https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/07/16/white-irs-security-guard-pulled-gun-an-armed-man-it-was-black-police-officer-uniform/

One of the scariest moments of my life was when old white security guard pulled a gun on me and shook like Don Knotts. I had just gotten off the elevator on Mark Breland’s floor to shoot some b roll when the guard rolled up on me looking scared to death. I said, “you do know there’s a doorman and a concierge downstairs, right? I was sent up.”



Bullshitting.

Again.

Wiki source on scandal,

I'm glad your own care improved, but you seem to be under the impression that the scandals ended there:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/22/va-health-care-workers-disciplined-reporting-veteran-problems/1480893001/

Quote
The Government Accountability Office issued a report last July that said the office allowed officials accused of wrongdoing or retaliation to be involved in investigations of the accusations – calling into question their independence and findings. And leadership at the office has turned over multiple times, causing confusion and disruption.

A year later, there are still whistleblowers fighting to be heard.

As of June, 2018, 70% of VA hospitals had waiting times longer than non-VA hospitals, a bunch of them over 6 hours between showing up at the ER and being admitted -- those were their median wait times! One's median wait time was almost TWELVE hours!


Quote
“revealed alarming problems within VA’s management of medical supply inventories at its hospitals nationwide,”

https://www.stripes.com/key-veterans-groups-blast-trump-s-va-budget-proposal-as-falling-short-of-veterans-needs-1.572485



I think some good things have been done, but it sure looks to me as if what the administration has done is to keep more of their problems under wraps than the Obama administration managed to, at least to an extent.

Plus there are so many other crises that these ongoing issues get less attention!

What is Omar talking about? White supremacist terrorists blowing up mosques and synagogues (That is not why Homeland security was formed princess). Still in denial about 9-11, Al Qaeda, and Isis.

I noticed you never acknowledged all the stuff you love about the VA under Trump you got from Obama.
  From BHO I only got disrespect. Delays and turndowns of appeals. Apparently it was pervasive.  Veterans were dying while waiting for service according to one scandal. It got really bad near the end of his second term At the emergency room I saw a female doctor chasing a vet out yelling that he was only there for the free lunch. After twenty years I had a comp Dr. ask me who put me on. He was terrible to the vets. Cynical haters all over the place. Big improvement from donald. Comp exams were farmed out and handled by a private agency with courteous caring professionals at the other end. Prior to that Clinton was best to the vets, creating auxiliary clinics and bringing in professionals . W soso.

You stupid racist asshole.

uh............

wow.

Fuck off
Racist asshole.

How was the 1862 Battle of Memphis more important to the USA and the world than the 1944 DDay invasion?

By the way, I’m an asshole who calls out racists.

So fuck you, too.

As was previously explained, and in greater detail, slow one.

There's no USA without winning the Battle of Memphis. It secured the West for the Union, allowing for control of the Mississippi down to Vicksburg. From then on, the Union could bring in and supply its army as it worked to win the West, which it did, allowing for General Grant to emerge, and eventually for General Sherman to march to the sea and destroy the CSA.

 Absent that naval victory, the South holds on, and there is no United States of America that comes of age internationally under McKinley and with TR developing and expanding the Naval presence in the world (having learned the importance of a navy from examining the Civil War), building the Panama Canal, etc.

Absent those successive events from that battle in 1862, Germany may have won WW1, but for sure, WW2, because there would be no D-Day, without that important victory at Memphis.

But you knew that, because you had family in Memphis, who later built the Panama Canal, before storming the beaches of Normandy, after giving Ike the plan for the invasion, and writing most of Elvis's songs at Sun Records, though completely uncredited.

The only reason the Battle of Memphis was fought at all was because the South had no coal to power their cotton clads to run away.

You’re describing a butterfly effect made entirely of bullshit and you know it.

It matters not how the South lost. It matters that the Union won. It's clearly explained.

You gave no counterargument of any means.
