The War on Guns: The Truth About Gun Control, Racism and Genocide



Good read by the ACRU, not to be focused with the ACLU. Read it and pass it along.

Gun show weekend

Back to the gun show. Last night was pretty good for a Friday.

VA manager's email mocks veteran suicides

A manager at the Roudebush Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Indianapolis appears to mock the mental health problems of returning combat veterans in an email to her employees.

The email obtained by The Indianapolis Star contains photographs of a toy Christmas elf posing as a patient in what appears to be the hospital's transitional clinic for returning veterans. In one photograph, the elf pleads for Xanax. In another, he hangs himself with an electrical cord.

You can see the original e-mail here. This is beyond disgusting. 

Paul remains employed at the hospital and continues to manage the clinic, earning an annual salary of $79,916. She received a $2,000 performance bonus in 2013, records show. More recent bonus information was not immediately available.

80K a year plus bonuses and has the audacity to mock veterans that are killing themselves at the rate of 22 a month. 

        The email immediately drew outrage from veterans groups.

"It is a slap in the face to our recent and past veterans suffering from mental health issues every single day," said Ken Hylton, commander of the Indiana Department of the American Legion. "These men and women went to war and do not deserve this type of ridicule. This is a disgusting display of mockery. This is supposedly someone who is caring for our veterans, and we in the Indiana American Legion are disgusted."

He called for an investigation and the "immediate dismissal of this government employee and all of those who received this correspondence and said nothing."

Immediate dismissal with the complete loss of benefits and pensions. Let that bitch beg on the street. She obviously has no business being around veterans that are having issues. 

Update, good news on the horizon.

State licensing board slaps VA emailer with complaint

The manager at Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center who mocked veteran suicides in an email is now in hot water with the state board that licenses social workers.

The Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board has filed a complaint against Robin Paul, the licensed clinical social worker who managed the hospital's transitional care clinic for returning veterans.

 Maybe the state will do what the feds won't. 

If a violation is found, the licensing board could issue fines, put the licensee on probation, suspend the license or revoke it, said Nick Goodwin, a spokesman for the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency.

Her licence should be revoked and she should never be allowed near patients again. 

Her email made national news and incensed veterans groups and members of Congress; some have called on the Department of Veterans Affairs to fire her.

"The news that a state agency is taking stronger action in disciplining Ms. Paul rather than the VA themselves is another sad example of a department run amok and surrounded in dysfunction," U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski said in a statement Wednesday.

"The only way to rectify this fiasco and rebuild trust is for the VA to hold negligent employees responsible and ensure their priority is the care of our service members, and this begins with terminating the employment of Ms. Paul."

Under intense pressure, Roudebush Director Tom Mattice placed Paul on paid administrative leave Tuesday, pending the outcome of an investigation.

But he has not explained why those actions didn't come sooner. Hospital administrators have known about the email for at least two months.

 A paid vacation months after the fact. Isn't that just special. Why hasn't she been terminated yet? Congress needs to fix the broken laws so people like this will be in fear of loosing their jobs. Maybe then veterans will truly get the help we need and deserve.

The fight is far from over. All they are doing is putting it on the back burner and hoping we will become complacent. Be sure to read Davids whole Examiner article. He brings up a lot of good points. And if you aren't a subscriber, become one. David is one of the good guys in the fight to regain our liberty.

Happy birthday.

Today is Naomi's birthday. you can tell her happy birthday here.

In other news, last night I got called in to work. The very first delivery, they lost control of their dog. He ran out the door and tried his best to bite me. I was moving so all he got was the leg of my jeans. Luckily there wasn't any blood. That's the second time since I took this job. The first one bit me on the finger. There was a little blood that time, but nothing major. One of those little dust-mop looking dogs. But at least I didn't shoot him.

Today, aside from Naomi's birthday, would have been dad's 90th. He died in 1980 at 55 years old. I still miss him. After high school, when I joined the Marines, we became more than father and son. When I was home on leave, we were drinking buddies and I got a lot of good advice from him. Some of it I followed, some I didn't.

Happy birthday dad, I wish we could have one more talk.

M855 Price gouging

This guy has the right idea. Especially the boat.



I don't have any M855. I do however have about 700 rounds of 55gr FMJ, on stripper clips, that I would trade for a small fishing boat w motor.

Stolen, with all due respect, from Miguel.
