Whoa, Don! You are so very, very wrong about the salary paid to Mx. Zagieboyla by the MS Society. You said she made $473,993.00. I can't believe you made such an egregious error merely to cast aspersions on her totally deserved compensation from this highly esteemed and financially conscientious charitable organization which pays no taxes due to its 501c(3) status. So allow me to correct your terrible breach of accuracy, as follows:
How much does Cyndi Zagieboylo make?
Cynthia Zagieboylo (President & Ceo) $570,915.00
John Scott (Chief Dev & Comm Lead. Officer) $345,012.00
Yeah, baby! That's why giving money to these grifters is a chump's game. They no more want to "cure" MS than the FBI wants to tell us the truth about their involvement in Jan 6.
When I was a new private in the army earning $77/month they announced the United Way fund drive and we would all voluntarily contribute. In fact it would automatically be deducted from next months pay. No choice because every platoon MUST be 100%. This went on every year. It was at that point that I swore to myself and anyone who would listen that if I ever owned a business I would never ever participate in any fund raising for any national “charity”. In the ensuing years I’ve owned a few business and employed many people and I’ve never ever asked anyone to donate one cent to anything. They are all grifters.
The United Way campaigns were an example of intimidation charity. If you didn't meet the goal, the company leaders would come back any ask you for more just to show how much THEY cared about charity. Virtue signaling at its finest.
I hated all of those mandatory volunteer campaigns. White-hot hate. What did the March of Dimes do after polio was cured? Kept on whipping that dead horse.
With us it was CFC. It used to really upset me. There though I could go find an actual organization to give to. I picked a small girl scout troop and it had to go to them. CFC is run by the government so I have no idea if the troop got it or not. But I am sure there is no waste CFC ... /s
02/24/24: The biggest grifter at NBC wised us up about The United Way: "Do NOT check the 'monthly deduction' box [$5, $10, etc.]. Write them a check for $5.00 and you're off the hook." And so we were.
Remember Jerry Lewis who used to shill for Muscular Dystrophy and we thought he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart. In fact, he was paid $500,000 for that one night gig. (I worked on a marketing promotion with MDS about 35 years ago and learned about that nugget).
You aren’t the only one. I can remember how astonished our senior staff was when they discovered this…but by that time we had already begun a relationship/ campaign with MDS.
I asked Google, "What is an NGO?" Answer: "While there is no universally agreed-upon definition of an NGO, typically it is a voluntary group or institution with a social mission, which operates independently from the government."
This is a joke, right? Apparently, this particular NGO is not typical.
I quit donating to the Red Cross for the same reason. 90% of the money goes to overhead, ie salaries, not where they are supposed to be helping. And oh, now they have gone woke or anti-semantic and cant deliver meds to the Hamas hostages.... So really no.
I'd encourage you to drop the Salvation Army as it fully bought into wokeness, anti-racism, and combatting White supremacy. While the organization has attempted to distance itself from its own actions and policies, there has never been an official public repudiation, denouncing, or condemnation of that ideology it so enthusiastically embraced. Until that occurs, the SA gets zero from me in donations or any other type of support.
When my first wife died suddenly many years ago the only organization that reached out to me what the SA. The only one. I didn't even hear from our church directly. I have donated to the SA ever since because you can actually see the work they do. Are they perfect? I doubt it but they do help people struggling to get out of a destructive lifestyle. I have no idea if they are woke or not. But I can't give up on everyone because they are run by flawed humans. Lot's of Christian people posting lots of Christian verses here everyday. Just hope everyone remembers that none of us are perfect, but we keep trying.
I had a chance to bid on housing for Salvation Army officers and family. It was very basic but practical, no frills. I wound up building one of their facilities, a converted warehouse. They turned the high Bay Area into a gym/community center. No wasted money in the design.
What I wonder about though, with both St. judes and the Shriner children's outfit, is whether they are really (and I hate to say it) just using those children (who are treated "for free") as medical guinea pigs? Some of their ads are tear-jerkers, but the ads don't show any failures, just noble successes. I hope I'm wrong.
The Shriners are part of the Mason's. When my hubby was still active in the Masons, the Shriners were mostly volunteers. Not much overhead. but that was about 10 yrs ago.
With the billions donated these slush funds were the progenitors of the Biden’s Ukrainian ATM. Has MS or MD been cured yet? MS may be cured one day but not through this group, but through the research at big Pharma. Unless we all die from Disease X soon. Then when Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg climb out of their ratholes they can solve it.
Will the Israeli researchers be able to develop enough mouse testicles for every Rino politician?Thank you for amassing the msm pap and causing a smile while angry at the idiocy occurring daily.This country needs a MAGA dose of vitamin PDJT stat with continuing treatments made in the U.S.of A.Poca-Mans community college and advisory committee can make a difference one voter at a time.Great poll to end a great week of Surber wit and wisdom so MAGA 2024 ahead.
Item 16: Cocaine Mitch and the Senate GOP leadership do not want to be in the majority. They are perfectly happy to sit at the foot of the table and take the scraps that the Dems throw to them.
Monument is 15 minutes to our south. We all knew they’d be coming and here they are. Douglas County has a written resolution regarding this invasion. A nice gesture, but just words on paper in my estimation.
Some sanctuary city, Denver…bring ‘em in, collect the $$$ from the feds and kick ‘em out (individuals 14 days, families 42 days) to disperse along the Front Range. Then let the rest of the cities take on the burden, while the NGOs carry on their grift. All in the name of humanitarianism.
As to the poll, I’m going to celebrate by voting for Trump in today’s SC primary. He will stop our hard earned tax dollars from both going to Zelensky and coming back to Pedo Joe.
"It is hard to imagine a grim effulgence, but Zelensky's lit up the crowd... or perhaps it was the nuclear detonation he was finally able to provoke." Like that?
I sat right down without coffee first; a big mistake. Google’s Gemini AI apparently did not know to check with Ghost of Josef Menegle first about the incipient Nazis. Pardon my midia bias, but CBS wouldn't know a threat if it met one in the big road. I don't what that means except that Mama used to say it about strangers behaving strangely. You know, sort of like a Philistine.
Half of photo montage? Cassius Clay I know, Holmes, I know; the other two; Jim Jones--Kool Aid afficianado? And is the other man KO King Hearn? Another balloon of "unknown origin" over our land: sent by Mr. Crazy Eyes? Or Crazy Horse, or Insane Burro. We hardly know who to nuke anymore. Maybe it was let loose by some other Oedipus-complexed fatherless child. Speaking of fathers, isn't Item 7 sort of like what folks in the 1930s called "monkey glands?"
I’m stealing and deploying the fact that Iran, Harvard and London are not part of Arabia. After I affirm that no Arab country wants any Gazan (I don’t recognize an individual FKA a Palestinian. )
none of the Arab countries want them. I read an article that went through the history of that area in the last 30 ? yrs. The Palestinians would turn refuges and the Arab countries would let them in. The Palestines would continue to cause trouble in the hosting country, not assimilate into the country and continue to be terrorists. No one wants them.
Good to know. Especially in light of conversations I’ve had recently with or about people who actually think there are some Palestinians who do not support Hamas (and thus Israel should go easy on Gaza. /sigh).
Nope, FAFO. The Palestinians cheered when Hamas raided Israel. They also indoctrinate their kids to hate. Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005? or so. They still supplied utilities to the area but Gaza has been a sole state since then. They keep turning cease fires down. Hamas/Palestinians dont want a ceasefire or a 2 state solution. They want Genocide on the Jews. Period.
#1 Moon landings and other advancements in space exploration were doomed after Obama directed NASA to make Muslim outreach their prime mission.
#4 Before Israel can eradicate Hamas, we will need to help by eradicating the UN. They have been supporting and funding the enemies of Israel with American tax dollars for decades.
#7 Rather than transplant the much needed testicles into every Republican politician other than Trump and Nikki Haley, I suspect they are being developed for the Trans community so we can have more angrier uglier people than FANI Willis and Leticia James.
I believe if we know the sex at birth, we should use the proper noun when referring to them. Honestly, the media said the person was binary. What the hell does that mean?
#7 Perhaps Prince Harry could be the first human testicle transplant patient as Meghan Markle wears his original pair as dangling earrings. And he hasn’t even noticed.

There's more of this, if you care to look it up.
Yeah, baby! That's why giving money to these grifters is a chump's game. They no more want to "cure" MS than the FBI wants to tell us the truth about their involvement in Jan 6.
That was for the year cited

Great ideals succumbing to greed and power.

A part of my childhood just died. But I’d rather face the truth than live by lies.
You aren’t the only one. I can remember how astonished our senior staff was when they discovered this…but by that time we had already begun a relationship/ campaign with MDS.
What has 100 legs but can't walk?
I asked Google, "What is an NGO?" Answer: "While there is no universally agreed-upon definition of an NGO, typically it is a voluntary group or institution with a social mission, which operates independently from the government."
This is a joke, right? Apparently, this particular NGO is not typical.
It probably can't tell you what a woman is, either. Why are you asking it anything?
You’re never gonna recover if you keep doing that.
I quit donating to the Red Cross for the same reason. 90% of the money goes to overhead, ie salaries, not where they are supposed to be helping. And oh, now they have gone woke or anti-semantic and cant deliver meds to the Hamas hostages.... So really no.
Administrative costs are the hob-goblin of charitable giving. They all say that.
And the administrators set their own 6 figure salaries. And decide who gets the money.
It's why I do not donate to charities. Salvation Army and St. Judes. That's it
I'd encourage you to drop the Salvation Army as it fully bought into wokeness, anti-racism, and combatting White supremacy. While the organization has attempted to distance itself from its own actions and policies, there has never been an official public repudiation, denouncing, or condemnation of that ideology it so enthusiastically embraced. Until that occurs, the SA gets zero from me in donations or any other type of support.
This is true. The woke attributes of the Salvation Army came to light 3 or 4 years ago I think.
When my first wife died suddenly many years ago the only organization that reached out to me what the SA. The only one. I didn't even hear from our church directly. I have donated to the SA ever since because you can actually see the work they do. Are they perfect? I doubt it but they do help people struggling to get out of a destructive lifestyle. I have no idea if they are woke or not. But I can't give up on everyone because they are run by flawed humans. Lot's of Christian people posting lots of Christian verses here everyday. Just hope everyone remembers that none of us are perfect, but we keep trying.
I had not heard this and am extremely dissapointed.
I'm sorry to have had to break it to you.
I feel the S.A. mask came off when PDJT was elected or shortly thereafter.
I had a chance to bid on housing for Salvation Army officers and family. It was very basic but practical, no frills. I wound up building one of their facilities, a converted warehouse. They turned the high Bay Area into a gym/community center. No wasted money in the design.
St Judes has become almost as bad. =/
At lest St. Judes administers care without charge to patients and parents.
What I wonder about though, with both St. judes and the Shriner children's outfit, is whether they are really (and I hate to say it) just using those children (who are treated "for free") as medical guinea pigs? Some of their ads are tear-jerkers, but the ads don't show any failures, just noble successes. I hope I'm wrong.

The thing is, they really WANT to cure MS but it's so expensive!
Best comment of the week.
2. 1969: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,"
2024: “Help! I have fallen and I can’t get up!
reminds me of carters attempt to rescue the hostages in iran.
911 operator: We’re on our way Od! ETA 2074.
LOL
Brilliant!
They took down that google ai thing before I had a chance to request a picture of a klansman from the 1870’s.
It would have shown Trump in a white hood.
Except Trump would have been black or asian
They would make an exception in the algorithm.
Standing O, sir! LOL.
🤣 Darn it! Great idea!

You can’t sniff in space…..
#7 “Elephant testicles! That’s for me.” You’ll have to hang ‘em from the bumper of your Bentley.
I don't care if I have to carry them in awheelbarrow
Now I know where they made the mouse ball for that desktop computer peripheral device back in the day.
Item 16: Cocaine Mitch and the Senate GOP leadership do not want to be in the majority. They are perfectly happy to sit at the foot of the table and take the scraps that the Dems throw to them.
Because those are some pretty damn juicy table scraps!
PLUS, they've all got so much dirt on each other, it's not even funny... D.C. is the biggest crime scene in the universe. Pathetic and disgusting.
Plus, when they are in the minority, they have a built-in excuse not to do anything good for the people they are suppose to represent.
sadly that seems to be the case - we're so screwed!
Uncy Mitch needs the money.....
#25 Coming to a city near you…
Monument is 15 minutes to our south. We all knew they’d be coming and here they are. Douglas County has a written resolution regarding this invasion. A nice gesture, but just words on paper in my estimation.

As to the poll, I’m going to celebrate by voting for Trump in today’s SC primary. He will stop our hard earned tax dollars from both going to Zelensky and coming back to Pedo Joe.
I’m still trying to work “effulgence” into my vocabulary. No luck so far.

I actually looked that up a few weeks ago. Nope, not a one. And you should see Egypts wall.
I always wonder if Egypt really doesn’t want the Gazans, or if they are just keeping them in Gaza to create problems for Israel.
Oh no! They REALLY, REALLY do NOT want them!
none of the Arab countries want them. I read an article that went through the history of that area in the last 30 ? yrs. The Palestinians would turn refuges and the Arab countries would let them in.

OUCH !!
your mother should wash your mouth out with soap!
#23 - there is suggestion that the child committed suicide. Once again there is no report of the drugs he was on.
She. She was a very pretty 16-year-old girl who was trying to be a boy. The NY Post consistently used the pronoun "they". Ridiculous.
I believe if we know the sex at birth, we should use the proper noun when referring to them. Honestly, the media said the person was binary. What the hell does that mean?
That’s just horribly sad. Needless.

Ouch!
Amen sister !
Item 22: National MS Society is in New York. Will Letitia James sue them because of Cynthia Zagieboylo's lavish salary like she did the NRA?
don't hold your breath!
