Slow news day Mikey?
Pray America wakes up
Harry Reid. Mexico’s best Senator.

Here she is on stage, groomed by Democrates since 2009 to play her role
And here in April receiving award for her activism

It’s so sad that there are soooo many brainwashed people who will believe whatever the establishment wants them to believe. This is the weakest link in our country (what’s left of it).
