The VA saved this veteran's life.
Burn pits. Chronic pain. PTSD.
Trump signed the PACT Act.
Then, gutted the system that delivers it.
You cannot do both.

ALT A poster featuring a quote about the vital role of the VA (Veterans Affairs) in providing care, support, and medication, helping with lingering pain, breathing issues, and PTSD. The poster includes the seal of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and a label saying "Not for Sale." It attributes the quote to a Common Defense member from Pennsylvania.

Liberals are saying Trump’s Iranian Peace Deal is a thousand times worse than Obama’s deal.
Do the math. The 300 billion Trump is giving them is only 175 times more than the 1.7 billion Obama gave them. Adjusted for inflation, that makes this deal only 100 times worse.
Liberals love to exaggerate.

Unless your name was Alex Pretti.
The Second Amendment is your right. It is not up for negotiation. Republicans will always defend it.
Community note
This post claims strong 2A support, yet H.R. 645 (National Constitutional Carry Act) has been stalled in the House Judiciary Committee since Jan 23, 2025 (no hearings or floor vote). The GOP-led Congress has funded the ATF near prior levels despite proposed deeper cuts.

#BREAKING: Deposing Attorney: Do you regret that people lost income to support their lives?
DOGE Bro: “No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero.”
Deposing Attorney: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
DOGE Bro: “No, we didn’t.”
Deposing Attorney: So you weren’t able to reduce the federal deficit and you still don’t regret that people lost some of their livelihood based on your actions?
DOGE Bro: “No.” 🤦♀️

The Take Care of America's Veterans Act will strip earned benefits from future claimants to generate an estimated $15–20 billion in cuts. Congress must commit to opposing any bill that cuts earned VA disability benefits.

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.
This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.
If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

Michael Whatley is running one of the worst campaigns in the country. He is just a complete afterthought. He is going to get completely blown out by Roy Cooper and everyone knows it.

Roy Cooper let THOUSANDS of hardened criminals out of prison.
Many of those criminals went on to commit MORE CRIMES after they were released.
Cooper's record is COMPLETELY unacceptable.
