Happy wednesday to you. Hump day. And its 11 00 a. M. I always find that funny. 11 00 a. M. Out west and 2 00 p. M. On capitol hill. Where despite his budding bromance with President Trump, french president Emmanuel Macron called the american president out on his isolationist agenda. In a rare address to congress, the socalled trump whisperer spoke pretty loud and pretty clearly on the need for the u. S. To reject the politics of fear and anger. Also on capitol hill, dr. Ronny jackson was supposed to appear today for his confirmation hearing to be the next secretary of veterans affairs. Instead this afternoon the white house physician is facing questions about his ability to lead whether he overprescribed pills, and whether he drank on the job. Thats a big, big problem to the point where some of the white house call him the candy man, he passed out in the room, that there was some folks that needed some help and another person got what they needed out of the medical kit and took care o

Mr. Pompeo was confirmed today, and then he left immediately for a nato meeting in brussels. The white house today released these photos of mr. Pompeo meeting with and shaking hands with the north korean dictator on a secret trip that he took last month. Pompeos confirmation by the senate today and the north and south korea senate thats happening right now as i speak, it comes just weeks before what is apparently still planned to be a meeting between kim jong un, the north korean dictator, and o

The leaders of the House Veterans Affairs Committee are facing a number of challenges in the year ahead, when they will try to set new priorities for addressing a department riddled with years of leadership challenges.
In separate interviews, Chairman Mark Takano, D-Calif., and ranking member Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., said they were looking forward to working with newly confirmed VA Secretary Denis McDonough on issues including the treatment of women veterans, the vulnerability of veterans in cyberspace, and the way VA health facilities, especially state veterans’ homes, have handled COVID-19.
During the Trump administration, the VA was beset with problems related to leadership. After firing secretary Dave Shulkin via tweet in 2018, Trump nominated White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson, who withdrew from consideration after questions arose about his creation of a hostile work environment and inappropriate work behavior.
