(Based Underground Newsletter)—Veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation are now facing an alarming crisis: the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is drastically reducing the number of doctors available to them. This troubling development has sparked outrage among veterans and their advocates, raising concerns about the quality and accessibility of healthcare for those who have served our country.
The Issue
Veterans across the country are experiencing increased wait times and reduced access to medical professionals due to the VA’s decision to cut back on doctors. This decision comes at a time when many veterans are already struggling to receive the care they need. The reduction in medical staff has been attributed to budget constraints and administrative decisions within the VA.
Impact on Veterans
Veterans like John Smith, who served two tours in Afghanistan, are feeling the brunt of these cutbacks. “I risked my life for this country, and now I can’t even get a timely appointment with a VA doctor,” Smith said. “This is not the way our nation should treat its heroes.”
The VA’s actions have led to longer wait times for appointments, reduced availability of specialized care, and increased frustration among veterans who rely on the VA for their healthcare needs.
Lawmaker Responses
Lawmakers have been vocal about their concerns regarding the VA’s decision. A spokesperson for a member of Congress who wished to remain anonymous said, “Our veterans deserve the best care possible, not bureaucratic cutbacks that put their health at risk. We need to ensure the VA is adequately funded and staffed to meet the needs of those who have served.”
Call to Action
Veterans and their advocates are calling on Congress to take immediate action to address the doctor shortages within the VA. They are urging lawmakers to allocate more resources to the VA and to hold the department accountable for its decisions that negatively impact veteran care.
Opinion
The VA’s reduction in medical staff is a disservice to the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. It is imperative that we prioritize the health and well-being of our veterans by ensuring they have access to the medical care they deserve. As this issue continues to unfold, it is crucial for both lawmakers and the public to advocate for better support and resources for our nation’s heroes.
By highlighting the urgent need for better care and increased resources, we can ensure that our veterans receive the medical attention they have earned and deserve.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
