We all assumed that Veterans Affairs under Trump would improve, and in some respects, it has. They are handling more claims, and in September, they made some noise about approving third-party care for 12 months (for thirty types of care) instead of 6 or 3, but something changed.

Patriots, the storm has broken. For nine years, the Deep State cabal led by Barack Obama have slithered in the shadows, peddling their Russia hoax like a venomous serpent to poison the well of American democracy.
