Opinion written by George McClellan: While the Democrats are in their self-loathing mode, wasting our time delaying Trumps Cabinet appointments, a few in the GOP now pretend they want to be Statesmen, as in seriously considering the possible negative affects of rooting out Obamacare and replacing it with an affordable free market plan that everybody […]

Opinion written by George McClellan: Clearly some judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are bereft of any understanding of Constitutional Law. It would be churlish to call them “Progressives” but, three Court of Appeal judges, collectively and laughingly agreed that the ‘opinion,’ not a ruling, but the opinion of a Federal District Court […]

But the press is going ballistic. They have become literally vituperative over the issue. Yates would have been gone anyway because, like the State Department […]
