I notice a change in King Barker Hussienâs demeanor as even his coddling
press has begun to challenge him on his blatant disregard
of the muzzie danger. He has gone from arrogant smugness
to overt anger. Look at his eyes and hear his clipped voice.
He is more dangerous than ever. He reminds me of Hitler
when the war began to turn against him. How can this be
happening to ME?
In his defense, the tourist he had in mind was Mohammed Atta.
The community agitator is in over his head and has completely lost it.
We don't need any more supplicants.
More here than in the UK, oh my. I did not know that.
Obama out.
Trump in.
America saved.
If that doesn't scare people I don't know what will!
Now that he mentions it, ALL tourism from Muslim countries should be banned!
If it’s not already too late! See post 13 (graphic on ISIS supporter (on Twitter) locations by DJ. That woke me up like a cup of coffee.
More evidence of the harm of drug abuse.
