A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Slams Vets Admin For Damning 900,000 Vets To Health Care Hell

English: President George W. Bush and President-elect Barack Obama meet in the Oval Office of the White House Monday, November 10, 2008. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Slams Vets Admin For Damning 900,000 Vets To Health Care Hell: From Denny:  Like President Obama was warned when coming into his first term by outgoing President Bush 43, "Somewhere, every day, there is someone screwing up in the federal government."  Truer words could never have been spoken.  Who knew Bush was a government prophet?

For decades there have been serious problems going on at the Veterans Administration.  Along comes a new President and he throws a healthy extra billion dollars at the VA to fix the current problem, and, you guessed it, taxpayers are not getting their money's worth.

What it amounts to is that basically two greedy battling tech competitors set about to screw over 900,000 disabled veterans in desperate need of medical treatments and surgeries.  Does the insane and depraved indifference of greed never stop?  It's shameful what is happening over at the VA...

A Truth Journal: Who Should Be In Charge of Those Drones Bombing Terrorists: CIA or Pentagon?

Drone State? (Photo credit: Truthout.org)

A Truth Journal: Who Should Be In Charge of Those Drones Bombing Terrorists: CIA or Pentagon?: From Denny:  Can it be the CIA numbers more poor judgment cowboys than the Pentagon?  It sure looks like President Obama seems to think so over the objections of the Senators who overseer the intelligence community and the drone program.  These senators are arguing in favor of keeping the current two-pronged version of the drone program with the CIA in addition to the Pentagon.

From Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, expresses little confidence the Defense Department (DOD) would exercise the same restraint with the controversial drone program that the CIA has exhibited admirably.

And Sen. Feinstein boldly stated this to the Defense News, "We've watched the intelligence aspect of the drone program, how they function, the quality of the intelligence, watching the [CIA] agency exercise patience and discretion.  The military [armed drone] program has not done that nearly as well."

A Truth Journal: Hassled Chuck Hagel Won Vote, Starts 1st Day as Sec. of Defense

A Truth Journal: Hassled Chuck Hagel Won Vote, Starts 1st Day as Sec. of Defense: From Denny:  After a nasty and outrageously contentious beatdown from his fellow Republicans intent on punishing him for publicly disagreeing with Bush 43's Iraq War, Chuck Hagel found at least four Republicans willing to vote for him yesterday.

From Denny:  Ever heard of "Irish Obedience Training?"  Yeah, me neither!  Because we all know the Irish storytellers are irrepressible - and full of mischief like their fabled leprechauns.  Sport your amusing support of all the frivolity and green beer on St. Patrick's Day with this new look from denny lyon designs at Cafe Press.  Plenty of other products available in this design so you have plenty to choose from over at Denny Lyon Gifts!

The proceeds go to help support those groups who are housing and helping homeless female military veterans get off the streets.  Denny Lyon (yeah, that's me) is a journalist-blogger (so bored with homogenized news I started my own blogs just to entertain myself and my readers!), photographer and Louisiana artist intensely interested in social issues.

I saw a news report on NBC News, Nightly News with Brian Williams, about the more than 5,000 homeless female military vets that the Pentagon was not helping so I decided to start this fund raising effort over at Cafe Press (Denny Lyon Gifts) to help raise funds for the women.  The majority of these former female vets end up on the streets because of PTSD from being raped while serving in the military.

Dennys Funny Quotes: Cookie Monster Hunted By German Police: Alleged Golden Cookie Theft

source:  Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung

Dennys Funny Quotes: Cookie Monster Hunted By German Police: Alleged Golden Cookie Theft: From Denny:  Cookie Monster is in trouble - again!  His alleged cookie addiction could cost him some time behind bars if he doesn't get a lenient judge who can sympathize with his plight. Of course, an extortion letter to a German newspaper may not prove to be helpful.  German police are investigating.

You see, Cookie Monster has now made Bahlsen, a popular German cookie maker in Hanover, Germany, world famous with his alleged theft of their trademark iconic giant golden cookie sign, a gilded bronze sculpture.  It's been reported in America and across The Pond in the UK and Europe.

Cookie Monster allegedly claimed responsibility for the sneaky theft.  His demand letter?  CM allegedly wants Bahlsen to...

A Truth Journal: Why Wont Pentagon Pay For PTSD Service Dogs For Returning Soldiers?

A Truth Journal: Why Wont Pentagon Pay For PTSD Service Dogs For Returning Soldiers?:  From Denny:  This new fledgling effort service dogs project in Louisiana between two vets has the potential to significantly lower the funding necessary for mental health costs for our soldiers returning from the battlefield.  Yet the Pentagon and Veteran Affairs slough it off as meaningless.  In the home for 24 hours a day, service dogs are always cheaper than years of talk and drug therapy with expensive psychiatrists on a weekly or monthly basis.

A Christmas Post: True Christmas Story: Funny Christmas Conversations

A Christmas Post: True Christmas Story: Funny Christmas Conversations: From Denny:  Think back. How much can you remember about the things your parents used to tell you about Santa? This Christmas Eve my husband and I started that conversation. Though we have been married many years there were still some things we did not know about each other.

We laughed about the incredible stories our parents told us on Christmas Eve. It was becoming a contest between whose parents were the most outrageous storytellers.

Do you remember the funny and downright lame excuses your parents used to give you when talking about Santa coming to visit on Christmas Eve? 3 videos.

Comfort Food From Louisiana: 8 Roast Turkey Recipes: Thanksgiving and Christmas

Comfort Food From Louisiana: 8 Roast Turkey Recipes: Thanksgiving and Christmas: From Denny:  Looking for an interesting recipe twist to the holiday dinner?  Want a modern version of a classic turkey recipe?  Whether it's Thanksgiving or Christmas good cooks everywhere like to try a new recipe for the holidays every now and then.

Now matter how much we love tradition there are those times when a new recipe is the hit of the season and the family says, "This one is a winner; make it for next year too!"  And that's how many food traditions start.

I'm one of those cooks that likes to compare a pack of recipes against each other to determine which I like best.  Sometimes, I'm just searching for a good tweak on what I'm already making for the feast.  Other years I'm just so bored making the same ol' thing I have to have a change somewhere in the menu.

A Truth Journal: Will Your Kids' Mock Election Votes Influence Your Vote?

Voting is Patriotic (USA) (Photo credit: farlane)

From Denny:   As a way to teach students the election process mock elections occurred across the country last week.  Right here in Louisiana, involving 88,600 students across the state from 280 public, private and home schooling, they voted President Obama into a second term.  Louisiana broke for Obama by a margin of 51.29 percent to Romney's 48.71 percent.

From Angie Franklin, the gifted program teacher at Peabody Montessori in Alexandria, Louisiana,  "Our objective was to make sure the kids here in the school knew what the election process was.  And why it's so important, every four years, to vote."

A Truth Journal: Laugh: Jon Stewart Tells It Like It Is About VP Debate

A Truth Journal: Laugh: Jon Stewart Tells It Like It Is About VP Debate: From Denny:  Junkyard dog VP Joe Biden smacked down his snarky Republican opponent, Paul Ryan, in the first few nano seconds of the debate.

Then Biden picked up the dazed talking parrot and slammed him against the barn door for lying every time he opened his mouth with phony statistics and fantasy GOP sponsored "studies."  Debate done; Biden won hands down.  We were all cheering at our house as this was the best TV we had seen in years.

Just check out all the funny news clips Jon Stewart collected from the sore loser side, the Republicans.  These three video clips are hilarious; the truth revealed in fast time.  The best is how Stewart took my fellow journalists to task for some really childish reporting, something I've fussed about for years.

The Social Poets: New Denny Lyon Designs: 11 September 2001 Anniversary Yard Sign, T-Shirt

The Social Poets: New Denny Lyon Designs: 11 September 2001 Anniversary Yard Sign, T-Shirt: From Denny:  Today is a special day of remembrance here in America and many parts of the world.  I created this design for my reader friends over at the Pentagon, White House, CIA, State Department and FBI for this anniversary to let them know I was thinking of them.

Proceeds go to funding my charity for homeless female military veterans.  Currently, there are only a couple of half-way houses in North Carolina - woefully underfunded - desperately trying to address the problem of over 5,000 homeless women vets.  The majority are young single mothers.

So, I'm raising funds using my art, creativity and photos for the effort, designing for a wide variety of products over at Cafe Press: clothing, technology, signage, home decor, drink ware, stationery and more.  Please take a look at Denny Lyon Gifts and express your support for the fallen - and those still healing.

Hurricane Vampire Survivor Mousepad

The Social Poets: Hurricane Adventure: Cooking by Candlelight on the Bayou: From Denny:  Have you ever noticed that when you go off the grid your mind turns to comedy?  OK, during a hurricane the mind often slides on down toward dark humor.

After all, your brain is geared up to engage with technology and suddenly finds itself in total withdrawal.  And, it's a good thing that humor was created.  It's the best weapon in the human arsenal for survival.

I went off the grid for three days - and hot sweaty nights - during the very long week of Hurricane Isaac...

Dennys: News Politics Comedy Science Arts & Food: 227 Posts Roundup at Dennys Blogs 1 August 2012: From Denny:  With about 100 days until the 2012 election for a new President or a second term for President Obama, there is a lot stirring around in the news.  Both the Romney and Obama campaigns are working hard to influence opinion polls and the news coverage.

Somewhere along the way the truth has been buried.  Yet scandal after scandal emerges from the Obama administration while Romney stumbles with international gaffes.  All this explains why the polls reveal two-thirds of America thinks we are on the wrong track.

New Denny Lyon Design: Funny Fathers Day

Father's Day Star Ceramic Travel Mug

From Denny:  So, I'm sitting on the couch laughing with my husband about what I can design for Father's Day that people could gift to the father in their life any day of the year.  We started listing all the things Dads do for their families just like mothers.  Today's generation of fathers are far more engaged in their family life than previous generations and I thought how great it would be to celebrate that positive change in American society.

There are two versions of this Dad Star, one in red font and one in blue font.  Many men love the color blue so I thought I'd accommodate them.  But hey, every father on his morning work commute can look at his travel coffee mug and get a smile for the day as he is reminded of how much his family appreciates him.

New Denny Lyon Design: Show Military How Much You Appreciate Their Service

Sacrifice Men's Baseball Jersey T-Shirt

No sacrifice is ever left behind or forgotten *thank you*

From Denny:  Since it's Memorial Day weekend coming up I was thinking about all the military vets who feel America does not appreciate their service or their many sacrifices.  I was even visiting a national cemetery here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the war dead beginning with the Civil War.  There were even soldiers from Massachusetts buried here in the South.

It's odd how looking around in obscure forgotten places few people visit any more that you can still feel the eerie sense of loss even a century later of lives not fulfilled or appreciated.  So, I decided to design this T-shirt for us to wear to publicly remind service members that the public IS aware of their sacrifices AND also appreciative.

The psychic wound of the returning Vietnam soldiers still hurts today all these decades later.  Just ask anyone who served back then.  Let them know how you feel today.  I know I sure don't like war or believe most wars are necessary but that still does not negate all the many sacrifices the individual service members and their families make on a daily basis, often for many years.

If you wish to purchase this shirt or many other products with this design, click on the shirt image or go here to Denny Lyon Gifts.  Thank you for your support!

Designed New Warriors Pearl Logo, Foundation to Help Homeless Women Vets

From Denny:  Finally settled on my first version of the Warriors Pearl Foundation logo as I get this new Cafe Press store up and running.  I can tell this is going to be a grind to develop enough designs and then the laborious process of attaching them to the products in order to launch online awareness to fund this foundation.

But hey, I'm up for the challenge.  Just wish this didn't take so long because the one thing that drives me is knowing 5,000 women are living homeless - and winter is coming...  No one should ever be homeless in America, especially single mothers of young children which many of these women are.

Then it's on to marketing the individual product pages and placing them into the search engines and on social sites.  Need to remember to place promos for the products in related blog posts too.  I wonder if this will take as long as it did with the blogs - a couple of years???

Warriors Pearl Foundation: Helping Homeless Female Military Veterans

From Denny:  Writing so much on politics and news sure can spur a person to action.  There are over 5,000 homeless female military veterans here in America.  Many are on the streets because they were raped while serving in the military.

The Pentagon rarely takes the rapists to task, demotes or prosecutes them.  Women wait for decades hoping for justice.  Many are so traumatized, some by military gang rape, they are suffering from PTSD.  They end up in to drugs and prostitution.  It's time to bring them home.

There are also over 100,000 homeless male military veterans from many wars, Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan. They too are suffering from PTSD and need our help.  Getting the national politicians to actually care and then do something significant to help our wounded warriors is a monumental effort.

I'm fed up with waiting for Congress and this President to do the right thing.  My call to action was to begin the funding process for this new foundation:  Warriors Pearl Foundation.  I've started a new store up on Cafe Press Denny Lyon Gifts to sell T-shirts and other products.  The images are my own photography and art work combined with interesting insightful quotes.  I'll be adding to the product list, so be sure to check back often.

Also, have a $3 donation button up on all the 22 blogs.  The proceeds, like from the Denny Lyon Gifts, will all go to the Warriors Pearl Foundation.  Thank you for your support and hope you enjoy the goodies!
