-Lurid Crime Tales-
CBS4 Investigation Finds People Voting Twice
[DENVER.CBSLOCAL] An ongoing CBS4 voter fraud investigation has uncovered a dozen cases where Coloradans are suspected of voting twice. Previous CBS4 Investigations revealed ballots cast in the names of Coloradans who had been dead for months‐ sometimes years- before votes were cast in their names.

In six of the new cases, voting records show the same people voting twice in Colorado elections. In another six cases, people are suspected of voting in Colorado and another state during the same election cycle.

You’d be surprised how often people double vote," said Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. "Two of the cases are serial double voters. I think people discover they can get away with it and keep doing it."
Lincoln Wilson, a registered Republican from Hale, in Northeast Colorado, is accused of voting in both Colorado and Kansas in 2010, 2012 and again in 2014. Wilson told CBS4 he voted in both states, but only "voted on local issues" and "didn’t vote twice for President."

Wilson is one of five Coloradans now charged by the State of Kansas for voting in both states.

Randall Killian pleaded guilty to voting in Douglas County, Colorado and Kansas in the 2012 presidential election. Ron Weems pleaded guilty to voting in Teller County, Colorado and Kansas in both 2012 and 2014. Both men were fined for their offenses.

Kansas has also charged James Criswell of Douglas County and Sharon Farris of Denver with double voting. Their cases have not been resolved yet.

"You’d be surprised how often people double vote," said Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. "Two of the cases are serial double voters. I think people discover they can get away with it and keep doing it."

Kobach says his office is "aggressively prosecuting" double voting cases because it’s a crime that "can’t be caught ahead of time."

Elections are only time Democrats believe in the resurrection.

#2  Let's play name that political party.
Only one voter is identified (as a Republican).
What are the parties of the other identified "voters" ?

#4  If the major universities in Arizona expelled students who double-voted their student bodies would be reduced by hundreds (perhaps even thousands).

Hillary Clinton’s E-Mail Server Company Got Almost $1 Million In Gov't Loans After Wiping E-Mails
[GotNews.com] Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server company got almost $1 million in government loans starting immediately after they were secretly asked to wipe Hillary Clinton’s name from her e-mails.

Platte River Networks (PRN) got a $493,000 loan from the Small Business Administration in August 2014 and another $350,000 loan in September 2015:

The first half-million dollar loan arrived not one month after PRN employee Paul Combetta was caught accidentally revealing his company was deleting evidence at Hillary’s request in July 2014.

The second $350,000 loan came about one year later.
You remember, don't you? We discussed the amazingly successful PRN and it's unsightly smell quite a few months back. Please keep digging.

#1  A radio talk show host said yesterday that he is switching to Trump because the media that supports Clinton needs to be destroyed.

I say that should extend to the Democratic party.

#2  Wiping emails? "You mean like with a cloth." We are still looking for the emails on yoga and Chelsea Hubbel-Clinton's wedding. It is difficult to find them amongst all the other emails that make Hillary look like a lying, cheating, thieving, corrupted-beyond-belief-crook.

#3  And this is only one of the reasons that people are voting for Trump. Even Michael Moore has said:
“Trump’s election is going to be the biggest ‘fuck you’ ever recorded in human history — and it will feel good,” Moore argued

Sean Hannity offers to charter plane for Champ to return to Kenya
[Wash Times] Sean Hannity is offering a one-way ticket out of the country for President Obama and his family.

"I have an offer for the president," the outspoken Donald Trump supporter said Tuesday on his eponymous radio show.

"I will charter a plane for you and your family," Mr. Hannity said. "I will make sure it's as big a plane as Air Force One, what you have grown accustomed to, in other words. Taxpayer-funded plane. I don't know where I'm going to get it. Maybe I'll ask Trump if I can charter his plane for Obama. I will charter Donald Trump's plane if he'll let me, and I will charter it to the country of your choice.

"You want to go to Canada? I'll pay for you to go to Canada," he continued. "You want to go to Kenya? I'll pay for you to go to Kenya. Jakarta, where you went to school back in the day, you can go back there. Anywhere you want to go. I'll put the finest food, caviar, champagne, you name it. I have one stipulation, you can't come back."

Mr. Hannity did not suggest during his broadcast that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya, the homeland of the president's father, but he has repeatedly entertained Donald Trump's long-running birther conspiracy concerning the president's origin of birth, Politico reported.

His offer came after White House press secretary Josh Earnest evaded a question Monday on whether the Obama

#2  Obama’s golf weekend with Tiger Woods cost taxpayers more than $3.6 million

Tugs at my heart strings, money well spent on recreation. I wonder what the late SGM Earl D. Woods would say ?

#4  That was quick. Somebody's political survival reflexes kicked in good and hard.

#5  Indeed - although I wonder who was so tone-deaf to the PR aspects as to even start the process in the first place. Didn't anyone have the slightest idea of how very bad it would look, clawing back the money ten years after the fact, after the soldiers had already held up their side of the bargain?
I doubt that the soldiers who have already made payments will be reimbursed, though. Pity, but the Big Green Military Machine will always have the last word.

#6  In America we never developed a system to identify standards and IMPLEMENT standards for Politicians who overstep the bounds of common decency.

Something like a "Reform through Labor" camp featuring working in a Mine in southern Arizona just north of the Pinacate Inferno and living in tents in a compound surrounded by razor wire and guard dogs about a hundred miles from the nearest road.
