Who is paying for those air conditioned busses, and the gas needed to transport hordes of people up to our southern border? Look at those bozos, brightly clad in new clothes, new white sneakers? They didn't walk here. Everybody knows that, yet nobody is even asking who is running the transportation. This is an invasion. … Continue reading No BUS About It →

…in the grave, whither thou goest.” Thus spake the Preacher. (Ecclesiastes 19:10) And I’m here to tell ya, Amen! That is, i’m not really ”here”, I’m dead , ”recently deceased”I think is what they call it. (A word to the wise: DON’T opt for cremation.

We had it so good in America for so long that now were like an old dotard snipping up all her clothes. Does she think she’s ”fixing” them? making brilliant alterations?
