Well, it would be one way to not have to go begging for money again, right?  A while ago, we heard that the Belknap County Sheriff’s office was begging additional monies from the towns that it was serving for dispatch services (emphasis mine, reformatted):

TOWNS PROTEST BELKNAP COUNTY IDEA TO ASSESS FEES FOR DISPATCH SERVICE

As Belknap County considers assessing a fee to the towns for which it provides police dispatch services, the towns are pushing back, particularly when it comes to calls for a total elimination of the service. Belknap County Sheriff Michael Moyer said there’s “no fact to the rumor that it’ll be shut down completely,” but he said he is looking into charging a fee to the towns that rely on county dispatch. “A lot of counties do charge,” he said.
The sheriff was quick to add that he believes the best option is the status quo, where county taxes pay for the dispatch service.

Ayup.  If you can’t get it one way (taxes), then charge it.

I am still shaking my head over this piece in the Union Leader – Jeanne Shaheen agrees with me??? Emphasis mine, reformatted:

A sweet idea: Shaheen attacks sugar subsidies

Give Sen. Jeanne Shaheen points for persistence. Her Senate colleagues have shown little appetite for eliminating subsidies to the sugar industry, but she keeps trying.  Shaheen has once again joined with Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey to introduce legislation cutting back the complicated and costly federal programs that not only drain the federal treasury, but provide incentives to pump high fructose corn syrup into our food.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

Experts have been saying things for years that have turned out to be false but only recently have they demanded millions in taxpayer dollars (year after year) and an unimpeachable devotion to the scientism of the Climate Cult, despite them and their models being wrong about everything.

With that in mind, we remind you that as 2018 approaches that “experts” –including well-heeled perennial chicken-little James Hansen of NASA–predicted the end of the Arctic Ice Cap (again), and massive floods in Manhattan by 2018. And since we’re on the subject, the UN (which has lots of experts) told us the Maldives would be underwater by 2018 which is six weeks, give or take.

No, not US Senator Diane Feinstein (who famously said),

“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up [every gun]… … Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in. I would have done that.”

This time, however, it is Progressive Boston Globe columnist David Scharfenberg who openly and plainly says what most Statist Democrats tiptoe up to but never jump into the deep end (full piece after the jump).

The Washington Post dropped a hit-piece last week, but it’s starting to look like the Washington Post is the one who took the hit.

During a segment that aired on Friday’s broadcast of Birmingham, AL ABC affiliate WBMA 33/40’s 5 p.m. local news, political reporter Lauren Walsh sought out voters in Columbiana, AL to gauge their reactions to the Washington Post report that alleged Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Roy Moore engaged in inappropriate conduct with four teenage girls more than 34 years ago.

None of the respondents according to Walsh told her they believed the Post’s reporting.

There has been no change in the current policy regarding the anthem. The agenda will be a continuation of how to make progress on the important social issues that players have vocalized. Everyone who is part of our NFL community has a tremendous respect for our country, our flag, our anthem and our military, and we are coming together to deal with these issues in a civil and constructive way (NFL).

This morning, Garland Bernie Peer told the citizens of Raymond they are literally laughed at when the cameras are off because they dare to question elected and appointed town officials. The exchange happened on a public Facebook page of a Raymond Citizens’ group that seeks to hold officials accountable.

I was at the 603 Alliance dinner the other night when Steve Bannon was the keynote speaker. It was rewarding to see him open up his phone and announce the number of out-of-state voters who tipped the 2016 NH General Election in favor of Crooked Hillary.

He hit the number right on, 6,540 voters established their right to vote in NH by using out of state drivers licenses as identification. Using an out of state license as identification means you are a resident of that state – until you establish a legal domicile here. To date, 5,500 people from other states have yet to change their address to NH. That makes them non-domiciled voters. See: Newburger v. Peterson, NH Supra 1972.

I guess they all quit driving on November 9, 2016.

Maybe it’s just me, but the recent accusations against Alabama US Senate candidate Roy Moore are four weeks out from the election Dec. 12. That is a long time in which evidence of criminal behavior from almost 40 years ago can be reviewed by voters.

If this is a hit job by the Bezos Post, as I think it might be, it could explode in the faces of the Republicans calling for Moore’s head.

I hope so.

The Liberals are losing their minds over Steve Bannon’s visit to New Hampshire, and between calling everyone white supremacists and ignoring their own hate, the sharpest thorn in their paw (at the moment) are his widely (only partially) reported remarks about voter integrity in the Granite State.

The actual remarks are only about three minutes long but the media still managed to cherry pick the details. Thankfully, we’ve got the full audio and video, and we can share his complete remarks.
