    Independent Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieckhoff claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” that Ukrainians are “more American” than the American people. Rieckhoff said, “Donald Trump has completely betrayed Ukraine. He has stabbed them in the back and every week he needs to twist it and drive it deeper with a new move that cuts more of their legs out from under them.” Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “What do you say to the person who says, I don’t care about Ukraine, I want Donald Trump to stand up for Russia?”

    There is an advertising campaign on right now for an organization called IAVA. Its website is given as CommunityOfVeterans.org. It sounds very high minded. But it was started as an organization called “Operation Truth” during 2004 as part of the Kerry campaign. This organization is funded by George Soros and is designed to make veterans think they are victimized by the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and persuade them to support liberal candidates for office and anti-war measures. They claim to be non-partisan, but if they are, why were all the candidates they supported for election to federal office in 2006...

    Barack Obama outscored his Republican rival, Vietnam veteran John McCain, in a report card issued by an influential, nonpartisan veterans’ group.

    Sen. John McCain gets a D when it comes to veterans issues, according to a new congressional report card released Tuesday by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Sen.

The New York-based national veterans advocacy group graded every member of Congress on how he or she voted on major issues affecting 1.7 million vets from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
