Huh???? what are you talking about???

These stickers gave the whole bus, and the driver, an opportunity to discuss a rider's gender presentation. This happened a few times to me, humiliating.

This is such bullshit! The Secret Service is funded by taxes and is is supposed to not only guard the safety of the president, but countless elected and appointed officials of the US government. Also, the spouses & children of officials.

And the big question is- were there under-age sex workers involved? It isn't like this was some small group of folks, it involves over 200 people (last count as of today) and was organized- fees collected, room arrangements made, etc. doesn't sound to me like this is the first time this has happened.

I have always viewed the Secret Service with great respect... but now... ?? I think this is going to be much bigger and more serious than was first expected.

I don't give a flying hooray about any adult engaging in sexual activity of any kind (other than without consent or with a minor), but do it on your own time and pay your own way to where ever to do it. And could this be involved with any other type of sex traffic activity?

She will be missed.

Do you think that the fact that she's the first and only female officer AND she's gay might have anything to do with this? LINK

She is and always has been something!

Md. neighborhood watch trial set against Fla. fury
 

BALTIMORE (AP) — Two brothers accused of beating a black teenager while patrolling an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood are set to go on trial Monday in a case with similarities to the Trayvon Martin shooting.

The brothers, who are white and Jewish, have claimed self-defense, saying the teen was holding a nail-studded board. Local civil rights activists hope the Martin case will draw more attention to what they believe was racial profiling by neighborhood watch vigilantes.

Eliyahu and Avi Werdesheim are accused of beating a 15-year-old boy who was walking through a Baltimore neighborhood in November 2010. The brothers pulled up next to the teen in a vehicle, then got out and "surrounded him," according to charging documents. The passenger threw the teen to the ground and the driver hit him in the head with a hand-held radio and patted him down.

The teen remembered the driver yelling, "You wanna (mess) with us, you don't belong around here, get outta here!" according to court documents, which do not identify which brother was driving.

While the teen struggled, a third man got out of a van and kneed the teen, pinning him to the ground. The teen told police that he stopped struggling and the third man continued to search him, while the teen insisted he didn't have anything on him.

Eliyahu Werdesheim told the Baltimore Jewish Times that he was acting in self-defense because the teen was holding the piece of wood. The teen picked up the board during the encounter, but put it back down, said J. Wyndal Gordon, an attorney for the teen's family. He said the family did not want to speak publically.

Pat Summitt is and always will be a force to reckon with. Just a great woman.

Is this yet another way to invade our privacy?

"Infowars' Paul Joseph Watson, reading through Section 31406 of the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act" (MAP-21) bill that's currently making its way through Congress, made a nice catch: The bill calls for "Mandatory Event Data Recorders" to be installed in new vehicles starting in the year 2015.

Yes. If the bill becomes law, cars manufactured in the U.S. will have black boxes -- similar to the recording devices that are standard inclusions on aircraft."
