Ain’t that the sad truth, about Obama. But don’t count America out just yet. With God’s help we’ll return to our destiny of covenant with Him.

I hoped we could buy some time with President Donald Trump.

Well, we can see the constant attacks on him since day one.

Still far too many idiots that believe in CNN and MSNBC.

No need to change the linens. They will be back shortly and another family will be mourning.

Just how many Governor Edward’s has Louisiana had? Seems as if almost every other one is an Edward’s….. 🧐

“..Just how many Governor Edward’s has Louisiana had? Seems as if almost every other one is an Edward’s….. 🧐...”

This jackarse is no relation to “Fast Eddie”, even though he does carry the same last name. Many believe that’s how this POS got elected in the first place: name recognition. He is no relation to Edwin Edwards. However, both were RATs to the nth degree, but “Fast Eddie” was the bigger crook.

I hope the Gov was smart enough to accept cash or wires to a Swiss account.
