It’s lying and bearing false witness on the interwebs
and you are going to burn in a fiery painful hell.

Think about “Sum Gai” when you are burning in a fiery painful hell.

Think about that lie while you are burning in a fiery painful hell.

The politicians have a priority system that all spending goes through. The VA is way down on the list.

Michelle's road trips are on top.
