I sure hope the secret service are still oath keepers and will inform those treasonous acts committed there.

Hey, FL, the problem in Africa isn’t the women — it’s the men — the men who are incapable of being monogamous or creating strong families. If they’d just learn to do this, we wouldn’t need to send aid to Africa.
But this point always seems lost on these people.

A nice PR distraction for the public...

Why don’t they visit West Africa where they can witness first hand the continuation of hundreds of years of African slave trade. All well and good to see South Africa but they are silent over the horrors they claim to oppose when they don’t fit the black nationalist talking points.

The White House has emphasised the importance to the first family of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement, which President Obama has called his first political cause.
Translated: Tired of putting Americans out of work in America, Zero's domestic partner decided to try her hand at hunting...
...white farmers.

And before people take my statement and get all huffy, on average 176 white farmers per year have been murdered in South Africa since 1994. That’s about 1 every 48 hours for 17 years.
