Broken Promises: Deported veterans struggle to access entitled benefits
The Daily Journal has more journalists covering the California legal profession than any other publication.
"No one knows how many veterans who protected us while serving in the United States military have been deported, often to countries they haven't seen since they were babies."
On paper, they are eligible for benefits from the VA, but there are many obstacles.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.
No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me!
My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I've
stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process,
created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country,
brought Business back into the United States at levels never
seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts
and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous
Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to
do so, and created an "aura" around the United States of America
that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than
ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do
long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the
Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and
supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT
Marks - Some have even said they have never seen such Strong
Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In
addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other
President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one
being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive
Examination, something which few people would be able to do
very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I
ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and
experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few
people have been able to "ace" this Examination and, in fact,
most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have
decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work
involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend
that I am "slowing up," am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or
am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and
knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever
worked before. I will know when I am "slowing up," but it's not
now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams,
Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it's
seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times,
and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and
demean "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES." They are
true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about
it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results
and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they
wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be
if The New York Times would cease publication because they are
a horrible, biased, and untruthful "source" of information. Thank
you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN!

Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
