I couldn’t believe the UK voted to condemn. WTF? Are they for real?
And to make matters worse, the left,the main stream media, would have been praising her day and night like the messiah as she obliterated the country.
Thank you Lord for this man. Now keep him safe and healthy, and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for 7 more years!!

The Red Tories took over. David Cameron ramming that so-called “Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act” through Parliament back in 2013 should have made clear what that party has become.

Now look here, Soros told the Anti Defamation League that Trump is a Nazi. A Nazi collaborator ought to know. [Happiest days of Soros’ life.]
