Update for stimulus SS,SSDI and VA bad news

So the IRS finally announced a date if you get SSI,SSDI your payment date is April 7th if you are Veterans Affairs your date is a vague Mid-April.

To say this is causing an uproar on social media towards the administration is putting it mildly. My veteran group is claiming Biden is to blame which is not true of course but being a lone firefighter is not going to help with this blaze. Especially after it was announced last week was one of the largest influx of pure cash from people just willing to stockpile their $1400 and didn’t need it

Stimulus round 3 SS,SSI,SSDI and VA *updated*

Apparently there is a problem and the finger pointing has begun. In phone calls to the IRS they say they have not received information of non filers from the Social Security Administration. Then phone calls were made to SSA and they claim they have sent all information to the IRS and they have nothing else to send. I’m in a group that is in the hundreds of thousands approximately 200k and 7 have said they have received stim3. Also the March 22nd date is a internet myth according to the IRS and nothing official has been announced.

So what’s the truth?

Edited to add in the discussion section of the group it’s beginning to get political and some are without merit blaming the Biden Administration go figure. Hopefully payments are sent before Fox starts the they are starving grandma and grandpa stories.

Another off duty cop shooting black man

The reason the man refused to show his receipt at Walmart for $20 grill. Family has video of the aftermath with the grill in the backseat and bloody receipt on the floor of the car.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/kfor.com/news/del-city-police-investigate-incident-in-walmart-parking-lot/amp/

Del City police believe that an off-duty Langston police officer who works at the Walmart got into an argument with the suspect while the suspect was in the vehicle.

Officers say the suspect tried to back out with one of the vehicle’s doors open. At some point, the off-duty Langston officer fired his gun. Police are trying to determine if the off-duty officer fired his weapon before or after the suspect tried to back out of the parking space.

The cop fired 11 rounds into a full Walmart parking lot!

Targeted funding for at risk demographic

The pay system is already in place to do a targeted one time payment to the most at risk. I propose a immediate payment of $500-1,000 for everyone receiving Social Security. This will allow those most at risk to immediately purchase supplies and food to stay home. This would cost 30-60 Billion and I understand that is expensive but it would provide comfort to those most at risk.

Bob and Bill are good friends

Bob and Bill’s wives are even more so.
Bob was at both of Bill’s daughters weddings.
Bob worked for Bill for years in DOJ.
Rod hired Bob.
Rod works for Bill.
All three belong to the same church.
All three belong to the same political party.

Those three may turn on anyone else but they will not turn on each other. Bill and to a degree Rod’s summery released today will stand. The 6e testimony will be redacted before Congress sees the report which is a bulk of it. It will be further sanatized of anything they can claim is classified before you see it.

The what comes next is going to be even worse. Right now three letter agencies just got new orders from an emboldened narcissist go after everyone.

Before I get to revved up over any candidate

I do want to say I don’t care who or what their main issues are. I want to remind myself don’t get hung up on a flaw or a different opinion about something. Don’t allow myself to get drug off into the weeds over something I agree 80-90% with. I want to remind myself I will not do the work for the other side in anyway shape or form. I am a member of the Democratic Party and an American. It is my job to help retake the Senate and grow the House and once and for all remove that stain in the Oval Office. I will not fail.

The Way of the Gun generation?

I went to a squadron reunion this year on base. What struck me as I spoke with the young sailors was what their world view is. Most of them were 1-3 years old when September 11th happened and have never known peace time. Think about that these (hate to say kids because it shows my age) grew up in a world that has always had the U.S. in a shooting war. All there formative years watching news stories of casualties and firefights and yes video games the most popular like Call of Duty. They are “The Way of The Gun” generation they see violence as normal. I don’t hide the fact I own many firearms but I don’t think I look at them the same way the younger ones do. Most wars in our history have been 0-5 years with generally peace afterward and an understanding how devastatingly horrific war is. I’m kinda rambling about my thoughts but I really worry what are the consequences of a war that spans so many years? Reflectively what have we done to these kids?

Remembering Anita Hill

Two things really stood out to me having watched both sets of hearings now.

One Dr. Ford wore blue immediately bringing back memories of a strong woman testifying about a SC nominee.

Two the placement of the Coke label to the camera wow what a statement that younger people might miss the significance of. See there was a whole segment covered by Mrs. Hill about Thomas joking about pubic hairs on her Coke can that was out of line.

Also as I think about it more Cosby was the spokesman for Coke at one time as well.
