None of these libtards are "stars" as far as I'm concerned. Wouldn't cross the street to see any of them. I hear this turned into a libtard orgasm fest. Not surprised. I'll donate through my church instead.

Now that you mention it, I do remember a blurb.

Can you refresh my memory?

Many of us have researched the best charitable organizations for disaster relief and which spend the greatest percentage of their donations directly helping people. Of the large organizations, probably the very best is the Salvation Army, and one of the worst is the Red Cross.

Salvation Army was founded in 1865 and operates in 127 countries and disaster relief is one of its major areas of expertise:

SA jumped in with all of the anti-trump forces (Red Cross) a couple of weeks ago and pulled out of any events hosted by any Trump properties-specifically Mar-a-Lago-in response to Trump's handling of Charlottesville.

Chickenchits got their last dime from me.

As far as that issue goes, I’m with you.

I still think the organization runs a tight ship, and people who donate to it would not have to fear if their money would be spent wisely or not.
