The government has frozen all funds going to the NGOs that are facilitating the illegal invasion of the USA. See how simple that was? Who’s bringing in the illegals? Those guys? And they’re using our money? Yeah, let’s stop doing that.
Also, the weeping and wailing from the Left about “Christian” charities getting their funding cut off? Here’s a clue you can slip to people doing the wailing: If the so-called charity requires federal funding, then it’s just another NGO, not a “Christian” charity. Christ looked at his followers and said “You will do this”. He did NOT say “You will use the government to take money from other people to spend it on charity”. Forced charity is not charity. Forced charity is theft. Now, the left loves forced charity, because they think it absolves them of having to do the icky charity stuff themselves. But if I rob a man of $100, and I then turn around and give that c-note to a starving woman, is that charity? Nope. Because I used the threat of force to take that cash from someone who didn’t want to give it up, which is essentially the Left’s version of “charity”. They never want to use their own money. Think of Oprah and The Rock crying on TV trying to get donations for the people of Maui who’s houses just burned down. Two billionaires telling YOU to give money. As if they couldn’t snap their fingers and have millions of dollars on the ground helping the victims themselves.
Anyways, back to that forced charity, and how it’s not actual charity. It’s an act of theft that allows the thief to put on an un-earned air of moral superiority: Oh look at how compassionate I am! Do you see what I am doing with other people’s money? That’s because I care!
Nevermind the fact that anyone can spend someone else’s money with ease. True charity has to come from the individual. I cannot be charitable with my neighbor’s money, because it’s not MY money.
And let’s be honest, the government is such a corrupt group of crooks and criminals that the afore-mentioned $100 NEVER gets to the recipient untouched. Oh no, there are “administrative costs” and kick backs and of COURSE some of that money gets laundered back to the people who are doing the stealing in the first place. That’s not charity. When 90% of that money is spent on “administration” and bureaucracy, that’s not charity. That’s theft and graft and corruption.
For years, I’ve refused to donate to Catholic Charities, because they have been facilitating the illegal invasion of this country. Any charity with the anti-pope on it? Not doing it. I tithe to some of the churches that I attended when I was active duty and moving around a lot; small parishes without the rich backing that many churches in urban areas have. I’m not the richest guy in the world, but I’m certain that these churches appreciate seeing my small check show up in the mail every month.
And now we see that many of these “Catholic” charities are in fact money-sucking NGOs who are importing a slave class of un-educated serfs in the USA, and there is not a single good reason for them to do so other than overloading the USA’s systems. You can help people just fine in their own countries, and it costs a lot less. But that’s not what Catholic Charities are doing. They’re bringing them HERE and the forcing the rest of us to pay for them through our tax dollars that are extracted against our will.
That’s theft. That’s criminal. That is NOT Christian, and that most assuredly is NOT Catholic.
You want to help out and make a difference? Every single Catholic church in existence has a ministry to the poorer people of their parish. Donate to THAT. Help out with THAT. Keep it local, keep it sane. Talk to the priests about what needs the parish has, and what you can help cover. But stop giving money to these multi-national organizations who’s only focus is tearing down civilization. They’re Catholic in name only, and that name is just a cover for their illegal operations. They can all go to hell. Which is probably where most of them will end up at the finish.

The best charity I have found is the one that pays for college for the children of any Marines killed on active duty. All of the paperwork is handled by off-duty Marine volunteers, so no office salaries, and the only moneys they take in that aren’t distributed to the intended recipients are those minor amounts needed for filing fees to maintain their tax-free status.

In my small Catholic parish in a rural area, I give a modest amount of money every week directly to the parish office where it goes only to the church itself to pay for utilities or maintenance. Yes, I know money is fungible, but we do what we can.
In town, we have a small food shelf run by the local Lions group along with my Church and some other denominations. I got to know the director of the food shelf. Every month, I ask her what would be useful to have and she might say “peanut butter” or “Mac & Cheese dinners”. My wife and I go out and buy a quantity of that item which gets distributed that month. We have only 15-20 families using the shelter, so two dozen jars of peanut butter or a couple of casex of mac & cheese from Costco goes a long way. There are about a half-dozen or so of us doing that. Over time, it makes a great deal of difference.
I know that direct support by donating food bought at retail won’t work for even mid-sized cities, not to mention metropolitan areas, but it does here.
How about the obvious question, asked by any opposed to religion at all….. “Separation of Church and State.”
