Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, May 16, 2026

Veterans Affairs (VA) under the Dummkopf Trumpf junta is, unsurprisingly, a disaster and a catastrophe:

  • Software Contractor Brett Blackman was convicted of a $1bn conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud.
  • Security personnel aren't detecting knives or alcohol being smuggled into VA facilities.
  • The Los Angeles VA homeless shelter is plagued with pestilence and security problems and has been dubbed a "Skid Row." A veteran's dog had to be revived with Narcan after being exposed to drugs.
  • Amongst other issues, the VA computer system used to review death certificates and medical information incorrectly approved $2.7m in payments to families.

    the VA computer system used to review death certificates and medical information incorrectly approved $2.7m in payments to families.

    IMO that is a remarkedly low number and probably 1/10th of what should have been paid out but wasn't due to missing/unfiled forms, veterans unaware of eligibility and other factors.
