Why is swamp drain taking so long? Give the left points for that.
I’m still waiting for high blood pressure to be listed as a Vietnam/Agent Orange illness. They were supposed to decide last November but then they just stalled on the decision. I have been treated (at the VA)for high blood pressure since I returned from Vietnam in 1968.
Generally around here such degrees are considered debilitating but not as bad as an MBA! ;-)
I am/will support Pete for Sec VA.
Thanks for your service, and don’t forget to takeyour medicine.
I saw that - very impressive that he keeps himself in good shape.
The only good would be Sessions relieving Mueller of command and seizing all computers and files and walking his team out with escorts. They have volumes on the bad actors and are probably sequestering evidence as we speak to protect the guilty. Here’s hoping!
Yes! We want Pete.
Pete is a Hahvard grad. Love this guy. A real patriot.
You dog. LOL, but I agree with ya. I just hope you aren’t a guy!
I thought Hegseth would be appointed at the beginning. Too bad he went with Obama guy Shulkin.
I’m an old lady with glaucoma, but Pete looks very fine to me!
Pete has my vote!
A great patriot!
Hmmm, maybe for Country he would do it but I'm not betting on it
Yes!!! He is awesome and dedicated to our Vets
Love ya, yes he looks fine to me too.
Privatizing the VA would be disastrous for veterans like me who rely on the specialized services that only the VA can provide.
As a paraplegic, I need the specialty care the VA offers. The spinal cord clinic, prosthetics, neurology and several other specialists.
And there are veterans who rely on care for PTSD, TBI and a score of other veteran specific issues.
Throw us out into the civilian hospitals and many more will die.
I find it very hard to believe that the VA provides anything that other facilities cannot provide. There are civilian doctors that specialize in all the areas you mentioned who don’t put people on secret waiting lists to do as the VA has been caught doing.
Should be “who don’t put people on secret waiting lists to die as the VA has been caught doing”
Hegseth is committed to serving vets but has no management experience that would qualify him to run an organization as big as the VA. On top of that he’s a globalist in good standing with the Council on Foreign Relations. Trump has a habit of giving unqualified friends positions their not suited for. Kudlow is the latest. He supported JEB during the campaign and openly mocked Trump. In the last couple days he’s slammed the idea of tariffs. He won’t last 6 months working as the head of the Economic Council. If Trump is looking for a qualified VA secretary Rick Perry is just a phone call away.
I’m getting those specialists in one hospital. My medical records are right there so I can see three specialists in one day and then pick up prescriptions at the pharmacy.
And the cost for civilian specialists, not counting the time and travel, is much higher than my VA.
Is it possible you find it hard to believe because you haven’t lived it for 3 decades like I have?
