MRFF Responds to The Guardian’s Claim that New Rules at VA Allow VA Doctors to Refuse Treatment to Democrats and Unmarried People
VA-building-sign
On Monday morning, The Guardian published an article titled “‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans.”
The Guardian’s article spread quickly, via other news outlets, various organizations, and social media, with nobody questioning its veracity because it came from the Guardian. One Democratic U.S senator even put out a statement on the article’s claims.
MRFF, however, did question the The Guardian’s claims, and in our last dispatch we did acknowledge the article, since it had spread too widely be ignored at that point, but with this disclaimer: “MRFF Cannot Substantiate The Guardian’s Reporting. Our Research Team is Investigating the Story.”
MRFF now explains the reasons for our doubts about The Guardian’s claims and why we decided the story needed further investigation.

My earlier response to Snopes:
Since January 2025 how many Federal Laws , Rules, Regulations, Bylaws, etc. have been changed by the stroke of a marker?
I would like to see a definitive, sworn under permanent oath, explanation of the exact meaning of ELIGIBILITY! It would appear to be subject to change at the whim of he who keeps us preoccupied.
Waiting for MRFF’s comment on accuracy of the reporting.
One certainty, Schittsinpants not working in the interest of veterans – or anyone else.
Fled the G7 summit. Had to get home to put up 2 flagpoles in front of the White House. Wonder if he’s going to sell a new “gold clad” coin in commemoration.
61% of vets voted for the Taco Man. Careful what you ask for!
Current wait from Donnie Two Weeks, loving the spotlight, literally posting “stay tuned,” a reality TV production of an Apricot Asshole trying to play President.
Reminds me of the song, “Eve of Destruction.” Yes, we’ve been here before, another American military debacle, the executive producer the biggest piece of shit on the planet, Netandyahoo a very close second.
Americans the laughing stock of the world. The Orange dickhead in the White House playing for ratings, “coverage” his only currency, but this time it’s a very serious reality game he’s playing, his demented doublespeak rolling out of his KFC hole overloading his fat white ass.
Got his ass handed to him by the Houthis in the tiny country of Yemen. “Please don’t attack our ships. We’ll stop bombing!”
Orchestrated an attack against Iran and now in the “Find Out” phase, Israel complaining about a hospital hit by Iranian missiles, palpable hypocrisy.
Pakistan now weighing in in support of Iran, Pakistan with nukes and the means to deliver them signed, sealed, delivered!
A Secretary of Defense right out of the green room of Fox News studios, another cosplaying imbecile that runs to Daddy Dementia for every decision, afraid of his own abject incompetence, completely out of his depth. He can put US Marines in Los Angeles but let’s see you put US Marines on the ground in Tehran Petey!
His Russian operative Tulsi Gabbard testifying before the U.S. Senate that Iran is NOT developing a nuclear weapon and now completely reversed saying they are, having gotten her ass chewed by the Orange Asshole!
Fuck Trump! The biggest piece of shit on the planet, right out of the anals (pun intended) of an Adderall infused diaper change.
We’ll know in another week how long his next period of two weeks is gonna last. Kind of like his healthcare reform that’s been coming in two weeks – for years!
Trump is a colossal fuck-up. Everything he touches turns to shit, with the exception of those red hats and meme coins he sells out of the White House.
Got impeachment and a padded cell anyone? Preferably in El Salvador.
He sold himself, among many fictional characters, as an anti-war President, his base regurgitating his bile.
Doesn’t know the difference between the EU and the UK. Stands next to the UK Prime Minister holding up an agreement he claims to have made with the EU, Starmer looking perplexed but too polite to call out the ignorance publicly.
Dumbest mother fucker on the planet, bar none. The 64,000 dollar question, “If he does have dementia, how would you know?”
Cognition can’t get any lower than it already is!
Schittsinpants, the no-war Taco Man, just bombed Iran, Israel adding to it with attacks of their own.
Donnie attacking Iran, and immediately calling for peace after pushing some sand around. Fucking laughable. He do love him some news cycle.
Apparently dropped a few MOAFs (Mother Of All Fuck-ups), committing the US, an act of war, Iran’s Pearl Harbor.
I mean, you don’t think Israel’s gonna let it go at shifting some sand around? They want US troops on the ground in Tehran. C’mon Donnie, dust off them parade tanks. We need them in Tehran! Zion is calling!
2nd Armor and 3rd infantry – the boys are ready to roll Donnie! 82nd & 101st. Hell, throw in the 10th mountain div, they’re going to be there awhile! It’ll get cold there well before those squeaky tanks make it to Tehran!
You know the saying Donnie, “Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it!”
“And it’s one, two, three, what are we fighting for? Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn, Orange Man needs a helping hand, way over yonder in I-R-A-N.
Break out your boots and don’t be late, don’t make Bibi have to wait.
Grab your pack and grab your gun, gonna have us a whole lot of fun!……..”
Wasn’t this the rat bag that campaigned on ending wars?
On you MAGA! All yours! Have fun (as Donnie says)!
SCOTUS owns this.
FOTUS owns this.
Who doesn’t own this are the American people.
Nationalist Christians have been waiting for this all their lives. They are ready to be warriors for Christ in the be all and end all battle to bring their concept of their Lord and Savior back.
I knew the FOTUS had to act out. His ego was too banged up by the failure of his big beautiful parade, his big beautiful bill, and his handling of LA (three thousand troops, I think, to patrol a two block area?).
I am certain Synergy is correct. FOTUS is getting what they asked for but I’m not sure it will be what they expect.
And we get to tag along. Oh joy. I weep for the innocents in Iran today. I weep for the innocents here. All because a fragile male ego couldn’t handle failure. If WeThePeople survive We need to Do Better when teaching our children, specifically males, how to handle the spins and turns of life. Violence may be fun for the moment but it’s never a wise decision in the long term. But here we are, new normal.
Seems the ones with the biggest mouths are those who are least capable, living vicariously through their own fantasized tough guy image of themselves, those rubber balls hanging off the biggest truck they can afford – “Look at me!”
Trump’s NFT’s his surrogate rubber balls hanging off his metaphorical bumper hitch.
At the end of the day, they’re just men.
Little insecure men to be exact. Devoid of nurturing as children, hurt the only thing they know, their inner demons on full display, sociopathic, inert, impotent, hollow of character, parasitic by nature.
“Charakterlosigkeit.”
Like Trump and his forebears.
Trump seems to think this is a one-off event, you know, true to Trump form, grab the headlines, show the world what a tuff guy you are, a real Robert Ruff; and move on. Problem solved? No. He can’t stand not being in the news cycle.
You think Israel isn’t going to maintain attacks on Iran? This was a first step for Israel. They found a President dumb enough to do what they couldn’t do but …. this is just the end of the beginning.
Trump actually thinks he’s going to get a Nobel peace prize out of this. He hates that Obama has one. Drives him crazy!
Do you really think Iran doesn’t have enriched stockpiles? Do you think Iran didn’t move enriched uranium prior to the attacks? Do you think they believed the “two weeks” coming out of Donnie’s pie hole?
If you were Iran, attacked during ongoing negotiations to the extant of them murdering your Chief negotiator, would you continue negotiations? “Hey Iran. Let’s make a deal. We’ll meet on Sunday,” says Trump as they attack and kill Iran’s negotiator on Friday!
Iran had the most inspected nuclear enrichment sites in the world, bar none. Would you switch modes and pursue nuclear weapons development considering the negotiation lies? Why would you negotiate anything with the United States of Israel?
You notice the countries the U.S. will never fuck with are those with nuclear weapons? Akin to them hearing, “New York sure is a nice city. Be a shame if something happened to it!”
Trump seems to think the Iranians are as dumb as he and his keystone cabinet is!
Fortunately for the world, Iranians are the adults in the room. They’ve already launched counter strikes on Israel. The only way Israel wins this is for the U.S. to get directly involved – again. In other words, go to war for Israel. American troops on the ground – a regime change and imposition of (because Trump is so stupid), someone like the former Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi, waiting in the wings as we speak to go be the U.S. and Israeli puppet. Chomping at the bit to be installed as Iran’s monarch. Would sell his own mother (although she’s dead) to gain the imperial throne, puppet or not.
Netandyahoo will be back asking for more U.S. help using, you guessed it, “they’re pursuing nuclear weapons” as his scare tactic go-to.
US troops on the ground ain’t gonna happen so Bibi has pretty much fucked himself and his own people. He doesn’t have the cards, as Trump would say, to take over the country and install a puppet. Besides, why would he sacrifice Israeli troops when he can sacrifice US troops?
Trump already boxed himself in in his once-and-done-grab-the-headlines move. Netanyahu praising Trump to the world audience but praising himself with his own people “I did this! I’m protecting you!” His real motive is keeping his ass in power and out of jail!
The Iranians are not stupid! They know Israeli capabilities as well as their own. And they can see that seven deuce off suit Donnie is holding!
Netandyahoo is panicked, desperate, having gone all-in. The Iranians are strategy masters.
The U.S. has no strategy beyond what Trump gives his cabinet – he knows more than the generals. Just ask him, he’ll tell you. And therein lies the problem.
Pop the cork Hogsbreath. But don’t drink too much. The fun’s just beginning! Going to need a clear head to do what the Orange Man tells you to do!
Pentagon planners are screwed. They walk on egg shells trying to brief Captain Chaos! Don’t piss him off – you’ll lose your job!
And don’t tell him Israel wants US troops on the ground in Iran – yet. Let him bask in the news cycle for a few days, you know, tell him how great he is, mention the Nobel prize, let him play a few rounds of golf. Break it to him on the golf course when he’s in a good mood!
Don’t want to get his heart rate up. He’s old! He’ll shit his diaper and one of you will have to clean him up!
Have fun!
Trump and his Keystone Cabinet begging China to talk to Iran about not blocking the straight of Hormuz! Remember the 145% tariffs he put on China? How does it go, “what goes around comes around?” “Please China. If they close the straight it will end my Presidency!” Not to mention throwing the whole world into turmoil. Donnie fucked around, ‘bout to find out!
It’s amazing that he thought he could shift some sand around in the middle of the country and Iran would say, “Oh shucks – guess we lose!”
The old demented mother fucker’s completely lost the plot!
Bit late now Donnie. You done shit in your mess kit playing reality TV President. This was all about preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon, his whole cabinet making the rounds saying “this is not about regime change.” And then Donnie Two Weeks tweets, “This is about regime change,” and adds Make Iran Great Again, you know, Migas, goes well with Tacos! Threw his whole cabinet under the bus. Now they’ll have to back pedal and make their narrative match the new narrative.
As it turns out, Trump’s “Operation Shit Stir” didn’t do the damage they thought it would. Iran could still enrich to weapons grade if it wanted to. But it doesn’t!
So Qatar’s Bitch has to find a new narrative, “Goddamnit! I want a Nobel Prize!” I’m thinking you might get a Noel surprise!
This is well beyond hegemony of the United States of Israel. It’s about dignity and self respect!
The irony is Iran may do the world a favor by standing up to the old Diaper Boy. Like a kid playing with a fire truck, these are not imaginary fires he’s started. He thinks he can tweet “unconditional surrender” and, viola, problem solved, I’m a tuff guy!
‘Bout to get his ass handed to him!
Troops on the ground! Israel calling!
Keep your fireman hat on but be careful playing with matches Donnie!
Well shucks gee whiz. It looks like the Fordow enrichment site wasn’t completely obliterated like the Orange Man said!
Damn, hate when that happens.
So now they have to go back in and re-obliterate what they didn’t obliterate the first time they went in to obliterate! Damn it! We said this was once and done!
Not to mention that whoever told Donnie Dufus the sites were obliterated stand their own chance of being obliterated.
I’m thinking it’s Tulsi Gabbard. She testified Iran was NOT developing nuclear weapons and Trumptie had to counter the narrative to say he didn’t believe her or the entire U.S. intelligence apparatus that we pay billions upon billions of dollars each year for.
Where’s Doge when you need them?
So now they’ve got to lie about the lie, which means a reiteration of the obliteration and a new lie to go back in because, after the obliteration, Iran can still produce a nuclear weapon, even though Hogsbreath said we completely destroyed their ability to put together a nuke. Course, he’s getting his intel from his buddies at Fox.
Kind of like on-again, off-again tariffs.
“It was completely obliterated! Well, er, um, well, it was obliterated in the part that was obliterated, but not in the part, I mean, they were able to blow off the entrance doors. Yeah, that’s it, they can’t get a truck in there now. What’s that? Oh, the enriched uranium was already moved? It’s in Semnan? Where’s that? “Hey Hogsbreath. Pull up Google Maps. Where’s this fucking place at?”
It took them seven B2s to get the unobliterated part done, along with 30 cruise missiles but, wouldn’t you know it, they can still enrich uranium! Goddamit!
“Little Marco. Tell them we’re willing to negotiate in two weeks!”
Donnie Dork already sang the praises of the U.S. Air Force, claiming the U.S. was the ONLY military in the world that could move sand in the middle of the desert.
Good thing they didn’t get shot down. Trump hates pilots that get shot down!
OK, that leaves only one thing Donnie. You’ve got to get some of those squeaky parade tanks in there to finish the job! I think 2nd Armor has some down there in El Paso. You can get some Mexicans out of prison in Louisiana to help you load them up on rail, get them down to Houston for shipping. Tell the Iranians they’ve got two months to negotiate. That’ll give you time to get them there. Tell Israel not to hit the port at Bandar Abbas, need a place to unload. Bushehr has a port. Tell them not to hit Bushehr either, that’ll be backup.
Damn! Wiped the smile right off Bibi’s face when he heard you didn’t get the job done. Kind of embarrassing Donnie.
Someone tell Jesus not to come back just yet. Skies over Israel kind of busy right now! Poor Israelis, that place looking almost like Gaza! Don’t you worry. Netandyahoo’s gonna keep you safe! Don’t put him in jail just yet!
C’mon Donnie, get them boots on the ground bro! Not the ones with bone spurs though. They have to be able to jog at least a city block! If they can play nine holes of golf, they’re good to go!
Trump – Making the keystone cops look like a swat team led by the three stooges!
I hear Trump just passed another cognitive test: “Man, Fordow, Natanz, Pussy, Putin!” Aced it!
Will someone please find Trump’s fireman hat? You know how moody he gets without his fireman hat! He sends ya’ll down a rabbit hole, or is it a Fordow hole, and then you start fighting with each other!
Get it together people! Boots on the ground! Chop, chop! And don’t forget the Noel Prize!
While the VA focuses on Christianizing their services, they’d be better served as an auxiliary of Walter Reed for America’s sons and daughters that are going to need those medical services. You know, the firing of 80,000 VA workers for “performance” issues, well, I’m guessing they were DEI hires anyway so no real loss. Amirite?
But alas, Iran has added some new routes to its air delivery service, United Farsi Express (UFE), to include its just opened route to Qatar, specifically, Al Udeid air base, just southwest of Doha. Reports have it they just sent two “par avion” messages to Trump, not sure if they arrived yet. It was special delivery, I think they do have an express service. My bad, apparently it’s ALL express service, implied in the name, silly me.
Apparently the Patriot boys and girls shot them down but, there’s always a “but,” I have a feeling they’re going to be pretty busy going forward. The THAAD boys and girls haven’t been used yet apparently.
I’m told UFE has two express services though. One at regular express and the more costly hypersonic express service.
UFE is adding several more routes to its services and are apparently also non-stop, direct: Manama, Bahrain; Anbar, Iraq; Dammam, Saudi Arabia; Kuwait City, Kuwait; Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi, Arabia; Doha, Qatar; and of course, Tel Aviv, Haifa, et al.
Apparently Donnie is meeting with Hogsbreath and Caine to try to figure out how to get UPS and DHL back up and running in the region. They also have an air mail service called B2 (B2s & B52s), but are having a bit of a problem with their air drops, a work in progress.
I’m told the first two deliveries to Qatar were test flights at regular express service speed and they haven’t tested the hypersonic deliveries yet. This is a new route so I’m guessing they expected a few snags before opening up their “saturation” service.
Going to get real busy in the coming days.
The VA prolly ought to put the Christian stuff on hold for a while and focus on medicine and treatment.
Donnie says, “You better not retaliate after we start a war with you,” Yeah, how’s that working out for you Donnie?
Got you a forever war going? Netandyahoo played you like a fiddle! Suckered your dumb ass right into a “World in Chaos” soap. “Get out of the way Israel, we’ve got more suckers and losers than you do! What’s that? You need money? Your economy is screwed? No worries, we’ll borrow some from China. Oh, wait a minute, China and Japan says no. We’ll find the money. I’ll raise taxes on Americans, no worries! You just take a break. We got this!”
“And thanks for letting us have your war. Americans love them some Kosher shit sandwiches! How’s Gaza going? You got them Palestinians out of there yet? When we gonna do the ground breaking for Trump Gaza? What’s that? You’re a little busy right now? C’mon Bibi. I got Don Jr and Eric ready to break ground. Gonna be using some cheap Mexican labor!”
lots of feminine energy
