  • What has Donald Trump’s Klepto-Kakistocracy Regime done to the Veterans Administration?

    Trump’s appointee to run the VA replaced the HealthyVet website, which veterans like me used to contact anyone on their VA health team that deals with our health issues, with a new website where we had to prove we were human and us, before we could switch accounts.

  • Walking in Hitler’s Shoes on the Path to World War III
