You don’t hate the media enough, dear readers. Need a new example to refresh your memory since the last one just a handful of hours ago? OK, I shall oblige you. This one relates to the process of supporting our heroes through the work of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
What do you think a story with the following Washington Post headline will be about? “VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs.”
It sounds really negative, right? Like something is sure to happen that will leave our servicemembers and veterans in the lurch? That could lead to, I dunno, less than ideal medical care for the very people we owe our freedoms? Heck, it might even kill people, to use the histrionic language of the leftists.
In lieu of recycling any of The Washington Post’s exclusive reporting in these pages (anyone who would like to can visit the link, after all; I don’t recommend it), just take a gander at how they shared it on their X account:
Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.
The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.https://t.co/pRrWx7VfrG

Before we move ahead, can I just ask aloud whether the alleged “journalist” or editor at WaPo intentionally hunted down the most dopey looking photo of VA Secretary Doug Collins that he or she could find? It appears that way, to me.

As he should, Sec. Collins blisters them, showing that he is not about to take this cow manure from the dishonest publication situated in the muck of The Swamp. He writes on his X account about the “fake news”:
This is fake news from serial plagiarist Lisa Rein (@FedGirlWaPo). No VA employees are being removed, and this will have zero impact on Veteran care. All we’re doing is taking unfilled and unnecessary positions off the books. Most of these positions haven’t been filled in a year… https://t.co/rZwI2E2HQ1

The post ends with: “Most of these positions haven’t been filled in a year or more, and all Department of Veteran Affairs medical facilities continue to fill vacancies as needed.” As we wrote, this is not the first time Collins has been forced to call out these miscreants using fear tactics over veterans’ care.

In case you missed his walloping (rhetorically speaking) of a CNN host, it was epic.
Every time, readers, that the media seems to have reached rock bottom, they find a new way to disgust us with their sick and twisted machinations. To try to use our military heroes and their emotions in this way is unconscionable. If anyone deserves to have calm and sureness in how their health is managed as the years pass, it’s our men and women in uniform, when they are serving and after they’ve decided to put away their marching boots for good. They should not be troubled by the shooflies that claim to be investigative reporters, or even journalists, at a wretched hive of villainy like WaPo. I thank God that my own late father, who served in the Army National Guard for the state of Indiana, never had to deal with the government for his healthcare.
Anyway, let’s move on. I think it’s instructive in moments like this to recall the wise counsel about “our liberal friends,” by President Ronald Reagan, who picked up the moniker “The Gipper”… appropriate now that we’re officially in NCAA bowl season. (See The NCAA College Bowl Season Schedule Kicks Off, From Army Vs. Navy to the Playoffs, my colleague Brad Slater’s monster list that dropped on Saturday, kids!)
This seems like the best thing to end with. Tell ’em, Ronnie:
