The Veterans Affairs scandals that disgraced the Obama administration never went away. Instead the VA has stonewalled groups like Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) who have been seeking information about wait times for veterans. It’s not that the VA doesn’t have the money to treat vets, but that the money continues to be wasted on radical woke agendas.
After a prolonged battle, Concerned Veterans for America uncovered documents showing that the VA has manipulated wait time numbers to misleadingly portray appointments a month and a half away as having a zero wait time. This is a continuation of the waiting lists scandal under the Obama administration a decade ago that we were told had been successfully resolved.
The Trump administration and a Republican Congress passed the VA Mission Act to allow veterans more access to health care outside the system, but the VA obstructed veterans from getting ‘community care’. Veterans who couldn’t get timely health care were warned against going outside the system and subjected to extra layers of obstruction by the VA bureaucracy.
The VA violated the VA Mission Act and its action likely led to illness and possibly deaths.
A USA Today investigation revealed that “VA administrators are overruling doctors’ judgments and preventing them from sending their patients outside the VA health care system.”
The VA’s goal is to keep veterans from leaving the system to save money.
While the VA can’t seem to care for veterans, it is busy offering transgender procedures that include hormones, pre-op evaluation, and post-op care. The VA handles everything from using the right pronouns to storing sperm and eggs, and even hair removal and fake breasts.
Veterans with cancer are not being treated in a timely manner, but those whose mental problems lead them to think that they’re really women are getting fast tracked to castration.
Chris Beck, a former Navy SEAL who was turned into the poster boy for transgenderism, described being fast-tracked after an hour-long meeting at the VA.
Even while the VA was fighting efforts to track accurate wait times, VA Secretary Denis McDonough announced that he planned to offer castration and other gender mutilation surgeries. McDonough is not a doctor and had not served in the military, he was an Obama aide, part of the administration that was responsible for the original VA wait time scandal.
As a reward, Biden appointed him to head the VA. “Be they veterans of color or LGBTQ+ veterans, our job is to get them all the service and the care that they’ve earned,” McDonough explained his priorities. What about veterans who aren’t members of a minority group? They don’t matter.
McDonough estimated that transgender surgeries might cost as much as $71 million. And he was eager to move forward even at a time when the VA was back to playing musical chairs with medical appointments and putting veterans through hell to save a few thousand here and there.
Within the active duty military health care system known as ‘Tricare’, personnel are being hit with 10% fee increases even as Tricare now covers hormones and offers waivers for “medically necessary gender affirming surgery”. There have been over 250 transgender surgical procedures which have cost millions of dollars and deprived genuinely sick people of care.
It’s not just active duty military personnel at risk of dangerous, unproven and permanently damaging procedures and medications, but also their family members.
In the final year of the Obama administration, the doors were thrown open to “gender affirming care” for vulnerable children and teens from military families resulting in a quadrupling of the numbers of patients: many of them teenage girls who are at the worst risk of being mutilated.
There were 500 children as young as 10 years old who were potentially subjected to indoctrination leading them to dangerous hormones and procedures that could destroy their lives.
Rather than fighting our enemies and healing our troops, the military health care system for both active duty personnel and veterans had been warped into serving woke sexual identity politics.
The Department of Defense even dedicated $1.1 million to studying prostate cancer in transgender ‘women’.
The DOD’s promotion of transgender indoctrination is particularly destructive during a time when active duty personnel and veterans are suffering record rates of suicide and mental illness. Pushing them toward an identity and its associated procedures that have been shown to increase, rather than decrease, symptoms of mental illness and suicide rates is unforgivable.
The Biden administration has made identity politics into its north star and disloyal military brass have put that agenda ahead of warfighting capabilities, military readiness and the welfare of the troops. While there’s no money to provide cancer treatments for veterans at the VA, there’s plenty of money for hormones, fake breasts and transgender counseling sessions.
Veterans may have to wait months for an appointment to treat urgent medical problems, but appointments for transgender counseling are fast tracked as medically necessary. Active duty personnel are being hit with more Tricare fee hikes at a time when military salaries are not keeping up with the inflationary cost of living, but someone has to pay for the hormones.
Biden and his disloyal military brass have betrayed the country at every opportunity. They have lost wars, empowered enemies and undermined America. They have taken the military hostage to promote abortion and they are killing active duty personnel and veterans through their obsession with transgender identity politics.
Our veterans and active duty military personnel deserve the best. Instead they and their families are being treated like guinea pigs for a social experiment being performed on the country.

The mediamorons used the Victoria Cross because they couldn’t

The word “Accuracy” is not in their vocabulary which is even smaller than
their knowledge of history.

Is that the proper ribbon? It looks like they used it because the ribbon is in the colors of the trans flag.

Mrs. Ramsay says
Great article. My husband retired after 30 years from the USMC and after a short time of refusal to apply for disability benefits (because in his mind he is not disabled) finally applied. They made him feel like a complete loser, and he stopped the process in anger. He finally agreed to start the process again, but unfortunately Biden was president. After DOZENS of doctors appointments to document his combat injuries, he submitted his packet. That was 18 months ago. Since then, he had to RE-VISIT a half dozen doctors for “clarification” plus to to NEW appointments set up through the VA, including driving from Atlanta to Alabama for an eye exam! The process is designed to cause vets to commit suicide, I’m convinced. I’m a Gold Star daughter of Vietnam, and we got nothing from America, but I’m still a patriot, and I’ll still be a patriot long after Joe Biden and his fake doctor wife are in their graves. Trump, 2024. He’s the only individual who has the guts to go against this evil.
Algorithmic Analyst says
They have absurd numerical double standards. They make a huge deal out of a small amount when conservatives want to spend, then dismiss huge amounts as trivial when Democrats want to spend it.
THX 1138 says
Neither conservatives or Democrats have the moral right to redistribute the wealth of others. By what moral right did G.W. Bush fund his faith-based initiatives with the earnings of others? By the alleged moral right of Christian altruism? Need makes right? You are your brother’s keeper?
There is no hope for America, for freedom, liberty, individualism, capitalism until the code of altruism and self-sacrifice, the moral code of Jesus Christ, is rejected and Ayn Rand’s moral code of rational selfishness is discovered, understood, and championed.
“Yet capitalism is what the “conservatives” dare not advocate or defend. They are paralyzed by the profound conflict between capitalism and the moral code which dominates our culture: the morality of altruism . . . Capitalism and altruism are incompatible; they are philosophical opposites; they cannot co-exist in the same man or in the same society.” – Ayn Rand, “Conservatism: An Obituary”
Intrepid says
So Ayn Rand cannot predict the future after all, any more than you can.
If conservatism was dead we wouldn’t have gotten Reagan, Bush and Trump.
Trump ’24 MAGA
THX 1138 says
No one can predict the future with 100% certainty because men have free will, they can always make different choices.
But a historian-philosopher can forecast the most likely outcome at a given moment in the history of a country or a region. For example, by the early 20th century it was almost inevitable that Russia and Germany would collapse into two socialist dictatorships.
Bush and Trump in the same category of conservatism? I don’t think so.
It is highly unlikely Trump will win in 2024 because the USA is now a de facto Uniparty dictatorship. George Bush will be quite happy about that.
Get ready for another lockdown and President Trump in prison. George Bush will be quite happy about that. No, actually Bush is so STUPID he will yell out, “I can’t believe I was actually helping America become a dictatorship! I didn’t mean to do that! I didn’t mean to do that! I swear I didn’t mean to!”
Daniel Greenfield says
“a historian-philosopher can forecast the most likely outcome at a given moment”
That’s how Marxism got started.
The history of predictions has far more misses than hits. No real evidence that a h”istorian-philosopher” is any better at it than Joe at the barber shop.
Intrepid says
A historian-philosopher like you?
You can’t even get actual history correct, let alone the future, with all of those child-like the-sky-is-falling warnings about the new Christian Theocracy.

SPURWING PLOVER says
Under the Democrats our Vets are not as important as catering to the cause of the freaks and queers who vote for Democrat’s the Party of Globalists/Traitors
Mo de Profit says
Transgender surgery should be defined as removing the genital system completely because that’s what it is.
Hormone treatments benefit the pharmaceutical industry and if these people claim to be the wrong gender then they must already have the same biological condition otherwise they would not know.
How many of the freaks who parade themselves around naked in front of children have had their dicks removed?
Hardball1Alpha says
Is it possible that enemies of America have also infiltrated this VAST bureaucracy knowing that Vets are considered a first line backup in time of war?
It sure seems like it after being in the VA system since 1998.
Attacking the millions of Veterans through cascades of paperwork, endless delays in care and unionized indifference… possibly being a major factor in spiking the Veteran suicide rates as well as terminal diseases, a tactic that would fall right in line with China’s “unrestricted warfare” doctrine and of course, always below the radar.
Most Vets in the VA system are forced to hire attorneys just to push the paperwork through the VA firewalls or risk becoming homeless as they find their pain relief on the streets..
You can see how effective these tactics of bureaucratic warfare have worked in decimating our public school systems as well as local, state and federal gov’t destroying the civilian realm…. without ever having to fire a shot.
Ugly Sid says
“Stall till they die”
Semaphore says
There is an undeniable logic here. Especially when we consider how much money the Bidens have taken from Chinese businesses. Pretty shrewd actually..
Daniel Greenfield says
Government systems, once created, come to exist for their own purposes rather than those they were putatively created for.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, one thing that occurred to me yesterday was that if they are successful at achieving their initial purpose, they lose their reason for existing, so they look around for new causes to get involved in, and often muck things up or make them worse.
Joe Esposito says
I served in the USAF from 1969-1973.
I have discouraged my children and all my family and friends
children not to serve their country in the military.
The majority of the people of this country are all ingrates and
aren’t worth defending.
The lack of healthcare for veterans falls on Congress and the American people if
they cared about veterans would have forced congress to support veterans health
programs.
It took over 40 years for the worthless VA to recognize Agent orange cancer deaths
and health issues of Vietnam Vets.
To Hell with the military defend yourselves you filthy Leftist.
Mickorn says
It’s not the filthy Leftists. It’s not the woke agendas. It’s not the (relatively) very little money spent of LGBTQ service members and veterans (I’m sure they appreciate everyone’s bile and ignorance). It’s “Congress and the American People.”
Congress and the American people. Take some ownership, Daniel Greenfield, you coward hiding behind your keyboard. Don’t blame everything on the poor trans kids who’ve never done anything to you. Swallow your hatred. Take ownership.
Intrepid says
When will you take ownership of the fascist Left.
Ugly Sid says
Please don’t feed the pigeons.
Daniel Greenfield says
Poor trans kids?
Like Audrey E. Hale or William Whitworth?
Take some responsibility when after pumping kids full of chemicals, they shoot somebody and your side cheers that as empowerment.
Algorithmic Analyst says
That’s an excellent point, for example, what happens to a woman transitioning to a man, deprived of normal female hormones, and pumped full of testosterone? I can easily imagine they become delusional and go nuts.
Jim Campbell says
Settle down, there are a number of things more problematic than the tranny issue. These could be quickly solved by immediately removing the top brass the makes the rules. Once that happens, enlistments will rise, those in will re up. We need the U.S. Military, not just leftist failed leaders.
World@70 says
Removing the top brass isn’t a simple thing. Too many layers of powerful bureaucrats interests are involved. Getting rid of all of them would be ideal, but again, not simple. Here in the US we don’t get rid of someone the way Putin just did with Prigozhin (if in fact he was on that plane).
Eva says
Maybe you should start doing that.
It obviously works.
Linda says
The Bidens aren’t the only Dems whose grown children are being paid by their CCP benefactors either. Look it up.
sgt_doom says
AFFIRMATIVE!!!
Take this head of the Air Force Academy, Col Jackhole Jonsson, who outlawed use of gender and “mom” and “dad” (and “mother” and “father,” etc) and gave a simpleton public tirade based upon an “incident” (later revealed as a perpetrated hoax by several Black college students —- have forgotten the college as there have been so many of those hoaxes) on “institutionalized racism” based upon that hoax which the simpleton Jonsson ASSUMED to be true!
And far too many other Admiral Jackholes and General Jackholes who need to be court–martialed ASAP!
NAVY ET1 says
I’m fortunate enough to live many HOURS away from my closest VA hospital (so I’ve never used their “services”), but the horror stories from fellow vets persist. It’s simply unconscionable that those who’ve sacrificed the most, who’ve already had to deal with extreme time delays for treatment, would be placed even further back in the cue so freaks with mental health issues can have them further exacerbated by this demonic administration to celebrate the latest cause celebre.
Hey General Milley…if you’re puzzled by the low recruitment numbers, look no further. Seems our importance to you has been clearly delineated. Back at cha, pal.
THX 1138 says
If sacrifice is a virtue, then it stands to reason that the more you sacrifice the more noble and virtuous you are. You should sacrifice all of your life and everything you’ve got as soon as possible and just die for others and get it over with. Death is the ultimate goal of the code of self-sacrifice.
Any veteran who is expecting something in return for his sacrifice is not being self-sacrificing enough, he is being selfishly self-interested. And selfish self-interest we are all told is immoral. Let the veteran sacrifice himself completely for others and achieve complete virtue in death. That’s what total self-sacrifice requires, sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice, death for the sake of death.
Ugly Sid says
Well, at least you haven’t bonded with Charlie Manson.
THX 1138 says
The followers of Charlie, like the followers of Mohammed and Adolf, were definitely self-sacrificing altruists.
Having a self and selfish goals are such a heavy responsibility, why bother? Better to surrender your freedom and liberty to someone else, follow their orders, submit yourself to whatever someone else commands you to do.
Being a selfless zombie, or a selfless Shmoo, or a selfless Muslim, or a selfless Nazi, is so much easier than having to practice the selfish responsibility of achieving you own personal, individual happiness. Easier and disastrous.
Intrepid says
Don’t worry. We certainly don’t expect you to do the right thing and care about anyone or anything but yourself………
Intrepid says
*I don’t recognize any such absurdity as service to my country. I recognize a moral responsibility to my freedom and liberty and the freedom and liberty of those I love.* — THX
Service to my country? No we wouldn’t expect that from a lowlife like you.
I’ll say this real slowly so even a selfish little NYC brat like you can understand it.
“Any veteran who is expecting something in return for his sacrifice is not being self-sacrificing enough, he is being selfishly self-interested.” THX
Military members volunteer for service and some get severely physically and mentally wounded. Are you really saying the Government should not be involved in their care? Are you that self-centered? These people sacrifice their bodies and minds so that jerks like you remain free to insult them on comment boards
THX 1138 says
If you’re going to be a self-sacrificing altruist then you should be consistent and go all the way. The veterans should sacrifice their government health benefits to Ukrainian pensioners.
Why? Precisely because that would be an altruist sacrifice on the part of the veterans.
Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice! It’s the highest virtue and duty of mankind!
“To be a socialist,” says Goebbels, “is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole.”
By this definition, the Nazis practiced what they preached. They practiced it at home and then abroad. No one can claim that they did not sacrifice enough individuals.” – Leonard Peikoff, “The Ominous Parallels”
Intrepid says
“The veterans should sacrifice their government health benefits to Ukrainian pensioners.”
I dare you to say that directly to a veteran whose only source of medical care is the VA, warts and all. The sound beating you would get from head to toe would be absolutely make my day. But just like your whining about the money that religious services get from the government, you won’t confront a vet either. You are the classic leftist coward. As in all things it’s easy to be a tough guy keyboard warrior in your NYC apartment where there are no sacrifices forced on you.
Thank God Trump came up wit the VA Passport program so vets can get health care at a facility of their own choosing at Government expense.
But that would be too much for you. You really are that self-centered. These people sacrifice their bodies and minds so that jerks like you remain free to insult them on comment boards.
NAVY ET1 says
I challenge you…no…strike that. I DARE you, tough guy, to spend an hour in VA hospital reception area and spout this nonsense. The one-armed vets will knock your ass out.
I’m fortunate enough to be able to spend time with these vets at my local VFW. I get to see their faces, see their scars internally and externally; missing limbs, missing wives, missing families. You can’t even comprehend their sacrifice and certainly aren’t worthy of it.
As your corporeal clock begins to run down, and timeless eternity comes more into focus, I’m literally praying right now that your death is a long, protracted one…and not for the reasons you might think. I’m hoping that you’re given time. Time to reflect on how little your human intellect has mattered to you or anyone else.
Trench warfare Christianity, while not ideal, still counts. One of the thieves on the cross next to Jesus asked him to “remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” (Luke 23:42). That simple statement of limited faith was enough. Jesus responded with, “Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43)
I hope you’re given lots of time to reflect, because I’ve rarely heard someone who’s needed time more. I’ve held the hand of a vet as he was dying, saying he could “feel the flames of Hell lapping at their feet” as he was passing. It’s a personal choice ultimately.
I hope to see you in Heaven someday, but the Spirit tells me that I probably won’t. If that is ultimately true, you’ll remember this conversation for an eternity. I wouldn’t wish that concept on my worst enemy, not even you.
NAVY ET1 says
I’ve heard it said that one should “never engage the crazy”, but you’ve got issues bro. What a sad, meaningless existence it must be for you. It doesn’t have to be that way, you know. Christ died for you specifically THX. You give yourself away with your “selfishness” rant, for the idea of sacrifice is as foreign to you as speaking German is to me…which we would all be speaking if WWII GI’s all decided to take your tact.
John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Not to worry, though. I won’t engage you again. I’ve developed an allergic reaction to to the selfish speeches of cowards.
Mike Farber says
THX represents the height of Lefturd thinking. No doubt it is a gender studies major working as an intern for Rep. Waters or as a clerk for some Soros DA.
Sacrifice for these degenerates is not being able to freely shoplift women’s clothing so they can be properly attired when drag queen hour occurs at the nearest grooming location. Sacrifice means never having to say you’re sorry for your NAMBLA membership.
World@70 says
This VA problem cuts close to me. My brother-in law was a combat medic for 3 tours in Vietnam. After returning home and discharged he was diagnosed with cancer, most likely caused by exposure to Agent Orange. He fought the VA for several years trying to get assistance. They continually put off Dr. visits for months and even when he was seen there was little treatment. This went on for some years until, by chance, he was visiting the Vietnam Memorial in DC and ran into a friend from Nam. His friend happened to be working for the VA in Washington and said he might be able to help. Within a month he had an appointment, treatment started and after 3 years he was cancer free. He was convinced, as was I, that that chance encounter was the only reason for his recovery.
But there are so many who don’t have an old war buddy in the VA to help them. Where does all the money go? Why do we have to have NGO’s to get at least some assistance for our veterans?
Hardball1Alpha says
Where does all the money go? The AVERAGE VA employee makes double what a 100% service-connected Vet is awarded.
GIANT union contracts for marble-tiled floors, the finest furniture, and 2,000 dollar ergonomic chairs for corpulent nail-polishers to sit in as they put you on “hold” or the phone loop.
And most jobs you can’t get fired from.
Daniel Greenfield says
bureaucrats always get treated better than soldiers
Eva says
Unfortunately, that proves the point that it really is a case of ‘who you know’.
I’m happy to hear your brother-in-law got the treatment he deserved and made a full recovery.
I wish all vets who need help could access it swiftly and easily.
Kasandra says
How disgusting. Does the VA pay for other cosmetic surgery? That’s all this delusion affirming care is, after all.
mj says
Another depressing but illuminating expose of the calculated, treasonous, insidious plan to destroy America from within. The evil politicians controlling the money (so much money!) don’t care about any American individual, trans or otherwise. Talk of rights is a Machiavellian sham. Their condescension and destain for every single American is obvious.
The deliberate cruelty is astounding; and there’s a sadistic pleasure and profound Godless disrespect in such indifference to human suffering. Remind you of anything?
The administration’s blatant hatred towards veterans is clear: Veterans are the epitome of honor and courage for a strong America. And they represent the very history that Washington wants to obliterate and replace, for starters, with a new, personal army of 87,000 IRS agents. Who are these new soldiers going to be? Remind you of anything?

Every hear of patients awakening during a surgery, as the anesthesia proved insufficient?
It’s happened to me twice. The second time was a piece of cake. The first time wasn’t.
On 30 March 1995 I was admitted for surgery for a detaching retina.
Imagine waking up with your eye pulled out. Oddly it didn’t hurt.
I could see twenty people in surgical gowns and masks observing the procedure.
I could hear a voice. “Note how the suture passes through this ligature, [ the room tilts 90° ], ” and exits through this ligature.” As he’s holding my eyeball with one hand, and pushing a threaded needle through it
It didn’t hirt till I was in recovery. Then Hell opened. Details omitted.
That was 31 March 1995, VAMC Miami. The next day, April Fools Day, I was blind. And the next, and next, and next. The operating surgeon declined consultation. His assistant said the problem was my attitude. A few weeks later a VA social worker advised suicide.
Some weeks later as I awoke, I could see orange, no image, just color, accompanied by eye pain. I yelled out, “Is it morning?”
“What do you care?”, replied a voice.
“I see orange!”, I proclaimed.
” We knew you were faking.”, was the reply.
The coterie of abusive nurses denounced me for fakery and I was discharged, holding one of their towels to my face to block the light.
After six months in a darkened room, I regained vision: 20/600, in one eye.
But it corrected to 20/40, and I could legally drive.
I have omitted a mountain of the ugliness the VA has dealt me.
And continues to deal.

Our local DAV (actually, the US HQ) has over a million dollars of brand spanking new cars, specially painted with their colors and logo, sitting in their front parking lot. They’ve been sitting for over a year.. Doesn’t appear they are ever used or moved. Talk about squandering donor monies.
Algorithmic Analyst says
After 9-11, I remember Homeland Security had some new cars parked in a parking lot I used to walk by daily. For years and years I never saw them moved 🙂
I wonder if they would start if they were needed, or maybe they just forgot about those cars.

I worked at the VA during the administration of Bush the Elder. The VA Central Office regarded veterans as an annoyance. The first response for a disability claim was to deny it.

When I requested a copy of my medical records before the millennia, I was informed they had been destroyed in the Great Document Fire of 1974, at the National Personnel Records Center in St Louis.
In 2006, I stumbled upon nprc.gov and discovered my records were not destroyed, but were intact.
I requested a copy. I was informed the records were unavailable for copying as they were being used internally. I rerequested them for a year and a half.
In 2008 I filed a foia request. I had my medical records file and my 201 [ personnel ] file in six days.
Exactly the documentation I needed was not included therein.
Where the documents ever there? Who knows? And I’m just a powerless, voiceless cripple on the way out.
They win again.
But, in other procedures, in other venues, they’ve saved me: a half dozen surgeries for cancers, chemotherapy for leukaemia, and substitution of a sound pig aortic section for a leaky human one. Four years ago they replaced my right lense due to inoperable cataract. No focal length adjustment, but I can drive and place poker.
Many of the kindest, most devoted folks I know work at the VA specifically to help us. I love them.
Every good soldier I’ve known loved and hated the service simultaneously. It’s called loyalty.
Richard G says
It’s all about priorities.
Veterans who have given their all to defend this country? They are not important because too many of them oppose Biden’s policies and might even vote for the other side.
But transgenders? The vast majority vote democrat.
Vote-buying has replaced care for veterans.
Semaphore says
WTF is “medically necessary gender affirming surgery”??!! CANCER TREATMENT is medically necessary surgery, as are prosthetic limbs, as is PTSD rehab. Where is the honor among these people? Our vets are treated like they’re decommissioned surplus gear. Not a veteran myself, I still worked in aerospace and defense for the better part of 25 years, and I worked with and for many vets. Their horror stories of VA mistreatment made my hair stand on end. I cannot and would not recommend any youth to serve anymore. Our wars are undeclared (and unconstitutional), they go on forever without real objectives, but they do make alot of Freemasons rich. All at the expense of our (gender-affirmed) youth.

Instead of treating veterans, In Biden’s America VA hospitals are castrating and mutilating them.

if you think that the VA are only wasting money on their latest obsession , you need to read ” art from the swamp ” by bruce cole . it would leave their current money laundering system in the shade . criminals are not only in jail . they also run americas major institutions , the VA being only one of them . you also have the EPA . don’t get me started .!!

Great article, Mr. G!
This should have been obvious to many of us but the revulsion from the recruitment push for transgenders has obscured much thought as I simply hadn’t considered this!
The NIH and NSF have been funding the transgendering of children since 2005, with funding ramped up between 2015 to 2017!
Truly horrific!

Years ago I contacted you about your tunnel vision on the Muslim situation. I got riled up and insulted you because I said the gays were the bigger threat. You banned me. I respect your voice but you were wrong.
I’m hoping you have the courage to face the coming task of surviving the coming Sodom and Gomorrah hail stones and coals of fire by outing the real reason behind the Ukraine war. The gay persecution of Christian Russia and their anti gay stance. The Russian Hoax wasn’t about Trump it was to galvanize the populace. against Russia. Its been Russia this and Russia that. Now we are on a cliff and the gays have control of the button.
The rabbis say that the Torah was the blueprint for the world. That G-d had the Torah beside Him when He created it. When you first come up upon the Sodomites they are rebelling and causing and 4 on 3 war. Thus they stand for rebellion and war blueprint wise. And things are taking shape that way now.
What was the real sin of Sodom? They stop the birth process. Abraham was only promised a child when G-d was on the way to destroy Sodom. Thus the Torah rings true when you dissect the current situation. Abortion is the supreme issue of the left and their power stems from San Fran, where Pelosi, the Queen of Sodom and Gomorrah, had the gavel. And Kamala who only got 2 % in the Democratic primaries was placed in the VP spot. Abortion is a gay issue and people who can’t connect those dots they better not go blind and have to use Braille.
Anyway, time is getting late and they will push the button for they hate Russia and they have no boundaries so you’ve been enlightened and failure to act will be on your ledger on high. For our long-suffering G-d surely must be wondering who is on MY side and where are my warriors?
It’s a matter of faith now.
