Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

This is why they are always looking for people committing voter fraud because they are the ones doing it. Oh yeah now we get the whole picture
Back in November, DHS found one—a “criminal alien” who voted despite not being a US citizen. As it turns out, he was a green card holder who voted for Donald Trump—three times. Indeed, every documentable vote fraud case so far involves a fraudster voting for Trump.
