This comes via Rush Limbaugh, who also detailed how Fort Dix was used as a refugee relocation camp for thousands of Kosovo refugees by the Clinton administration in the 90’s.

It’s a release week where I work, and it’s likely that I will be working some long hours and be traveling at the same time — so over the next week the posting here will be spotty. Don’t worry, barring death or dismemberment I will be here for the next decade or more. Thanks for your patience all.

Isn’t the sharing of information around the world wonderful?
