Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Cleaning her yard at night? Using a vacuum right?

She spotted a snake. She poured gasoline on the snake to try to kill it.

Was this is Texas or Haiti?

Good. I’m glad. If you are cruel enough to set an animal on fire you deserve to lose your house.

Genesis 3:15 (NIV)

And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.”

Or burn down his house. Whichever.
