This morning, May 28, 2014, Mr. Williams exploded on Neil Cavoto's cable news show about the Veterans Administrations scandal festering within the current Obama Administration. At this writing, the internal Inspector General Report released this morning outlines widespread "criminal" enterprise within that organization, going so far as to label the Texas VA run like " an organized crime family enterprise."
So far, to my accounting, 26 states of VA hospitals are enveloped in the malfeasance.
Mr. Williams, a Naval Academy graduate and Vietnam vet, emotionally blasted everyone involved including the president for inaction. "Men are dying NOW," he said. " We don't need another study, another report, we need action, NOW" he yelled.
Caputo sat quietly.
" What use is it," Williams continued, " to entice young people into the military to serve our country when they know all we will do when they home is give them the finger??"
The Inspector Generals Report although raised internally and is independent from Administration criticism. It is believed to be shielded from inside pressure or influence. So far, news leaks of it's findings have filled today's news reports.

My Day at the Good Will Store
s Foto albums line the shelves everywhere, most of them littered with family shots wives, kids, grandmas, Christmas trees, abandoned to the used shelves sketching lives interrupted by death, bankruptcies families abandoning homes, leaving towns, divorces.
The human landscapes are changing, too. Mexican families drip fast language from the lips, a staccato of words like machine gun bullets as they pass by white folks from the tony neighborhoods up in the foot-hills digging out "bargains" of 50% off the entire stock at Good Will's half off Saturdays. $80 sports shirts and classy matching slacks go with the expensive cars in the parking lots brushing up with the 20 year old trucks that drove up from the south end of the town carrying the poor kids in hunt for $3 toys.
The " new economy " spawns social justice by folks elected 5 years ago,they roost in the inner fabric of our society and government still fed like the classes of young, ill-fed birds chirping in the nests, mouths open, screeching loudly - ME, TOO, ME TOO, feed me, feed me!! They know only need of the next mouthful., no more.
Driven by the far too rich what was called in the old days the Limousine Liberal class supporting the neo Socialists who continue to contribute to the vast waste land of what little remains of the capitalist culture that founded the country. They do so, I opine out of guilt.
She did now know it then, or maybe she did, and we could not see it, but Ayn Rand predicted it back in the late 1940's in her book " Atlas Shrugged."
" Who is John Galt?"

WHY ARE WOMEN SO ANGRY TODAY?
Womens' studies........what that? Feminists cry foul about their ability - or lack of it - to study about womanhood. What the hell are they talking about?
I've never attended a course in college, or high school for that matter, on how to be a man. Nowhere in my history, has any history professor, or high school teacher struck the nerve and said, OK guys, today we study " MANHOOD."
I'm no pissed off about it, I'm not mad at anybody. I picked it up along the way.
Today, I met another ANGRY woman,, determined to make our time together on a joint project just as miserable as she could. She is 82, singe ( no there's my first clue) and has so much anger she smothers it in muffled laughter, harrumping over nothing. " Don't you want to yell?" She says to me. ' Don't you want to scream? "......at head of our organization who has us working on this time-wasting, useless task.
I tell her no, I don't care to fight the boss over control, either. I'm just a volunteer.
That pisses her off.
82!! I say something that she has to rupture herself to disagree with and she spends the rest of the afternoon picking the fly shit out of the pepper I dodge, I weave, nothing. She follows me and around in a war of words like an enemy fighter on my tail bobbing and weaving, guns blazing
I love the women who stand there when I hold the door open for them and refuse to go in.
" I....CAN...TAKE.....CARE....OF....MYSELF!!" kerthunk the other door slams as she dodges around me through a second. Another, she's at least as tall as I - six feet, two inches. " God, I love women who as tall as me, " I tell her.
The glare is enough to blind me. " I don't appreciate any references to my size, " she growls. This lovely six footer, blue eyed blond should be on a magazine cover comes with a 45 caliber shield.
Sorry, miss, I only meant it as a compliment.
Research in Divorce statistics shows that women suffer far more AND LONGER bouts of depression and fury, anger and desire for reprisals than men do. I know that's hard to believe, but the research is there. It is not for men, as yet, but for women, it is established science.
Studies show that divorced women are as angry, or more so, 10 full years after the decree as they were the day OF THE DIVORCE DECREE. Most mental health therapists make note with patients that appears to be ten wasted years of one's life. Ten years, stuck in the mud, fixated at a level of sadness, depression and misery instead of trying to "Move On" with their lives.
The same Scholarship shows that men take less than half that time to recover their balance, pick themselves up and move on. Although this is not always the case, generally speaking, a high percentage of patients can produce these results under the right care.

On the Brink? More than 50% don't trust their Governent!!
That means, whenever a national news conference broadcasts, somebody says something, most of the on-lookers probably don't believe what is said.
When the President speaks, most of us understand that the opposite is probably going to happen. We trust the military more than we trust Congress, and we trust Congress only slightly more than used car salesmen. Jesus, people!! Even stupid folks getting free s$%# from the government aren't that stupid enough to miss:-

Even stupid folks getting free s$%# from the government aren't that stupid enough to miss:-
- Russia is running us into the ground
- Our national credit card is over drawn
- Our own spy agency is spying on us
- the New York Times ( the prez's own newspaper) just came out against HIM)
- He can't come up with a household budget in 5 years but an anti-gun law in 2 weeks, YES!
- I.R.S, sure, they're here to " help you!!" Meanwhile, it's bonuses over there for everyone!!
- NSA, bottleneck on information, subpoenas, trial dates, " nope, no info here, move along, nothing to see here."
- Lois Lerner, Indicted, runs for cover. DOJ Chief, Indicted, doesn't run for cover - finger in the air. " Whadda ya gonna do about it?"
- VA - at this writing, 40 veterans dead on stretchers in the hall while files lay on desks. VA chief in committee meetings. Nice guy, "we'll get back to you." The infection spreads. At this writing 6 VA hospitals and spreading. No action, brave warriors back from the field still dying.
- Barack Obama and family spent half a billion dollars in three years shoveling his family around on various Air Force One planes to and from various vacations.

The American Character - " SADDLE UP THE CAVALRY!!"
Over my adulthood, I've lived through the Vietnam civil squabbles where our home grown Communists tried to topple our national resolve by nearly destroying our inward character - "Hell NO, we won't GO." to bumper stickers like " feed Jane Fonda to the Gay Whales" and everything in between. The Chicago Seven spills blood on the New York Stock Exchange, then years later, one of them sells out to join it and trades on the Board. Another "pals" around with one of our president's daughters who, we hear, swaped more than spit, on occasion, then he hare Keri's himself at 50.
All during the massive national navel gazing time the mantra for the heady crowd is " Are we the world's policeman? Shrink our Armed Forces, the world can look out for itself.
Comes the sobering up, War on Drugs, a couple of no-nonsense Presidents, the nation comes around to common sense, Middle East, Al Queda, 9/11 and President Bush with a bullhorn. America answers in a bloody storm. We're back. After a decade of a desert war, the American people are far more behind our troops in harms way than I can ever remember since I've been able to walk.
It's over now, time to bring them home. It is pretty much a generally accepted touchdown the current president is one in name only as the nation shifts around for a reason to recall him. America, now weakened on the national stage, needs a rest, from the current administration of babbling idiots, excuse makers, foot shifters, and spend thrifts, so we can move on to the circus geeks with large brooms to sweep up the poop, brush up the crap, clear the stage, and make room for another group, hopefully better.
The " girls " kidnapped in Nigeria are 300 in number, nubile in nature, early teens, most probably virgin children, taken from moms by nut ball Muslim brush fighters who have " converted" them to Islam by bayonet point. They are to be auctioned off as SEX slaves. 12 to 15 year old young girls. You read right, sex slaves.
This small-small time actor is on the other side of the globe, which is lucky for him, for I assume were he not, save being down the block. I'd venture to say they would be a long line of Americans, who - by the by - are usually armed to the armpits, would love to kill the bastard.
Then escort the young girls back to the loving arms of the moms and dads.Now, that's an action plan that in my mind would work.
Screw the hash-tags.

Benghazi + Hillary Clinton = Watergate
Fox News continues to follow the story, dragging House Honcho John Boehner along with the masses of Americans and his own Congressional members into a Select Committee to further investigate the matter.
Select Committee Chairman Trey Goudy from the Carolina has earned the reputation as a shark, no-nonsense interrogator, and television coverage promises to be equal to that of the old Army-McCarthy hearing of the 50's and Senate/Ollie North debacle on the Hill some time ago.
Heads are sure to roll. Supreme among the suppositions are - if they have nothing to hide, we never would have gotten this far. Fess up, get it out on the table and be done with it. The underlying factor is, the skull duggery is it goes as high as the president.
Supreme among the wrong-doings is, arbitrarily someone said, " no rescue" and four men were left alone, with no chance of a rescue, to die on a roof top in Benghazi.
Then, they lied about it to everyone. For that, the punishment must fit that awful crime.

Hillary Clinton on Curbing Guns
The recent headline says, " Hillary Clinton says gun culture is way out of balance." I guess she got out of bed that morning, addressing an audience of mental health professionals and decided to pitch them on something that would generate lots of clapping. You know, womens' issues n' stuff.
Funny, when I think about it, she wades into the politically charged issue of guns during a National Association of Behavior Health conference ( Head docs) and begs the issue that " we have to rein in what has become an article of faith that anyone can have a gun, anywhere, anytime. "
Without confusing psychologists that killing a room full of kids is NOT an act of insanity, Mrs Clinton proceeds with the theory that aborting a Constitutional provision on her whim is a great idea. One wonders what a hangover or a bout of indigestion would do to her views on the First Amendment, Fifth or Ninth, some foul morning.
Complaining further, " at the rate we're going, we're going to have people with guns everywhere fully LICENSED, FULLY VALIDATED in movie theatres where people get shot for chewing gum loudly." Mrs Clinton didn't cite any examples of legally licensed, validated gun owners springing to the defense of movie goers assaulted by crazy people going awry.
So far, Mrs Clinton and President Obama have yet to specifically clarify any laws that would thusfar vouchsafe Americans by disarming honest, trustworthy law-abiding citizens against a dishonest, criminal element. FBI stats - public records prove this - indicate they are caught overwhelmingly with stolen illegally obtained guns.
And Mrs. Clinton, so far, appears to be the "annointed one" for the Democrats in 2016.
