  1. Sad deal... Waggoner has influenced the quarter and paint horse industry probably more than any one person. Relatives/vultures sitting on the fence poles.
  2. Well, they may get the grades, but won't get the jobs...then they'll whine. U of W gets the STUPID award for the month.

  4. Most stupidiest thing I've ever heard of; and have typed NUMEROUS trials against doctors and pharmacies for doing just that, which they should... but going after FedEX and UPS - UNBELIEVABLE! This administration is literally unbelievable! If the govt. won't give FedEx or UPS the list of "who not to ship for"... and they DON'T ship the drugs, then they'll get sued for discrimination or something or another.. .just unbelievable! Hoping FedEX, unlike UPS, fights it! http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-07-17/fedex-indicted-for-distributing-controlled-drugs-online FedEx Corp. was indicted for delivering prescription pain pills, sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs and other controlled substances for illegal Internet pharmacies. A conviction could be “material,” the company said today in a regulatory filing. The operator of the world’s largest (FDX:US) cargo airline was charged by the U.S. with 15 counts of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and misbranded drugs and drug trafficking that carry a potential fine of twice the gains from the conduct, alleged to be at least $820 million for it and co-conspirators. Yesterday’s indictment in San Francisco federal court comes more than a year afterUnited Parcel Service Inc. (UPS:US) agreed to forfeit $40 million in payments it received from illicit online pharmacies under a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Justice Department. STORY: The Feds Go After FedEx for Shipping Drugs FedEx delivered drugs to Internet pharmacies that supplied pills to customers who filled out online questionnaires, and were never examined by doctors -- knowing these practices violated federal and state drug laws, the government alleged. The company vowed to fight the charges, saying it can’t be responsible for the contents of the 10 million packages it transports daily and that policing customers would violate their privacy. “FedEx is innocent,” Patrick Fitzgerald, a spokesman for the Memphis, Tennessee-based company, said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. “We will plead not guilty. We will defend against this attack on the integrity and good name of FedEx and its employees.” Business TenetFedEx said last year that an indictment or prosecution in the case would threaten a basic tenet of its shipping business - - not opening packages. Revenue from online pharmaceutical shipments is a small percentage of total sales, the company previously said. FedEx reported $44.3 billion in revenue for fiscal 2013. If convicted, the company could face fines, penalties, forfeiture and compliance conditions, it said today in the regulatory filing. “Given the early stage of this proceeding, we cannot estimate the amount or range of loss, if any; however, it is reasonably possible that it could be material if we are convicted,” according to the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Pharmacy ListFedEx said yesterday it repeatedly asked the government for a list of illegal pharmacies so it would know which ones not to do business with. The U.S. never gave it such a list, it said. The company knew it was delivering drugs to dealers and addicts, with couriers in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia expressing concerns circulated to senior managers that FedEx trucks were stopped on the road by online pharmacy customers demanding packages of pills, according to the indictment. Some delivery addresses were parking lots or vacant homes, prosecutors said. “This indictment highlights the importance of holding corporations that knowingly enable illegal activity responsible for their role in aiding criminal behavior,” U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag in San Francisco said in a statement. Arrests, ShutdownsThe illegal deliveries began in 2000, Haag said, and FedEx continued to do business with one Internet pharmacy whose manager had been arrested for violating drug laws. She said the company also served a fulfillment pharmacy that supplied Internet pharmacies that were shut by law enforcement, with their owners and doctors convicted of illegally distributing drugs. UPS, in its March 2013 agreement (UPS:US), acknowledged doing business with online pharmacies even after it learned they were illegally distributing controlled substances without requiring valid prescriptions. UPS, based in Atlanta, also agreed to establish a compliance program designed to ensure such customers won’t be able to use its services to illegally distribute drugs. Under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, a shipping or freight company is allowed to possess and transport drugs “in the lawful and usual course of its business” without registering with drug enforcement authorities. The law regulates the manufacture and distribution of narcotics and certain other drugs and chemicals used in the illegal production of controlled substances. Consumers are turning to online pharmacies because of the convenience and privacy of purchasing medicines there, and as insurance companies encourage home delivery for long-term medications, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website. The case is U.S. v. FedEx Corp. (FDX:US), 14-cr-00380, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).
  5. They've been doing that thumb printing business for a while now... but a full set? I'm sure illegals will be signing up big time to be fingerprinted.
  6. Non-story, no ban. "Spokeswoman Molly Snyder said it was not a ban on guns, just a “request” that the Minneapolis-based retailer hoped its customers would honor. She said no signs would be posted banning guns, nor would any customer legally carrying a gun in Target stores be asked to leave."
  7. Wrong. Maybe you ought to read the law. The law is only in circumstances of women and children being TRAFFICKED into the country illegally. Trafficking versus an individual crossing the border illegally just cuz are different....
  8. Apparently they're going to have a public forum...now won't that be interesting. Judge is up for re-election, good time for the voters to decide if they wanna keep him or let him find another job.
  9. This isn't about trafficking when they're lining up and actually trying to find the Border Patrol and waving them down...Hume's wrong.
  10. Figures, a democrat - http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2014/07/08/dallas-judge-immigrant-housing A county judge who gets elected... or loses an election...this one is up for re-election... http://keranews.org/post/after-immigration-shelters-named-dallas-county-leaders-could-face-raucous-meeting Course if the folks of Grand Prairie want to have to pay for a bunch of illegals...well....RAISE THEIR TAXES!
  11. Law was started in 2000... 2008 is the funds for it. "To authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2008 through 2011 for the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, to enhance measures to combat trafficking in persons, and for other purposes." http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-110publ457/pdf/PLAW-110publ457.pdf This law is about trafficking...not illegals just pouring in. The original law from 2000 - http://www.state.gov/j/tip/laws/61124.htm That Clinton signed - http://endslaveryandtrafficking.org/fy2014/Relevant-Authorization-Statutes.php Bush - http://www.ice.gov/news/releases/0812/081223washington.htm Hume DOESN'T have a clue what this Act is even about...has absolutely ZERO with what's going on at our borders today.
  12. Good grief... so if and when anyone visits a Chipolte restaurant - no one should have to pay their bill. After all, they're for no one paying for a meal...
  13. What's going on at the border - blatent misappropriation of money; blatent abuse of his powers; blatent abuse of not adhering to the Constitution - nothing new there obviously. What should they do - shutdown the borders, don't take them in, institute E-verify - not going to happen though till someone else holds POTUS.
  14. Seems to me POTUS is doing a good job of wrecking things as it is...people are beginning to understand and see that how many excuses of "I didn't know that", too many of 'em now. At the border, folks are getting upset, their politicians are hearing about it, where an area may have been Dem before, may turn R, or something else. Unemployment among African Americans is higher than any other race; more folks on food stamps and disability than ever before.... POTUS has gone over and beyond to tip the scales, not that it's stopping him, but the more he "does" or "doesn't" do, the more people begin to see how it is affecting them. Then more Obamacare kicks in in 2015... Getting to the point of no need to ask for impeachment, he'll take care of that himself....the more he does/doesn't do, the more people get mad. He is not only setting up a huge choice, but hopefully a total sweep; and then a sweep to whatever he changed, to bring it back to a "norm", whatever that "norm" is; E-verify and shutting down the borders looks to be a high priority, along with totally revamping the IRS and the VA....suffice to say, folks who are in those jobs in those agencies...best start looking for another job, if they're not brought up for treason that is... and Holder should be FIRST on the list!
  15. Suffice to say, this next year's "Happy IRS time" will sure be a shock to some folks... awwww... too bad!
  16. LOL It's for sure one of the next "bubbles" to bust. What blows my mind is, SOME parents actually sign their names to all these loans... good grief - I can't EVEN imagine! Why the world these kids can't have a full time job and take night courses is ABSOLUTELY beyond me...but then that'd be "too hard". Boy, that sure builds character, huh! UGH! Bunch of whiney little you know whaties if'n you ask me. And you do get that a lot of that stuff you mentioned above, uh, yeah, I've seen kids actually pay for all that with that "free" govt. money they're getting. Unbelievable! A friend of mine has a son in college, to be an engineer...cha-ching, cha-ching...father told son when he came back this summer, he had him a job at an engineering firm, won't be much money, but good relationship building and experience (make sure that's what he wants to do), and on the side, at night and weekends, he'll have to take a part-time job. Son threw a fit, said he's "on summer vacation." Father told him, fine, then I'll tell you what, pack your stuff when you come back home because we're not helping you anymore, and when you get back, you're coming to work for me. Son decided he'd best take that engineering job and has a job at Subway for nights and weekends...LOL Kinda funny.. and what's even more funnier, father said, every bit that you make with the exception of $20 per week, you're putting up for your college tuition and books...LOL
  17. Just saying... one of these days somebody's gonna say... "I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY." And hint - apparently you're not staying downwind of too many "stoopid" people cuz... well.....LOL
  18. I've got news for you... being a Goldman Sachs employee in Houston DOES NOT, in any way, mean she has any pull whatsoever with Goldman Sachs in New York...not even close. Until Cruz proves otherwise, he's been conservative...obviously not libertarian enough for you. And why should his wife get another job because you don't approve of the one she has? Really. Good grief almighty!
  19. ^ You know... one of these days somebody's gonna come up to you and say, "I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY." Should prove interesting....that is, if you say your political beliefs outloud versus on line....LOL
  20. This is an absolute STUPID statement: "White House press secretary Josh Earnest said women should be able to "make personal health decisions for themselves,” and called contraception "vital" to the health and well-being of women." Duh, you stupid idiot, of course they can make their "own" decisions; however, doesn't mean somebody else has to pay for 'em! Pandering to the stupids!
  21. Looks to me like manipulation...or is it a mistake? http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/30/noaa-quietly-reinstates-july-1936-as-the-hottest-month-on-record/
