This is a disgrace.
A Gulf War Marine veteran named Albert O’Toole who served this country, took a blast that left him with TBI, and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was beaten by his aide Matthew Cox inside the New York State Veterans Home in Montrose, New York.
His wife Angela Sangro became concerned after seeing unexplained bruises and heavy sedation. She installed a hidden camera. The footage shows the aide yanking food out of Albert’s hands, grabbing him by the neck, throwing him into a chair, punching him, and striking him in the head with a broom while he cried out in pain. No one came to help.
The state fired the abuser.
But the federal VA? Still has him employed. Still paying him while the case drags on.
You make veterans fight through hell just to get the benefits and compensation they earned with their blood and sacrifice. You move fast to cut or reduce what’s owed to them.
But when one of your own is caught on camera assaulting a defenseless veteran? You keep him on the federal payroll like it’s nothing.
@SecVetAffairs you talk about accountability. Here it is. Fire this man from the VA now. No pay. No protection. No more dragging it out.
@SecWar our warriors come home broken from fighting for this nation. They deserve better than a system that protects abusers while making veterans fight for every dollar they earned.
@SpeakerJohnson this is on you too. Oversight without teeth is just theater. Do your job.
This isn’t how you treat the men and women who served. This is a betrayal.
Veterans FIRST.
Zero tolerance for those who abuse them.
Immediate action. No excuses.
If you’re not outraged by this, you’re not paying attention.
Semper Fi.

DEMOCRATS INSIST NON-CITIZEN VOTING ISN'T HAPPENING - THEN OPPOSE PROVING IT
LindellTV's @alisonintheknow asked a straightforward question:
If it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote, and Democrats insist it's virtually nonexistent, why oppose stronger election safeguards?
@SenRubenGallego's answer...
"It's illegal already."
He argued that military or law enforcement involvement at polling places could politicize the military and undermine public trust.
@SenatorBaldwin went even further, calling concerns about non-citizen voting an:
"Exaggerated sort of conspiracy."
Baldwin pointed to reviews in Utah and Louisiana showing "next to zero instances" of non-citizens voting and warned that additional enforcement could intimidate voters.
"It's so incredibly rare."
Yet Democrats continue to oppose voter ID, proof of citizenship requirements, and the SAVE America Act while insisting Americans simply trust the system.
Still, the question remains. Instead of answering why stronger safeguards are a problem, they simply repeated that non-citizen voting is "rare".
If it's so rare, why fight so hard against measures designed to prove it?
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Unreal. Just amazing. Congrats to the entire @nyknicks organization and the city of New York, it’s been incredible to witness! I’m so impressed with this group and they really are the definition of a TEAM. 🔥
"I think I speak for me and OG when I say it's been an honor to be brought to this team to amplify him."
Karl-Anthony Towns talks about playing with Jalen Brunson:
Stephen A. Smith believes Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks “saved the NBA” by defeating Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs for the championship.
“If San Antonio wins it all, the whole league has to start building around one question: how do you stop the alien, that 7-foot-5 alien from France? But instead, a 6’1 guard not the most explosive athlete, not someone playing above the rim just a smart, crafty basketball mind with elite footwork, ended up leading his team to the title.”
A lot of hockey fans criticize NBA players for caring more about themselves than the team.
Jalen Brunson came to the biggest market in basketball and an organization that hadn’t won a championship in 53 years. He took a $100 million pay cut to give this team a better chance to win. He embraced the pressure, never ran from the spotlight, never made it about himself and stayed humble every step of the way.
He dealt with criticism. He heard the doubts. People said he couldn’t be the guy. He never doubted himself or his teammates.
Now?
He’s an NBA champion. A Finals MVP.
A New York legend for the rest of his life.
In a city that never forgets the players who deliver a championship, Jalen Brunson’s name will live forever.
