Reagan should have bombed the hell out of Iran when the last American left that sorry excuse for a country in 1980. The same goes for North Korea as we are still at war with both of them no matter what libtards say. One day, and I pray to God I am wrong, the ability to finally get a WMD within range of America will be doable.

This just begs all kinds of questions. Most of the questions I’ve seen however are not the ones I’d ask. The real questions should concentrate on the logistics of how this type cash transfer even happens. Where EXACTLY did the money come from? Are there huge piles of unaccounted for, extra, cash sitting on pallets in warehouses somewhere? Who exactly does the President call to “requisition” a giant pile of cash? Is it simply printed as needed? You’d think it must be a debit from some source, is that source the U.S. Treasury and EXACTLY who has the power to make such a withdrawal? Does someone just show up with a truck and a requisition form to take delivery of said cash? “Barry sent me. Can you load the truck while I have a cup of coffee?” Who writes the check? Who cashes the check? Questions, questions, so many questions.

Imagine if President Bush had made this cash payment to Iran. He would have been impeached and removed from office if not tried for treason. Obama commits this crime and nothing but crickets. Sad but in the very near future we may learn that this money was used to fund an attack on the US that kills thousands. Kind of like FDR giving money to the Japanese who used it to build the aircraft carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor.

King Obama, the COMMUNISTS BLACK MUSLIM TERRORISTS. Is or was there any doubt. And Americans will make sure the rigged election will find Hillary as President and the Country will become a dictatorship and finished. No coming back.

Trump for President but not much chance.

Is the American public brain dead?

Yes! Way back around 2008 or so I said that 2/3 of Americans are ignorant. They were so busy having fun that they paid no attention to the last 20 or so years what was happening in our Government. Corruption was the way of life and most politicians we in the tank. It is still with us and only Trump could start a change back. The fix is in for Hillary and will be hard to overcome.

We have a criminal illegitimate government that is replete with criminals. Pathetically, there are no Patriots there.

Oh, wait....nevermind. That was America 200 years ago.

I thought the payment of interest was against Islam’s sensibilities. Is the receipt of interest ok though?
