George Soros Suffers ‘Massive Heart Attack’ On Christmas


Fake news. Has not happened, at least, has not been verified.

Appears to be an annual hoax.

Which, if we’re being precise, is British sovereign soil.

Obama would have told Harvey Weinstein to get production on the movie stopped.

Obama would have loaned his fake Roman columns to Hitler. All about illusion and demagogery.

Obama’s fascist minions are continuing his work. Be Prepared.

Definitely. Obastard needed a lot of help to destroy this country, and they are still embedded.

“”returned it to Britain””.

“it did return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to British diplomats””

After all this time you would think writers would get it right. There was never a lack of things to criticize about obozo or his administration so that yarn about the bust of Churchill being returned to Britain was totally unnecessary. It was cleared up not long after that story ran that the bust was at the GB embassy in DC....

Trump could start by firing every Obama appointee in the Executive branch. Better late than never. The swamp would drain instantly. Hasn’t happened.

I may have time to redeem myself before the year ends but it looks like I’ll fail. I didn’t read the replies when I posted my own about the article being wrong...For some reason it’s always annoyed me that writers preferred their version of events and not the truth regarding this subject of the Churchill bust. I will again vow for 2018 that I will not post a reply until I’ve read the other replies..
As I just posted we never ran out of things to criticize obozo for so complaining about that particular one could have been ignored.

If the reports weren’t deliberately meant to deceive the public, they would have reported the bust was sent to the British Embassy in DC. No one did that, did they?

So are you saying that Obama did NOT want the bust removed from his presence, and had no animus toward Churchill? Because as others have pointed out the Britush embassy is considered foreign soil and I can see no other interpretation than that this move was an insult to Great Britain.

Where the former Barry Soetoro proved the most militant was weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department into a transition team for his designated successor Hillary Clinton. When she lost, the corrupt FBI and Justice Department

The schadenfreude is almost unbearable!

the bust was at the GB embassy in DC
. . . which is to say, it was in British territory.

That should have been completed by March-April of 2017 at latest. That’s my strongest criticism of President Trump, too slow removing enemies.

OK, let us see if we can straighten out some twisted facts here. The below is a picture of the Sir Jacob Epstein 1947 bust of Sir Winston Churchill, of which there were no more than 16 original castings made.

In 1965, a group of US Citizens, who were war-time colleagues of Churchill, donated one of these castings to the White House, it was the one seen in the area of the "Treaty Room". In the time following the horror of 09/11/01, that casting (apparently) was being restored and the Government of the UK 'loaned' one of their castings and President Bush (43) gave it a place of honor in the Oval Office. After the restoration, the White House owned casting was returned to its place near the Treaty Room while the loaned casting remained in the Oval Office.

Following President Obama's Inauguration in 2009, the loaned casting was returned to the UK Government custody and stayed at the UK Embassy. Whether this was at the President's desire or the UK Government is left ambiguous by the relevant officials. The White House Spokesman, Dan Pheiffer, in 2012, emphatically called the removal of the Churchill Bust a lie by pointing out the presence of the original 1965 casting at the Treaty Room.

Now, after a request from the new US President Donald Trump to the UK Prime Minister Theresa May, the previously loaned UK-owned casting was again loaned to the White House and put in the Oval Office. So the 1965 WH owned bust is where it has been for years, outside the Treaty Room, and the UK-owned bust is in the Oval Office. It should be remembered that Sir Winston Churchill, the son of an American-born mother, Jennie Jerome, was the first person to be awarded a honorary US Citizenship (1963).

Nailed it. I’m still shocked this nation elected a muslim; especially 7 years after they knocked down to cherished building that were also landmarks in America. They hit us hard and below the belt then the idiot left and far too many moderate independents voted that hateful Un-American vile creature into WH knowing next to nothing about him with his sealed documents that proved he had a lot to hide.

I would really like to see those document unsealed. I bet we would find out he committed a felony by claiming to be a foreign student getting preferential treatment by being admitted to Ivy colleges as a token Affirmative Action enrollee to get the quota numbers up. Obola is not more than a C- student on his best day and he’s as dumb as a rock who could barely speak in public without a teleprompter telling him exactly what to say. He didn’t even know what he was saying but he was good at reading aloud.

Truly unreal how this country got scammed by such a shyster but he did have a lot of help making him the ultimate Post Turtle. You know that turtle laying on top of a post shouldn’t be there so it had to have help getting there but then had no idea what to do when up there so it did what it was told by his handler; ValJar.

“”So are you saying that Obama did NOT want the bust removed from his presence””

Did I say that? What I said was it could just as easily have been written that the bust was removed to their embassy in the US and people could have avoided for over 8 years saying it was sent to Great Britain but then it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun as repeating it over and over erroneously, would it? There was enough to find fault with about that jerk without that. And yes, it is nit picking to say - well, it’s the same thing - Great Britain or their embassy... I guess someone could say “I’m going to GB” and we could conclude they might be going to the GB embassy.

“”which is to say, it was in British territory.””

Which is the same as saying, “the bust was sent back to Great Britain”, right?
