First he hid behind the NYFD and NYPD, and now he's hiding behind vets. It is disgusting.
Paul Rieckhoff should ask all donors their political affiliation before accepting their funds.
Does that infer you are off your meds?
There should be NO need for groups like WWF.
Both R and D in the govt lie and neglect them.
That is a reason for trump.
He can’t be any worse.
Cui bono?
It’s as if there is a shortage of veteran’s charities who would be thrilled to take the money.
Balderdash. Pink State grasping at straws once again.
“Donât take any Rx”
And therein lies the answer.
I understand there may be some excellent medications for delusions and depression.
Also meditation and sleep may also be of assistance.
I’ve never heard ‘a whore house piano’ played on Sat night or any other night.
What have you found lacking?
So, send 'em a check. You'll never want for return address labels...
DAV, VFW, American Legion, DVNF, USO, USMC Toys for Tots, and others.
Or note pads.
"While disabled veterans should be given every opportunity to earn a living, is it fair to do so to the detriment of the city as a whole or its tax paying citizens and businesses?" Trump wrote in a 1991 letter to John Dearie, then-chairman of the state Assembly's Committee on Cities.
"Do we allow Fifth Ave., one of the world's finest and most luxurious shopping districts, to be turned into an outdoor flea market, clogging and seriously downgrading the area?" Trump demanded.
New York's original peddling exceptions for veterans date back to 1894 - created to give those disabled during the Civil War a chance to support themselves. .....Source
If these groups don't want the money, it's clear that they don't want the scrutiny that will come with it. This could end up being millions of dollars to help Veterans that are really in need. These charities are not truly serving Veterans as their first priority if they don't want the money.
So, great. I'd rather someone from Trump's organization find ways to get all of the money that comes out of this directly to Veterans who need it.
How much money has Ted Cruz (or any other candidate) raised for Veteran’s groups? They’re all to busy raising money from special interest groups.
I don't either. By not taking drugs, I also don't take legal drugs, not even vaccinations, of any kind. Eat pure foods. Been on this for over six years now. Only exception....occasional Advil to loosen muscles.
What I've found is that my natural immune system seems to function well. I am more cautious than I used to be about being in "germ factories".
I will consider this the next time a veteran's group asks for money. Apparently they have too much money. Good for them!
FR etiquette is that whenever you mention someone in a post, you should also send it to that person. Why don’t you ping this to CW yourself?

More lies and half-truths don't help the Cruzers. That statement is an extremely blatant lie that is easily defeated.
The truth shall set you free but it seems that blind allegiance to Canada makes people crazy! Here is something from over TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!
Mr. Trump has long been a devoted supporter of veteran causes. In 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, only 100 spectators watched New York City's Veteran Day Parade. It was an insult to all veterans. Approached by Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the chief of New York City's FBI office, Mr. Trump agreed to lead as Grand Marshall a second parade later that year. Mr. Trump made a $1 million matching donation to finance the Nation's Day Parade. On Saturday, November 11th, over 1.4 million watched as Mr. Trump marched down Fifth Avenue with more than 25,000 veterans, some dressed in their vintage uniforms. A month later, Mr. Trump was honored in the Pentagon during a lunch with the Secretary of Defense and the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff.
If these groups don't want the money, it's clear that they don't want the scrutiny that will come with it. This could end up being millions of dollars to help Veterans that are really in need. These charities are not truly serving Veterans as their first priority if they don't want the money.
