Senate VA Committee 115th, 116th & 117th Snapshot
As I continue to crunch the numbers and organize the information, the amount of deceit that unfolds is staggering and baffling at the same time. Why baffling? I’m baffled that this deceit has been an ongoing deceit for decades AND many of the same players who have been knowingly lying to the public continued to…

Senate VA Committee 113th and 114th Snapshot
I am working diligently to ensure I encapsulate the factual information on Congress.gov for this book. I realized, as we close in on the end of the 118th Congress/Senate, that I was very focused on Congressional Bills in the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, and not the Senate. Since I have most of the book written for…

Learn from my experience.
For years I’ve lent my advice and guidance to other veterans who are proactive about their own situation. I’ve tried to give valid information whenever it was asked, in the hopes that whomever I was speaking to, could avoid the pitfalls that I have/had experienced (and in some cases, still experiencing). Last year, around November…

Snippet regarding the 118th Congress
Currently we are in the 118th Congress/Senate. This Congress ran/runs from January 1st, 2023 to December 31st, 2024 (2 years). This is important to understand because each bill must proceed through the process effectively, to be voted into law (eventually). If there’s an issue in House/Senate, it gets kicked back to the originating level and…

Ongoing Data Collecting and Observation
While I continue to collect the data and crunch the numbers from the ‘donated’ data I had received, I am awakened to the reality that no one in D.C. actually works for the people. I know this sounds harsh, but the sad reality is in the numbers. This week has seen dozens of proposed bills…

Doesn’t seem right…
As I am closing in on the conclusion of my data collecting for this current book attempt, I am getting less sleep than desired. So many things play a part in getting sleep, being tired is one of them (check), but shutting the brain off is another (blank). No one is innocent in D.C., but…

Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day to remember our fallen. Our men and women of uniform, who have given all they had, for their country. Memorial Day should not just be a ‘day off’ in May. Memorial Day should be every day, especially if you appreciate your freedoms. Do you appreciate your freedoms? I’ve had to…

15 Apr 2023: Sneak-Peek Update
If anyone actually reads what I write here, I wanted to show a bit of my ‘work’, since I am still crunching the numbers and collecting information. Since I made the (poor) decision to go back 50 years in my research, it showed me quickly that that was a LOT of data to go through,…

Veterans’ Affairs Update: 18 March 2023
In true Veterans Affairs (VA) fashion, they strike again! Recently, I received a letter in the mail from the VA explaining (admitting) that they were wrong in denying me of an award (disability percentage) from a 2008 denial. This is 2023 and they admit they were wrong for denying me the rating in 2008. For…

Been too long, but I’m back
I’ve been trying to accumulate and organize the data regarding the Committee on Veterans Affairs and all of the Bills associated with that committee. The amount of data is immense, more than I could have fully anticipated, which delays the book that I have been working on for so many years. Some may say that…
