How come Hillary's security people didn't know about Hsu's fujitive status? The LA Times found out about it just running a $20 internet background check on the guy! Their are dozens of pictures of her with him at dozens of events. Are we to believe Hillary's security people don't run background checks on the people she is going to personaly meet at events??? Yea right! I was asked to one of her fund raisers and if I wanted to meet her personally not only would I have had to pony up $1,000 I would have also had to have a background security check. I KNOW SHE KNEW!!!! Why is no one doing anything about this?!?!?! She needs to be impeached ASAP and drop out of the presidential race!

Panel: U.S. Underreported Iraq Violence

By ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press
Wednesday, December 6, 2006; 8:31 PM

WASHINGTON -- U.S. military and intelligence officials have systematically underreported the violence in Iraq in order to suit the Bush administration's policy goals, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group said.

In its report on ways to improve the U.S. approach to stabilizing Iraq, the group recommended Wednesday that the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense make changes in the collection of data about violence to provide a more accurate picture.

The panel pointed to one day last July when U.S. officials reported 93 attacks or significant acts of violence. "Yet a careful review of the reports for that single day brought to light 1,100 acts of violence," it said.

"The standard for recording attacks acts as a filter to keep events out of reports

On the news channel from Chicago they are expressing that Chicagoans and the people that run the city are really mad at the governor.
They think he is doing the wrong thing by not passing a bill to have that whole state of Illinois pay taxes to help the mass transit in the city.
Do the people of Chicago know that there are many other people in the state that do not go to Chicago and use the mass transit.
They do not want to pay taxes for something they are not using.
Why don't Chicago just get that message and increase the fares for people who use it? Then they can pay their own bills and do their own upkeep of the sysyem.
The other people in the state of Illinois are sick and tired of paying for Chicago to get everything they want.

Today is the day that Mexican trucks will come roaring into our once sovereign nation. Isnt it another case of the people be damned and isnt it time for us to start another campaign of emails and letter writing and phone calls to let the govt know how upset we are? This is a huge national security issue.

I live in Texas and have been at odds with my son's father. He is a drug addict, practices minimal parenting skills, does not pay child support (even though I have a case with the attorney general's office), parties all night and is basically a jerk in denial. I need to get my son out of this situation.

I would like to know if I were to deny visitation to his father, can I go to jail? I figure he is ignoring the court order as well in regards to child support so why should I go to jail if he isn't. But it is about much more than the support. My son is in a dangerous situation!

By the way, his dad would seriously be angry and there would be consequences in my doing this. He is a control freak and if things aren't going his way, we all have to watch out!

ABC's World News, CBS Evening News, and NBC's Nightly News reported that the death toll for U.S. service members in Iraq was down in July. But none of the programs noted at the time that U.S. troop death numbers for July, while lower than previous months, meant that this July was the deadliest July of the war. And none of the programs have reported the fact that the current number of troops killed in Iraq for the months of June, July, and August makes the summer of 2007 the bloodiest summer of the war for American soldiers.

when did it become illegal to ask another adult for sex?if you want to prosecute someone for asking for sex or lewd behaviour go to any club where hundreds of offers are presented everynight and lewd behaviour..hahaha have you watched how some people dance?im not saying sex in a public bathroom is right but thats not what was happening here.it was reported craig touched the other guys foot with his but how did he know the other guy was gay and it was ok to touch his foot?answer is because the cop was giving him signals that he himself was gay and looking for sex thus making this a set up ,that is if craig really touched his foot.has anyone ever tried to see how far into the next stall youd have to stick your foot to touch the person next to you?thats right wayyyy to far so the cops foot was right next to the wall signaling craig he was looking for sex himself. as far as pleading guilty id rather pay $500 and be done than have to hire an attorney and pay thousands too.wouldnt you

My stepson's mom hasn't spent more than an hour a week with her sons in 3 months. My husband (their dad) has full custody but he agreed to supervised visitations twice a week. She rarely shows up and when she does only sees the boys for a few minutes. Of course there's drugs involved and an abusive boyfriend so the fact she rarely sees the kids is OK with us. We just hate that the kids get their hopes up.

What's the next legal step we can take? Can her lack of complying with the current visitation schedule allow us to get a court order that will bar her from seeing the kids until she can prove she has cleaned up her life? What should be our next step?

I heard today of an incident in Ireland where some vigilantes got hold of a drug dealer, Tar & Feathered him and left him tied to a lamp post. Is the general feeling out there that more of this will happen if the law is not changed to help the victim of a crime and not the waster who committed it.

This is two pages long so please click link for entire story.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff yesterday told a House panel that his agency will not tolerate interference by so-called "sanctuary cities" when it comes to hiring illegal aliens.



Mr. Chertoff said his agency will enforce the Basic Pilot Program that requires businesses to check the legal status of new employees by matching Social Security numbers and information in Homeland Security Department databases.



Mr. Chertoff told the House Homeland Security Committee: "I certainly wouldn't tolerate interference" by cities who attempt to block the program.



"We're exploring our legal options," Mr. Chertoff said. "I intend to take as vigorous legal action as the law allows to prevent that from happening, prevent that kind of interference."



Mr. Chertoff stopped short of threatening "sanctuary cities" by withholding government funding.



"I don't know that I have the authority to cut off all Homeland Security funds if I disagree with the city's policy on immigration," Mr. Chertoff said. "And of course, I have to say the consequence of that might be to put the citizens at risk, you know, in the event of a natural disaster.



"I don't want to put people's lives at risk, but I do think where the law gives me the power to prevent anybody from interfering with our activities, we will use the law to prevent that interference," Mr. Chertoff said.



Sanctuary cities are those that have adopted policies banning police officers or other city employees from asking about immigration status. Some sanctuary cities have gone further: The city of New Haven, Conn., now issues identification cards regardless of legal status.

Another horror story from Canada:

September 4, 2007

A shortage of urologists has become so pronounced that patients' lives are at risk, managers of a St. John's-based health authority have been warned.

Andy Grant, a member of a prostate cancer support group in St. John's, said he is afraid that people will die — or already have — while waiting for surgery.

"First of all, [patients deal with] the shock you might have prostate cancer, then the shock of being confirmed with prostate cancer," he said. "Now you have the shock of saying, 'I have to wait until next year?' "

they were national socialists like FDR, Truman, and Kennedy than the current international socialists? I mean at least you knew FDR would stand up for the interests of the United States while he was redistributing the wealth... Now the Democrats still want the "movers-and-shakers" to foot the lions share of the US government bill, but dehumanize and demonize them to gain favor with the average US citizen and are unwilling to defend their income generating interests abroad...

Is a little respect and the occasional "I got your back" too much to ask for employing US citizens, providing goods and services, and paying 35% of your income in taxes?
