BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE
FAT, OLD AND UGLY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HUMPED THE LEG OF FADED CELEBRITY IN CHIEF BARRY O IN HOLLYWOOD.
HOW APPROPRIATE THAT THE TIRED WHORE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WOULD BE IN LAH-LAH LAND TO DISGRACE HIMSELF.
THE FEEBLE OLD MAN WHO ONCE TRIED TO SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE, PRESUMED TO SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE, NOW HUMPS THE LEG OF THE MAN WHO LEADS THE DRONE WAR.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN IS A WHORE. A TRASHY WHORE.
HIS WORK IS A MOCKERY, HIS NAME IS A DISGRACE.
ALL THAT'S LEFT FOR HIM IS TO HAVE HIS HIDDEN GAY PAST REVEALED.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY COMING NEXT.
FROM THE TCI WIRE:
Starting with veterans issues, US House Rep Jeff Miller is the Chair of the House Veterans Affairs Committee. His office issued the following:
Chairman Miller Responds to Calls for VA Leadership Changes
May 5, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Following the American Legion’s calls for VA leadership changes, Chairman Miller released the following statement:
“Make no mistake. There is a crisis of confidence with VA’s top leadership, and the American Legion’s calls for the resignations of the department’s top leaders should be sending shock waves through the White House. I have the utmost respect for Commander Dellinger’s opinion, and while I am going to wait until VA’s inspector general releases its report on the situation in Phoenix before deciding to call for any personnel changes, this much is clear: for nearly a year, we have been pleading with top department leaders and President Obama to take immediate steps to stop the growing pattern of preventable veteran deaths and hold accountable any and all VA employees who have allowed patients to slip through the cracks. In response, we’ve received disturbing silence from the White House and one excuse after another from VA. Right now, President Obama and Sec. Shinseki are faced with a stark choice: take immediate action to help us end the culture of complacency that is engulfing the Veterans Health Administration and compromising patient safety, or explain to the American people and America’s veterans why we should tolerate the status quo.”
– Rep. Jeff Miller, Chairman, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs

What scandal are we talking about this time? House Veterans Affairs
Committee Chair Jeff Miller explained it an April 9th Committee hearing.
From that day's snapshot:
US House Rep Jeff Miller: I had hoped that during this hearing, we would be discussing the concrete changes VA had made -- changes that would show beyond a doubt that VA had placed the care our veterans receive first and that VA's commitment to holding any employee who did not completely embody a commitment to excellence through actions appropriate to the employee's failure accountable. Instead, today we are faced with even with more questions and ever mounting evidence that despite the myriad of patient safety incidents that have occurred at VA medical facilities in recent memory, the status quo is still firmly entrenched at VA. On Monday -- shortly before this public hearing -- VA provided evidence that a total of twenty-three veterans have died due to delays in care at VA medical facilities. Even with this latest disclosure as to where the deaths occurred, our Committee still don't know when they may have happened beyond VA's stated "most likely between 2010 and 2012." These particular deaths resulted primarily from delays in gastrointestinal care. Information on other preventable deaths due to consult delays remains unavailable. Outside of the VA's consult review, this committee has reviewed at least eighteen preventable deaths that occurred because of mismanagement, improper infection control practices and a whole host -- a whole host -- of other maladies plaguing the VA health care system nationwide. Yet, the department's stonewall has only grown higher and non-responsive. There is no excuse for these incidents to have ever occurred. Congress has met every resource request that VA has made and I guarantee that if the department would have approached this committee at any time to tell us that help was needed to ensure that veterans received the care they required, every possible action would have been taken to ensure that VA could adequately care for our veterans. This is the third full committee hearing that I have held on patient safety and I am going to save our VA witnesses a little bit of time this morning by telling them what I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear the rote repetition of -- and I quote -- "the department is committed to providing the highest quality care, which our veterans have earned and that they deserve. When incidents occur, we identify, mitigate, and prevent additional risks. Prompt reviews prevent similar events in the future and hold those persons accountable." Another thing I don’t want to hear is -- and, again, I quote from numerous VA statements, including a recent press statement -- "while any adverse incident for a veteran within our care is one too many," preventable deaths represent a small fraction of the veterans who seek care from VA every year. What our veterans have truly "earned and deserve" is not more platitudes and, yes, one adverse incident is indeed one too many. Look, we all recognize that no medical system is infallible no matter how high the quality standards might be. But I think we all also recognize that the VA health care system is unique because it has a unique, special obligation not only to its patients -- the men and women who honorably serve our nation in uniform -- but also to the hard-working taxpayers of the United States of America.
Monday, the American Legion called for the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki over the latest VA scandal. Yesterday, Senators John Cornyn and Jerry Moran jointed the call for Shinseki to step down. Matthew Daly (AP) reports
Senator Richard Burr (Ranking Member on the Senate Veterans Affairs
Committee) is also calling for Shinseki to step down. Last month, Disabled American Veterans issued a call for accountability and quoted DAV Washington Headquarters Executive Director Garry
Augustine stating, "We look forward to the results of these investigations, and
if there is any evidence of wrongdoing or knowledgeable neglect, those
responsible must be held to account." An early leader in the call for accountability, DAV issued the following today:
DAV remains deeply concerned about allegations of secret waiting lists, falsification of medical appointment records and the destruction of official documents at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care facilities in Phoenix, Arizona and Fort Collins, Colorado.
DAV is first and foremost concerned about the health and safety of the 9 million enrolled veterans who rely on the VA for some or all of their health care needs, including most of our 1.2 million members.
Veterans are a unique population with special needs; and it is vitally important that a safe, high-quality and accessible VA health care system be sustained to deliver such care.
At a time of such serious allegations it is imperative that the VA respond quickly, forcefully and publicly to these reports and answer questions about whether similar problems are threatening other VA facilities or the system as a whole.
Veterans have a right to know that they can receive quality medical care in a timely manner when they come to VA.
I am calling on VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to answer not just the public allegations but also some fundamental questions about the entire VA health care system.
The Secretary must quickly, comprehensively and publicly answer a number of questions that are necessary to give us, all veterans and the American public confidence that the VA health care system can and will provide safe, high-quality care at every facility in the nation.
VA and its leadership at all levels must be held fully accountable for any failures or wrongdoing that may have occurred or be occurring. America’s heroes deserve nothing less.
Yesterday, Concerned Veterans for America issued the following:
Arlington, Va. – Concerned Veterans for America today released a new web video, “Demand Accountability,” as part of its ongoing VA Accountability project, which calls for reform of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and supports the VA Management Accountability Act—a bill that gives the Secretary of Veterans Affairs the power to hold managers accountable for their performance—both positively and negatively.
“Demand Accountability,” which focuses on the VA healthcare system’s culture of dysfunction, highlights the recent news that 40 vets’ deaths have been linked to long wait times for care at the Phoenix VA and points out the large cash bonuses VA administrators around the country received even after overseeing hospitals where severe mismanagement exposed veterans to health risks and in some cases even led to their deaths. The video also calls on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to support the VA Management Accountability Act.

Pete Hegseth, CEO of CVA, issued the following statement:
“Just yesterday The American Legion called
for the resignation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary
Eric Shinseki—action we fully support and called for at CVA a year ago.
But replacing Shinseki won’t actually lead to reform unless the next VA
secretary is empowered to hold managers and administrators accountable
for their poor performance. That’s why the VA Management Accountability
Act is so important; it equips VA leaders with the tools necessary for
meaningful reform.”

The first whistle-blower on the Phoenix VA's secret list was Dr. Sam Foote. Rebecca Thomas (CBS5 -- link is video and text) reported yesterday that Troy Burmesch has stepped forward to back Foote's assertions.
He said the secret list might have been a secret to the Veteran's Administration, but everyone on the Phoenix campus knew about it.
Burmesch, who worked as a medical support assistant from November 2012 to September 2013, said most support staff just didn't know exactly how the list was being used.
Jamie Reno (IBT) reports today:
*A third and fourth whistleblower at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care System provided more details of the “secret list” allegedly
used by managers to make it appear that wait times for veterans were
shorter than they actually were. At least 40 veterans died while waiting
for care in Phoenix, according to whistleblowers. Three top managers in
Phoenix have been placed on leave while the VA’s inspector general
investigates.
*A VA scheduling clerk accused higher-ups in Austin,
Texas, and San Antonio of manipulating data in an attempt to hide long
wait times to see doctors there, the Austin American-Statesman reported on
Wednesday. The employee told the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which
protects government whistleblowers, that he and others were “verbally
directed by lead clerks, supervisors, and during training” to ensure
that wait times at the Austin VA Outpatient Clinic and the North Central
Federal Clinic in San Antonio were “as close to zero days as possible,"
according to the newspaper.
