Gee, and I wonder if this sort of bullsh#t went on in the wake of Katrina. It’s been a pretty disgusting spectacle with that woman mayor of San Juan having the Media Party eat out of her hand.

Meanwhile Howard Dean is saying that the Clinton Foundation should be put in charge of relief efforts in Puerto Rico. I guess PR needs lessons in what first world corruption looks like.

If Mayor Cruz is involved - expect the story to be buried by the MSM.

why do we still have PR. has a territory ? They come over here , many on welfare, fly their own flag, speak their ow language, and are proud of their own country before this one. It is corrupt to the core. It is a Democratic haven.

Just get rid of it for crying out loud.

Yet again One America News brings us information, and news which the the outlets will not.
Thank you One America news, and if you do not have it then it is worth while getting it.
