Red Cross is asking for donations for Maui.

No friggin way. The donations will go in the same directions as the Haiti donations went.

The government is literally blocking aid into Lahaina. The people who are actually getting supplies into the people there are literally smuggling it in like drug cartels on jet skis and speedboats, landing on private property. They aren’t allowed to use the public docks and landings.

I can’t imagine that even if they actually wanted eo help rather than pocketing the money, the Red Cross would be defying the government thugs to do so, like the people who are trying to help their friends, neighbors and relatives.

“TO”, Not “eo” in that second paragraph above. Dang typos.

Many don’t realize that the Red Cross is corrupt and works with the Deep State in ‘helping’ foreign nations.

Yep, that's right. Red Cross is not what it seems to be.

The Red cross was LOUSY as far back as 1943 and REFUSED help to service men and their families, during WW II and I can prove it!

Let Hawaii burn. I feel no sympathy for their kind. They’ve signed on to the destruction of what was once known as America. Phuck em all.

A friend, a WW2 Army nurse who followed Patton, had nothing good to say about the Red Cross.

You want to help Maui? send Republican voters. And a lawn mower. When that invasive grass grows back, it will be time for another fire.

Lots of Texans list any respect for those grifters during Hurricane Harvey.
Never give those immoral twats a penny.

Texas Baptist Men are one of the best relief organizations out there.

The Red Cross was worse then USELESS during and ever after WW II and that's a fact!

I don't know IF they were any "good" prior to that, but I have my doubts.

They promise to do things and NEVER have done/do what they promise!

My dad was a 3rd degree Knight. He had the 4th degree Knights at his funeral. My son, 11 at the time, was impressed.

He must have been a very good man. The family of a 3rd Degree Knight can request an Honor Guard for a funeral, but attendance is optional given he was not a 4th Degree Knight.
