“Thanks to that f*cking JFK pushing us to the brink——”


What do you think he should have done?

These people should take a bus trip on a mountainous road somewhere like Chile, Peru, India, Nepal, Pakistan or even Thailand.(I had to get Thailand in there.) Builds character and prepares one to meet his maker.

40 years ago in Thailand, my wife and I took a local bus over the mountains to Chang Mai on our honeymoon trip. No guard rails, steep slopes, shocks and suspension completely shot. Driver used both sides of the 2-lane road. In the middle of curves where there were memorials to those who’d perished before, the driver would let go of the steering wheel lift his hands as though in prayer. The Thai monks in the back weren’t at all bothered - they were probably riding for free and get reborn anyway. I was freaked out.

We used to call the buses “orange crush” because they were orange and often seen in roadside junkyards with the front half completely smashed like an accordion.

There’s at least one road in Arizona that’s scary as hell. 2-lane, cut in the side of a cliff, no shoulder and nowhere to go except about 300 feet down. Scary as hell. I passed a spot where two vehicles had a head-on just prior. Huge burn spot, many casualties because neither driver wanted to go over the cliff.

Remember it well. Clinton transferred tech and tech help to China via Loral corp. Second stage separation and reentry advice and who knows how many boatloads of cash were provided. My 10 yr old son confronted Sen Tommy Harkin about Clinton. I am sure the old senator did not expect tough questions. I do not think he answered. Just shooed my son away.

This aiding and abetting our enemy has been a long established policy of the democrappers.

Never let Castro take over Cuba in the first place would have been a a great start.

You can’t blame JFK for that.

I find it impossible to believe that many people aren’t livid over this fake missle warning. I’ll be shocked if no one raises legal hell over it.

I really don’t think many locals freaked out cause the sirens didn’t go off, was only a cell phone alert.

Of course, Kim doesn’t need a re-entry vehicle. He just ships it over on a barge and sends it to the beach, while twittering his threats. The MSM would still claim it was a ballistic missile.

It’s tough on atheist Democrats when they think they are going to die from a missile sent by a Communist dictator.

You must not have one. I use mine everywhere. It has a great camera, and I take pictures with mine on vacation.

hubby and I had talked about stocking up on supplies. Extra water bottles in the laundry room is as far as we actually got

All these months/years and all she has is maybe a case of water bottles. Yet, she's all worried about her kids. Nope. Sorry. She doesn't give a rat's behind about the safety of her kids.
