Obama’s Muslim Prayer Curtains Were Real, Our Textile Analyst Confirms, and Fourteen Years of Fact-Checks Have Never Once Produced the Invoice

The textile analyst this paper retained compared the pleats and found that the gold hanging in the disputed frame — the one your uncle captioned “Obama’s Muslim prayer curtains” — is not the East Room curtain, and no federal office will produce the invoice for whatever it is.
