How do you stay in touch with a loved one halfway across the world

“in Donald Trump’s America…”

Obama sez: “The nation of Libya now belongs to OUR oil companies”

BP Says “top-kill” worked, but drilling wells right next to it

Think of it as enhanced evolution, Un-natural selection, cull the gulls…

U.S. War Expenses outstrip rest of the world, combined.
