Just elaborating on the ruminations about the Red Cross. After Hurricane Harvey last year a son-in-law was working both National Guard and FEMA. Daughter and son-in-law’s church was very involved in gathering donations and daughter drove a truck pulling a horse trailer down with the donations. Red Cross attempted to commandeer the private truck and trailer and trash many of the donations. Daughter’s kinda a pistol, got right back in their face and began backing away. Red Cross attempted to get a county sheriff to arrest her. Daughter got out of there, got her husband to head over from 2 counties away (thru floodwaters) and they found a couple of churches to help distribute donations. In all there we 17 tractor trailers of donations from their north Texas church and with each trip the Red Cross gave them hell. From the churches and businesses in the flooded area there were several nasty stories of Red Cross throwing donations in dumpsters, begging for real cash dollars and the goods given out by Red Cross were said to be of far poorer quality than what was thrown in the garbage.
I babysat my grandkids while my daughter was driving back and forth with donated goods from north Texas to south Texas. I did not personally witness these things but I did get the questionable privilege of listening to daughter gripe about Red Cross waste every few days when daughter returned from distributing donations. When son-in-law came home he had even more sad stories.
It was warm (finally) here in the Twilight Zone today, 72 when we went to visit our little Angel!

If true, in the past it was enough to resign, grab the golden parachute, and step into the press where they are ‘off limits’ to attack. After all, you cant attack the fourth estate in a democracy.
Suffer this fool, we are a free Republic! We have laws, and under POTUS Trump the rule of law will prevail!
No deals, no prisoners!(that’s mine)! MAGA!
ties in well the the new Q post #1252 too!
personally always thought Kayne was a kook and I’m not at all a fan of his music but if he wakes up a tiny percentage of the AA community to what the dems have done to them over the years the democrats will be lucky to win an election for any office.
Pic of Byrd and HRC. Was that already posted and I missed it?
Maybe I need a nap.
It’s mid-70s here and too warm for the end of April. Wet cool springs are what I like in OR, hold off on wildfire season... DH was vol FF for 6 years.
