The SA can always turn to liberals who have a penchant for bottom-of-the-heart donations......uh, wait...

Salvation Army must be spending a small fortune on ads. Every site I go to has a google ad promoting the Salvation Army with a note to “click here for the Salvation’s Army position on discrimination” or some such b.s..

Agreed. They are simply the lesser of two evils.

I gave my donation to my brother who is going through a rough financial time right now. So, I guess my donation is 100% going to someone in need - no administration cost ! Even better, he’s a caucasian male who does not endorse CRT !

(1 John 3:17) But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?)

When an inherently conservative organization i.e. one that is a private -Christian organization helping the poor without the government by private voluntary donations goes WOKE it is futile to look to the socialist left to make up there lost donations and workforce. Socialists believe that charity is necessarily a monopoly of the Government. Socialists do not like competition with their monopoly. Announcing that you are good with socialism and Wokery is looked on skeptically by the left even as they praise it.

The left is good at infiltrating and taking over organizations of all kinds. It’s something we should learn from them or at least learn to defend against.

Major Stanley Newton with the Salvation Army believes donations are down this year because people are financially stretched compared to last year.

Nooooooo, try again. That's not the reason.

What they should do is fire the people who moved them in the woke direction and be visible in doing so. Then hire people to take those positions who are known normies who aren’t going to allow fad cultural b.s. change the direction of the charity.

Locally, the unshaved Salvation Army at Walmart, leans against the wall smoking a cigarette. His female counterpart looks like something the cat dragged in.

The image being projected is that of a loser begging for money

Satan just had to get inside to plant some wokeness and stubbornness. Mission accomplished, Army defeated.

I’m 79 and don’t carry much cash. I pay the kid who does yard work and my barber in cash but all else is on the credit card.

Cash is in fact not required anymore

One check a month pays all bills that are neatly itemized on the credit card statement

“Is he really that clueless?”

The answer is yes. Lots of folks do not look at Fox news or read any conservative columns/blogs. That is where I got the information about the SA’s capitulation to the liberal indoctrination known as CRT.

I think you have it right. It seems the left/Marxist/Bolsheviks/socialists are like insurgents to conservative organizations etc. I.e., boy scouts, then destroy it with left leaning policies. The SA and it’s mission is worthy. However, once the disease gets to the top of the chain, it is over. Very Sad. Many people will be hurt by this. They will never stop.
