Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Danney Williams, son of BJClintoon was remonstrating on Twitter yesterday, begging that followers retweet his pleas to his father. LOL

No pushing at the door please!

But the demon-crats worship the demons and demonic acts that they demonstrate in favor of, so they have nothing to remonstrate against, right?

Should the remonstrations of the benighted left increase in hostility they will be met with action sufficient to stop them permanently.

Of all words associated with the word “father,” the word “remonstrate” might be one of the best fits.

Barack Obama, community organizer extraordinaire, had barely finished his first senator term when he was elected to the White House to begin his eight-year treason term. He justified his pro-Muslim approach by citing errant tomes such as the Quaran in an attempt to smear rotten republicans in his ongoing attempt to “transform America,” i.e., to restate norm. This meant roster changes at every level of government, so that neither teamster nor SEIU member would be denied the benefits of left-wing incumbency. With a far greater interest in the Arab Street than the traditional Roman Street of our intellectual predecessors, Obama would remonstrate against all those opposed to remaking our once great nation into an extension of the Islamic Caliphate. Barry’s tormentors, a cross-section of American patriots, would fight back with what the left called mean retorts on Facebook, although many took to Twitter, a streamer not quite as subject to left-wing censorship, at least at that time.

Now, when Donald Trump tweets the same torrent of invective that the left uses, he is subject to harsh criticism and threatened with legal action, as liberals attempt to rename torts by declaring anything actionable if it makes them “feel unsafe.”

Final summary of Obama’s legacy: I rate monster a zero on a scale of one to ten.

Remonstrations,
Demonstrations,
Importing terror from other nations,
The Left expresses indignation,
By Endless lies and instigation.
How does the Right vent its frustration?
By standing without hesitation?
By Fighting back the conflagration?
By remembering, with admiration,
Our heroes, and by imitation,
Give it all to save our Nation?

I sure hope so!

Someone like Oliver Stone should do a movie about Chelsea and Danney with the surprise ending that his biological father is Webb Hubbell.

Theresa May is crying crocodile tears over the van attack on Finsbury Mosque yesterday.

However, we may remonstrate against her, pointing out the VERY extensive terrorist history of that mosque, as well as May’s insufficient response to all the muslim terrorist incidents in the UK over Ramadan!!!!

The pics are uncanny. I would swear he was Bill’s son. And Chelsea Webb’s daughter.

CNN digs in their heels
and slips on banana peels
Pushing their fake news
With lying liberal crews
Remonstrating Russian squeals.

After wild adulation of a vile presentation
Which portrays assassination just for fun
The pious remonstrations of this vile congregation
Makes us realize that Democrats are scum!
