During Trump's First 100 Days, Veterans Come First

By Chase Jennings 

 

 

You can judge a nation by how it takes care of its veterans. During the Biden administration, and frankly, going back to the Obama administration, veterans have been an afterthought. President Trump worked to change that during his first term as president. He understands how important it is that we take care of the men and women who bravely served this country. Well, during his first 100 days, we’re now seeing that veterans have been a top priority for this White House. 

 

I worked in my local congressional office in Louisiana after we decided to move out of D.C. I can tell you firsthand that these veterans were not receiving the proper care and attention. Our office would get calls from veterans who were not receiving their benefits, were struggling to get an appointment or the care they needed from the VA hospital. Hearing their stories was devastating—and it was a consistent trend. The Biden administration and the VA leadership had ignored the very responsibility they had sworn to uphold. On Monday, Veterans Affairs Secretary under President Trump, Doug Collins, announced the ways the VA has changed during Trump’s first 100 days, and it’s all for the better. 

 

In an op-ed for the D.C. Journal, Secretary Collins highlights both the problem and the action that’s been taken to make changes:

 

“About 100 days ago, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was led by Biden administration officials who had lost sight of what matters most to veterans. VA was dabbling in DEI and gender ideology, abusing telework and remote work privileges to the detriment of veterans, wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on duplicative and unnecessary contracts, and slow-walking critical programs like electronic health record modernization. The results of that experiment in poor management were clear. Wait times for VA health care got worse under the Biden administration, as did the department’s disability benefits claims backlog.” 

 

Secretary Collins also laid out the changes that have been made at the VA: 

 

“One hundred days into the second Trump administration, and VA is no longer content with poor results. Under President Trump’s leadership, we have already stripped away many of the costly distractions that were coming between VA beneficiaries and the benefits they have earned. And we’re looking to make even more historic reforms to better serve veterans. President Trump’s mandate to shake up Washington and make it work better for the American people is guiding our efforts to put veterans first at the department. In the first week of the second Trump administration, we stopped VA’s wasteful spending on DEI initiatives, which only divided veterans and staff. The most important identity to us is “veteran,” and by ending DEI programs, we now have $14 million more to spend on our core constituency.”

 

 

This is what we voted for—the complete dismantling of the costly DEI programs that have absolutely nothing to do with the mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs. This has been one of the major problems. The focus has not been on caring for our veterans, but lining the pockets of these insane DEI contracts that only benefit the bureaucracy. I’m grateful this $14 million will now be spent helping veterans. 

 

Secretary Collins also announced that veterans:

• Will receive the health care choices they were promised under the MISSION Act.
• They are processing a record number of disability claims. 
• Accelerating the deployment of the VA’s electronic health records system, after the program was nearly dormant for two years under the Biden administration. 
• Taking thousands of employees off of remote work and bringing them back to the office, where they can work as a team to better serve veterans.

Well, it's from a pollster I've never heard of ... but the only difference between the results here and other recent polls is that they asked the question more directly. See the recent results from respected pollsters that show a clear majority concerned about Trump disobeying court orders, etc.

Is that the same polster that said Kameltoe was way ahead of Trump just before the election?

DOUG EMHOFF RAGES AS PRESIDENT TRUMP RECLAIMS HOLOCAUST BOARD FROM BIDEN’S POLITICAL CRONIES:

 

“Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous — and it dishonors the  memory of six million Jews murdered by Nazis that this museum was created to preserve,” Emhoff said in a statement to The Hill.

 

“No divisive political decision will ever shake my commitment to Holocaust remembrance and education or to combatting hate and antisemitism. I will continue to speak out, to educate, and to fight hate in all its forms—because silence is never an option,” he added.

 

Emhoff was just one of a handful of prominent Democrats who got the boot. Also sent packing were:

• Ron Klain, former chief of staff to Joe Biden
• Susan Rice, Biden’s director of Domestic Policy Council of the United States
• Tom Perez, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee
• Anthony Bernal, who was an advisor to former First Lady Jill Biden

 

Here’s the thing, though, about Emhoff’s claim that the dismissals were politically motivated: The now-dismissed slate of lefty politicos were appointed by Joe Biden on his way out of the White House. Yes, the appointments were made on January 17, 2025, in what can only be described as a last-minute, overtly political attempt to stack the Holocaust Museum board with leftists.

CNBC has Commerce Secretary and Tariff Maven Howard Buttlick on now and he's being interviewed in front of the TSMC chip factory in Phoenix.

The factory started under Biden's CHIPS Act.

They are now trying to take credit for Biden's economic accomplishments. That's where we are.

That’s fair to say. Biden did start it, Trump’s looking to expand on it. He used Bidens $65B start up investment in the Phoenix plant to inflate his numbers with his additions there. Biden’s CHIPS Act has stumbled in a few places, Syracuse and Ohio. There’s “gamesmanship” going on now with Bidens plan and Trumps. 
 

To add, Trumps CHIP plans are far from done deals.

Not what I'm seeing, and I have a friend who works for the VA.

What I'm seeing is major cuts in VA staffing, including in the people who help vets navigate the complexity of the system to get the care they need.

What I'm seeing is an administration that's on a push to privatization of the VA, following the Medicare Advantage model. You may think that's a good thing long term or a bad thing. But whatever you think, that's what's happening. It is certainly not a strengthening of the in-house VA system.
