Opinion by George McClellan: Expect Obama to try every stratagem, trick, threat, or hollow promise that allows him to make a signature appointment of another leftist hack to fill the now vacant seat of Antonin Scalia, Supreme Court Justice, recently deceased.

Opinion by George McClellan: Obama’s early February visit to the ISIS Mosque in Baltimore, and the asinine remarks he made in the wake of that visit proclaiming Islam to be a religion of peace, but under attack by Christians, are acts by Obama setting the scene for the coming Marshal Law event he intends to […]
