    “Follow the money.” This is a phrase which most investigative reporters must follow to find the truth.

    The Taliban is slowly taking over the governance of Afghanistan because they have the money. Money is the foe which the United States cannot fight through its endless war.

    The Taliban’s resources are overwhelming 1:

    • They control the global opium production according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (PDF).
    • They control the mines.
    • They are experts on extortion and levying taxes.
    • Yes, they even receive charitable donations from religious and private citizens from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and other Persian Gulf nations.
    • Laundering money through exports. Even, refurbishing US military vehicles.
    • Real estate revenues.
    • The governments of Russia, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are even believed to bankroll the Taliban.

    The United States can’t even govern our own internal reckless wealth let alone try nation building through war.

    “Veterans do not have a say in where they are stationed, which makes it all the more critical that we keep raising our voices. No matter where someone is stationed for our country, they deserve to have the right to make their own choices regarding their own bodies. … GOP politicians are delusional if they think voters do not care about abortion.” 2

    Then in a Biggs email newsletter he states, “On Wednesday, I met with Joshua Stanwitz of Concerned Veterans of America, Bob Dalpe of Arizona Veterans Medical Leadership Council, veteran advocate Steve Cooper, and Ro Gonzalez of Valors Veterans Community AZ to discuss the latest VA crisis and long wait times currently faced by our veterans. This is outrageous. Our nation has promised care for our veterans and the VA is failing to deliver that promise.” 3

    Dental; Care fro Veterans

    1. the Department of Veterans Affairs has pioneered a whole health approach to health care, which brought mental health and suicide prevention under the umbrella of primary care and integrated health, provides access to alternative medicines, delivers a holistic approach to health and well-being, and repeatedly demonstrates better health outcomes than the private sector at a low cost to taxpayers in the United States;
    2. the effects of poor dental care are seen in patients who are at risk of or diagnosed with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary conditions, kidney impairment, and even dementia;
    3. the Department spends countless dollars on prescription drugs, community care, urgent care, and emergency room visits on preventable ailments that would be reduced or eliminated through preventative dental care; and
    4. in order to best achieve a whole health model for the provision of health care to veterans and reduce long-term costs, the Department must furnish veterans with preventative and comprehensive dental care.

    “Just 15% of the more than 9 million veterans enrolled in Department of Veterans Affairs health care are eligible for dental benefits. However, the number of veterans actually receiving VA dental care is much lower—about 463,000—according to senators supporting legislation that would significantly increase access. The Veterans Dental Care Eligibility Expansion and Enhancement Act of 2021 (S. 3017) would remove the current barriers to VA dental care by broadening eligibility for all veterans enrolled in VA health care. The bill also seeks to address the shortage of dentists by providing incentives to dental school students and mandates the expansion of VA dental clinics in all 50 states.” 4
