Year-Old VA Mortgage Rescue Program Ended by Trump Administration

[essentialsaltes]

The Trump administration is ending a Department of Veterans Affairs program started by the Biden administration intended to help keep veterans struggling to pay their mortgages in their homes.

The VA will stop accepting new participants for what's called the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase program, or VASP, starting May 1, the department confirmed Friday.

Some wouldn't default if DOGE didn't fire them from their post service government jobs.

Trump says he'll rename Veterans Day as 'Victory Day for World War I'​

More like Russia every day! I can't wait for the goose-stepping soldiers and tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue!

Victory Day[a 1] is a holiday that commemorates the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in 1945. It was first inaugurated in the 15 republics of the Soviet Union following the signing of the German Instrument of Surrender late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (9 May Moscow Time).[a]

Army's Massive Parade for Trump's [and the Army's] Birthday Includes Plan for 6,600 Troops​

According to planning documents obtained by the Associated Press, the proposed event would include more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 military vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and potentially thousands of civilians. Though no final decision has been made, the parade would mark a significant expansion of the Army's already scheduled birthday festival on the National Mall, raising concerns about costs and logistics.

Speaking of lazy government employees, I just did some business in a Federal Building in Toledo Ohio. The Building number was 420 which I thought was cool, but they still have this, clearly not still there.

Whenever something like this happens, a blatant attempt to create controversy, I wonder what other thing Trump is doing that he needs a distraction for.

Hmmm....

It's a way to get thousands of Russian tanks and troops into the country "for the parade" without attracting attention.
