I want my check for my kin folks who fought against the south from upstate NY. You owe me bobby johnson.
Since OVER $27 TRILLION has been paid out thru welfare-—I submit the bill has been paid-—TWICE over.
"Wit'cha broke ass!"
What they’re proposing for “reparations” would destroy the American economy for everyone. It’s like the fable of the goose that laid the golden egg.
Liberia is looking for some folks.
