A close friend called me 6 months ago & asked me to let her borrow $500.00 for a down payment on a car.I went to the dealership & let them run my debit card. She then returned the car, got the money back, and put it down on another car at another dealership.She told me in the dealership the day that I let her borrow the money that she would pay me back in 2 weeks.This conversation took place in front of the lady from the dealership, that I had referred her to ( I had bought a car from them previously).After she had not paid me the money back after numerous attempts of trying to get it back, I called the lady from the dealership & she said that she would testify against her in court if necessary.2 wks ago she said she had the money, went to pick it up and her husband said that they didn't have it & just gave excuses.Now my daughter has to have an MRI done & we really need the money,so I sent her an email.Now she says that she doesn't know what money I'm talking about. How do I prove it?

A woman in Texas, nearly 50 years ago attempted to drown her son. The boy did not die but did suffer severe brain damage. She was released on a temporary insanity plea. Due to the growing popularity of the brain damaged son some say she should be retried and executed for attempted murder. So, Should Barbera Bush get the chair?

A “concentrated crackdown” on illegal immigrants started Friday night in Maricopa County. Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced he’s dispatched more than 200 deputies and posse members to saturate valley cities and roadways known to be corridors for human smuggling.

East Valley hot spots include Bush Highway, U.S. Highway 60 and “any major highway,” said deputy chief Brian Sands.

Arpaio said he’s also opening a hotline for tipsters to report suspected illegal immigrants.

Arpaio said the program is comprehensive and controversial, but that it’s constitutional.

“We’re not going to go out on a street corner and round up people because they look like they’re from a foreign country,” Arpaio said Friday.

He said it’s nothing like Chandler’s infamous 1997 “roundup,” in which police officers swept the city in search of illegal immigrants.

He added that no one has complained about racial profiling since his deputies began detaining illegal immigrants.

Arpaio said his deputies have already arrested and jailed about 614 illegal immigrants on felony charges since the Arizona law against human smuggling passed in March 2006.

The deputies’ strategies for the crackdown aren’t necessarily different from those they’ve been using already to target immigrants who have likely employed a human smuggler to help them enter the country.

But they’ll have greater resources and more manpower with which to work.

Deputies will use SWAT, aviation and electronic surveillance, night vision and high-tech weaponry to target vehicles commonly used to move large numbers of illegal immigrants, Arpaio said. If such a vehicle is stopped for speeding, for example, anyone inside the vehicle who’s determined by deputies to be an illegal immigrant will be arrested and jailed.

Arpaio stressed the need for probable cause to arrest a suspect. That means a vehicle must have a fake license plate, be speeding, run a red light, or break some other law before deputies can pull over the vehicle and question its occupants.

The crackdown, which has no end date, will utilize 160 deputies and officers who’ve been trained by federal agents to enforce immigration law.

Of this group, 15 officers will be devoted strictly to the human smuggling unit funded by the state. To fill the personnel void this unit has created in the ranks, the sheriff said his office is recruiting officers from local and national police agencies to join his office through lateral transfers.

To further add to his numbers, the sheriff will deputize 64 federal immigration (ICE) agents on Monday, which will enable them to act as both federal and local law enforcement agents.

“We are quickly becoming a full-fledged anti-illegal immigration agency,” Arpaio said.

Arpaio also announced a hotline for citizens to call with information or evidence about illegal immigrants. He plans to advertise the hotline by posting its phone number on the sides of sheriff’s trucks.

He is unsure off how his office will be able to use the tips provided. “It’s an intelligence gathering tool,” Arpaio said.

The hotline number is: (602) 876-4154.

So all of Graham’s, McCain’s, Kennedy’s, Lott’s, Specter’s, Bush’s, Chertoff’s, Tony Snow’s ‘we need new laws; the old ones don’t work’, is a load of PR crap.

Well! We really already knew that.

How quickly & efficiently will Norad respond to it?
How much time will pass between when its spotted on radar and when the counter missiles intercept it?
Also, are they prepared to defend against unknown technologies like extremely fast missiles?

Are they thinking ahead?

ok, this happened when i was 14, (i am 20 now) One night, i was with my brother (he was only 16) and his 2 older friends, well we were pulled over by a state trooper, and they ended up towing the car, this was around midnight, we were 1 mile away from the next town. The trooper did call my brother and i's parents, or even offer to call for a ride..the nearest phone to us was inside a strip club near the are we got stopped. Well the trooper left us out there to walk, a 14,16 and two 18 year olds...at MIDNIGHT. none of us were old enough to go inside the strip club, when one of the 18 yr olds tried, she was denied..So we had to walk to the nearest town, 1 mile away at midnight. When my dad found out about this, he went to the Stae Police office and complained, thinking this was a racial siutation, as we are brown. OSP would not look into it...so my question is, do you think it was right for the trooper to do that? should they have looked into it after our complaint?

For those of you from a previous post, who think Dubya won't extend his term of office, think again. For those who think any president who cancels elections in the USA to extend their term, will be signing their own death warrant(As someone put it), think again.
The wheels of this have been put in place and will begin rolling if a national emergency arises before he leaves the White House....we could all be stuck with this nutter for an eternity until HE HIMSELF declares the crisis over...
If you do not believe that this is possible...please follow this link and read the document....THIS IS NOT SOMEONE ANTI-BUSH...I AM STATING A FACT...PLEASE READ...

Just curious how many people of tired of PNAC-Penolope's posts. I mean PNAC (Project for the New American Century) - founded in part by Uncle Dick (Cheney). Hate to say it but she is out numbered 10 to 1, was just curious how many were sick of "her" posts. Or is "she" just some bald-headed neocon posing? Thoughts???

Bill Richardson is the most qualified presidential candidate for '08. He has arguably the best resume, background and experience. He was congressman, UN ambassador, Energy Secretary, and a fantastic governor. But why haven't many people heard of him? Why are so many people supporting the sell-outs i.e. Hillary, Barack? Hillary thinks she king of the world and Barack thinks just because he's black, people will sympathize for him? Don't you think this country needs a true leader especially in times like these instead of a mediocre, popular canidate? This country needs a true, passionate leader and Bill Richardson fits the "Bill".

-My statements and opinions has no intention on offending anyone in anyway. And if you are offended, I'm sorry.

Would you bothered if a president walked the picket lines?What would you say if you owned the business he was portesting against? Senator Obama in a pure sellout to unions said he will walk picket lines with unions as he has done in the past if elected president.

This is a first! As a left-leaning, life-long Democrat, I doubt that anyone has ever heard me utter a positive word about Bush. He has no qualities that I admire. However, I'm hoping the nasty test went well and that the news from the lab is positive. There....I did it!

What is your solution to getting energy needs met?

Remember this

1. We are an oil based economy and it will take decades to switch to something else.

2. As our economy grows, so does needs for energy

Environmentalists have blocked

oil drilling all over the US
new refineries being built
nuclear energy

What is your solution?
