Shutdown Day 14… Urban Legends???

Progress?  Same as the previous days… Zip, zilch… And it appears the administration has remained ‘strangely’ quiet on the vets march and VA and Vet issues.  It appears their sole reaction was to deploy police in riot gear… And it … Continue reading

Shutdown Days 11-12-13…

Zip, zilch, nada out of DC other than hot air… But the Vets decided to pay visits to various places including the WWII Memorial and Lincoln Memorial.  Pics and article HERE.  And apparently they delivered some “Barrycades” to the White … Continue reading
