We can’t save everyone in the world. Our primary task is to identify federal fascist bureaucrats living in our neighborhoods. ID them by name, address and where they shop for bananas.

What I said is what happens when you let the Islamists “fix the sandbox” as you called it. I didn’t derive that conclusion; it came from every one of them that calls the foundation of the state of Israel “nakba”.

OK then. That really worked when the Dems did it, didn’t it?

Meanwhile, Europe and Asia are starting to recolonize Africa.

The liberals’ rules of engagement does not allow us to save who can be saved. How to cast them off?

We did save the world twice in a row. That generation had a greater faith in God than we apparently have. Might be worth thinking about, because the libs don’t want us to believe we can do it again.

weird how the media hardly mentions this except the BBC, maybe they just don’t care about black lives

Of course they don't. Neither does the regime. Especially African Blacks, are nowhere on the radar of the media or the Democrat regime currently in power. All they have to offer those poor SOBs is a hashtag from Moochelle.
