The songwriter would have even more material to work with using Donald Trump as his subject. Both parties are lacking in candidates with the kind of intelligence I would expect of those who are in the top positions in government. Every election cycle seems to bring even worse choices than the...

Just doing that isn't a crime. But that's not why the agents sought to arrest him. As Jack pointed out, the video you posted didn't include the entire interaction — conveniently leaving out that earlier he had repeatedly stated that he was not a U.S. citizen. The federal agents would then have...

What's needed is for those who claim to follow a particular religion is for them to not just talk about it but also live by it. I know too many people who claim to practice religion X (usually because that's the religion their family claimed to follow) but don't actually apply the principles and...

The U.S. guarantee of free speech is the most permissive in the world, but it is not absolute. The exceptions to it are not limited to communicating threats. Speech that is lewd or obscene, that may be reasonably understood to calculated to incite violence (even if the speech itself is not a...

And the people following them. Religion provides the vehicle for them to claim that their views are the only correct ones because they come from God. So they argue and fight about differences that don't really mean much in the scheme of things instead of focusing on the core message of God. The...

I'm sorry to say that I'm not surprised if that turns out to be correct. It highlights two of America's long running problems: mental health and hatred of one or more religions and the people who practice those religions. They are two distinctly different problems, but they sometimes come...

What's been said in that article suggests that the shooter may have had some kind of hatred of Mormons. He wasn't a church member with a grudge against fellow church members. A friend of mine once observed, and I think he may be correct, that more wars have fought over religion than any other...

And trailblazers too. They proved wrong those who thought that Black people were incapable of doing that kind of work and were willing to put their lives on the line to protect a country that at the time treated them, at best, as second class citizens. Their contributions are, IMO, rightfully...

The answer to the question you asked is yes, they may terminate your membership and doing so would not be illegal. That's because there is no law making that a crime or civil violation. Contract law, for the most part, does not involve any criminal law or civil regulations that might draw fines...

Gee, what a surprise. Trump put a person in charge of DOJ who seems to be clueless about constitutional law. Trumps picks for cabinet positions were particularly bad this year. And she's not even the worst of them.

The other driver's insurance company has offered the policy limit. There is no way to make it pay anything more than that. The only way to get more from the other driver is to sue the driver, get a judgment against him/her, and then collect by attaching assets and income that are not except from...

It has been my observation after spending a number of years working for the federal government that agencies tend to declare far too much information as "secret", "confidential", or some other similar designation that allows them to keep their activities out of the light of examination by the...

There is absolutely nothing in the article that explains the incident where the one brother ran over the other let alone any facts that would suggest the death was the result of murder. It's hard to imagine a sequence of events in which a road rage incident with some other unknown driver somehow...

I'm guessing those were spoof ads for the comedic value. A real business airing ads like that is painting a big bull's eye target on its back with the phrase under it that says "Sue Me".

I assume that this judgment was for the unpaid wages you are owed. If so, it's too late to go back to add more claims to that lawsuit that are connected to or arise from the same cause of action. Everything you've mentioned are all connected to your efforts to get paid and your employer's...

Nice to see I saved you some typing. :) I went ahead and provided a response anyway, which turned out to be longer than planned. I think after the OP reads it that it's likely he'll do the prudent thing and just give up on pursuing this. It might not be fair, but as the oft quoted saying goes...

An empty threat. What does he think the IRS is going to do? If returns your father did for him were fradulent then he may also be considered by the IRS as a party to the fraud. After all, the client is supposed to review the return before signing it and make sure it's correct before the client...

Of course, whoever came up with that one did it intentionally. It would have been very easy to see once they put phobia backwards and realized that it would work as well as the descriptor of the fear. If he/she was at all into wordplay that would have been too good to pass up. :D

I was putting it in the context of the particular incident described in the article, and in that instance it was the father who witnessed it. I get weary of the gender correction police jumping out at every perceived use of a wrong gender term, particularly when the context in which the phrase...

The article suggests the mother was having some kind of severe mental problem at the time. I'd think there were signs before this that all was not right with her, though often those get overlooked because they aren't anything dramatic. Only in retrospect do people seem to remember seeing things...
