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

I’ve read that Franklin Graham’s Samaritans Purse is already on the ground with aid and supplies.

But... as with any charity - do your due diligence.

I well could be wrong here, very wrong. I will admit that up front. But one way I judge a charity’s worth by comparing the CEO’s annual salary to that of an Army colonel with 20 years of service.

These are rough values. Different sources give different numbers.

Army colonel: $138,000
CEO of the Red Cross: $694,000

And that’s why I tithe to organizations like Little Sisters of the Poor. No administrators there are getting rich on my donations.

Side note: I mean no disrespect to Red Cross volunteers.

The Knights of Columbus covers all overhead, so 100% of your donation makes it to those in need.

They should start by taking the salaries of the politicians that didn’t do their jobs. It sure ain’t climate change.

Better than red cross, find someone you hate and give them money.

Maybe 10% will go to the actual needy folks in Lahaina?

RC is a top-heavy sponge.

Next week it will be the hurricane in California for donations. First one since 1936! However, they will beg red working class for money. Bet on it.

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.

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.

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.
