No, not my source. Good to know the religion thread uses such lofty words, though.

That the “US” Congress has abdicated its sworn
responsibility to protect the People, while
allowing the undocumented, un-vetted Tyrant from
importing and Quartering incurable, previously
controlled, and previously absent, infectious diseases
(accompanying narcoterrorists and repeat rapists, felons,
and murderers) make this “US” Congress the
most Pestiferous Congress in US history — if not the world.

Ms. Clinton, decaying, pestiferous
Her screeching and braying, vociferous
A detestable female
Destroyer of email
If elected, I predict that is it for us

....you are the King of Limericks.

Thanks. That and five bucks might get me a coffee at Starbucks, in case I should accidentally wander into that bastion of liberalism.

Is selling baby parts.
A practice we must agree is most pestiferous.,
