VA Secretary McDonough states “We have to execute on the assignments we have… We have to make sure that veterans who have filed their claims get a timely answer and we have to ensure that veterans who have enrolled with us can get into care in a timely way.” Of course, we have no mention of the accuracy of the claim decisions, or the quality of the care provided to veterans. Both of these problems create a vicious cycle for veterans who end up filing multiple claims over decades to receive an accurate decision. The truth of the matter is the VA is notorious for faking success through skewed statistics that skirt the real problems. Tracking the number of claims processed is much easier than tracking accuracy. It is also extremely ambiguous when remands are counted as new claims and/or the VBA can send claims to the BVA to remove them from the count. He further states “The way we understand an individual veteran’s experience is strengthened by the more we know about his or her unit. So, every veteran that files a claim helps give us a more complete picture of that veteran’s units.” So, if I am hearing this correctly, disability should be connected to occupational hazards in the military, which would mean that disability claims could be supported by association with specific military units? So far, all I see is association by geographic region, which is ambiguous and requires no admission of wrongdoing by DOD when it comes to occupational hazards. The VA could care less about occupational hazards, especially given the fact the VA doesn't employ any occupational hazard specialists to treat veterans or provide medical opinions for DBQ exams. Everything I hear in this interview is the same propaganda and skewed statistics we have heard for decades from VA leadership too far removed from the realities of the VA at the lower levels.    #VA #Veterans #SECVA #VeteransAffairs #leadershipfail

Wrong Way Drivers. They have gone from being an occasional danger on our roads to a regular destroyer of families. In the tiny state of Connecticut, there were 23 wrong-way driver deaths in 2022. 2023 started with a high-profile State Representative being killed by a Wrong Way Driver coming home from the Governor's Inaugural Ball. Surely, there is an explanation as to why we are seeing more incidences of Wrong Way Drivers. Are people so focused on their GPS that they don't notice that all of the street signs are not facing in their direction? Are they busy texting while driving? One of the things that I believe that we should adopt from our friends in Europe is how they point drivers where the car should enter a turn or a roundabout. They have a blue circular sign with a white arrow that is down just above curb height (where your eyes are focused as you are turning), making it quite apparent where you are supposed to be entering. (If you have driven in Europe you know firsthand how helpful those signs can be!) ↘ We here in the US use a black and white sign that is typically 8 feet off of the ground (oftentimes perpendicular to where you are at the time you are entering the turn) and it shows that you need to keep right or keep left. Stay alert out there...and make sure that you are seeing the side of the road signs that actually have writing on them! ⛔ ⛔ ⛔ #safety #driversafety #drivertraining #nhtsa #fleetmanagement #whateverittakes Motorlease Corporation

Justice comes in different forms. https://lnkd.in/ebiSMj2n

JLP40 was the culmination of 7 years of hard work, dedication, and a relentless pursuit to help transform families nationwide through our highly skilled and passionate veteran community. @senatorjacquilambie is now a part of the @veteranmentors family due to our shared values, military background, and shared passion for this country’s youth. Leadership comes in many forms, from delegating to hard work and setting an example. Jacqui’s leadership is like no other. To have one of the most popular Australian Senators spend 9 days on the program and take the washing burden off the mentors was a very surreal moment and one the team will never forget. Seventy kids’ uniforms and PT clothes washed daily, plus all 24 of the staff, meant she was up at 0530 working on the program and working well past 0100 every night washing without missing out on her picquet. When asked to abseil by a participant, even though it was clear her back was giving her misery like all us vets, she pushed through regardless. That was an experience she wasn’t going to deny this participant, regardless of any pain or discomfort. Find me one other Senator that would do this and put herself through such discomfort just to bond with the veteran community and transform the lives of children on the frontlines. Jacqui, I am honored to have served alongside you those last 9 days, and the whole crew at Veteran Mentors looks at you as a sister. The amazing reputation you have and work ethic is really second to none. A true Aussie hero. One of many magical moments is when Jacqui listened to Caitlin’s story around the fire the same story she shared with the Royal commission into veteran suicide which will be apart of Jacqui’s legacy. #rsl #youthdevelopment #youthprogram #youthcrime #youthmentalhealth #youthempowerment #youthwork #veterans #veteranmentors #youthempowerment #youthengagement #youthleadership #youthwork #youthleadership #anxietyawareness #anxietytherapy #anxietytreatment #depression #depressiontreatment #selfcare #selfesteem #veteranshelpingveterans #veteranownedbusiness #veterancommunity Jacqui Lambie

NH IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE https://lnkd.in/eTQ3Wsn6

I will tell you what I learned: The whole indictment is fake and has no merit and has no legal basis in fact, law or judicial precedence. Couple that with the fact this Smith HAS BE REVERSED ON APPEAL BOTH AT THE US COURT OF APPEALS LEVEL AND SCOTUS, IN EVERY SINGLE CASE, EVER, WHEN AN APPEALED IS LODGED AGAINST EITHER OF THEM BY AN INNOCENT DEFENDANT (ALL OF THE DEFENDANTS WERE) ALONG WITH HIS MINION AND ANOTHER LEGAL JOKE ANDREW WEISSMAN, THIS GUY NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO THE BAR OR LAW SCHOOL. In fact when you look at these fake cases against the GREATEST USA PRESIDENT EVER IN WORLD HISTORY, DONALD JOHN TRUMP, and then you LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE SO-CALLED 46 CRIME FAMILY, WHERE JOE, HUNTER AND THE WHOLE FAMILY ENGAGED IN BRIBERY TO THE LEVEL OF AT LEAST $80M TO POSSIBLY $100M, WHICH THANKS TO THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE IS NOW COMING OUT AND THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA CARTELS AND THE MAIN STREAM SOCIAL MEDIA CARTELS CAN NO LONGER SUPPRESS IT OR SPIN IT AS THEY DID IN 2020 WITH HUNTER'S LAPTOP AS "RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION", the only people doing criminal acts and committing felonies appear to be Democrats like so-called 46. That is what I learned. ALL CASES AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST BE DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE AND THE PROSECUTORS NEED TO BE INDICTED AND JAILED ON NO BAIL WARRANTS. Period. You have no idea how much I despise these people and what they have done to MY country the USA.

America has a long-standing history of threats and attacks related to mail, a trend that dates back to the early 1900s. While these threats often target politicians, the breadth, frequency, and potential danger associated with mail-based threats are on the rise. Last week, officials in Albany revealed that New York State Legislature's bill drafting office suffered a suspected cyberattack. The specifics of the attack remain unclear, but it led to the temporary shutdown of the drafting system, significantly disrupting legislative work as members raced to finalize the state’s budget bills. In addition to the loss of time and productivity, the average cost of a cyberattack on companies is approximately $4.5 million. However, this figure is dwarfed by the potential costs associated with postal service attacks. Consider the 2001 anthrax mail attacks, which cost $320 million in decontamination efforts alone, resulted in a three-year loss of property use, caused 26 injuries, and led to five deaths. By 2024, the CDC estimates that the cost of an anthrax attack could range from $477 million to $26.2 billion per 100,000 people. At SoBran, we recognize the critical importance of security, whether for government entities or private businesses. The recent cyber incident in Albany underscores the perpetual need for vigilance. As our lives become more digitally interconnected, it is crucial to proactively secure all systems - digital and physical - to avoid such disruptions. SafeMail by SoBran is designed to protect not just government and business communications but also personal exchanges between friends and family via hard copy mail and packages. Securing these interactions is not only about safety but also reflects our commitment to trust, transparency, and the preservation of our information ecosystem. By working together, we can maintain these values and ensure a safer, more secure future for everyone.
