@ Kate > “I have also donated through a church connection, not AesopFan’s, and there are numerous church organizations with feet on the ground in western Ukraine or in neighboring countries, helping with refugees. Shouldn’t be too difficult for believers to find a suitable group, and they are all doing needed refugee and medical work.”

I never actually got the donation site posted.

Here’s another one, for the displaced orphans.

And a story about another US group, not too far from me.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – With the war in Ukraine raging on, the country is in critical need of medical supplies. One nonprofit in the U.S. is trying to fill that void.

Project C.U.R.E. has 30,000 volunteers for its seven locations nationwide. It’s been working nonstop since Russia invaded Ukraine. All equipment or supplies in the distribution centers are donations, but the journey to get these supplies to the war zone certainly isn’t easy.

Trying again. McCarthy may have had the objective of raising some public outrage and causing pushback. If the various alphabets and other government entities were half as mellow with the arrangements vs. the Sovs as they are today wrt the CCP, some public knowledge would not have gone far wrong.
Unfortunately, the libs managed to make it a Bad Word, since being anti-communist is, for them, a Bad Thing.

ArtDeco:

Senator McCarthey’s unintended achievement was to give the Left tools to deflect and discredit attention to the pervasive actions of the Soviet tools embedded in government and society. But you know that.

As to Tailgunner Joe, McCarthy was right about Communist infiltration into the State Department.

Various government security services as well as congressional committees were aware that the Soviets had agents in the federal government. McCarthy was a publicity-hound who added little or nothing to already existing knowledge.

I have also donated through a church connection, not AesopFan’s, and there are numerous church organizations with feet on the ground in western Ukraine or in neighboring countries, helping with refugees. Shouldn’t be too difficult for believers to find a suitable group, and they are all doing needed refugee and medical work.

I have no idea what the spam folder’s objection was to that comment, but I took it out of spam and it’s posted now.

It is ridiculous to choose to censor that word.
I’m leaving now.
Have a nice week-end.

This comment is absolutely giving me whiplash!

Will the HM object to something as innocuous as discussing the prime m_____n in Greenwich?

Why yes! Yes, it did.

Well – that is curious.
No dice with the name spelled properly, so I will disguise it a bit.
The name of the magazine is M e r i d i a n.

Well — I just isolated the offense as being in my attempted explanatory note – not sure what’s so offensive about it, so I’ll keep parsing it just for the exercise.

Note: (name of a magazine) aka latterdaysaintmag is the “premier” non-official media site for LDS Church members.
