I walked into the bathroom did my thing, and was washing my hands, when I noticed this young Black guy trying to manipulate his wheel chair into the bathroom to relieve himself. He was having a hard time, struggling with the wheel chair. Before I could...

    Well, eight o'clock on a Friday night and Bob Mueller and his rat pack Democrat vermin, let loose with their announcement of upcoming indictments, to be revealed, in-depth, this coming Monday.

  • Vanity - "LOCK HER UP" & New Jersey & Virginia "Republican Victory"

    10/25/2017 3:18:49 AM PDT · by JLAGRAYFOX · 17 replies
    As for Hillary Clinton, I say give her a fair, balanced hearing and trial and then put her in prison where she so rightfully belongs...and that's ditto for Barack Hussein Obama..too. Both Clinton and Obama are criminals, traitors & turncoats, as will soon be proved without a doubt. LOCK THEM BOTH UP. And.....Voters in New Jersey & Virginia should send a clear message to the entire Democrat Party by voting for the Republican candidates for Governor in those states on election day, November 7, 2017. Since we now have a 180 degree turnaround on "The Russian Gig" from Trump to...

  • Vanity - Watch for massive Trump Rally in Virginia.

    10/24/2017 5:37:25 AM PDT · by JLAGRAYFOX · 11 replies
    No biggie here....just stand by for a massive "Trump" & other "Pubbie Biggies" political rally to be held in the next week or two somewhere in Virginia on behalf of Republican Ed Gillespie, who, as of this morning, is leading in most polls in Virginia. The defeat of Obama/Clinton/McAuliffe (all criminals), Democrat, Ralph Northam, is not only the loss of a Democrat governor seat, but, more importantly, a devastating defeat to the entire Democrat Party, that is now lost at sea in a canoe without a paddle. Losing Virginia is a political, death knell for the Democrat Party as they...

  • Vanity - If Republicans win in New jersey & Virginia....the Democrat Party dies politically.

    10/23/2017 4:39:25 AM PDT · by JLAGRAYFOX · 105 replies
    Attn: All legitimate/legal voters in New Jersey & Virginia need to come out and vote "Republican" this coming Election day, November 7, 2017. Forget the candidates, yes, they matter, for sure, but, Democrat Party losses in both New Jersey & Virginia will be devastating to the future of the Democrat Party. Actually the loss of just Virgina, in itself will have nearly the same result, because New Jersey is considered a safe Democrat seat. However, the polls are now tightening in New Jersey and the Republican, Ed Gillispie is either tied or leading in Virginia. You voters best think long...
  • Vanity - Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson plays the"RACE" card one too many times.

    The self-inflicted "fatal wound"antics of Obama, Democrat, Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson, the Mainstream Media, the entire Democrat Party continue to add to the ongoing political destruction of the Democrat Party, the political party with no political, people's worthwhile agenda other then playing the "Race" card, over and over again..like a broken record whose time has passed. The fury, anger, outrage and action of the overwhelming number of the American people of all races and religions, should not be spent in raging/lashing forward, shouting out, putting down, tuning out, these America haters and their addicted, racism mantra. The American people, clearly with...

    10/20/2017 6:05:48 AM PDT · by JLAGRAYFOX · 54 replies
    There are no words to describe the low life, evil, hate America, rants and raves of Obamabots, Clintonites, Democrats, Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson. Without a lot of banter, she should immediately resign from her seat in the House or, be forced to resign by the leadership of the Democrat Party, including the DNC, The Congressional Black Caucus, The NAACP, Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer, etc. I seriously doubt her resignation will occur....but, couple her antics with that of the vast, other hate America, Democrat Party, Black Racists and the Democrat Party in general, and it sounds the alarm, that the entire...

    Not much to bark about. The Obama political rally in Newark was lightly attended mostly by African-Americans. There was no substance at all, nor overwhelming energy...more like Ho-Hum.

Let's see how Obama does this evening in Richmond, Virginia. Maybe he can fly disgusting Obamabot, Congresswoman, Fredricka Wilson into Richmond top warm up the crowd.
