A very sharp caller on today’s Laura Ingraham show referred to him as “Commander-in-speech.”

Very fitting for a guy who can’t do a damn thing other than speechify.

This is a serious concern, but it’s not the title of the article.

Here is the deal. Islam teaches all believers to kill Christians and Jews (infidels). Until we eject all moslims we will suffer death and destruction.

They figure after the CIA investigation the intel agencies are a little timid.

NO cheers, unfortunately.
