John Windom, 64, a retired Navy officer, Washington
Another Lenka Stankova hurting the war fighters. John Windom, 64, a retired Navy officer, was charged with making false statements, concealment of material facts and falsification of a record or document tied to a failure to report more than $15,000 in cash, casino chips and other gifts from contractors. The Justice Department announced the charges on Wednesday, accusing him of “accepting, and sometimes demanding, extravagant gifts from a group of contractors and subcontractors who worked on the project he was overseeing.” As the indictment notes, Windom was aware of the rules regarding reporting gifts and receipts, per training for officials. “An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” the Justice Department said in its release.

In 2018, the 10-year contract was awarded to Cerner (now known as Oracle Health after Oracle acquired it). Windom was appointed as Executive Director of the Office of Electronic Record Modernization in 2017 and helped supervise the VA’s choice of Cerner for the contract. According to the grand jury indictment against him, Windom used his position to take money and gifts from a group of business executives from information technology and consulting companies who were contractors on the project. According to the indictment, Windom allegedly called them “the Power Group.” Windom used his role to “encourage, monitor, and facilitate contract and subcontracting opportunities for members of the Power Group, related and unrelated to the EHRM project.” Windom was allegedly given payment in everything from cash, to $8,200 in Louis Vuitton gift cards and $1,800 in casino chips. He was also given a High Efficiency Particulate Air, or HEPA, filter worth $631. The indictment also accuses Windom of using his position to “coerce” payments and gifts from others. Per the indictment, Windom “repeatedly reminded Power Group members to remain loyal and directed them to maintain confidentiality and their relationship with him.” In one message at the start of 2020, Windom messaged Power Group members, telling them that “loose lips sink ships.” Windom’s initial contract was extended, and in 2022 he was reassigned to serve as deputy director of the Federal electronic Health Modernization Office, a joint VA and Department of Defense project. Nine years after the modernization effort started, the Electronic Health Record program is used by only a handful of VA sites, with the program hit by glitches and usability issues. The VA paused the program in 2023, but is expected to roll out at several sites this year. Windom faces a maximum sentence of over 20 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Mr. Pruitt is well rounded respectable responsible individual. He makes sure his students are always taking care of and learning the proper knowledge to better further their education. Mr. Pruitt has special handshakes with each student as they are greeting him every morning for school. Furthermore he lets no student go without in any aspect of the day. Will even feed the students with a special pizza party for good behavior through out the months. I really think Mr. Pruitt deserves this award to just show him appreciation for being a 8 year teacher at one school. He's on his way to having a great future.

Dr Skowran - Sutter Gould, 600 coffee rd
My mom went to him, then myself for 4 yrs. Seems like he needs to retire. There is no concern there any more. Office does their best to sched video calls instead of you going in. I've had him throw up his hands and say "what do you want from me?" Very discouraging and frustrating.But he's never forgot to remind me of a covid vaccine.

Trust but verify. Doctors lie they have agendas take money sometimes alot from drug companies. Doctors hock there crap on the internet. You want a doctor who hears what you are saying and is involved not worrying about weather they look good on camera for a you tube video or how much there sales are from books they sell in the internet. Change doctors one that cares about you.

Lunch, Prairie wind middle school, Perham, MN
To the red faced blind lady that yells at kids because they stood up at lunch. You walked to our table and threatened us with a lunch detention for standing up. You made it sound like we weren’t getting an education. You even went in the middle of the cafeteria and yelled at everyone to sit down. I have video proof of this if you want it.

Molly Cain, DHS Capital Factory GovCity, Washington DC, DC
Molly Cain, new IRS employee, has really done it now. The video of her being fired from Tech Wildcatters is now on youtube and being sent to the cool people. Watch Molly cry, beg, and fingerpoint. Watch Molly accuse Gabriella and Clarisa of sabotaging her career and calling them the b word. Watch Molly claim hostile workplace and blame black entrepreneurs for setting her up in a discrimination claim. Watch her tears wash off her makeup ending up with the crazy clown face. Watch Molly ask why do I keep getting fired from jobs? Watch Molly threaten to sue then cry. Now we are editing the video of her vandalizing the office. And then there is the videos of her crying, screaming and cursing at her coworkers. Maybe we will have time to upload the video of Molly drunk in the office. Totally wasted. Classy Molly Cain, you are finally a social media star. Good luck shutting down the youtube account. try your best!!!
