The Dutch Tulip Bubble of 1637
The later part of the 20th century saw its share of odd financial bubbles. There was the real-estate bubble, the stock market bubbles, and the dot com bubble, just to name a few. In each instance of price inflation people paid exorbitant amounts for things that shouldn’t have been worth anything like the going price. And each time people stood around afterwards and said “What were we thinking?”

One has to believe that the same thought occurred to the Dutch in the 17th century when they settled down after their bout with tulipomania, wherein the humble tulip bulb began to sell for prices to make New York Realtors blanch.

As much as the tulip is associated with Holland, it is not native there. Rather it was introduced in 1593 by a botanist named Carolus Clusius, who brought it from Constantinople. He planted a small garden, intending to research the plant for medicinal purposes. Had Clusius’s neighbors been morally upright, the tulip might still be a rare exotic in the gardening world. Instead they broke into his garden and stole some of his bulbs in order to make some quick money, and in the process started the Dutch bulb trade

More Interestin' Times  (wonder if this certificate is for real. )

WOW! BARACK’S BROTHER MALIK OBAMA Just Tweeted Obama’s Birth Certificate…And It’s Not From Hawaii  By 100% FED Up - Mar 9, 2017

Obama’s half-brother Malik just tweeted an image that’s allegedly Barack Obama’s birth certificate from a hospital in Mombassa, Kenya. The birth certificate shows he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961.

Malik made no secret of his support for Donald Trump during the campaign. In July 2016, Malik Obama proudly announced his support for Donald Trump, saying that he wanted to make America great again so he was voting for Trump.

“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” Malik Obama told The Post from his home in the rural village of Kogelo. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”

Obama, 58, a longtime Democrat, said his “deep disappointment” in his brother Barack’s administration has led him to recently switch allegiance to “the party of Lincoln.”

Obama and the Democrats have been working overtime to delegitimize Trump’s presidency. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Malik, an openly proud Trump supporter was the one who proved that Obama is the illegitimate president?

Well he did have a American mother and apparently an American Father he was just born out of . country which would still qualify him to be President.  HOWEVER providing fraudulent documents ie. a birth certificate from Hawaii is a prosecutable offence.   

Maybe Barrack did not treat him like a brother should. He probably treated him like someone who might derail his agenda.

Seems that this is probably a Fake - since it is in English, suspect it should be in Kenyan, but what the heck. My thoughts? What is the problem between the two brothers.  Oh well. That's their problem.

Official Languages of Kenya

English was inherited from Kenya's British colonial past. English is the language of choice in business, academics and social set-ups in Kenya.

The Obama's can fundamentally kiss my ass.

Now here is a Lady that hates RINO`s

If you think the wire tapping is a bunch of BS, Then look at this video

New evidence is coming to light that may change everything we know about how this great man died. The original autopsy found nothing strange in Justice Scalia’s blood, but a recent report from an independent lab that tests fluids that aren’t normally part of the typical autopsy process has concluded that a chemical found in foxglove, a deadly plant known to cause heart failure when ingested, was found in the spinal fluid and ocular fluid, or fluid of the eye.

I would not doubt it for a second.
