You know what? It’s crazy that Evelyn Waugh married a woman named Evelyn. If that had happened in one of his books, we all would have a field day with it.

It's amazing how public officials who willingly go on TV to talk about these issues can claim ignorance about the very things they've come on to talk about, and it's treated like a legitimate answer.

That's ISP and CCSO, not ICE. Facts matter. And while Salvation Army is awful, don't hassle their bell-ringers over the holidays; most of them are just paid to be there, people who need the check. If they're in their "Army" regalia, go off though.

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions
