We have secured contracts to utilize primary care positions from within the community and the future. I have spoken to veterans. Congress and service organizations, and other stakeholders. During those visits, i have found v. A. Employees to be overwhelmingly dedicated to serving veterans and driven by our strong v. A. Institutional values of integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect, and held in this acronym, i care. We will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure accountability. There are over 100 ongoing investigations at v. A. Facilities. By the department of justice, the office of special counsel, case, we willage take the appropriate disciplinary actions when all the facts and evidence are known. But we will not wait to provide veterans the care they have already earned. Going forward, we will focus on sustainable accountability. More than just adverse personnel actions, this means creating a culture where all employees understand how their daily work supports our mission, ou
All they can do is gobble up the money and make excuses for systemic failures. Government breakdown. Thats tonight. This is the independents. Hi there im kennedy, hostess, along with the unflappable reason editor in chief matt welch and a man who reads more books than the library. Kmele foster from freethink media and together we are the independents. President isnt the only one plagued by scandals as question so much government. Congress is despised, the va is unmanageable and every institution is burstinga the seams. The agency that is supposed to keep superbugs from invading our shores is too busy wasting money in resources telling people how much salt we should put on steaks. Do the agencies overextend themselves . And how can you refocus the behemoth in the middle of colossal breakdowns. Glenn reynolds is the editor at instapundit. Com, and how multitasking may put many at risk for contracting a deadly disease like ebola. Glenn, welcome back to the independents. Thanks for having
Elegal s. E. A. L. Team six killed in afghanistan during a weekend rescue mission, identified as Nicolas Checque. Serving his country thats what he wanted to do.

Danny woodhead had the ball punched out, in the lands of lloyd, touchdown complete domination by brady and the patriots. And all that matters. I was recently taken in a provocative photo but i was sitting on santas lap. And you should have seen the smile on santas face. Manny pacquiao was knocked out.

Get together and they just work it out. And then it comes back and everyone is smiling and happy and they pass it and then the bill goes to the president. Its not exactly that way. Its a lot of give and take. Now, sometimes you do have a bill thats not as complex, thats easier and it can go smoothly. But how a bill really becomes a law, you know, it depends on whos in the room, it depends on whats happening nationwide, it depends on who the president is, its so many different things. So we were able to do this. So a year ago we passed it in the senate and tomorrow i believe were going to pass the conference report. The agreement will cost roughly the same as the senatepassed bill and well blow the last wrda bill. I have to say why. Because as we authorize projects, we deauthorized old projects and thats important. So we were able to go almost better than one or one, deauthorizing and authorizing. And also we had a very good talk with the c. B. O. , the congressional budget office, whic

Public health i know theres been some delays in implementing some provisions. I also recognize and thanks to the ability of the fda to regulate these products, strides has been made during that time. The center for Tobacco Products has been key. Thats whos charged with thi
