Brian Kolfage, an airman who survived losing both legs and an arm in Iraq, started a fundraiser to build a wall on our Southern border. The project took off, a lot of money flowed in, and the federal government promptly went after Kolfage, accusing him of defrauding those who donated money. This post is not about Kolfage’s guilt or innocence on the charges against him. It is, instead, about allegations that the government is effectively torturing him by denying him access to a medicine that controls the nerve pain resulting from his leg amputations.
We know that the government has been exceptionally vicious in its prosecution against Kolfage. It started when based federal agents operating out of the Southern District of New York arrested this family man, who lives in a Florida home with his wife and two young children.
On August 20, 2020, the United States Postal Inspection Service sent 15 people to arrest Kolfage. Think about that for a moment: This is a triple amputee in a wheelchair, and they sent 15 armed officers to take him down. They then dragged Kolfage into a car that was not ADA compliant, leaving behind his wheelchair and his prosthetic limbs.
Donald Trump subsequently pardoned Steve Bannon, who was arrested on the same charges, but Kolfage is still in the government’s crosshairs. In addition, in May 2021, a federal grand jury in Pensacola issued a separate indictment against him, charging him with fraud and filing false tax returns.
Now, Kolfage has announced that the federal government is refusing to give him a medicine that handles the nerve pain he experiences in his amputated legs. (Phantom limb pains are common in amputees and, I have heard, they are excruciating.) The Gateway Pundit quotes Kolfage:

I wouldn’t put it past them.
A friend on a Harley was hit by a drunk/drugged driver several years ago and her leg was ripped off.
She survived but she says the phantom pain is pure agony.
Steve Bannon should give him some money. He’s a millionaire.
I am sorry for your friend. Hopefully, she has a pain management regime.
At this strange, sad point in our history, it would not surprise me at all.
With communists at the controls, anything is possible.
She is a very positive person, still.
She is grateful to have survived it, at all.
Most of what she shares is the joy she finds in her daughters and grandchildren.
Once in a while, in the dark of the night, one of the pain posts will pop up.
As luck [and God] would have it, a local radio DJ and his paramedic wife were driving by right as it happened.
Mickey held her and talked to her to keep her conscious as his wife stopped the hemorrhaging from the femoral artery, since the ambulance would not have gotten there in time.
It was her entire leg and part of her pelvic bone, just torn off.
The driver basically got a slap on the wrist.
I don’t have a lot of “personal heroes” but she is one of them.
The totally corrupt Leftist controlled governments wrath is directed exclusively towards conservatives and patriots.
Luck had nothing to do with it. God put them there.
‘Pod
We all believe so.
It’s not an area they would have normally been in but were.
