I have my in-laws in town staying with us for a week. They are from Mexico; they have their valid driver license, Visa, passport & I94. Can they drive my car? If a police stop them, would that documentation be enough?

My husband was sent to jail for violation of probation. He was sentenced to 6 months but he will serve 4. Now we would be ok with it if I wasn't 7 1/2 months pregnant. We are not to firmilar with the laws and stuff. Is there any way of getting him out early or as soon as we can. He was the only form of income and we were living at his mom's and now there is no income and his mom said I can't stay with her if he isn't here too. He was put into jail November 8th (thursday). I dont know if there is any ways but if you have any ideas I would love to hear them and see what we can do. If there is a detail I did not put in and you would like to know please let me know and I will add it for you. Thank you.

I am trying to figure out who will vote who and if you really know who and why you are really voting for the person or not.

I'm voting for Clinton because she's a woman doesn't cut it either.

Assume:
I am a forward looking blue collar worker. Myself and my wife have set aside $2,500 every year from the time we were 18 until we are ready to retire at 65. I have earned the historical average stock market returns, and am now sitting on ~$4.7 million.

By your definition, do I qualify as an greedy rich fat cat investor, who deserves to be taxed at a higher rate, seeing as how I'm not "technically" (in your words) earning the dividends and capital gains I am now living on?

Why would anyone support a tax policy that let's corporations off the hook? And here's another tip . . . rich people are rich because the save (invest) more money then they make . . . why would you give the rich tax free income on the money they do not spend when the average American can barely make ends meet . . . let alone save . . . If your making 900k a year you can probably afford to live off of 400K giving you a half million in tax free income . . . If your making 90k per year your probably spending everything you earn on on the basics with an odd vacation thrown in . . . so that's right . . . you have traded in the income that would normally be protected under standard deductions and agree to have it taxed so the guy that makes 900k can have tax free income. Good job. P.S. Common sense will tell you that if something has to be called "Fair" or "True" . . . it's not.

More active members of the military died during two years of peacetime in the early 1980s than died during a two-year period of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a government report.

The Congressional Research Service, which compiled war casualty statistics from the Revolutionary War to present day conflicts, reported that 4,699 members of the U.S. military died in 1981 and '82 — a period when the U.S. had only limited troop deployments to conflicts in the Mideast. That number of deaths is nearly 900 more than the 3,800 deaths during 2005 and '06, when the U.S. was fully committed to large-scale military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The CRS, which is the public policy research arm of Congress, issued its findings in the June report "American War and Military Operations Casualties: Lists and Statistics."

FOXNews.com, in re-examining the findings, found that — surprising as it may be — there were more active duty deaths in some years of peacetime than there were i

If you have a $70 trillion shortfall that you know is coming, at least you would be honest with yourself.

Why aren't Dems honest about it?

Our true debt is $79 TRILLION thanks to Dems' programs --- not $9 trillion.

How many Americans vote for a candidate simply because one of their favorite actors/singers advocate said candidate, and support them?
Do you think this would be irresponsible voting?

This is more than my take home, it is odd what women desire in a man. Am I just not a loser enough to attract one? Should I quit work and have welfare babies like everyone around me?

Seriously now the U.K is rife with foreigners that dont like the British and we just keep letting more and more in.

They are a massive drain on our society and leech things like free medical care and housing that should by all rights go to British born people first.

So do you agree with me?
