The World Health Organization is currently reeling from President Donald Trump’s decision to halt funding due to the group’s alleged mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic and its repeated deference to China’s Communist leaders who have covered up the extent of the outbreak.

On Saturday, the United Nations agency sought to put its troubles out of sight and out of mind as it enlisted Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to lead an all-star virtual concert that helped raise more than $128 million, according to a release from organizers.

Between the two of them, they could have paid the $55 million out of pocket change. But we're supposed to think they're some great heroes for singing a few songs and begging us peasants to support another worthless organization.

Nah ... Lady Gag and Bouncy can virtue signal somewhere else.

That should be to their eternal shame.

Someone needs help ? My neighbor comes first.

Others ? My countrymen come next.

What about all the governors who claim they do not have testing capabilities, hospital equipment etc. Shouldn't that money go to them? After all, the msn says we have the most cases, deaths, ect.
