As an Army Sergeant and veteran with a service dog, I was absolutely shocked and sickened by the recent revelations that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has been abusing and killing dogs in nightmarish experiments. This horrendous practice is a betrayal of man’s best friend and violates the values, spirit and mission of the VA.

According to news reports and ongoing investigations by the non-profit White Coat Waste Project, four VA facilities have been spending taxpayers’ money on what can only be described as torturing dogs in laboratories.   Continue reading “The Department of Veterans Affairs Has Been Abusing and Killing Dogs in Nightmarish Experiments”

Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones asked President Trump’s immigration chief for help fighting California’s so-called “sanctuary state” bill weeks before the two hosted a town hall meeting in March on immigration enforcement that drew hundreds of people and erupted in protests.

In a March 13 email to Thomas D. Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Jones proposed holding the joint conference, saying the presence of a high-ranking official could make statewide news and change public opinion on Senate Bill 54. The legislation, vehemently opposed by Republican lawmakers and sheriffs including Jones, would prevent police and sheriff’s departments from enforcing federal immigration laws.   Continue reading “Sacramento’s sheriff asked Trump’s immigration chief for help fighting California’s ‘sanctuary state’ bill”
