And just like that Slow Joe is getting whittled away... Effing Cheaters

On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, the President declared a national emergency with respect to transnational criminal organizations pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the activities of significant transnational criminal organizations.The activities of significant transnational criminal organizations have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems.  Such organizations are becoming increasingly sophisticated and dangerous to the United States; they are increasingly entrenched in the...

2 minutes long. I could not stop watching this. It is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. If only there were some mounted police.

Uncovering Holocaust perpetrators where few have lookedMuslim Nazis, female death camp guards, and Dutch ‘bounty hunters’ are coming out of the archival closet, even as fewer Shoah eyewitnesses remain alive to testify BOSTON ~ With new access to archives and other primary sources, historians are supplanting archetypal images of Aryan Nazi men as the Holocaust's sole perpetrators. Previously obscured perpetrator "sub-groups" are being exposed one portrait at a time, ranging from women who guarded death camps to Dutch bounty hunters of Jews in hiding. And as researchers uncover an array of Europeans involved in the murder of Jews and other...

DOW -393 NAD -147 SP-47 The market is currently in panic mode. Investors across the globe are wading in a sea of deep red, sparked by concerns about slumping global growth — otherwise known as China. But Jeff Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James, appears to be suggesting that the selloff that has gripped markets over the past several days is equivalent to what he describes as a “selling stampede” that could last about a month before it’s exhausted.In other words, he (unlike George Soros) is holding off before calling this a crisis. “For whatever reason, our stock market,...

House majority whip Steve Scalise spoke at a white supremacist event in 2002. That's a fact, Jack! Only one problem is that it is most definitely not a fact when the real facts are examined. This is something Politico neglected to do when publishing a smear job on Scalise. Whether one politically supports or opposes Scalise, he doesn't deserve being smeared over something that didn't happen. This reportorial crime against basic journalistic ethics was committed by Politico perps John Bresnahan and Jake Sherman. Here are their flat out declarations about something Scalise supposedly did despite facts to the contrary:

Ted Post, who directed Clint Eastwood on TV’s Rawhide and in the classic action films Hang ’Em High and Magnum Force before clashing with the actor, has died. He was 95. Post, who also helmed 56 episodes of the venerable CBS Western Gunsmoke, 90 installments of the 1960s ABC primetime soap Peyton Place and the 1981 pilot episode for the famed CBS cop show Cagney & Lacey, died early Tuesday ...

Rawhide is back on tv again on the amc channel. There is a marathon of Rawhide episodes back to back these week followed by western themed movies on Saturdays. Rawhide is on at 11 am on Saturdays and has been on for a couple of weeks. Head em' up, move 'em out! :^)

PAMPLONA, Spain — The penultimate bull run of Spain’s San Fermin festival left at least 23 people injured Saturday, when thrill-seekers fleeing the beasts were crushed at the narrow entrance to the bullring, officials said. An American citizen from Ohio was one of two runners gored. As the huge animals thundered into the entrance of the tunnel, they were blocked by a mound of dozens of people who had fallen and were piled on top of one other. One bull that had fallen before the entrance got up and charged into the clogged passageway. Two steers jumped over the pile...

On March 30, 1981, Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt outside the Washington Hilton Hotel.

There are two times in a young mans’ life when he feels that he is all grown-up, when he gets his first car and the first time he votes. Last year, we received an interesting donation. Ruth, our donor service manager, received a phone call from Laurie. She, along with her family, wanted to donate a very special 1983 Buick. The car had been in her family and was given to her son when he turned 16. He drove it back and forth to work and school. When his brother turned 16, they both shared the Buick. In late fall...

Rawhide! It was the name of a great TV Western of the 1960s, starring Clint Eastwood. But it was also the secret service code-name for President Ronald Reagan. As an actor who had once starred in Westerns (host of and guest appearances in Death Valley Days, guest appearances in Wagon Train and Zane Grey Theater, Cattle Queen of Montana, The Last Outpost, Santa Fe Trail - where he played George Custer, ...), President Reagan quite liked that code-name, Rawhide. But not long after being sworn in as the 40th President of the United States, Rawhide was in for a rough...

I don't believe it, Rawhide is finally on tv again on Encore Westerns. Head 'em up. Move 'em out.

Some people just can't wait to open their Christmas presents. That apparently was the case with a short and very fast thief who went to a store in Murray, grabbed a present and made a clean getaway. At Smith's Food & Drug in Murray, a popular place these days is the manager's office, where they have the surveillance video. "You had to see to believe it, but it happened. So, it's crazy," said Tracy Jacobson, with Smith's Food & Drug. A suspicious character entered through the front door. "I've never seen him shop in here before; new customer, didn't even...

NEW YORK - A college student who branded a former lover's body with a scalding piece of metal as payback for never calling her after they had sex was sentenced to five years in prison Friday.

With most residents asleep in his quiet West Valley neighborhood, Victor Lopez was startled early Wednesday morning by banging on his front door. "Police. Open the door, please," a man said loudly, breaking the street's silence at 5:30 a.m. Lopez opened the door to find a handful of armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in bulletproof vests standing outside his dimly lit home on North 89th Avenue. After making sure the house was safe to enter, four agents arrested and handcuffed the 53-year-old Lopez, who had been ordered to leave the U.S. in February after two appeals of his deportation...

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Frankie Laine, the big-voiced singer whose string of hits made him one of the most popular entertainers of the 1950s, died Tuesday. He was 93. Laine died of heart failure at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, Jimmy Marino, Laine's producer of more than a dozen years, told The Associated Press. "He was one of the greatest singers around," Marino said. "He was one of the last Italian crooners type." With songs such as "That's My Desire," "Mule Train," "Jezebel," "I Believe" and "That Lucky Old Sun," Laine was a regular feature of the Top...

THE world’s largest garage sale is to be held in California, with everything from impounded cars to old espresso machines going on the block, in the latest effort by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor, to solve the Golden State’s budget crisis. The housekeeping exercise, expected to raise tens of millions of dollars for California’s central coffers, is part of the former Mr Universe’s pledge to make the cash-starved state more efficient. According to Fred Aguiar, secretary of California’s State and Consumer Services Agency, the state leases warehouses that are stacked with giant crates, each one filled with surplus state goods, most...
