Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive massive amounts of taxpayer dollars, and the numbers speak for themselves. These funds, total BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars.

Here are just a few of the recent grants awarded (pre @RobertKennedyJr ) by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):

LUTHERAN IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE SERVICE INC: $367,612,906 LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES OF THE SOUTH, INC: $134,190,472.95 LUTHERAN SERVICES FLORIDA, INC.: $82,937,819.95

There are MANY more organizations cashing in on our hard-earned money. These entities are receiving huge sums, which raise serious questions about how taxpayer funds are being spent and who’s benefiting.

Of the money not laundered back or skimmed off the top, probably 80% was funding the illegal alien trafficking operation.

Wikipedia says
“A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an independent, typically nonprofit organization that operates outside government control.”
Every word of that is a lie.

Pretty much all the churches, along with the UN and other nonprofits, are loaded up on this.

I never realized how many new or future Lutherans were being invaded into the country

A cursory look through some of the Form 990 tax forms for state "locals" for Lutheran Social Services shows CEOs and other bug wigs making well more than $100K a year with benefits, and some over $200K -- just for handing out "contributions" -- much of which comes from government. And often in the "other salaries" category of Part IX, line 7, the hidden pay to many, many "charitable" employees is found.

Many 501(c)3 entities exist to pay themselves very well indeed.

A form of grift -- legal grift -- but grift nonetheless.

Never forget that Christian orgs have a history of community service. Not the “comServ” that Obama used for his personal benefit. Actual open hands out to those in need.
So, don’t automatically condemn $$ going to a Christian Org — that is what the commie trash want you to do so they can destroy Christianity.
Follow the money. If for illegal alien support, cut it off. If general support for the poor, evaluate if they are doing a better job than ANY gov’mt org could do.

There’s not ONE NGO dedicated to assisting with conservative ideas and values. And nonprofits? The left and evil men like George Soros realized their value years ago to scamming the American people into supporting stuff they hated.

It’s past time to look very closely at who benefits, why and how...

It’s time to hold these organizations accountable. American taxpayers deserve transparency. Enough is enough!


Trump has very specifically addressed this issue. but more needs to be done beyond that. Each of us should look closely at our charitable giving.

Wow! TX-10th District got about $100,000,000.00! TX-10 is Michael McCaul’s district.
Where was that slush money going? Houston/Austin are lib areas of course, but what are they buying?
I always thought Michael McCaul was one of the good guys - maybe to unseat him?

I guess this explains the BLM, pride, refugees welcome etc banners outside the Lutheran church near me.

It will be nice to see that (now apparently) corrupt outfit lose funding (and face in the community).

Check this out.

“Senator Lindsey Graham, @LindseyGrahamSC , is a Director at the International Republican Institute, a nonprofit funded by USAID.

🔹 Government Funding: $130.7M reported on IRS Form 990
🔹 Active Grants: $9.2M
🔹 EIN: 521340267 | UEI: V2DWM1KMJNK5

Many Congresspeople are not neutrals when it comes to closing down USAID, because they are a part of it.”

And being a church(?) it’s all tax free and they don’t have to account for where any of it is spent.

Church leaders now looking at recently available ocean front property in Malibu to build Chapels on.

your statement is for emphasis, and you know that is not true.

But you do raise a very good point.

Return of an Unclean Spirit

Mat 12:43 “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none.
Mat 12:44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order.
Mat 12:45 Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”

There is much wisdom in the above. When My brother quit smoking he put a toothpick in his mouth

You replace one habit with another, focusing on eliminating a bad habit doesn’t work, it comes back.

So.............................

We better be working hard on replacing the thing we are kicking out. Trump does a good job of explain why he does something.

We need to get busy.
