CUT ALL FUNDING TO USAID AND ANTI-AMERICAN GLOBALISTS.
What the flip, Kip?
“U.S. Taxpayers Fund 8% of BBC”
No they don’t.
I wonder how much this BBC Charity contributed to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Psssst, money is fungible.
Kudos. Totally agree.
Wow, what an awesome example of proving your case.
