NATIONAL NOTES 27 MAY 2024

Veterans became eligible for billions. These firms saw a chance to profit. This one hits close to home. While (knock on wood) I’ve yet to experience any illness associated with exposure to a toxic burn pit, it’s not been from lack of proximity. During the Gulf War, that’s how our engineer battalion disposed of its trash at our location adjacent to the Iraqi border:

Now, after the passage of the PACT Act, for-profit companies promisin’ to help veterans procure disability benefits from the VA are like buzzards circlin’ over a dead cow. Charging veterans thousands of dollars for a process that’s free, although anything but fast. While these companies cry foul at bein’ painted in a bad light, they’re all carpetbaggers – plain and simple.

OREGON OBSERVATIONS 27 MAY 2024

Voters seeking ‘law and order’ cheer ousting of progressive Oregon district attorney. I know I’m probably beatin’ a dead horse, but nobody should be losin’ any sleep over this one. The number of prosecutions per year prior to him was 20,000. After he took office, that number dropped to 6,000. That’s a 30% reduction, which means there was a 70% increase of bad guys still on the street. No wonder Multnomah County voters said he cared more about criminals than them, and they said it with their ballots.

I’m not a sports fan, but did the idiot on the View ever consider that she’s popular because she’s an outstanding athlete? Pretty and White don’t have anything to do with it except to give the View somethin’ else to bitch about. While we’re on the subject when the hell are they gonna pull the plug on that show?
