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.

1-WTC Tops Out
Here’s an awesome video of workers installing the final section of the spire atop One World Trade Center – a.k.a. the “Freedom Tower.” With the addition of this final section of the building’s 408-foot spire, 1-WTC has reached its symbolic height of 1,776 feet – making it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and [...]
