Barack Sierra.

Last couple of times anyone was intercepted doing this, WE had supplied the materials as part of a “sting”.

Trust NOTHING from the habitual liars in the Hussein-worshipping media.

Have no idea where Placentia is. How about putting the state abbreviation in parentheses after the title of the post, as is customary?
