Kerry to Travel to Antarctica, State Dept Grilled Over Why

November 4, 2016 4:55 pm

After announcing that Secretary of State John Kerry will be traveling to Antarctica, State Department spokesman John Kirby was grilled over why Kerry was traveling there and the trip’s cost to taxpayers.

Kerry will travel to a research station at the South Pole in a trip that begins Monday.

Kirby said the foreign minister of New Zealand would not be accompanying Kerry when asked by reporters. Flights to the South Pole normally stop in New Zealand first. Reporters then asked what the diplomatic purpose of the visit is. Kirby said the reason is climate change.

“The purpose for the South Pole was to talk to researchers and scientists largely about climate change research,” Kirby said.

Kirby was unable to provide an estimated cost for Kerry’s trip.

“There’s some criticism that this trip is basically, you know, the secretary wants to knock Antarctica off his bucket list and he’s doing it on taxpayer expense,” a reporter said.

I imagine it’s a get out the vote trip. Those penguins can probably be registered and of course they will vote for Hillary, after all, they are not white males (some are black and white though).

Hmm. Wonder what leaks are coming out about Kerry on Monday? Maybe he's got a nice igloo set up waiting for him.

He’s going to fly to McMurdo, and from there to the South Pole. Used to happen pretty regularly when I was on a Polar Breaker. We had a couple congress critters come aboard one day for about an hour for that purpose.

Getting this in while you still can I guess.

He wants to make a “deal” deal with the penguins like the one he made with the Iranian Islamoterrorits. Just another junket paid for by the U.S. taxpayers. Penguins with nukes. Not good. I’ll be glad when Hanoi Boi is unemployed.

They want him out of the way? Maybe there will be arrests and they don’t want him around or in the US? Weird.

He is visiting that secret Nazi base that is there. And consulting with Hitler’s clone for advice.
