A time of giving

HAT HAVE YOU DONE?

I think I mentioned I helped out some animals this giving season...I helped to save 3 animals from Slaughter houses in Mexico...One buggy horse who was tossed out like dirty dishwater, and 2 mules who were best friends...and I helped one dog get some much needed surgery...And of course I help my Son all the time while he has been put thru the Social ringer...I bought eggs for my dogs!! It's the little things....I put out grapes for the Brown Thrasher who lives in my back yard..

Some people have a lot of resources and they can give on a large scale, I wish one day that I could be that person...I would give all I possibly could to help rescue groups, to help people get the social help they need to have a better life, and just be more compassionate altogether.  My Mom used to help out she gave to St Jude, Joshua Tree, and World Vision.  She sponsored a young man named Lann who lived in Thailand...this means she was paying his tuition for school, help get his supplies, books etc.  

So anyways we all choose how to help and today I witnessed an act of kindness...an elderly AA lady was standing by me when I checked out the sweet potatoes, and I noticed she was counting thru the cash she had in the wallet...and she pulled out two twenties, and she walked up to a man that Im sure she knew but he was shopping separate of her, and she handed it to him and said, "get what you need, ok"...she was obviously a woman of small means such as myself...but her heart is open to share.  It filled me up with warmth. 

And then there is politicians such as Joe Manchin who said he won't sign Joe Biden's Build Back Better Bill even tho they cut it to the bone to please HIM a Democrat who looks and sounds like a Republican.  He recently voted for a $10 billion military spending bill...no problems, and he voted for the Infrastructure bill that will benefit his state tremendously new roads, bridges, etc..Need I mention that the Military Bill, and the Infrastructure Bill, that money will go to Contractors of the Military, and big Construction Corporations...so not to individuals.  

The built back better bill reduces the cost of prescription drugs that sick and elderly pay, it expands Medicare to people who will get help with paying for eye glasses, and hearing aides and other medical costs...it also would expand the $350 child tax credit...it would help pay for parental leave, for day care, and much more....this bill is the SOCIAL BILL...it helps the poor, the elderly, the low income families of this nation...right into the hands of the needy....and Climate Change Legislation to stop pollution to raise standards ,,,,,this one is probably the one Big Oil had him by the balls for...its obvious he is bought and paid for by lobbyists.,

He said "how do we know that child tax credit money is not going for them to buy drugs with it?"  OMG if he was here in the room with me i'd give him one to the gut the way he gut punched American's who are way below  his standard of living and who live in poverty while he looks down his nose at them and sees them all as drug addicts and misfits of society those who try to raise kids on $8.50 an hr...that sounds like something Trump would say for pete's sake, Needless to say I wrote him YET again to tell him what a horses Ass he is...Guess where he made his announcement??? On FoX fuckin fake news...

I smell a rat in the henhouse...So this post is about giving, Ole Joe was deserving so I gave it to him. I said "I'd like you to explain why you don't care about the poor of this country and you answer to big pharm and oil and not the Americans' who can't buy food or health care and drive around in old cars cause they can't afford new ones and you sit up there in DC and look down your nose at them."  The state he represents is one of the Poorest in this nation!! The average income for the people in the state as of 2019 was $25, 302 a yr...
