Need help from DU vets regarding charities

I had great help from someone back in NC selling my old home. He was able to arrange the estate sale and sale of the house.
I could not go back due to medical problems. He also sent packed and shipped some items, including my dad’s old army trunk which contained items of great sentimental value.

I was billed and paid for all this, except for the shipping of the trunk. Jack said that although he has never served, he was doing that in order to honor a veteran.

Well, this veteran’s daughter would like to do something to reciprocate that kindness. So I thought I’d make a donation in Jack’s name to a charity that helps veterans. I’ve looked on the internet, but can’t be sure which are legit. So I’m asking the ever helpful DUers.

My dad served in the army in Panama for a few years, then came back, met mom and got married. Then Pearl Harbor occurred and he knew he had to go, but because of his previous service he was not in combat. He was a machinist mate in the Seabees, stationed in New Caledonia.

So that’s my story. If you have any suggestions about organizations that help either service, I would be most grateful.

Thank you.

Dear Donnie:

I think that incident in the gym class showers when the other boys pointed and laughed at your nether region was regrettable.

Despite surrounding yourself with flunkies who continuously deny that you DON’T have tiny hands (they are being discreet), you seem to still bear the scars of that episode.

No amount of tacky glitz or big military toys can fill the void.

Get some therapy and stop bombing the hell out of other countries and the Constitution.

Sincerely,

Today's New Yorker cartoon:

The link actually loads as a series, the cartoon that really made me laugh was #6 (not a Prisoner reference, but that also made me laugh).

Someday I will figure out how to load pictures, bear with me until that day.

At last, some good news. Maybe. Ric Grenell is leaving the Kennedy Center!

The incompetent and complacent Ric Grenell is stepping down as head of the Kennedy Center. Mr. Grenell, whose previous job was as Trump’s incompetent ambassador to Germany, has, along with the incompetent flunkies who replaced the previous board, have done much to destroy the once admired institution. However, he did get Trump’s name on the building and spend needless money on useless tacky “renovations “. Mission accomplished.
I cannot find any information on Matt Floca, Grenell’s successor. There is the usual tripe on the Kennedy Center page, but since I cannot trust a damn thing this administration puts out, I will assume he is equally incompetent and unqualified as Mr. Grenell unless I learn otherwise.

It is unclear what Mr. Grenell’s next role within the administration will be, but one can rest assured that he will be unqualified for it.

If all the Middle Eastern countries who have given Jared money were to demand their money back unless

daddy-in-law stopped the bombing, could that end this clusterfuck?

I am assuming that since this regime is so concerned with "optics", that Anchor Baby Baron Trump

will be photographed at an enlistment office this morning.

Because his family cares so much about the safety of the American people.

Drunken overage frat boy Kash Patel fires FBI agents who worked on Drumph's stolen documents case.

Source: CNN and MSNOW

Just heard on MSNOW and found a story on CNN.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/25/politics/fbi-agents-fired-classified-documents-kash-patel-toll-records

Allegedly, he’s angry that they subpoenaed his phone records, and those of Susie Wiles. Kash claims that he saw Fat Donnie
declassify the documents he stole. Wiles was investigated because he allegedly showed her classified documents. Because of course he did.

There is speculation that big boss Donnie is angry at Patel because of the bad press over his “work trip” to Italy, so this may be a way to get back in his good graces.

Perhaps I was not clear in my last post. I just got two more hearts 💕. But I have one to give.

I think I may enjoy giving them more than getting them. But it’s still nice to get them. There is no smiling ☺️ shyly emoji, so I’ll just say thanks.
