flashback to 2/8/21:

The Senate on Monday voted 87-7 to confirm Denis McDonough as the secretary of the Department of Veteran Affairs.

McDonough, who has not served in the armed forces, was chief of staff for former President Barack Obama. Before taking on that role in Feb. 2013, he served the Obama administration as deputy national security adviser and chief of staff of the national security staff. LINK

Illegals go ahead of Veterans in line for healthcare?
I can not believe what is going on in United States.

They are not illegal aliens. They are democrat voters.

Illegal use of funds. Charge his ass and ALL those assisting him. Veterans wait hours and months waiting to be turned down.

Been known for 2 or 3 years. Biden was and is a POS like all liberals.

Collins is a good guy. Expect things to improve.

Crumbling from within. Too many snakes slithering about. It’s dumbfounding how so many can be so traitorous.

“”Collins is a good guy. Expect things to improve.””

There will be priorities for Doug Collins, a super guy - new VA Administrator. I would put as SECOND priority, the Area 51 Air Force Veterans who are not recognized by DOD for their service there hence receive no medical care. It’s been brought to the attention of the public through News Nation and needs WIDE PUBLICITY...There have been over 400 deaths of veterans who served there from cancer..They deserved better, the living veterans deserve better, their families deserve better. The show has been repeated several times and I would hope that the veterans have contacted the VA by now. Get the ball rolling before it’s too late for the remaining veterans.

I agree. People like this should never see the light of day. Everything they did was deliberate defiance of what they were charged with doing.

Me, too. 😡

One figure on homeless:
“Veterans are slightly more likely to be homeless than non-veterans, making up about 12.3% of the homeless population in the United States.”
National Alliance to End Homelessness (Said this is an improved figure from past years.)


So lots of illegal aliens have found hotels or houses paid for by taxpayers and were given pre-paid Master Cards while veterans struggle?

Well it’s true, my VA facility is great. It has given me the utmost health care imaginable. From prostate surgery to remove cancer to open heart surgery to replace valve and do a bypass. Monthly video conference with my nurse monitoring BP and general issues. All meds with only $5 copay, yeah they are doing great.

The only VA hospital in all of south central Ohio (Chillicothe) was slated to be closed. I always thought this was to turn it into a immigration center. Sounds like that actually may have been the goal. I’ll have to go back and check my dates when that happened. I always thought it was Biden, but this guy may be the actual rat. He needs to be interrogated...

Yes, it was this POS right here. It wasn’t the only one to be closed. https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2022/03/14/dozens-of-va-medical-centers-slated-for-closure-total-rebuilds-under-new-infrastructure-plan/

Were some democrats REALLY grateful for the folks who brought them 7 year old boys and girls to rape? Up scale hotel stays, free medical, VA benefits, loans, money for houses, cash payments...
