Don’t Donate to These People
I apologize for haranguing, but sometimes I lose my temper.
The American Red Cross has maps and guides for migrants to make the dangerous journeys to the U.S.-Mexico border, according to documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The map, which is part of a packet stamped with the International Committee of the Red Cross and American Red Cross logos, shows a list of resources, including hotels, clinics and shelters where migrants can get support in Mexico and Central America. The maps include clearly defined lines leading to cities along the U.S. border. The organization also has a guide to “self care” along the journey, which includes tips on how to survive the desert and disease, how to safely jump on trains, and how to obtain contraceptives.
plus,
The American Red Cross sits on the board of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Food and Shelter Program and is tasked with allocating funding to nongovernmental groups supporting the illegal migrants. The FEMA program received $350 million from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in February; the American Red Cross is tasked, along with other NGOs, with allocating some of those funds to support migrants after they’ve crossed the southern border and are processed with a court date.

Sadly, the Cougars lost. So my interest in the rest of the playoffs is not quite as much now, but it is time to wish the Texans well.
Texpat,
What Tedtam 37 said about it. 🙂
Hang in there, dude, we’re pulling for ya’.
Man, this has been a rough, brutal week for me.
Sadly the Houston Cougars have lost.
Perhaps the Longhorns can keep Texan hopes alive.
I think I found what I’ll be watching later tonight: The free streaming platform Tubi, which boasts 64 million monthly active users, has officially released the award-winning religious tech thriller EXEMPLUM. Made on a budget of just $9,500 from first-time director Paul Roland, EXEMPLUM combines classic Film Noir with Medieval morality tales and plunges the two genres into a paranoid technological thriller that centers on a young,… Read more »
I stopped donating to the United Way for the same reason a long time ago.
No one is beyond redemption.
Good for her, and God bless.
I stopped supporting the Red Cross years ago after they had tipped their toes into politics, which they were not allowed to do if they wanted to keep their status as a charity. They got hell from folks all over the political spectrum about this being a big mistake and dangerous to their nonprofit status. The apology came lightning fast… Read more »
Tucker’s topic tonight is the blatant lying going on in our society, especially from
dearour governmental leaders.I put up a post for tomorrow, and starting about the 30+ minute mark of the video are some interesting discussion items. In case you don’t think you’ll like the video, from that point on everyone should be able to handle it.
You’ll see what I mean in the morning.
This is where I’ll be tomorrow. Fr. Felix, on the far right, is my parish priest. He is very godly man.
I need to prepare my lunch tonight, since I doubt there will be a keto option. We may go out to lunch, and that would be fine, too. Maybe I’ll bring my rosaries and give some away tomorrow.
Today’s shredding included the big “City Reference” binder we used in the office when we needed to do plumbing work in surrounding cities. Forms, maps, instructions, phone numbers…all meticulously tabbed and organized. No more. It’s a pile in my trash can. I took great pleasure in shredding it. Hubby smiled, too, when I told him what I’d done. Tomorrow –… Read more »
Regarding the trannys; what is it about this that they do not understand?
I really feel sorry for this young woman who has been victimized by the transgender insanity. A former women’s cycling champion angrily quit the sport after losing to a transgender rider — a decision followed just days later by another trans cyclist declaring she felt like a “superhero” for her women’s race win in New York. Champion cyclocross rider Hannah… Read more »
Travis and I did not get wet! It drizzled a bit during the noon hour, but had quit by the time I put him in the carrier and we headed out. No issues were expected, none were found, and the whole staff at our vet clinic are just ga-ga over how beautiful Travis is. The vet and I had a… Read more »

“Mind reading the stupid” LOL! I am so stealing that line!
Wow. Bad juju kilt da blog.
Why did this story about “disguised Ouija boards” being sold on Amazon pop up in my feed today? …because yesterday I listed to a podcast on “The Exorcist Files” (find it on iHeart), where Fr. Martins tells the story of four young men who play with a Ouija board “for fun”. It did not turn out well. Bad, scary stuff… Read more »

Tedtam I was kind of shocked when I read Cracker Barrel is one of the many sponsors of The Out & Equal LGBTQ conference Disney is hosting in Orlando this September. They are, of course, doing this as an in your face insult to Ron DeSantis. Even more disgusting is the list of virtually every major American corporation as sponsors.… Read more »

Morning, chickadees. The forecast looked Ok yesterday, but that has changed. Now looks like 88% chance of thunderstorming in my zip code, right when I am taking Travis to the vet for his annual checkup.
DeSantis offers insight to his foreign policy stances – is he running for President or something? “You want to weaken Putin? Why don’t you permit more gas pipelines here in the United States? Why aren’t we drilling for more oil here? … I think that would do more to weaken him than anything these folks are cooking up.” /snip “Our… Read more »

Dayaam! I’ll have to check that out later and thanks, I’d not heard about that one. I have seen several of the new self defense models with the rougher finish, narrower profile and cheaper ($300 bucks) price.
After exiting the bedroom, I have decided gardening will have to wait for another day. I am waiting to see if the sciatica dies down a bit before deciding if I need to medicate. Sometimes, after being vertical, even if sitting, it eases up. I’m trying to determine just how successful this operation was/n’t, and if I keep taking painkillers… Read more »
Well, I’ve wasted enough time here and after spending 7 hours on the Hustler Zero Turn mower yesterday I’m getting my Lane Shark out to finish off the right-of-ways. I may even whack the edge off the row of privet hedges along the terrace of the little pasture across the road. Later Gang,…..

Texpat, The Luttwak take… Why China’s peace plan for Ukraine will fail.
That was very interesting and shed light on things about China that I was unaware of. Just goes to show you how our so-called News Media hasn’t a clue about world events and sadly aren’t even mildly curious.
By all means; RTWDT!
The always interesting and fascinating Edward Luttwak Xi’s peace plan for Russia and Ukraine.

Texpat, thanks, I didn’t know Fox had a you Tube channel, but then I don’t get out much. 😀 I just Duck Goed it and got all sorts of derogatory (LGBTQ) stories about people hatin’ on Tucker something you’d find on Google.
Super Dave
If you’re looking for Tucker Carlson clips, wouldn’t it make sense to go to Fox’s YouTube channel first ?
Also, Citizen Free Press posts a link to Tucker’s opening monologue every night.
Good morning gang. We missed the bad weather associated with another cool front passing through, which is normal for us. The patio is wet, but the big rains went north of us. Cool front is not really bringing much cool as the temps will still get near 80 today. Not sure what’s on tap for later today, but think I’ll… Read more »
I hope it’s OK to repost this from last night but I found it interesting and strange; I just got through watching Tucker and he had an interesting piece about NPR and their endorsement of the LGBTQ folks arming themselves to fend off all the LGBTQ haters.

My daddy always said never donate to the Red Cross.
