Whoever is tapped to head the Veteran’s Administration nothing will change not one ioda. The outcry of disaproval is loud and clear, but let us tell everyone the Facts of Life. While we all heard the old expression “a New Broom Sweeps Clean “We would bet our bottom dollar it’s not going to happen. First off The top Echelon are all the high level and mid level employees most likely are not going anywhere they will most likely be kept around as not to loose the time in for their pensions & will continue on the VA’s Employ untill they put in for their retirement papers.
Secondly no lower level workers will see a pink slip.They are either Political Appointees or Union & its harder than pulling teeth to send them to the Unemployment line..Gone are the days of Ronald Reagan along with the AirTraffic Controller firing just not going to happen in 2017.
Thirdly the VA lures Doctors and Nurses to work for them with huge sign on bonuses and the VA is not going to throw way their investment. Lets clue in all the workers in the VA’s employ..Just in case anybody forgot the VA does not exsist so the workers an make a living but to serve the Veteran..that’s all.
We would like to find the answer what’s wrong with all the zippers on today’s jackets? Why are they faulty? Zippers separating from the track mid way down making it a hassle to some how zipper it all the way up .
This never occurred years ago in the 1950″s. To the 1980″s.Whether the Zipper is either plastic or metal it doesn’t seem to matter.Its not a workable item today anymore..
Then there is the dual Zipper. I’ve yet been able to master its proper way of use. \Worse yet why in the world do some manufacturers reverse the zipper on the left side instead of the right. Are these reverse Zippered intended for Foreign Markets outside the U.S. or intended for Left Handed Individuals ?
By the way it runs about $35 to either repair or replace a Jacket Zipper. My advise to you is buy a jacket with buttons if your able to find one
The Government and for the moment I’m speaking of the county and town governments of Nassau County. There are 3 Towns,Hempstead, North Hempstead & Oyster Bay , 2 cities Long Beach and Glen Cove,64 incorporated village & 100 unincorporated villages should be Federalized or taken over by the state.
I don’t know what you think, But We here at The Lerman Report. Com think the varius Municipal Governments are totally out of control. None of these Municipal Entities exsist for the purpose of it elected officials non-elected officals, civil servants and political appointees to make a living..They exsist soley to run the government thats all. Enough is enough the politicians are giving away the store just self serving without any forthought for the Hardworking Taxpayer. The brakes have to be put on the wasteful spending..start by giving out pink slips to plum political patronege jobs..more scrutiny on each and every company that does work for various Gov’ts within & Nassau County.
30 years ago interest rate on a CD was 18% the municipalities made back their input to the civil pensions in 3 years..today interest is less than 1% .Today a Civil servant works for 20 years retires at 38 and with the lifespan & longevity the way it is can live up to 90 and collect for 50years..Uterly Outrageous! The extra fee on moving violations ,the red light cameras,the speeding cameras,the Town of Hempstead giveaway to the Green Acres Mall Developers voted by a non elected board and dont tell us that something of this magnitude didn’t pass muster with the higher ups? Managno and Venditto (Oyster Bay Town Supervisor)under federal incitement. Not only did the politicians sell out the future of this once great County but the present as well..Time for a big shakeup.
Nassau County Executive Ed mangano has proposed an additional fee which will be added on in addition to the actual ticket cost of a moving motor vehicle violation which is slated to go to fund police overtime & rising Police salaries.. Why should should Mr. And Mrs. Motorist pay for the county’s mismanagement of our taxes .We in Nassau County pay amoung the highest taxes nationwide,let the politician’s’start giving out some pink slips & layoff some feather betting jobs along with all the other plum political patronege jobs and save us from this fee. Its bad enough that I our auto insurance carriers tie into the DMV computor and when they see that we were ticketed our insurance rates go up. This new fee lends itself to perhaps overzealous police officers to engage in a speed up of some kind issuing more tickets since the extra revenue goes to fund the Police in one way or another…
We here at the Lerman Report would like to see The N.Y. State troopers take over all patroling on each and every state road in The County.. We are paying into the State coffers for thier services ..lets utilize them..also You can replace a Policeman with an Emt to arrive at an auto accident to take down the info ..You don’t need a high priced Police Officer to do that.Also ever read your tax bill ..well the Police Brass take a very big chunk out of the tax pie.They deserve a cut and out whatever the savings derived from that put towards the Rank and File Officers. Also cut starting back on Salary & pension give aways for top Brass .This fee is nothing but a crying shame on the motorist back…enough is enough..time to vote them all out of office..they no longer have our interest at heart.
There is an old expression” Please don’t Pee on my back and tell me its Raining”. There has to be an Independent Investigation into the Tax giveaway to the Green Acres Developers. The public will accept nothing short of complete reversal and if anything is found not to be above board .. Imprisonment for everyone on that board including each & every Politican involved. Don’t tell me that all the leadership in the TOH knew nothing..nobody buys that..Its very odd that non-elected board members vote on this travesty while the elected politicians sit buy and and dont have their hands sullied. We have to believe in our heart of hearts that something of this magnatude had to pass muster with the higher ups. Now board members are resigning left & right..well if you done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide then why are you resigning ? Ultimately in our opinion Town of Hempstead Presiding Supervisor Anthony Santino must be held to accountable too,after all he’s the top man on the totum pole in the Town of Hempstead. Now all the politicians are decrying the deal.. There’s no use shuting the barn door once the horses escape..To all TOH politician’s ” Please dont Bullshit a Bullshiter ” TODAY VALLEY STREAM tomorrow your town..
How many folks reading this post have ever been craped on by the Office manager of your Doctor’s office? Sooner or later we will all feel the Office Manager’s rath. They are rude, nasty, Disrespectful and downright inconsiderate. Do the Doctors accually know how they are treating their patients? Some do some don’t Doctors generally give their office staff a certain amount of autonomy.Having said that every businessman will tell you that if anybody in their employ had that miserable attitude,they would be shown the door. Somehow It seems to bypass Doctors. I had a wonderful Doctor..However l will no longer go to him due to the office managers attitude
We often find it a bit unbelievable when the day after the election that you first hear about Who will be White House Chief of Staff, or in this case that the press knew nothing of Steve Bannon’s top involvement & slated to be Trumps right hand man.We don’t by that for one minute. Not one press agency or reporter neither print or broadcast ever made mention of this.. Someone known for leaning & supporting White Supremacy & it was hushed up? Trump was supposed to clean up the Swamp of Washington DC..looks like he bullshited his voting base and is now either softening or reneging on his campaign promises only one day after the election. While where not fans of Chris Christi with Bridgegate looming over him & The 23 cents a gallon Gasoline increase in Jersey, But after Christi lended his support all through the campaign to sort if drop him like a hot potato because Christi prosecuted Trump’s son in laws Father..you tell me that Trump was of aware of that situation at day one ? The first 100 days in office is supposed to be a Honeymoon period with the press looks like there’s really no need for a “Honeymoon’ since it just about appears that the press was in bed with him all along.
Can anybody enlightened me as to what is the mystique of Sriracha condiment and Salted Carmel? I tried this Sriraacha sauce..its a big zero ..nothing to wright home about .. a mediocre second-rate preparation if I ever saw one.Yet every place is on the Sriracha bandwagon.. Why ? I personally would take a Tabasco style sauce any day, Franks Red Hot or El Tappatio etc. I went to a famous Sea Food restaurant & ordered Sriracha Shrimp all it was shrimp with some Sriiracha sauce squeezed on it..This is cooking ? My favorite is a Vietnamese preparation Sambal Oelek (more like a pastes than a sauce),.Someone must own stock in some sort of Sriracha farm perhaps it’s their reason for pushing this product big time. Then their is Sriracha’s good friend “Salted Carmel”again someone must own stock in Carmel production because it’s all over the place.. why every shmuck and his brother are selling the same food product that has or is ‘Salted Carmel’ You be the Judge is it worth anything? We say no
Does any one think in their right mind that congress will ever reform and police themselves.. It ain’t gonna happen. It irkes me too that these old cadavers can still roam the halls of Congress & the Senate untill the day they die. They have plenty of pull as long time incumbents they pull the strings in their party & stay in office.The only way that it will ever cease to happen if we find not only Democrat law makers have a Trough to feed from such as USAID but Republicans also wind up drinking from USAID or have a source of their own that their feeding from.Hmmm?

Don’t watch reruns of Hogans Heros.The false portrayal of POW’S is downright insulting to our men and woman who served in the Armed Forces and were POW”S.When you see the old T.V. series Hogan’ s Heros starring Bob Crane,Richard Dawson it paints a false picture of all fun and games for the POW’S.They all appear to be having a great time of fun and camaraderie..This is the furthest from the truth for the WWII German POW Camp inside a German Stalag or The Hanoi Hilton or for the Poor Souls who endured the Bataan Death March of WWII and if they survived that they were led to a Japanese POW camp.
I personally had an Uncle who was an American serviceman captured in North Africa by Romels invading Army and sent to a German Stalag. The beatings the Torture and stuff that went there that we can’t even begin to print here. There was even a POW WWII movie starring Peter Graves,Harvey Lembrick & William Holden..Much if the same false picture being portrayed.It was far from the reality of a POW camp ..Once again it was all fun & games in the Pow camp just like as “The Hogan’s Heroes” T.V.Show.
Whenever you see a War movie and you see the soldiers wearing official U.S. Army uniforms or even referring to themselves as U.S Army they enjoy the complete blessing and approval of the Pentagon .Even when portraying a Post Office Employee for that matter and they are in shown wearing official Post office attire be rest assured it has the complete blessing & approval of UNCLE SAM as well. In other words perhaps our government wants this image to be shown as to soften what is the true reality of war is really like.
If Uncle Sam dislikes the content of the script in any way shape, manner or form then it doesn’t give its approval to use official U.S. Uniform & insignia’s in that particular film. I saw many 3 stooges clips and the U.S.Army didn’t approve of their portrayal of The Army & they had to use non official UNIFORMS & badges in their films ..DO NOT FEED INTO THIS GROSS DECEPTION OF THE THAT THEY ARE PRESENTING.
DO NOT WATCH IT WHEN ITS IN SYNDICATION & REFRAIN FROM BUYING ANYTHING THAT THE SPONSOS SELLS.
