Lynch to shut Manchester Airport down May 11th? Dems play Chicken with DHS

Lynch suggests bus no-fly

Since the Democrat Governor Lynch, with backing from the Democrat controlled legislature have decided to play chicken with the Dept. of Homeland Security over the real ID drivers license issue, anyone wishing to fly after May 11th may be well advised to go to Mass. or VT and lie about where they live to get a license there. Now they could I suppose - get a passport, but those take months to process and would probably not be issued in time.

Now I did see that Homeland Security has seen the error of requiring passports for travel to and from Canada and has persuaded the dept. of State to issue something called a passport card, but that will not help on several accounts. First, it seems to get one you must also have a regular passport. Second, it will probably take longer to get one of them than a regular passport (the passport people say that if you apply for both at the same time they will send the real one first and not wait for the card to be issued). Third, the new passport card is specifically not valid for air travel.

So, will this fiasco by the NH Democrats cause the thriving Manchester Airport to shut down or just clog with interminable delays in processing travelers who do not have a “proper” id through security?

Or will Senators Gregg and Sununu have to go to bat with the Administration to save the people of NH from Lynch and his Dems’ folly? Certainly neither of the Moonbats who represent us in Congress will have the clout to do anything productive, but then why should they start being productive now?
