Everything bad in Obama’s first 4 years - Bush’s fault

Everything we spend in the next four - Apparently determined by a black homosexual, golfing in Palm Springs..?

EH.......NO.

Think I’ll call up my cousing and tell him all about how Malia is GOING TO BLOW HIM.

Won’t he be excited..?

Obama and Clinton’s gift to Muslim Brotherhood

Obama gave Morsi 8B to buy land for Muslilm Bros

Hillary gave leaders of Muslim Bros 300-800 thousand in cash each. The members of the Muslim Bros signed for the money at the US Embassy. These people have been sentenced to death by the Egyptian government. Proof was found in Morsi’s safe. A copy of this was given to an American couple working in Libya and they gave it to Jerome Corsi. He also has proof of the 8 billion. Maybe this is where the billions missing from the State Dept went?

Yeah I saw that after I posted.

Still, I expect the community organizer will be causing strife wherever he goes. Along with some PR stunts.

Bush pledged $10 billion to fight AIDS in Africa. I assume someone gave them the money.

The intellectuals tell us that man arose from Africa and if that is so that means mankind has lived there longer than anywhere else in the world. If so that means they have had more years to develop a civilization than anywhere else in the world.

So why don’t they have electricity? I mean .. damn.

Africans? LOL
They , the anthropologists want to tell us that all of us came out of Africa.
EVEN the heritage of Donald Trump!
Okay, lets try to believe them for a moment.
Thusly, they had a HUGE advantage in time and resources to build, create, and invent all the necessary infrastructure to make life easy for theirselves. lol.

It took the brain fart of British Christianity to think up the Magna Carta, for all rights liberty , freedom and codify it as law. 130 years later, the first patent came alone and we saw the birth of patents.... and the seed stock for the industrial revolution.

EVERYONE else in the world coat tailed on this.

Shortly thereafter the ever advanced Africans sought to kick whitey out.
Civilization was not for them. lol

Then we get this Alien muslim running America.... and end up with this BS.
Wowsers!

Africa suffered under colonialism, but so did other regions that do much better.

I think the biggest thing that held back Africa is a strong commitment to tribalism. Concepts like right and wrong, moral and immoral, and just and unjust have been consistently subordinate to tribalism.

Ask Joe Biden - after all, he said we would be able to track where every cent of the stimulus was spent. /s

“Wonder how all those windmills worked out?

At least they had a plentiful supply of dead birds for meals.”

In Africa they could put them low to the ground and chop up elephants and stuff. Have a real impact on the environment.
