Now THERE is a statue that could come down: General George Armstrong Custer, Monroe, Michigan’s claim to fame. Always wanted to shoot an arrow in the horse’s hind quarters.

Actually don’t give anything to the main Catholic charities like CSA because the large ones have been compromised and caught sliding bucks to Planned Parenthood and other organizations paying for birth control and surreptitious sterilizations. I send some money to some monasteries, though, and have helped out individual parishioners caught in financial binds.

I am sure the Dems will help them more than the Christians.

No more donations to Salvation Army.


Same here.

Can’t wait to receive our next hand written note, thanking us for our contributions and asking for another generous donation, from our area Commander.

He will get a YUGE piece of my mind.

Very sad about SA. Research your charities carefully. A boycott of SA is now in order.

No problem.

Boycott them.

Besides, the government should be doing their job anyway....

It would be better if the pots would fill with folded notes that simply said, MAGA.

Yeah, I agree. Komen is nothing but a bunch of baby killer’s. Also I just emailed the local Salvation army office and gave them a polite piece of my mind. I am keeping the other piece at bay, but for how long?
