Four months after Veterans Affairs officials announced leadership changes at the agency's suicide hotline — and praised employees following a scandal over dropped calls — the line's director has resigned and some staff members still answer as few as one call a day.

Documents obtained by Military Times indicate that Veterans Crisis Line Director Gregory Hughes, hired in January to lead the troubled call center after reports that callers were placed on hold or sent to a voicemail…

WASHINGTON — The coming week could be a watershed moment in the volatile debate over privatizing more health care at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A panel created by Congress to overhaul the VA is expected to release final recommendations July 6 that are two years in the making and will likely include the option of private care for the millions of veterans who now use the federal system of hospitals and clinics.

It will come amid…

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders turned Democrat to oppose Hillary Clinton in what appears to have been an attempt to move the Democratic Party further to the left for bigger government, “tax the rich,” “from each as he may give, to each as he may need,” utopian “cradle to grave,” “nanny state” socialism than it claims to be.

The Democrats really do not go very far into socialism as much as they are a sham for the concentration of power in corrupt hands, stealing the people blind…

George Soros has all sorts of ideas -- dictates, really -- for how Europe must sign up for its demise by importing hordes of Muslims. Soros outlines a six-point plan for civilizational demise in Project-Syndicate, as summarized below, with a bit of commentary in parentheses.

The EU must accept a million “asylum-seekers” every year…

Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner sees “absolutely no value” in studying the U.S. Constitution because “eighteenth-century guys” couldn’t have possibly foreseen the culture and technology of today.

This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty…The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most government it has been the study of rules to confirm this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color of pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.

Kevin Ziober was a lieutenant in the Navy Reserve in 2012 when he received deployment orders to Afghanistan. On his last day of work before leaving, dozens of co-workers gathered for a sendoff. There was a cake and balloons. And then, Ziober says, he was summoned to the human resources office — and fired.

Ziober believes he was fired because of his military service and the inconvenience it caused his employer. If so, that would be a violation of federal law. The Uniformed Services…

I am seeing one lesson.  There is a petition to have a new vote on the issue from the left.  So far some 3 million have signed to have a new election.…

The increasingly frivolous Department of Veterans Affairs is closer than ever to becoming perennially incapable of getting its ducks in a row. The latest example of negligence comes from an “anonymous allegation” submitted to the VA Office of Inspector General concerning the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, located in Houston, Texas. In a June 20 report, the IG probe exposed more of the same old story: “We…

For one thing, you will not find any at you local gun shops.  You will find semi-automatic rifles that look like assault weapons.  But that is all.  While they look like an assault weapon, they do not function like an assault weapon.

The rifles on the civilian market are only semi-automatics.  This means that you can only fire one round per trigger pull.  You have only two functions, safe and semi. 

A true assault weapon has a third function, burst or auto. …

The two presumptive presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, made very different statements concerning the shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub on Sunday which left more than 50 dead and dozens wounded.

Understand the scope of this story and you understand the reason why the entirety of the progressive left has been harping on the Trump University story.  They are desperate to keep eyes and attention from the San Jose violence and the city officials who factually facilitated and organized it.  Of course the insufferable GOPe and ‘Conservative Punditry’ are stupid enough not to see that. 

Newly released…

I will shed not a tear over the death of a DRAFT DODGER!

All the great many stories about this phony and not a mention of this dishonorable part of his past.

Clay was to be drafted into the Army back in the 60s.  But this great chicken did a phony conversion to islam to claim conscientious objector status.  Ya right!  If his conversion was to have merit, he should have quit boxing.  As it was he should have been banned for life from boxing.

So just another phony is…
