Angelina Jolie is calling on Congress to increase food assistance to families across the United States in the next coronavirus stimulus bill.

The Academy Award-winning actress and humanitarian is advocating on behalf of the millions of families across the country who rely on things like free meals for their kids at schools that are no longer available as people lose work and classrooms remain empty due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer shared with USA Today, the 44-year-old celebrity asks for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to have its benefits increased for parents in an effort to ensure that fewer kids go to bed hungry due to the unprecedented pandemic.

How many will starve if the green new deal is implemented?

I don’t what in the Hell Brad Pitt saw in this witch. I know her dad is Jon Voight, but sheesh. Pitt should have stuck with Jennifer Aniston.

Brad Pitt’s brain is as dysfunctional as Angelina Jolie’s brain. They are well matched.

$100 million?

Let’s say this brother-kissing, marriage-wrecking, ethnically diverse children-adopting vampire-wannabe “humanitarian” (she does everything only for the fawning media suckups publicity) pitch in a teeny-tiny bit. She is a publicity hound, plain and simple. Were it not for her stunning good looks, she’d be nothing.

Oh did I mention that I don’t like her? LOL

I agree with everything you said. But I gotta say she is really hot. Just wish she wouldn’t open her mouth. At least politically.

My wife is aware of my infatuation with Aniston. One time she put Friends on TV and then said to me, “Quit staring at Jennifer Aniston!”
I just looked at her like she was crazy.

My PARENTS used to feed me.

Do these children have no PARENTS?

When did PARENTS stop feeding their children?

If she knows anybody who is hungry, she can buy them a bag of groceries.
