The Washington Examiner, Free Republic
Fri, 12/09/2016 - 7:42pm

Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald argued no VA hospital is "bad" in a letter to USA Today on Friday, just one day after the publication exposed an internal rating system that showed several clinics in Texas and Tennessee had received low marks. "To be clear, no VA medical facility is bad or failing," wrote McDonald and Sloan Gibson, his deputy, in a letter that was obtained by the Washington Examiner.

  • Trump Fumes In Court as Biden Campaigns
    Political Wire, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 06:37 PM

    Politico: “If the opening week of Trump’s hush-money trial laid bare the courtroom’s constraints on Trump, no single 24-hour stretch demonstrated the extreme asymmetry of the unfolding campaign more than Tuesday. There was Biden making campaign stops with fawning supporters of abortion rights in Tampa, Florida, while Trump was sitting in a “freezing” Manhattan courtroom, with barely any supporters in sight.” Said Trump: “He’s out campaigning, and I’m here in the courtroom, sitting here, sitting up as straight as I can all day long.” He added: “It’s a very unfair situation.

  • Trump Trial Day 2: Gag Order And A Pecker
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 06:16 PM

    Day 2 of the Donald Trump Election Interference Criminal Trial was a rocky one - for Donald Trump and his lawyers. It started off with the long awaited Gag Order Hearing where Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, got the legal equivalent of a tongue lashing that surely left bruises. A bit of the highlights, from both sides: Out of the gate. "Defendant has violated this order repeatedly and hasn't stopped," prosecutor says, adding that Trump even did it on Monday in the halls of the courtroom. — Kaelan Deese (@KaelanDC) April 23, 2024 Lots of back and forth about posts and statements, but the prosecutors make it clear that they have Trump's number.
