Barack Obama’s mysterious heritage continues to perplex even the smartest of contestants on “Jeopardy.”

On Wednesday night’s episode, in the category titled, “Our nation of immigration,” a photo of Barack Obama was displayed, with host Ken Jennings reading the clue:

“Famous Americans of this heritage include Barack Obama, seen here on a visit to the old country.”

The returning champion, Kat Jepson, an artist originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, responded: “What is Kenya?”

Jennings ruled her incorrect, even though many Americans may sympathize with that answer, since Obama’s birthplace and precise family heritage have long been matters of controversy.

Neither of the two other contestants, Ben Chan nor Laura Caton, proffered a guess.

Jennings explained the “correct” response, saying: “You can see the flag, he’s actually in Ireland.”

“Although I don’t believe there’s an apostrophe in Obama,” he quipped.

At least one Twitter user complained about the incident, saying, “@Jeopardy Can you start taking away extra points for racist snafus like Kat’s mixup of ‘Kenya’ and ‘Ireland’ on the clue about Obama today? She at least should have defaulted to third place just for that, but I would’ve been happy to eliminate her in the middle of the round.”

Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

EDITOR’S NOTE: Question: Why do the political and corporate leaders of America – long the freest, most successful, most prosperous and most Christian nation in history – bow and scrape before China, a ruthless, communist, totalitarian and explicitly atheistic dictatorship openly committed to ruling the world, including America?

The astonishing answers come into focus only when one contemplates both the unprecedented level of political and financial corruption in America’s ruling class (multiple Biden family members received $31 million in payola from China), and simultaneously the communist Chinese government’s brilliantly devious methods of unconventional total warfare, by which China is stealthily infiltrating, subverting, corrupting and colonizing the United States of America.

The China threat has rarely been more dramatically or pointedly documented than in the sensational March issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOW CHINA IS CONQUERING AMERICA.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
