Oh my gosh. Thank You so much for posting Cement Jungle.

Our First Lady is glowing.

I guess we should start a FLOTUS ping list.

The last FLOTUS I only wanted to know about was when she returned to the planet Kashyyyk.

The MSM will never fawn over her like they did with loudmouth big MO.

Funny how that works.

Thanks. The liberal left simply can’t understand or tolerate an accomplished First Lady who is so confident that she doesn’t need to constantly be in the limelight having everyone cheer her every move. Melania is a beautiful woman who is comfortable being herself. What a contrast to the last “person” in that position.
