Local Road Condition Update
Former Iranian President Rafsanjani is dead at 82
Iranian state media reported Sunday that Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Iran's former president, is dead at 82.
Rafsanjani was president of Iran from 1989 to 1997. But whether as president or in other roles, Rafsanjani has been one of the most powerful figures Iran for more than three and a half decades, since the toppling of the former Shah of Iran in 1979. He helped steer the country's military during the Iran-Iraq War and was known as a kingmaker in Iranian politics. Rafsanjani e Hassan Rouhani
Rafsanjani's has been in a strong position in recent years since the election as president in 2013 of his protege, Hassan Rouhani.
Rafsanjani had a reputation as a relative "moderate" among Iranian leaders, supporting market reforms that transferred power from the government to the private sector.

Dems renew demand for slavery reparations
Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has proposed the bill in each Congress for at least the last two decades.
A description of the bill said the legislation would set up a commission to both examine the possibility of reparations, but also an apology for the "racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans."

Megyn Kelly Is Said to Be Leaving Fox News for NBC
The NBC News chairman, Andrew Lack, wooed Ms. Kelly away from Fox News by offering her a triple role in which she will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and take regular part in the network’s special political programming and other big-event coverage.
The move will herald a seismic shift in the cable news landscape, where Ms. Kelly had become the second-most watched host — after Bill O’Reilly of Fox News — and often helped define the national political debate, especially over the last year as Donald J. Trump regularly attacked her, at times in viciously personal terms.

If It Walks Like A Duck...
Keep this old adage in mind: If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck; have feathers like a duck; eat like a duck and lay eggs like a duck there is a very high probability that you're a duck! Mike Gallagher, the 8th most recognized talk radio personality in the country, is heard by over 2.25 million listeners weekly. He compiled and wrote the following essay entitled,
"Obama: It was You."
President Obama:
This is why you didn't go to France to show solidarity against the Muslim terrorists:
* It was you . . . who spoke these words at an Islamic dinner -"I am one of you."
* It was you . . . who on ABC News referenced -"My Muslim faith ."
* It was you who . . . gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
* It was you who . . . wrote that in the event of a conflict-"I will stand with the Muslims ."
* It was you who . . . assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that -"I am a Muslim ."
* It was you who . . . bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
* It was you who . . . sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.
* It was you who . . . exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.

$73,000 To Move Phone Lines?
Just thought I would share with you some of the shenanigans that Verizon is trying to pull with the fire company. As many of you know, we are in the process of trying to get our new fire station built. Permits, permits and more permits have caused the delay for the most part but here is the real kicker...............Verizon wants to charge the fire company $73,000 to move the lines from one side of the street to the other. YES, $73,000 bucks!! Verizon has a monopoly in this area and there is no other company that we know of that can do this. We are open for carnival 16 nights out of 365 nights. Between that and pony penning is how we make our money to purchase $500k fire trucks and $200k ambulances not to mention all the items that are needed to stock those vehicles. Turn out gear per firefighter cost around $2k per, stretcers in the ambulance cost $14k, yes, $14k, radios and pagers per volunteer cost $1,200 and then there is insurance, power bills etc...............Where does Verizon come up with these figures to charge a 5013c non profit organization that much money to literally move lines less than 75 yards? Please share this with everyone so they can see how Verizon is raping the consumer. This is awful!!

'We Cannot Allow Our Democracy ‘To Be Subverted by the Dark Operations of a Foreign Regime’
"..our responsibility is also to secure our democracy. Our founders pledged their sacred honor to create a democracy, a government of the many, not a government of the money. Now our sacred trust is to keep that covenant. We cannot permit our democracy to be suborned by the checkbooks of the powerful or be subverted by the dark operations of a foreign regime."

According to Express, our President has just ordered special forces to what is essentially Russia’s front door. I don’t see this ending badly at all.

She added: “US Special Operations Forces presence in Lithuania is one of the deterrents” against threats from Moscow.

Once Lucas believed he had the room where she was, he began banging loudly on the door to the room asking for the female. The incident culminated with Lucas forcing the door open and finding the female who was hiding in the bathroom. Upon encountering her, Lucas choked her and slammed her head into the tile on wall before leaving.

Snow Hill Fire seeks add’l station
“We’re going to be answering questions — we’ve received 20 letter this week in support of the effort, and asking questions about the proposal,” Chief Trey Heiser said.
Call volume to the company doubled during the flooding, while access to its response area was halved because of the washout at Snow Hill Road, which took about a month to reopen to traffic. The fire company used an unorthodox, but familiar, tactic for members to serve the area despite limited access.

John McCain Hangs Out with Old Pal George Soros in Switzerland
McCain met for a long and friendly conversation with none other than George Soros, the primary funder of the most far-left outfits pushing illegal alien amnesty, ObamaCare, Common Core indoctrination, and suppression of gun rights in America.
McCain’s support for amnesty for tens for millions of illegal aliens was a key motivator for Arizona Republicans to censure him in an unprecedented rebuke. Soros is a principal funder of the Center for American Progress and National Council of La Raza (“The Race”) — the largest non-profits on the left pushing for amnesty.
Soros was also the first and largest single contributor to Barack Obama’s campaign in 2007, driving tens of millions into his coffers in an effort to defeat then-“shoo-in” Hillary Clinton, who Soros deemed not “radical enough”. Soros has been called “The Man Who Made Obama”.
McCain and Soros also have disturbing past relationship:
In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.
McCain used the institute to promote his political agenda and provide compensation to key campaign operatives between elections — until he was forced to sever ties with the Reform Institute after controversial contributions came to light.

THIS IS HUGE! NATIONAL Conceal Carry Reciprocity Is OFFICIALLY In The Works!
Not every state has identical laws when it comes to the Second Amendment and concealed carry, despite a concealed carry permit being a legitimate legal document.
Starting today, however, we have hope that national concealed carry reciprocity will soon be the law of the land, allowing you to concealed carry in any state in the nation that also allows concealed carry, provided you follow the laws of that state.
From The Federalist Papers Project:
Yesterday was a big opening day for the 115th Congress. Sen. Ted Cruz made good on his word to introduce an amendment regarding Congressional term limits, and now Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) introduced a huge piece of legislation: national concealed carry reciprocity.
Hudson’s office released a summary of the groundbreaking legislation:
Rep. Hudson’s bill, which is supported by major pro-Second Amendment groups, would allow people with a state-issued concealed carry license or permit to conceal a handgun in any other state that allows concealed carry, as long as the permit holder follows the laws of that state. It also allows residents of Constitutional carry states the ability to carry in other states that recognize their own resident’s right to concealed carry.

A Viewer Writes: Fake News Via Omission
As a mini-personal experiment, I checked the major news sites several times today to see how they spun the atrocious hate crime on the poor mentally-challenged white man by the four blacks in Chicago. Very few were mentioning that the perpetrators were black. Very few were mentioning the victim was white. MSNBC and ABC doesn’t even show it in the top news stories. All but Fox were downplaying the entire event. Unbelievable! Imagine if it was a cop or 4 whites beating a black man!! We would see banner planes blaming Trump. Jesse and Al would be there right away on their private jets. This is another example of the MSM bias – not only by reporting their polarized views- but by NOT reporting a major story that would dispel the beliefs of their liberal supporters, by not allowing them to see a video portraying a hate crime by blacks. This is not by accident. It is a choice by the liberal editors to let you see what they want you to see.
And on the sites that did allow me to see the video, the “N” word was bleeped out along with the other explicatives, so as not to offend their liberal viewers with the word ‘nigger’. These were blacks using the word “nigger” yet they tell us that is offensive to them. I’m confused.
Thank God for sites like yours that allow us to see the news UNFILTERED. It’s funny how your site seems right leaning, only because it’s just unfiltered news, without the liberal bias. It seems strange to read news without the bias- kind of like putting your shirt on backwards.
So, when I see “Officer resigns after video shows him punching woman” or “Pot group to give Free Joints on Inauguration Day” as “TOP STORIES” on ABC and NOT showing this story that was talked about by millions, it is PROOF that the bias is there. Even the snowflakes cannot deny it.
January 20, 2017 cannon come soon enough.
Happy New Year!

GOP Rep Introduces National Concealed Carry Reciprocity On Day One of New Congress
Hudson’s office published this summary of the legislation:
Rep. Hudson’s bill, which is supported by major pro-Second Amendment groups, would allow people with a state-issued concealed carry license or permit to conceal a handgun in any other state that allows concealed carry, as long as the permit holder follows the laws of that state. It also allows residents of Constitutional carry states the ability to carry in other states that recognize their own resident’s right to concealed carry.
Note: Hudson’s legislation not only establishes national reciprocity for concealed permit holders but also national reciprocity for residents who live in states that require no permit for concealed carry. In the former situation the concealed carry permit of any state would be valid in every state and the “identification document” in possession of a resident of a constitutional carry state would serve as a permit to carry without a license in other states.

Alabama Band to March at Inauguration, Igniting Controversy
Talladega College’s band will march at Trump’s inauguration as other historically black schools such as Howard University, which performed at President Barack Obama’s first inaugural parade, said they won’t be marching in the Jan. 20 event.
“We were a bit horrified to hear of the invitation,” said Shirley Ferrill of Fairfield, Alabama, a member of Talladega’s Class of 1974.
“I don’t want my alma mater to give the appearance of supporting him,” Ferrill said of Trump on Monday. “Ignore, decline or whatever, but please don’t send our band out in our name to do that.”

Mariah Carey’s New Year’s MELTDOWN On Times Square Stage Sets The Internet ON FIRE!
The diva couldn’t help but storm off the stage in New York’s Times Square during the New Year’s Eve telecast on ABC after what seemed like a technical issue from the 80’s came roaring back – the wrong lip-synced track played during her performance.
Carey appeared more than perturbed and right on the edge of tears as she refused to sing some lines of her songs. She stormed around the stage, asking for the monitors over and over again to be turned on during her performance, before attempting to salvage any last bit of her set by dancing briefly.
However, she just couldn’t make that last long and ended up saying into her microphone: ‘I’m trying to be a good sport here.’
