       Location: Displaced Iowegian | Vickie - 2016-08-20 2:17 PM You are a good person, don't feel bad, you were doing a good thing. We all think of CA and LA. And politics be d##ned, we all want to do all we want to help. ^^^^^^ Agreed......both situations are so tragic. I can't fathom the despair that either would be on a person. Prayers for all that are displaced and homeless!

Agreed, STPG is such a voice of goodness on here. She, along with a few others, always have something kind and uplifting to say to folks. |

                    Location: In the Hills of Texas | I'm so tired of the MSM flat out lying in order to help the Democrats...It would be nice if we could keep politics out of this but the reality is you can't. Love videos that expose the MSM BS and lies.

Nothing passive aggressive about your comment huh. This topic is not about politics, it is about suffering and offering help. |

You're right...I'm one very ****ed off American. Enough is enough.
Trump did a good thing with helping and instead of the MSM reporting the truth they had to spin it and say it was nothing but a photo op. Tired of it.
Taylor Swift donated 1 million.
Like Three 4 Luck said...don't give to the American Red Cross. What they have been doing is disgusting but that is who they are and have been. I watched them in action when my parents lost their home in a tornado in the 70's. |

I dont give to the Red Cross either, dont trust what they do with the donations, I rather give to the source and know its going where I want it. After seeing where my money went after Katrina I was not a happy camper. |

I never got a PM on where I could send donations to someone who would make SURE money got to where it was needed most. . . . Anyone have that info? PM would be great |

CCA is collecting supplies to take down there. (A list of what's needed is on their FB page) Several area churches are doing the same. |

OK, thank you. I'm going to get on the phone tomorrow and call a few places, maybe another group will be going out soon and I can send my stuff with them.  |

Well I missed that date of course. . . .
We were getting truck worked on today and so watched a lot of Weather Channel since that was what the repair place had on tv, and watching the scenes from Baton Rouge was heartbreaking. I believe they said 106,000 people had/were applying to FEMA and would get up to 33,000 bucks each. . . . . Some to rebuild and start their entire lives over. . . .With a whopping $33,000. I'm sure they don't care if it was Trump or the Easter Bunny there helping. As long as it was help. As long as he was there. . . |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | Photo Op or not, which I dont' think it was entirely, I think it was more a "Where the H*LL is OBAMBAM??" Pretty much all that was reported was that the Governor wasn't happy with Trump coming down because it put a bigger strain on their security forces. Well good thing The Prez was just playing golf then. |

Pretty much all that was reported was that the Governor wasn't happy with Trump coming down because it put a bigger strain on their security forces.

And what was being reported and the truth were two different things. I posted the video where the governor said he was very grateful for Trump coming down. |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | That's interesting because as I watched the news..forget what channel , we usually have it on Fox or NBC for news that was what was reported as him having said about the trip. Him meaning the governor.
