, King of Maine, Schummer of NY and Markey and Warren of Massachusetts voted Yea.

Think, why would King of Maine, Markey and Warren of Massachusetts vote Yea along with Cruz of Texas?

I don’t know, but this I do know, we had best keep a very sharp eye on Dr. David J. Shulkin, of Pennsylvania, the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

An Obama appointee. Forgive me for not celebrating the 100-0 vote.

Collins isn’t a republican. She is a conartist rat.

I am hopeful. My worry is that now matter how dedicated Dr. Shulkin is, as long as the VA is unionized, his efforts will fail.

I am also wondering why Trump would hold over an Obama appointee. Apparently he has been in the position for 2 years, or so. Have there yet been any demonstrable changes for the good, under this guy?

I don’t want him.
He may be a good, or even a great doctor, but he’s not a veteran.
I want a veteran to be in charge of veteran affairs. A good VA administrator needs skin in the game and good organizational skills not medical skills.

Shulkin was a loyal member of the Obama administration. Of course the Dims would support him.

If all the RATs voted for him, I reflexively look upon him with suspicion.
