A list of those who aren’t helping with victims in Texas

Texas is suffering a major disaster due to Hurricane Harvey and countless people are volunteering and donating. The Cajun Navy in particular, has done wonderful work:

One volunteer rescuer with the Cajun Navy, identified only by his first name, Brandon, told local ABC Houston station KTRK-TV that he came from Hammond, Louisiana, in order to assist with the rescue efforts, adding that he hopes to "give back."

"Because Louisiana has always had its fair share of hurricanes and everybody has always showed up for us, so it’s time to give back," Brandon said.

"The Cajun Navy, they pretty much step up and make it happen," he added, saying that they prioritize rescuing elderly people and children, "and then whoever else hollers they need a ride."

Joe Martinez, another citizen rescuer and member of the Cajun Navy, told KTRK that he came from Lafayette, Louisiana, "with a group of 10 boats ... and everybody went and tried to save some people."

"We have meteorologists," Martinez added. "And everybody is volunteer, they dispatch, calls come in, people find it on Facebook, whatever, they post a call, they just get the information out."

Nothing else mattered - not race, not political leaning, nothing except for saving people

Houston has brought out the best of America. But there are notable absences among the rolls of those who are helping. They include:

The antifa (not any of them)

Black Lives Matter

The Clinton Foundation

They are too busy fighting for the right of mentally ill men and women to have their plumbing modified.

Priorities, don’t you know.

For the most part, those people are far too important to be risking their lives in dirty water.

It's easy to make claims about those we dislike, hate or disagree with.

The left is a great example of it.

But how do we know if any of these mentioned HAVE NOT done anything.

By ASSUMING they haven't, simply because we see or hear of no evidence, and then denigrating them,
Makes us no different than the left.

Flopping Aces is nothing more than a blog.

The person has put no information forward confirming these claims.

Believe this stuff if you want.
But based on what? Conjecture or proof?

The Clinton Foundation is now accepting funds to gear up their Hati style releif machine. They have already not rebuilt 3 hospitals and around 500 houses.

JJ Watt has led a campaign that has raised an enormous amount of unexpected money.

“The Clinton Foundation”

Probably best that the Clinton Global Crime Initiative Foundation did not collect funds for Hurricane Harvey victims .... they would be in the back of the line behind the Haitians waiting for their Earthquake relief funds!

Where are Obama and his “body man” Regie Love? Helping out would be a good workout for them.

Good for her, and she does live in Texas. Of course, next April 15, the rest of us will cover a big chunk of her donation.

No, we won't. The Swamp will not get their pound of flesh from her million, but nothing will be coming out of our pockets.

And the, "well, someone has to make up the difference" argument does not fly. If it did, none of us could claim any sort of 'deduction' without being shamed by guilt.
