The United States will give $419­ million more in humanitarian aid to assist Syrian refugees and the countries that are hosting them, administration officials said Monday.

The new aid brings the total U.S. donation since the Syrian conflict began in 2011 to $4.5 billion, more than any other country. It was announced a day after Secretary of State John F.

Obama has got to continue the invasion of Europe by Muslims with our money. The New World Order may be here quicker than we thought.

It’s better pay than they would get to fight their kindred muzzy scum that is attacking them. They may be be evil and dupes, but they know how to milk the cow.

As a former drunken sailor on shore leave, I take offense at that. I only took enough money on shore leave to get a meal and a good drunk and left the rest on the ship.

The whole concept of checks and balances has been destroyed. It appears that Obama can do anything he wants and the last 15 months of his second term will, therefore, be a full onslaught on the foundations of the US to either bring down the country totally or so weaken it that it will be conquered by alien invaders including thousands of Muslim terrorists with the rest wanting to impose Shariah law.

> Obama spends our money like a drunken sailor on shore leave.

And because of that man and his piss poor economic policies I’m almost destitute. May the favor be returned after he leaves office.
