The VA scandal

Posted on May 23, 2014 | Comments Off on The VA scandal

I like to read the Wall Street Journal’s Best of The Web Today, which yesterday had a good rejoinder to one Democrat’s questionable concern:

“‘As troubling as some of these allegations are, this controversy presents an opportunity for the administration,’ Waldman continues. ‘This isn’t some kind of phony scandal like Benghazi: it’s a real issue with real consequences.’

“Christopher Stevens could not be reached for comment.”

These VA scandals come and go. The hospitals were not originally intended to treat all veterans exclusively but only those unable to pay for their health care. Nowadays, the pols are sending many career retirees to the VA on top of everyone else and the load, of course, is overwhelming.

Mrs. Charm always says “Go get your free hearing aids.” I never have because I can afford to buy them and don’t want to add to the problems of those veterans who can’t.

Exonerating Zimmerman

Posted on July 26, 2013 | 6 comments

“Seattle radio host John Carlson–who… initially thought Zimmerman guilty–notes:

One of the most important, and remarkably under-publicized facts that came out at trial is that one of the detectives, while interrogating Zimmerman at the police station that night, told him that the entire incident had been caught on surveillance video. The detective was bluffing, but Zimmerman didn’t know that. His reaction: ‘Thank God.’

‘Thank God.’ How many people who do something wrong, lie about it and are told it’s on tape react that way?”

Remarkably under-publicized? Oh, come on. It hardly fits the Narrative pushed by our feckless president and his race baiter pals. It’s way too telling.

UPDATE:  Rare reader Darkwater sends this link to PJMedia journalist Bill Whittle’s excellant, fully-sourced takedown of the lies told about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman by, variously, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the President of the United States and the U.S. Attorney General. They should hang their heads in shame, if they have any shame, which I doubt.

The ticking time bomb – revised

Posted on June 5, 2007 | Comments Off on The ticking time bomb – revised

Once upon a time, Vietnam veterans were ticking bombs just waiting for the time to go off. Now it’s Iraq veterans turn. The problem here, I rather think, is journalism’s. Too many anti-warriors and too few reserve, guard or veteran soldiers in the newsroom.

Blueprint for terror

Posted on December 22, 2006 | Comments Off on Blueprint for terror

"’An analysis done for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says that the PATH train tunnels under the Hudson River are more vulnerable to a bomb attack than previously thought, and that a relatively small amount of high explosives could cause significant flooding of the rail system within hours,’ the New York Times reports."

Adds the Wall Street Journal’s Best of The Web Today: "Well, kudos to the New York Times for alerting us to this danger. Now that you’ve heard about it, please keep it to yourself. Whatever you do, don’t publish it anywhere a terrorist might find out about it!"
