Eager to insulate U.S. President Barack Obama against the fallout from multiple scandals (IRS, USDOJ and Benghazi), one of his top former advisors is offering up an interesting excuse.

Hugh Leatherman’s Office Protested
From the “people are starting to get it” file, a group of protestors recently picketed the Pee Dee real estate office of powerful S.C. Senate finance chairman Hugh Leatherman (RINO-Florence).

Hello, Collin Julia
Earlier this month we picked up on Camden, S.C. native Sallie Pierce’s bid to become a member of the world famous Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleading squad.
What did we neglect to point out at the time? That the Palmetto State is already represented on this illustrious squad – by Greenville, S.C. native Collin Julia. The registered nurse [...]
