Taxes..home loans..my girl fund?
I am a married stay at home mother and I do not work. I am currently on a site called mygirlfund.com and the website states this: Since you aren t an independent contractor for or employed by mygirlfund we do not file any forms with the IRS regarding contributions to your fund nor do we withhold any funds to pay taxes on your behalf. However, this does not mean that you do not have to report the contributions as income on your personal taxes. Anytime someone receives money or gifts it may create a personal tax liability. Everyone s tax situation is different and we recommend consulting with a professional regarding your specific case and what you may or may not be required to report. My question is if not an independent contractor under what would I file taxes or do I have to file this income(stupid question I m sure) I will be filing with my husband on taxes but will have no other income myself. Also plan to purchase a home in the next year..when buying a home does the bank look up this history..like will my loaner know I m on a website like this? Thanks in advance
Is Child Fund a Scam?
Hi there, Kiri here - I work for ChildFund New Zealand. Many of our child sponsors like the opportunity to send little gifts and correspond with their sponsored child. I for one often forget or don't have time to look for something to send so I'm quite pleased when I get a ready-made card to send. Of course it costs money to do this, so we ask for money to cover costs and some people like to send a small monetary gift for their sponsored child. If you don't wish to receive these you can phone our team on 0800 808 822 and ask not to receive any more requests for gifts. You're right about the problem of poverty not being easily solved. Believe it or not, things have improved over the years. Child mortality rates - the number of children dying under the age of five - have dropped by a third since 1990. Even though the number of children dying under the age of five has dropped below 10 million in the past couple of years - that still means there are millions of children at risk. One of the major challenges of the past 20 years has been the HIV and AIDS epidemic - if this had never happened I wonder how different things would be today. Also you're right about greedy governments - but that's why ChildFund works directly with communities - the funds go to the communities and the families, not via any government channels. If you're going to donate regularly to a charity it's sensible to find out whether or not they are legitimate. ChildFund New Zealand is registered with the New Zealand Charities Commission - our number is CC10081. You can also request our full annual financial statement from us. You are also more than welcome to drop in and visit our office - we're at level 6, 17 Albert Street, Auckland City. The very best way to see that your sponsorship is making a difference is to visit your sponsored child (it would be great if you could take your father too!). I hope this answers your questions. If you would like more information please call on the above number, email me kiri(at)childfund.org.nz or check out our website www.childfund.org.nz
Why did Obama send $221 million dollars to Palestine?
First of all,Don't they want to destroy Israel? Why would he do that?Put that aside, this is just propaganda (it is true, but reality is much more than that. The “want” but they don't plan to).Second of all, the money was supposed to be sent in 2015, but it was blocked by the Congress. I’ll elaborate on that later.The US has been giving aid to the Palestinian Authority (ruled by the PLO and Fatah) since its inception, to maintain the Palestinian government and prevents its collapse, as long as the Palestinian Authority is committed to peace. The money is supposed to be invested in humanitarian projects in the Palestinian Territories and to allow political reforms and law enforcement of the Palestinian Authority so it will be prepared to serve as the governement of the Palestinian state (Which was supposed to be established in 2000 but negotiations failed and they keep dreamin’).During a short time, when the Palestinian Authority was ruled by Hamas, the US cut its ties with them and and stopped funding, and as it came back to PLO rule, the US continued to fund it.Following the recent developments since 2012 in the diplomatic field, with the Palestinians attempting to join international organizations, which is seen as a one-sided move aimed to forcing Palestine onto the world and forcing Israel to withdraw, while avoiding direct negotiations with it (BDS is another tool), in 2015 a few Republican lawmakers opposed the move of the Congress to send money, due to the PA’s one-sided moves.Obama could have still send the money legally as the decision by the Congress doesn’t force him not to do it, but it would have caused a fiasco, so instead, he sent it in the last days of his term, so there won’t be any point to critisize him anymore. He did not only send money to the Palestinians, but also to some other controversial things such as the UN’s anti-Global Warming organizations and other international organizations.So why did he do that?Obama takes revenge agaisnt Netanyahu for being a pain in the arse, and also shoves a middle finger at the republicans, pretty much. I don’t blame him.
What charity would you donate $250,000 to?
I can't pick one... I have two but I will tell both two and explain why. Childrens Mercy Hospital... I spent 3 months their this year and they are truly miracle workers. They make you feel so good even when you just come out of long surgery. When I had cancer, they made me feel like a celebrity. I would love to donate that much to them. I know my parents are giving them a big chunk in medical bills but it would still be nice. http://www.childrensmercy.org/ If I didn't donate to that, I would donate to the cancer society. I have lost both my grandpas to cancer and I have 2 aunts currently fighting. I fought leukimia (form of cancer) myself this year. We just found out my cousin has it, so he starts to under go treatment this weekend or early next week. It has affected my life and my loved ones in it and I wish they could find something to help it so we don't lose so many people to the terrible disease. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp That was a really good question!
Why is the “mainstream” media attacking Trump for visiting Louisiana when Obama is doing nothing but playing golf as reported by the same media?
It’s ridiculous this need of people demanding the appearance of concern rather than the actual fact of useful help. People certainly can’t be relied upon to understand that undramatic behind-the-scenes emails, texts, and phone calls that muster resources and coordinate the actions of thousands of emergency workers is more doing something than showing up with a truck and handing out Play-Doh® to people who’ve just lost everything.I’m sure the people who received their emergency Trump kit feel gratitude for how much Trump appeared to care about their plight, so much so that he showed up in person to shake their hands and offer sympathies. Even if Trump only stopped for 15 minutes at each spot, long enough for the cameras to get their shots.It boggles my mind that these people would say something like, “We lost everything, but we knew you would come. This makes it all worthwhile.”[1]Really? It was worth losing your home and everything in it so that Trump could come to town and sign your hat? That’s what your life has come down to in the end?Even former Democratic senator Mary Landrieu, who is supporting Clinton, said, “I want to thank Mr. Trump for coming” because “he brought attention to our state, and we need that now.”[2]Which is ridiculous. I don’t live in the U.S. and even I’ve been hearing about the flooding everyday for the past week. The media is doing a bang up job of shining a light and bringing attention to the state and the struggles there. Those of you in Louisiana may not realise that because you’re sitting in the middle of a crisis, but rest assured, you DID NOT need Donald Trump to go there for the rest of us to know what was going on.What’s going on here is the need for those in distress to feel that outsiders, the rest of the country — the ones whose opinions they don’t otherwise care about when things are going well — are actually thinking of them, praying for them, sending them emergency supplies, helping them rebuild their homes……and coming to town to take selfies with them, I guess. I guess that’s ultimately what’s most important to people when they’re in distress.Not ever having lost my home, I can’t know what it’s like for Louisianans. I imagine the last thing I’d want is to shake hands with and get an autograph from a politician, but what do I know?~Footnotes[1] Louisianan: 'We lost everything,' but Trump's visit 'makes it all worthwhile'[2] Obama’s flood of hypocrisy opens the door for Trump
"Don't send blankets and water, just send your cash." *smirk* Do you trust Bush when he says this?
He also says "trust us" (the government) to make sure aid gets to the people of Haiti. Doesn't it seem like money is all that matters to them? If people gave supplies which are then collected and shipped to Haiti, that would help the people a lot faster and would save a lot more money than having people collect money and then have contractors buy and distribute the food, blankets, and water. Thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibMf68i4rz8
Does Hillary Clinton have the 2020 nomination "locked up" if she wants it?
She won't be able to run because by 2020 she'll be felon. Here's just a small list of the crimes for which the FBI and DOJ already have a mountain of evidence: 1) Pay for play during her time as Secretary of State 2) Uranium One deal where she received $135 million from Russian bankers who funded the deal. 3) Three counts of treason: First was when she and Obama were supplying weapons to the Taliban & ISIS via Benghazi. Stinger missiles were given and were found to have brought down a U.S. Chinook helicopter. The missile didn't explode because the rebel didn't arm it first. We were able to trace it back to Benghazi. The Second count was when she and Obama told the military to stand down during the attack on Benghazi in order to prevent our U.S. diplomat and others involved from talking. Admiral in charge said we could have been able to save them, but Obama gave the stand down order. Gen Petraeus refused to follow Obama's order to falsely testify to Congress and so Obama had him charged. Final act of treason is the coup against President Trump she conducted along with Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan, Lisa Page, and James Comey. She's also guilty of numerous counts of the espionage act. Her two illegal servers had hundreds of top secret, classified, and special access program information all illegally taken from US government security systems. China hacked her servers and placed software that copied every email that received and sent. These copies were then sent to China where they learned the identities of 18 C.I.A. operatives working in China. All 18 were subsequently executed, all because of Hillary's illegal activities.
You must deliver Chinese take out to (former) President Obama. You will get 1 million dollars in return. How will you do it?
Alright. Here me out.Teleportation.I’m not saying I can do it, but I know a guy.So here's the plan:STEP 1: I write a note to my parents, explaining in detail I will need to borrow at least 20 dollars and if I'm not home I didn't go missing. Do not worry, I'll be back by six. Then, I take 20 dollars out of my mom’s wallet (sorry mom! I'll definitely pay you back!!) and head out the front door on a nice 30 minute walk to the hole in the wall Chinese restaurant I so love.STEP 2: I order two dinner portioned sized chicken lo meins and about 5 egg rolls. Totally down for eating with Obama man.STEP 3: While I'm waiting for my delicious food to arrive I dial up my friend Grey, who definitley help me summon a demon to get this food to Obama.STEP 4: I go out and get all the essential things needed for said demon summoning and arrive to my house. Now, you're probably wondering why I haven't gotten the food yet, well the restaurant I ordered at isn't the best at giving food out quickly. I'm using this to my advantage.STEP 5: Now, as Grey is instructing me the demon summoning steps I work diligently in the Chinese restaurants bathroom until I'm called to get the food.STEP 6: Demon is summoned. I then sell my soul for teleportation. I will die in 10 years but a trade is a trade.STEP 7: The food is ready! I go out of the restroom, a changed woman and take the Chinese I just ordered and teleport myself to wherever Obama is in this moment in time.STEP 8: I am kicked out of Obama’s home (I have the worst timing, I walked in on him in the restroom.) but he accepts the Chinese food. I take my takeout and start my long trek home despite my new found teleportation skills. The chicken lo me in is delicious.STEP 9: Ten years later I'm in Hell, asking Satan what he thought of the plan. He asks me why I didn't get him Chinese food. I smile and shake my head.(Now where's my money? I have to pay my mom back.)
