And in Constantinople,
The Santa Sophia Cathedral is now a mosque.

Because that is what Muslims do. Squat on things they did not create.

That makes two streets you stay away from, especially after dark.

Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard
Barack Obama Drive

It would be nice as a place where Americans can drive up and down the street in a fossil fuel beast and feel like they are running the nasty bass turd over.

Ten bucks says that within 10 years it will be just another Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.

It’s more respectful to add a few more syllables and make it The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Blvd.

Nicely done.

Majority of Americans disagree. They voted for Barack Hussein twice.

At least wait until he croaks. When we were in W VA even though KKK Byrd was still alive already they were already naming things after him. Even an abort o mat in Lewisburg, the Robt Byrd “Women’s Health” Center 😖🤦🤦

So, what do we do with Columbus, Ohio? Do we change it to Malcolm X, Ohio and watch property values drop precipitously. I thought the Columbus thing is a supposed Indian grievance advocating erasing his name from America’s history in favor of forcing the nation to honor them. How are black identity groups now horning in on the Indians’ action. Dems need to referee their identity groups fight over white folk spoils.
