In fact, Fattah said, he actually is "grateful" for the proposed policy.

All “moderate Muslims” shouldn’t want killer Muslims allowed into our Country. They kill other Muslims more often than they kill anyone else.

Thanks, Jenny!

All - if you scroll down a little from Jenny’s twitter feed on post #6, there is a good video on C A L A by a black man and why he is voting for Trump. There have been quite a few videos posted by black men in the past couple of months. I’ve posted a couple by A.D. Bell; and, of course, there’s Diamond and Silk, 2 of our favorite ladies.
