Bread for Cupcakes

There were cupcakes on the thread, but now it’s “deserted”.

Seriously, this little Valentine fundraiser post was popping up all over and then suddenly got deleted. We found it on a Cannon Elementary PTA group forum. But then it vanished. Maybe the admins realized the group behind it was (gasp) the political Protect GCISD group and fundraisers for (gasp) political groups were not appropriate in that context…; because it’s a PTA group. And the PTA isn’t politicajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

…sorry, my nose just went all DE Bergerac on me and extended several inches, took me a moment to extract it from my keyboard.

Looking into the fine print on the Protect GCISD website, I see that I have told a horrendous fib. It says right there as plain as the overgrown nose that was previously stuck to my “j” key:

We are NOT a partisan or a political group. Our members are diverse and hold varied political beliefs.
We are a PRO-public education group that is bringing community awareness to the attack on public education & GCISD.

Soooo…that clears that up. I just mistook them for a political group because of all the political positions they take in their blog articles, tweets, facebook posts, and frequent attacks on conservative individuals, groups, and companies.

My bad. I shouldn’t have assumed that political activity, pontification, and tons of pavement pounding to get out the vote for woke liberal school board candidates is some sort of indication that Protect GCISD is a political group.

Anyway, there’s this “Cupcakes for Community” fundraiser by the folks at Protect GCISD: 4 cupcakes delivered for $30. At least one of their Tweets says it “was a big hit last time”. By “big hit”, do they mean people loved the cupcakes? They made a ton of money off the cupcakes? Both? Or did something hit the cupcakes? (Trying my damnedest to work in a “batter” pun, here.)

I’m curious, what does a non-political/non-partisan group do with the money raised from 4 cupcakes per $30 donation? I thought maybe it was spent on those colorful “Proud GCISD Ally” yard signs, but it turns out folks donated money to get those in a different Protect GCISD fundraiser.

A scroll through the Protect GCISD events page sure displays a lot of “donation” events.

We’re still digging through their copious posts and articles to figure out whether they are breaking even, in the hole, saving for a rainy day, or putting a glorious wad of donated fundage into some good causes, like Hunter Biden’s rehab program. While doing so, we keep running across all these other political groups and actual political candidates, past present, and future, who are happily conjoined to the group through events and bloviations across Protect GCISD’s copious web of social media presences.

Well, regardless, it’s a pity that the posts keep disappearing from threads where it was inappropriate for them to appear in the first place.

Some of us don’t care who’s getting the money or if it is, or is not, being laundered over to some actual political group like Texas Bipartisan Alliance where Rachel E. Wall, JD is still listed as vice president.

Some of us will buy cupcakes even if the financial proceeds go to Dr. Fauci’s Beagle torture lab. We just like cupcakes that much.

I’m digging through the couch cushions to see if I can find 30 unallocated clams.

I got a friend at Patriot Mobile who likes cupcakes and is a former first responder.

HEY! Protect GCISD, you could kill two birds with one stone: Deliver the cupcakes I order to the PM headquarters, and you can wear a “Defund the Police” or “Christian Companies Bribe with Pizza” t-shirt and protest a little while you’re there.
