Providing stipends to soldiers in the Somali National Army (State): $76,321,379
$76 million. For the Somali National Army.
Just imagine if that money was used for our veterans and current military personel instead. That's $76 million thrown away.

Supporting Egyptian tourism (State): $18,000,000
WTF? $18 million would go a long way in this country to help out our citizens.

A guy decides to buy his new girlfriend a pair of gloves for Christmas. After all, they've only been dating for three weeks so it seems like the ideal gift - romantic, yet not too personal.
He asks the girlfriend's younger sister to accompany him to buy them then she can point out a pair she'd like. They go to the mall and the sister points out a pair of white gloves which the guy then buys.
The sister then picks up a pair of panties for herself and buys them.
But during the wrapping, the clerk mixes up the parcels without anyone realising. As a result, the sister gets the gloves and the guy takes home a gift box containing the panties.
Without checking, the guy rushes the gift to his sweetheart, but only after drafting this loving and helpful note to accompany it:
"I chose these because I notice you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears the short ones that are easier to remove.
These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me a pair she'd been wearing for the last three weeks and they were hardly soiled.
I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart.
I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time. There's no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again.
When you take them off remember to blow in them before putting them away, as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing.
Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will wear them for the coming Christmas Eve.
P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing."

« on: December 22, 2018, 09:51:47 AM »I’m seeing more and more articles about illegals killing citizens. Half the country will not see those, but many of the articles I see are linked to the victims’ hometown newspapers. Perhaps some Dems are seeing those.
Brian Kolfage, who started the GoFundMe for the wall (see Fox interview with him on the GoFundMe site) says he is receiving messages and emails from Democrats who are donating.

Before this is over, he will be drug through the mud and destroyed. Truth is the enemy of the alt left progressive.
