“I was a homely kid with freckles that came out every spring and stuck on me ‘til Christmas. I was glamorous because of magicians like George J. Folsey, James Wong Howe, Oliver Marsh, Ray June, and all those other great cinematographers. I trusted those men and the other experts who made us beautiful.

Pop quiz:

Why isn’t the Justice Department investigating the Clinton money laundering operation? Any other so-called charity would be under multiple federal and state indictments.

Hillary Clinton had her own private server when she was Secretary of State. This is indefensible. She destroyed 30,000 emails?

Why does the media continue to give Barack Obama a pass on the bloodbath he has created in the Middle East by withdrawing our troops?

And how is it that the Mayor and District Attorney of Baltimore still have their jobs when they are obviously incompetent race hustlers?

Answer: Democrat privilege; whereby Democrats thrive in a moral and legal cesspool that would destroy a Republican.

Some photos to relieve the corruption and squalor which is the operating principle of the postmodern Democrat party.
