We drop our guard for thee”
And the problem with this is?
I can't imagine a downside for our country with this trend. I did have fleeting feelings of pity for Canada. Then further on, I read they were fleeing to Quebec.
As part of the Trump Infrastructure Plan, a Bridge will be built from the Southern Border to the Northern Border.
The Bridge will have no Exits between its start and end points.
President Trump will be remembered for building a Bridge between two of our closest Allies.
I swear I read that story back in January.
They know killing Christians and Jews will be easier in Canada so they have packed up their beheading knives and gone north. Good stay there until you try it on the wrong Canadian.
