She can give away as many millions as she wants. Good for her but I still say she is nutso and drove Brad Pitt crazy too. Fallen under her spell.

If she wants to bring tens of thousands of Muslim Syrian refugees here I am definitely against her. Then she is not so nice as far as I am concerned. Let the Muzz sort it out among themselves in their so called House of Peace (Dar al Salam)

They call us Dar Al Harb meaning house of war. Meaning they are making war and Jihad against us including immigration Jihad and demographic Jihad. Screw em!
