families, all of whom make such sacrifices so I might be free to express this. I respect you and everything you do for our country. To the families of our fallen veterans, my prayers go out to you. For those of you who are still alive, my prayers go out to you and your families, as well. You have my respect, my admiration and my gratefulness. ...

I just watched a TV documentary about new war veterans coming back from Iraq. They say that every day at least 28 veterans are committing suicide. This is truly shocking news. I am wondering if their statistics are really accurate. They say that only 33% are approved to receive PTSD benefits. There is not enough money in their budget to approve all the claims. I used to transcribe Veteran's health care reports and know that there are many mental heal ...

Does anyone think there will be the same result? ...

Thank you for your service in honoring and protecting America and her people. Happy Veterans Day and may God bless you always. ...

against every bill in Congress that would benefit our veterans yet still advocate giving more tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations? There is no excuse for any veteran to be homeless and alone. If we send our men and women to war, our first priority needs to be taking care of them when they come home! ...

She thinks PTSD started with the Iraq War. WRONG! She's old enough to know that this is a new NAME for battle fatigue, shell shock, and other names that commonly occurred in all wars with veterans. Does she really belong on an Intelligence Committee????? She should do some research before trying to put all veterans in the mentally ill group. Heck, she doesn't even know what is considered an assault weapon, so hopefully, her bill won't see the light of day vote-wise. Watch h ...

A government that fails to secure its borders is guilty of dereliction of duty. A government that fails to care for our men and women on the frontlines is guilty of malpractice. A government that puts the needs of illegal aliens above U.S. veterans for political gain should be prosecuted for criminal neglect bordering on treason. Compare, contrast and weep: In Sacramento, Calif., lawmakers are moving forward with a budget-busting plan to extend government-funded health insurance to at lea ...

Firing Offense: Democrats are constantly bleating about the need to better serve the nation's veterans. Yet when it comes down to it, they would rather bow to their union masters than allow the VA to fire workers who aren't doing their jobs. The proof is the Democrats' fervent opposition to a simple reform being pushed by Republicans — the VA Accountability First Act. This bill would let the Veterans Affairs secretary fire someone and not have to wait a month for the person t ...

Totally disgusting they want to cut benefits from those who pay the ultimate price. The government needs to honor its contract with the troops. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ron-paul-issues-open-letter-to-president-obama-concerning-cuts-to-veterans-benefits-2011-09-20 ...

Rep. Betty McCollum is out to get rid of the Pentagon's sponsorships for NASCAR teams says she won't back away from her efforts and, despite GOP resistance, will broaden her fight to repeal tax breaks for track owners, too. In an interview, McCollum said it doesn't make sense to keep the benefits for NASCAR teams and track owners when other cuts are being made to community health care, programs for homeless veterans and Head Start. "I started to look at what is in this large def ...

"With Democrats pressing for passage this week, Senate Republicans, backed by their leader, Mitch McConnell, attempted to attach controversial legislation calling for possible new sanctions on Iran that President Barack Obama opposes." "The legislation had the backing of most veterans' organizations, but was doomed by deep disagreements between Democrats and Republicans that have made this Congress one of the least productive in decades. Sanders, an independent who caucu ...

I have opinions about the debate debacle, but this is a very good thing, bringing attention to veterans when everyone is focused on presidential debates, caucuses, primaries, Bernie's ignorance with regard to socialism and Hillary's life as a career criminal. ...

even among Republicans, according to a survey from Pew Research. But the group is still potent within the Republican Party — which means that Sen. Ted Cruz gets a bit of good news on an otherwise bleak day. "Tea Party" is a necessarily vague affiliation. There are members of Tea Party groups, of course, but Pew largely had to allow poll respondents to self identify. And a lot of Republicans did so. About four-in-ten (41%) Republicans and Republican leaners agree with the Tea Pa ...

Conservatives have long railed against media turning 'swiftboat' into pejorative or 'hate term' As former President George W. Bush attempts to salvage his tarnished legacy, Fox News Radio host John Gibson has eagerly joined in the effort to rehabilitate the previous administration's image. Gibson, the author of Hating America and The War on Christmas, has a new book out titled How the Left Swiftboated America: The Liberal Media Conspiracy to Make You Think George W. Bu ...

as he opened and operated a motorcycle apparel and accessories business. Robert Gingell was paid $140,000 a year by VA throughout the time he claimed he was sick or working from home.

Gingell was a GS-15 civil ...

A new report tries to stifle Democrats' confidence that demographics guarantee the party's electoral success. But it's not totally persuasive. [Maybe not, but I've known a lot of minority conservatives over the years who are not comfortable with the Democratic party, even if they're forced to vote Democratic to protect themselves now, and I expect them to force change at some point. The only thing certain about the future is that it will be different and it wi ...

This link is to a personal blog, The PCTC Blog, one with a solid left bias, and I haven't vetted the 200 items, but they do all come attached with a link to jump start the process and are in categories. (Thanks to PCTC for all the work.) Like the footprint of any presidency, many are about the business of running government itself, some will strongly affect a few, some have already changed the lives of many, some will turn out to be lying dead in the water, but some will undoubtedly ultima ...

A Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan Repeal all of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax breaks for the top two percent. Repealing the 2001 and 2003 tax breaks for the top two percent would reduce the deficit by about $1 trillion over the next decade. After President Clinton increased taxes on the top two percent, the economy added over 22 million jobs. After President Bush reduced taxes for the rich, the economy lost over 600,000 private sector jobs. Create an emergency de ...

A couple weeks ago I came across an old article about Journolist which I found striking. In particular, I was struck by the ways in which some of the debates taking place among left-leaning journalists back in 2008 still seem to encompass the ways the left-wing media operates today.... For those who don’t remember it, Journolist was just a listserv created by Ezra Klein. The list was invitation only and was mostly made up of progressive journalists. In theory, the list was a kind of digital ...
