As this administration draws to a close, Audrey Edwards is packing as fast as the Obamas.

By January 20, Inauguration Day, she'll be nearly 6,000 miles away from Brooklyn not watching the festivities in Paris.

A journalist and real estate agent, she first got the idea to leave the US when former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani ran for president in 2008. But when Trump rode down that gilded escalator, called Mexicans rapists, and announced his candidacy for Commander-in-Chief, Edwards put friends on notice:

"If somebody as crazy as this guy gets in, I'm out of here."

She plans to spend a good deal of the next four years traveling with New York as home base. Her first stop is the City of Lights, where she spent three months in 2008, after three people close to her died in the course of a year....

2ndDivisionVet :" Renounce your citizenship if you're really serious."

Firstly : consider the source, the parent company of mindless MSNBC
Secondly : consider how and where the NBC producers found her, in what city ?
Thirdly : in honor of MLK , consider the depth of her character = "cut-and-run", and like most Dems she operates on EMOTIONS , rather than on "rational thought" !
and Lastly : after her four year Sabbatical hiatus, after seeing what the Liberals and Dems have done abroad in the destruction of Europe, she will become a Conservative,..
and won't tell anyone about it !

She’s just another black afraid of having to be equal instead of special.

My friends: These people are educated and have money. They have a need to display it and this is one.

Personally, I have traveled the world fairly extensively over the last 40 years as a musician and an engineer in my careers.. I have always felt folks should travel outside the US to get a grip on how wonderful and rare our country is..
like Israel we are blessed of God until we turn our backs on Him and Israel, looking at the countries that have made those mistakes basically are destroyed..

There are a few places worth living on this earth as a free minded eclectic christian, but the list is starting to dwindle, I am sure that once folks see what much of the world is that operates on the socialist dream..it would be an eye opening experience.. To me, I know not what course others may take, but please God, give me liberty or give me death.. Lord save America as Israel’s ally in the coming war, and grant us a revival to sound Judeo Christian principles..it is these principles that lead mankind towards a Heavenly place..all other paths are dead and non productive..perhaps one day man can look at the world and admit we need God’s way in Christ..
God bless the people of America!!

I’m really not going to miss, what’s her name, when she is gone. There are so many other what’s your names out there who I wouldn’t miss also. They don’t have to announce their departure, we’ll be happy if they just go already.

Charles Lindbergh must’ve had a lot of fuel in that little airplane. How many sandwiches did he have?

Hey bitch. What about the poor black people your boy Obama screwed over for the past eight years who can’t afford to jet set around the world for the next four years? Do America a favor and don’t come back.
