Wang Fengqin suffered from hunger in her youth, when Mao Zedong was running China, so it brings her joy to cook a nice dinner whenever her sons visit her in the rapidly depopulating northeastern village of Wudaogang.

You have your facts straight. This nation I almost died for has gone totally whacko since Obama and now Biden have pushed handouts, CRT, plus more. Both Bush punks pushed Muslims on US.

I say kick all out who have not assimilated.
