California: The Crazy State

Hillary’s Worldwide Blame-America Tour

  People who refuse to accept responsibility for failure always require scapegoats to bear the blame.

  Even the Democrat-controlled media can’t deny it: Three in four Americans who tuned in to President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave.
