The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office announced on Wednesday that a drug dealer who sells drugs to someone that results in an overdose death will face felony second-degree murder charges. This is intended to discourage dealers from selling heroin and other dangerous drugs.

Wreaths Across America lays wreaths on Kent Island
They travel in a convoy to bring attention to their mission, and Friday they came through Maryland on their way to Washington.
Twenty-four cemeteries on foreign soil will take part in this as well.
Their mission is to honor those who served, remember those who gave their lives and to educate children about the cost and value of freedom. They got that message across Friday.

North Carolina First Grader Dragged A MILE By School Bus After Driver Closed Door On Her Arm
Many parents in America entrust their children to the care of others. Teachers, babysitters and bus drivers are all entrusted with this responsibility. However, one bus driver shows that that trust can be misplaced after he discovered that he had accidentally closed the bus’ door on the arm of a little girl and then dragged her for a mile.
A first grader was dragged for almost a mile down the road by a school bus after the driver accidentally closed the door on her arm.
The substitute driver only realized Chelsea Klepzig was trapped in the door when he arrived at the next stop in Forsyth County, North Carolina.
Incredibly, the six-year-old escaped with only minor injuries – despite being carried by the bus for the best part of a mile.
But her sneakers, which were ripped apart as her feet dragged on the ground, show what a lucky escape the first grader had.
The driver has now been suspended without pay as school officials decide whether to fire him.
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools said in a statement they are ‘so thankful the student is OK and it was not worse.’
Little Chelsea had been returning home from Union Cross Elementary School on Monday afternoon when the horrific accident occurred.
Her grandmother was waiting at the Stonington Way Court bus stop, in Kernersville, to collect her, when the door closed on her granddaughter’s arm as she went to get off.
Horrified Estrella Klepzig chased after the bus in her car as Chelsea desperately clung on to the side with her feet and legs dragging on the ground.
‘I had to follow him,’ she told Fox 8. ‘I kept flashing him to stop, stop because I didn’t see her feet anymore. [He] didn’t even give her a chance to move. She was still in the door.’

Police: Maryland Man Had Plans To Attack Government Offices
Anne Arundel County police spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure says officers arrested 56-year-old Kirk Green on Saturday after he caused a disturbance at a grocery store. Frashure says officers later found guns, ammunition and plans to attack government agencies inside his vehicle at his Edgewater home.
Police say Green had circled locations on a map and had written in a journal that he planned to “take back the land.”

Woman Faces Jail Time For Leaving Dog At The Mercy Of Fleas Who Drained His Blood
There is a special place in hell for those who needlessly and callously torture animals. One Virginia woman did not torture her dog, per se, but instead, allowed the dog to be drained of his blood by fleas that sucked him dry. Now, because of her treatment of the poor pooch, the woman is facing jail time.
A Virginia woman has been sentenced to six months in jail after she left her dog tied up outside, allowing it to be slowly and painfully killed by fleas in what police are calling one of the worst cases of animal abuse they’ve ever seen.
Josefina Baldera Soils was convicted on a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge stemming from an incident on September 9 when a neighbor found her mixed-breed dog, Golden, tethered to his kennel outside in the rain and wailing in pain.
Amanda Hios, who lives at the Country Aire trailer park in Prince George’s County, said Solis’ pet was crying for at least eight hours that day.
When she went outside the check on him, she found the animal huddled under his dog house and crawling with thousands of fleas.
‘I had never heard an animal so sad in my life,’ Hios told the station WTVR.
Hios summoned an animal control officer, who was also taken aback by the state of the dog.
‘It was an astonishing amount of fleas on the dog,’ Prince George County Animal Control supervisor Job Greene said.
The dog appeared listless, was having difficulty breathing and was too weak to lift his head off the ground.
Golden was rushed to a veterinary clinic but died en route from blood loss.

How A Conservative Congressman Ended Up On The Terrorist No-Fly List
Republican Rep. Tom McClintock of Elk Grove, a liberty-minded conservative and staunch defender of gun rights, took to the House floor Thursday to warn the nation about the perils of strict firearms legislation, offering that “the most effective defense against an armed terrorist is an armed American.”
McClintock, delivering his remarks as many lawmakers across the country seized on the recent mass shooting in San Bernardino to renew their push for tougher laws, said that if just one person in the room had been able to return fire, “many innocent lives could have been saved.”
“But Californians are subject to the most restrictive gun laws in the country, making it very difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment right to defend themselves,” he said. “And in a society denied its right of self-defense, the gunman is king.”

Landfill commercialization could return to Worcester
Primarily, that would be a significant loss of income and the loss of the ability to gain new income, until, perhaps, now.
The division has three parts: the central landfill in Newark, recycling and the homeowner convenience centers. The central landfill is making money, Public Works Director John Tustin said this week. The other two aren’t, to the tune of about $1.5 million annually, he said.
The county commissioners expressed interest in ideas to help close the gap earlier this year.

PROOF Liberals Are LYING About The ‘Mass Shooting Tracker’
GunsAreCool/Reddit has apparently become the go-to source for mass shooting statistics, but is their information accurate?
Hardball with Chris Matthews, The Daily Show and WaPo have all cited the “mass shooting tracker” featured on Reddit’s GunsAreCool forum which says America has seen somewhere in the neighborhood of 353 mass shootings in 2015 alone.
Mere seconds of investigation into this “tracker” proves otherwise.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation defines a “mass shooting” as an event in which four or more individuals are killed as a result of a shooting. This excludes the shooter, which GunsAreCool includes in their “tracker”
Going by that definition, are Reddit’s statistics accurate?
Not by a long shot. Let’s take a look at the first seven “mass shootings” recorded by this “tracker.”

This Could Be Fate of Tashfeen Malik if No One Will Do Burial — and It’s Strictly Forbidden by Islam
Cremation is forbidden for Muslims and Islam requires the body of the deceased be washed and shrouded prior to the funeral. A funeral prayer then precedes the burial. The body of the individual is finally laid to rest on his or her right side, facing the direction of Mecca.
But, Malik doesn’t seem likely to get that treatment. Sources told Fox News that Muslim leaders want nothing to do with her funeral and that her body remains unclaimed.
“No one wants to claim her and no one wants to do the funeral,” a “well-placed source” within the Muslim community told Fox News. “They are all waiting for someone else to be the one to take care of this part of it.”

'Disrespectful' American flag photo banned from yearbook
But the school says that’s not the reason they won’t include it.
Lisa Traux said her daughter’s employer bought a page in her yearbook to congratulate her on her hard work, but when school officials saw the photo of Morgan Truax, 18, showing her patriotism, they told her they were uncomfortable with the American flag in the background.
“Does anyone find this photo offensive? Apparently, Foxborough High School finds it offensive,” Lisa Truax’s post said. “They won’t allow the picture in the yearbook, because it’s the American flag. We are American! We live in America! OMG, what is this country coming to?”

Boardwalkin’ in December brings different view of OC
The rides are closed, the pier is closed and many of the shops and restaurants are closed. But some are open and continue, as they have in the past, to have different reasons for that. Not all are to serve the public at present, but as Internet commerce begins to find a handhold in the region and next summer is always just around the corner, some businesses are taking the time to prepare, to plan and even to relax themselves.
For example, the arcades are open, usually. Marty’s Playland keeps a skeleton crew aboard and is open nearly every day this month. Sportland opens too, but keeps a less formal schedule.
“Every quarter dropped hits a wire, so eventually those wires need to be replaced,” Playland supervisor Jeff Jankowski said. “We don’t do a lot of business every day, but it’s usually enough to pay the electric bill.”

Our Duty as American Muslims
We are the only ones who can lead a winning fight against the radicalism crippling our faith.
After San Bernardino, American Muslims have to come to terms with an ever more apparent truth: that we, and our mainstream Muslim brethren, are the only ones who can lead a winning fight against the radicalism crippling our faith.
What’s most troubling about the San Bernardino massacre is that Syed Farook seemed to have been, by almost all accounts, an ordinary American. He was an educated and employed 28-year-old first-generation citizen, born to Pakistani immigrants.
Like many Americans, I have a similar background, which makes the attack all the more concerning. It seems unthinkable that someone in such a position could be susceptible to radicalization. Yet we have seen this happen time and again, particularly among younger Muslims in the Middle East, Europe and now America.

Scientific Effort Aiming To Confirm Climate Change Has Local Roots
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va – James Yungel has been flying the same stretch of Greenland since 1993 when scientists started to hear about a trend some were calling “global warming.”
Yungel is the Program Manager for Wallops Island Remote Sensing Team and he says the mission in the early years was to determine whether Greenland’s glaciers were losing ice and snow, or in scientific terms, mass balance.
Yungel says you only have to look at the Jacobshavn, which is Greenland’s largest glacier, to see that the mass balance of the ice is overwhelmingly negative.
“The ice and the front edge of that glacier have moved seven miles,” said Yungel. “You can really see the depression in the ice and that noticeable difference is something we’ve been seeing over the past 20 years.”

The Fox In The Hen House
The Veterans Affairs Department says it’s no longer routinely placing employees accused of misconduct on paid administrative leave, but on detail to another area in the department instead. Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson said the VA is also conducting its own disciplinary investigations separate from the inspector general. He told the House Veterans Affairs Committee the IG disciplinary reviews take too long and cost too much.
