Wow!
Imagine if America had real leaders.

The EPA, DHS, and IRS, among others, would be gone.
The Keystone Pipeline would be flowing.
Illegal immigration would stop.

The wonder down under.

It’s a start and a damn good one. Gives me hope for the same kind of leader here. Just knowing somebody somewhere is standing up to the Progressive BS gives me hope.
