Hillbilly hypocrite JD Vontz bleating to the sheep in Maine: ""When the officers approached the person they were trying to arrest, that person, like, broke away from the scene, and what at least the law enforcement officers argue is that person posed a danger to the community.

Some evacuees say they have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for basic living expenses. The Washington Post reported last week that top Pentagon officials are reconsidering the U.S. military presence in the region, including whether to pull back troops from the largest bases in the Persian Gulf.
