    We need to shut down all immigration. We have our own to feed!

    No more foreign aid, or oatmeal either.

    How can these sewer rats give our money away to countries who hate our guts while our citizens are out of work, no paycheck, and no food and that evil witch Pelosi, Biden and Harris are more concerned about Pork Bills for illegal aliens and open borders?

    I hope they go to prison for what they have done to America.

    UN World Food Program Warns Of “Famines Of Biblical Proportions In 2021” As Some Americans Wait 12 Hours For Food

    November 16, 2020 by Michael Snyder

    The UN World Food Program was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020, and the head of that agency is warning of the potential for absolutely devastating famines around the globe in 2021. The COVID-19 lockdowns that were instituted all over the world this year created tremendous hardship in many wealthy countries, but in poorer nations the economic devastation has created alarming waves of hunger. There was hope that things would get better when lockdowns were being lifted, but now a new round of lockdowns is being imposed, and many experts are warning about what this could mean for those living in deep poverty.
    David Beasley was absolutely thrilled when his agency was given the Nobel Peace Prize, because all of the attention has given him more opportunities to ask for money. Because without a massive influx of money, he says that we are going to see “famines of biblical proportions in 2021”
    The head of the World Food Program says the Nobel Peace Prize has given the U.N. agency a spotlight and megaphone to warn world leaders that next year is going to be worse than this year, and without billions of dollars “we are going to have famines of biblical proportions in 2021.”
    As I have previously explained to my readers, widespread crop failures along with the economic shutdowns brought on by COVID-19 have put a tremendous amount of stress on global food distribution systems. Food prices are rapidly rising all over the planet, and this is hurting the people at the bottom of the economic food chain the most.
    According to Beasley, many areas of the globe are potentially facing a major food crisis “in the next three to six months”
    According to a joint analysis by WFP and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in October, 20 countries “are likely to face potential spikes in high acute food insecurity” in the next three to six months, “and require urgent attention.”
    Of those, Yemen, South Sudan, northeastern Nigeria and Burkina Faso have some areas that “have reached a critical hunger situation following years of conflict or other shocks,” the U.N. agencies said, and any further deterioration in coming months “could lead to a risk of famine.”
    Here in the United States, the good news is that nobody is facing starvation at this point.
    But the bad news is that we are in the midst of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and some Americans are waiting in line for up to 12 hours for handouts. If you don’t believe this, here is an excerpt from a news report about a food distribution event that just happened in Texas
    Thousands of families lined up to receive groceries at a Texas food bank this weekend, some queuing for as long as 12 hours as the on-going coronavirus pandemic continues to inflict hunger and economic hardships on the state.
    The food bank distribution event, held by North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) in Dallas on Saturday, saw 600,000 pounds of food given away – including 7,000 turkeys.
    You have to be pretty desperate to be willing to wait in a line for 12 hours.
    But when you are very hungry and you are very short on money, all of a sudden you will be willing to do things that you wouldn’t normally do.
    For those that wouldn’t have a Thanksgiving dinner otherwise, this food distribution event was “a real big deal”
    “I see blessings coming to us cause we all struggling. And I appreciate North Texas helping us out,” resident Samantha Woods said while waiting in her vehicle.
    “I haven’t been working since December, can’t find a job, they cut my unemployment, it’s a real big deal,” said Cynthia Culter.
    Elsewhere, millions upon millions of impoverished Americans are facing the possibility of being evicted from their homes right after the holiday season is over.
    A national moratorium on evictions is scheduled to end on January 1st, and it is being reported that we could see a record number of evictions in January 2021…
    An estimated 11 to 13 million renter households are at risk of eviction, according to Stout, an investment bank and global advisory firm. It predicts there could be as many as 6.4 million potential eviction filings by January 1, 2021 if the CDC moratorium is lifted.
    Since the order does not cancel or freeze rent, all of the tenant’s back rent will be due come January 1. Without rent relief or an extension of the protection, many struggling renters will — again — face eviction.
    I have a feeling that the moratorium may be extended, but that will just put even more financial stress on landlords.
    And at some point there will be no more moratoriums, and all of that back rent will be due, and most of those households will not be able to pay it and will be evicted anyway.
    Meanwhile, more Americans are losing their jobs with each passing day, and the new lockdowns that are being put in place all over the country right now will greatly accelerate that process.
    No matter what happens politically, it appears that our national economic nightmare is only going to intensify in 2021, and that means that we are likely to see even more civil unrest.
    Of course most people already understand what is happening to our nation, and that is why so many wealthy individuals are fleeing our core urban areas. According to the New York Post, “far more than 300,000 New Yorkers” have moved out of the city over the past eight months…
    City residents filed 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data The Post obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request.
    Since the data details only when 11 or more forwarding requests were made to a particular county outside NYC, the number of moves is actually higher. And a single address change could represent an entire household, which means far more than 300,000 New Yorkers fled the five boroughs.
    This is already the craziest time in modern American history, and I will continue to keep my readers updated as we head into another deeply troubled year.
    For a long time I have been warning that economic collapse, famine and civil unrest were coming, and now all three are all in the headlines on a continual basis.
    Unfortunately, what we have experienced so far is just the beginning. Global authorities are hoping for a “reset”, but what they are going to get is a “great meltdown” instead.

    Millions of Americans are continuing to line up for food relief ahead of Thanksgiving today, while coronavirus fears are stripping food banks of volunteers.
    A staggering 5.6 million people struggled to put enough food on the table in the past week according to US Census survey data, while an estimated two million people are expected to go hungry in New York this holiday season.
    From New York to California, people waited for hours on end to claim their parcels for the holidays and celebrities including Snoop Dogg, Tyler Perry and Tracy Morgan have lent a hand.

    Long queues formed outside the Food Bank Community Kitchen in New York yesterday as families continue to struggle under the weight of doubling unemployment since the pandemic began.

    President and CEO of Food Bank for New York Leslie Gordon said around two million people in the city are expected to go hungry this Thanksgiving, up 500,000 from previous years.
    Gordon told the New York Post: 'It's people who never thought they would find themselves standing on line for food to feed themselves and their families.
    'Some of these folks are donors to Food Bank — people who used to write checks to support our work, and now they are on line.'
    The food bank’s chief development officer Matt Honeycutt told The Guardian: 'We’ve been hustling to ramp supplies back up before the holidays [and] sending more trucks into neighborhoods, so people don’t have wait in cold, crowded lines.'
    Comedian Tracy Morgan gave out free Thanksgiving meals to hundreds of Brooklyn NYCHA residents on Saturday.

    But coronavirus fears are also stripping soup kitchens, food banks and charities across of volunteers across the country.
    A food bank in the Rocky Mountain city of Idaho Falls that fed up to 200 hungry people a day pre-pandemic was forced to close its doors this month.
    'We can't get the volunteers because of safety concerns,' said Ariel Jackson, head of the Community Food Basket.
    There's no shortage of needy people but, without volunteers, charities have been forced to pare back or change their distribution systems and find other ways to help.
    More than 54 million Americans could go hungry during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Feeding America, a national network of 200 food banks.
    Fuelling those numbers are an estimated 3.6 million Americans who have been out of work for more than six months, according to the US Labor Department.

    The number of Americans filing first-time claims for jobless benefits has been rising as the United States has been slammed by a fresh wave of coronavirus infections. More than 12 million people have been infected, the highest number globally.
    'I've definitely seen new folks in the lines who do not look like they've been living in the streets,' said Lillian Mark, deputy director of programming at the Glide Foundation, a charity in the California city of San Francisco.
    Before the pandemic, Glide had up to 700 volunteers a week preparing and serving more than 2,000 on-site meals a day, which it has halted in favor of pre-packaged to-go meals, Mark said.
    For Thanksgiving, when Glide plans to serve hot meals under tents pitched in the city's Tenderloin District, the ranks of volunteers have definitely thinned, Mark said.
    'Folks who have volunteered here holiday after holiday for years, or folks who have volunteered with us two days a week for years, especially those who are older, are definitely sheltering in place,' she said.
    'They definitely feel more vulnerable and so they're opting out.'

    The Hall of Famer and his Jordan Brand announced in June that they will donate $100 million to social organizations 'dedicated to ensuring racial equality' amid the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    'The Jordan Brand is us, the Black Community,' the statement said. 'Until the ingrained racism that allows our country's institutions to fail is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of Black people.'
    During an interview with Craig Melvin in 2019, it was revealed that Jordan had donated more than $30million to activist projects, including '$5 million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, at least $3 million to hurricane relief, millions to Make-A-Wish and millions to Chicago-area-charities.'
    'My purpose for doing it is because I see a certain need,' he told Melvin. 'I feel a certain warmth about it. If I feel like I'm making a difference, that's all that matters to me.'

    The Number One reason to shut down ALL immigration right now...we have our own to house and feed.


    Send TPS home, it is not "temporary", and their presidents need to house and feed them.

    How many of the 30 MILLION illegal aliens are in our food lines TAKING our food? We are sick of it. We already give their countries billions. Evict them from our housing.

    Shut that border down and expel 100% including thousands of UACs. They are not our citizens to feed, hand those illegal kids over to their Embassy to house and feed on their soil.

    The whole world has problems, homeless, hunger, crime, gangs, drugs, no housing, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, volcanos...well so do we!

    No more people coming here.
