While the Democrats used the Christmas season to push mandates and COVID-19 hysteria, former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to spend the holiday spreading some cheer. On Thursday, Schwarzeneggar donated 25 tiny homes to the Village for Vets, which was designed to shelter homeless veterans in West Los Angeles.
Working with Village for Vets, Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough, and the American Veterans (AMVETS) to build the homes, the former governor tweeted, “Today, I celebrated Christmas early. The 25 homes I donated for homeless veterans were installed here in LA. It was fantastic to spend some time with our heroes and welcome them into their new homes.”
The former bodybuilder told the host of “The Issue Is”, Elex Michaelson, “I’ve made and have this great success because of America. The Issue Is. If it isn’t bodybuilding, if it isn’t business, if it isn’t show business, movies and politics — whatever I tackled I achieved because of America, so to me, it’s always great to give something back.”
One of the veterans, Bruce Henry Cooper, got the chance to personally thank Schwarzenegger for his donation. “It’s been a life-saver for me.” He added that the former governor “has not forgotten…anybody.”
Donating $250,000 to help the organizations finish building the last 25 tiny homes, AMVETS member Rob Reynolds noted that each home is equipped with electricity, heating, and air conditioning.
Any donations made to Village for Vets go straight toward building homes for at-risk vets. The organization hopes to “provide an elevated standard of living from tent encampments while veterans are on their journey to find permanent housing and stability.”

This peach of trash is trying to buy his way back in
Here in California we bought his act and once is enough
While this is very nice. What did he say a short time ago about our freedoms?
The Schwarzenegger family has a very dark and evil past.Arnold’s father was a Nazi in WW2 who helped murder Jews.
