St. Jude Hospital

  St. Jude also has many positive aspects and achievements, such as:

• It provides free treatment for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and conducts research to find cures and improve outcomes for these conditions. It has helped increase the survival rate of childhood cancer from 20% to 80% since it opened in 1962
• It has a high rating from some charity evaluators, such as Charity Navigator, which gave it four out of four stars for its financial performance and accountability. It also has a loyal and generous donor base that supports its mission and vision
• It has a strong reputation and recognition as one of the leading children’s hospitals and research centers in the world, and has received numerous awards and honors for its excellence and innovation. It also has a global outreach program that collaborates with partners in more than 70 countries to improve access and quality of care for children with cancer and other diseases

Therefore, St. Jude is not a scam, but a legitimate and reputable charity that has both strengths and weaknesses. If you are considering donating to St. Jude, you may want to do your own research and analysis, and compare it with other similar charities, to make an informed and responsible decision. 

Migrant Overload

Migrant overload is a term that refers to the situation when the number of migrants arriving or staying in a certain place exceeds the capacity or resources of that place to accommodate them. Migrant overload can cause various problems, such as overcrowding, poor living conditions, health risks, security threats, and social conflicts

Migrant overload is a current issue in many parts of the world, especially in the United States, where the southern border has seen a record number of migrant crossings in 2023, mostly from Haiti, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries. The US government and its partners are trying to address the crisis by providing humanitarian assistance, expediting the processing and removal of migrants, increasing the border security and cooperation, and supporting the diplomatic and development efforts in the region

However, the situation is not likely to be resolved soon, as the root causes of migration are complex and deep-rooted, and the solutions are limited and contested. The US border may continue to see more migrants arriving in the coming months, as the weather improves and the demand for labor increases Therefore, migrant overload remains a hot spot for migration, humanitarian, and security issues

Cost of Living 2024

The cost of living in 2024 is expected to increase by 3.2% for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries, according to the Social Security Administration1 This means that the average monthly benefit for retired workers will rise from $1,657 in 2023 to $1,711 in 2024

The cost of living adjustment (COLA) is based on the change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) from the third quarter of the previous year to the third quarter of the current year. The CPI-W measures the average change in the prices of goods and services purchased by urban workers

The cost of living can also vary depending on the location, lifestyle, and needs of each individual. Some of the factors that affect the cost of living are housing, food, transportation, health care, taxes, and entertainment

If you want to compare the cost of living between different cities or regions, you can use online calculators that take into account various expenses and income sources. For example, you can use the calculator from NerdWallet 4 or the one from Bankrate  to see how much you would need to earn or save to maintain your standard of living in a different place.

Will America Be Strong Enough?

 This is a complex and speculative question that does not have a definitive answer. However, based on the information available, it seems that the US military and diplomatic leaders believe that the US can provide military aid to both Ukraine and Israel at the same time, without compromising its own defense capabilities or interests

According to the web search results, President Joe Biden has requested $14.3 billion for Israel, $61.4 billion to support Ukraine, $9.1 billion for humanitarian efforts in Gaza and elsewhere and $7.4 billion for the Indo-Pacific, where the US is focused on countering China’s influence3 The secretary of defense said that the Pentagon is able to continue providing aid to Ukraine in its war against Russian invasion and also support Israel after a Hamas attack sparked a new and bloody war there

The US aid to Israel and Ukraine is intended to help them defend themselves against external threats, as well as to strengthen the US strategic alliances and interests in the region. The US also seeks to deter other actors who may try to exploit the situation and escalate the conflict. The US also provides humanitarian assistance to the civilians affected by the violence and supports diplomatic efforts to resolve the crises peacefully

Of course, the US military and diplomatic aid is not without challenges and risks. The US faces opposition from some members of Congress who question the effectiveness and necessity of the aid, as well as from some international partners who criticize the US for its role in the conflicts. The US also has to balance its resources and priorities among different regions and issues, such as the US-Mexico border security, the Indo-Pacific security, and the global pandemic response. The US also has to ensure the protection of its own forces and citizens who are serving or living in the volatile areas

Therefore, the question of whether the US will be able to defend itself after sending aid to Ukraine and Israel is not a simple one to answer. It depends on many factors and uncertainties, such as the outcomes of the conflicts, the reactions of the adversaries and allies, the availability and allocation of the resources, and the political and public support for the US actions. The US military and diplomatic leaders seem confident that the US can handle the situation and maintain its security and interests, but they also acknowledge the difficulties and dangers involved

TAKE DOWN THE BIRD FEEDER........

Now let's see.
Our government gives out
Free food, subsidized housing,
Free medical care and free
Education, and allows anyone
Born here to be an automatic
Citizen.

Then the illegal's came by the
Tens of thousands. Suddenly
Our taxes went up to pay for
Free services; small apartments
Are housing 5 families; you
Have to wait 6 hours to be seen
By an emergency room doctor;
Your child's second grade class is
Behind other schools because
Over half the class doesn't speak
English.

Corn Flakes now come in a
Bilingual box; I have to
'press one ' to hear my bank
Talk to me in English, and
People waving flags other
Than 'Old Glory' are
Squawking and screaming
In the streets, demanding
More rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe
it's time for the government
To take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not,
Just continue cleaning up the poop.

To Our New President

America

STAND UP, SPEAK UP. NEVER SURRENDER!!!!

 

Dear Mr. President

 

Why is it the scare always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay?  Why not stop your pay,

your staff, or Congress and the Senate to save more money for our country?  Why use Seniors,

Soldiers, & our Needy as examples?

Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits, instead of threatening to withhold

Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money....

Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members, then see how fast they resolve the debt

ceiling crisis !!!!!

 

 

Thank you

Your A White American?

You see all these articles, about "What it means to be Black", "What it means to grow up in a Ghetto".  Then there's the other articles that leave out what it means to be "White" in America.  I'm sure this will stir up some strife where I'm concerned, but hell, tell it like it is!
Being white in America, means you are the last one to get a decent job.  It means you get left out when other "races" get special treatments.  It means you work for the other people while your children are doing without.  You are expected to be legal in every aspect and the other's get what you can't.  Their not legal, and most of them don't have jobs.  They are drawing the money that we are paying into the government while we get nothing.  I'm wondering how the middle class can carry such a heavy weight?  Where do you see being "white" an asset, when it comes to living around people who don't respect the fact that you work, pay taxes and they don't?  Do you consider it fair to work your whole life and not have anything to show for?
That's what's happening to the "white's" in America!  Their being left out of what is rightfully theirs!
The dope dealers don't care!  They drive around in their nice expensive vehicles, live in big fancy homes and still draw welfare off the government.  Just go to your county hospital's and have a look at the long lines.  Go to your "Human Resources" offices or your Social Security offices and see what the "white's" see.  Even more so, go to your Post Office's on Friday's and Saturday's and see the lines sending money out of the country.  A certain large grocery/department store chain even gives them the benefit's of sending money out of the country.
Maybe, I'm being a bit hard core, but facts are facts and we are the one's suffering.  Don't even think about what the elderly go through!  That's another story!

$1 Bill

A lady in Monte Vista,CO had this dollar bill. This is her story.  These are starting to show up around our country! After dinner she took a $1 dollar bill out of her purse and displayed it on  the table. Underneath the words "In God We Trust" someone had stamped the  dollar bill in red ink---NO GOD BUT ALLAH. We asked her where she had gotten this dollar bill. She said it was part of her change in Alamosa , CO . We took a picture of her dollar bill. If anyone tries to give you  one of these dollar bills as change, please refuse it and ask them  to give you a dollar bill that has not been defaced. God bless our USA!
