What is happening in UTAH? Can't Believe This!

A former sheriff's deputy in Utah walked in on a scene that might as well have been straight out of a B-grade movie the other day. Timothy John 'TJ' Brewer walked in on his wife and his father having sex.

 Let that sink in a moment. This poor guy walked in on HIS wife (and the mother of his four children) on top of HIS father -- fire chief Wesley 'Corky' Brewer. Good Lord.

TJ reportedly went ballistic (um, of course he did), backhanded his wife, pistol-whipped his father, and then wanted to "finish the job," but before he could, Corky Brewer went home and stabbed himself, puncturing his lung and slicing his liver.

Honestly, it would be hard to imagine a different outcome. The details are just so, so sordid.

According to the reports, TJ was unable to find his wife and father after a dinner together that included drinking. When he went upstairs, he found his son's door locked. Somehow he got in and he found them. In bed together. IN HER SON'S ROOM.

I don't really care how bad your husband is, you just don't do this. With his father. In your child's room? I mean, I don't condone violence, but come on? What would you do? Can you even imagine the betrayal?

Soon after, according to police, he went out and got his gun and pointed it at his wife, who managed to somehow get it away from him and raced to her parents' house.

Now it's TJ Brewer who is paying the ultimate price. He was arrested and isn't allowed to speak to his wife or father, and his visits with his children must be supervised. His wife is saying she won't testify against him, which I guess is good. But still. Wow.

There are affairs and crimes of passion and then there is something like this. It's hard to imagine anything more upsetting than being betrayed by both your spouse and your parent at the same time. Whatever happens, this family is torn apart. What a sad, awful story.

Would you blame someone for being violent if they walked in on something like this?

 I thought there was something in the law for crimes of passion!

WHAT? WHERE? ARE YOU JOKING? Evansville Indiana ?

Waving at police in Indiana could get you tasered

A man riding his bicycle one afternoon simply waved at a passing police cruiser; he was handcuffed and threatened with being tasered for his friendly gesture. The man turned out to be a youth pastor at Memorial Baptist Church and also an Evansville firefighter, he also knows the chief of police.

                                                             

                     

According to the report from the Courier Press, Evansville firefighter George Madison Jr. has now filed a formal complaint about an Evansville Police Department officer who he said stopped him during a bicycle ride Tuesday afternoon, threatened him with a stun gun and handcuffed him.

Madison 38, who also is youth pastor at Memorial Baptist Church, said the incident occurred about 3:30 p.m. on South Weinbach Avenue after he waved at officers in a patrol car as he was riding his bike.

The father of four said he feared for his safety during the stop by two officers on South Weinbach Avenue.

“The officer jumped out and says, ‘What are you doing throwing your hands up at us?’” Madison said. “He is talking to me as he is coming toward me. I tried to explain, but I couldn’t get a word in edgewise.”

He said the officer’s angry attitude made him feel angry and alone.

“It was like everything had disappeared, and I was there alone and I got scared,” he said.

“I remember looking down the barrel of a Taser, because he was gritting his teeth and saying, ‘Don’t make me pull this trigger,’” Madison said Wednesday afternoon.

Evansville Police Chief Bolin on Wednesday said Madison called him on Tuesday and related what had happened. Bolin said he told Madison the department would “look into it.”

The chief said Madison had met with the police department’s internal affairs division to file a formal complaint. Officers would investigate the complaint and make a recommendation to him, Bolin said.

Bolin said Wednesday he had not spoken with the officers involved and because of the internal investigation declined to identify them.

“I need to stay impartial until I hear both sides,” Bolin said.

Debtors Prison in the United States? Unfairly Treated Poor People?

The use of debtors prison  in five states, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Georgia and Washington and their widespread practice of jailing people for debt  has gotten the A.C.L.U. attention.

  Breast cancer survivor Lisa Lindsay end up behind bars. She didn't pay a medical bill -- one the Herrin, Ill., teaching assistant was told she didn't owe. "She got a $280 medical bill in error and was told she didn't have to pay it,"  "But the bill was turned over to a collection agency, and eventually state troopers showed up at her home and took her to jail in handcuffs."

Some states also apply "poverty penalties," including late fees, payment plan fees, and interest when people are unable to pay all their debts at once, according to a report by the New York University's Brennan Center for Justice. Alabama charges a 30 percent collection fee, for instance, while Florida allows private debt collectors to add a 40 percent surcharge on the original debt. Some Florida counties also use so-called collection courts, where debtors can be jailed but have no right to a public defender.

Unpaid Rent Can Get You Thrown in Prison in Arkansas

Unless you come from a family so rich and so uninterested in your character development that they pay your bills for you, you've been short on your rent at least once in your life.

According to the failure-to-vacate law, once you're late on your rent, landlords can give you 10 days to pay up, move out, or go to jail. And it's written so that there is no independent investigation to find out if the landlord is telling the truth or if he's looking to fill your apartment with his buddy's hot daughter. So naturally the system is abused to the point where actual homeowners have been somehow charged with not paying their rent.

Wisconsin Wants to Freeze the Bank Accounts of Unemployed People

If some legislators in Wisconsin get their way, the state will have the right not only to monitor your personal banking account if you accept unemployment, but also to freeze your funds if they goof up in your payments.

Tennessee Tries to Make Welfare Dependent on Kids' Grades

Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield proposed a law that would've made poor families' welfare benefits dependent on their child's grades, presumably because he doesn't know anything about education, poverty, or the link between the two. Under Campfield's proposed bill, families on welfare would lose up to 30 percent of their benefits if their kids didn't make "satisfactory progress" at school.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is one of America’s most solemn observances. We honor the men and women who died serving and defending our country—unlike Veterans Day, the day to honor all veterans.


The sheer carnage of the Civil War, America’s deadliest war, inspired Memorial Day as a way to honor the war dead. The observances originally were called Decoration Day because thankful Americans decorated and cared for soldiers’ graves. “Memorial Day” usage began appearing in 1882, but “Decoration Day” was common until post-World War II. Congress officially changed the name in 1967,


Keep noon and 3 p.m. local time in mind today. At noon, all flags lowered to half-staff should be raised completely for the remainder of the day. And at 3 p.m., a National Moment of Remembrance takes place. President Bill Clinton started the tradition in 2000.


Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, is a military cemetery in the United States of America, established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna (Custis) Lee, a great grand-daughter of Martha Washington. The cemetery is situated directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
In an area of 624 acres (253 ha), veterans and military casualties from each of the nation's wars are interred in the cemetery, ranging from the American Civil War through to the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pre-Civil War dead were reinterred after 1900.



Each year, members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry regiment, also known as the Old Guard, are charged with placing American flags at the graves of each service member in Arlington National Cemetery. Created in 1784, the regiment is the oldest active duty regiment in the U.S. Army.


The Tomb of the Unknowns has been perpetually guarded since July 2, 1937, by the U.S. Army. The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment ("The Old Guard") began guarding the Tomb on April 6, 1948. There is a meticulous routine which the guard follows when watching over the graves.
                                                                            The Tomb Guard:
Marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb.
Turns, faces east for 21 seconds.
Turns and faces north for 21 seconds.
Takes 21 steps down the mat.
Repeats the routine until the soldier is relieved of duty at the Changing of the Guard.
After each turn, the Guard executes a sharp "shoulder-arms" movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors to signify that the Guard stands between the Tomb and any possible threat.


Twenty-one was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed—the 21-gun salute.
Each turn the guard makes is precise and is instantly followed by a loud click of the heels as he snaps them together. The guard is changed every half hour during daylight in the summer, and every hour during daylight in the winter and every two hours at night (when the cemetery is closed to the public), regardless of weather conditions.

WHO'S the ONLY AMERICAN CAR COMPANY TO HAVE PAID BACK the GOVERNMENT?

Model S Signature - Signature Red


TESLA REPAYS DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

LOAN NINE YEARS EARLY

WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2013
PALO ALTO, Calif.--

 Tesla Motors announced that it has paid 

off the entire loan awarded to the company by the Department of 

Energy in 2010. In addition to payments made in 2012 and Q1 

2013, today’s wire of almost half a billion dollars ($451.8M) repays 

the full loan facility with interest. Following this payment, Tesla will 

be the only American car company to have fully repaid the 

government.
For the first seven years since its founding in 2003, Tesla was 

funded entirely with private funds, led by Elon Musk. Tesla 

brought its Roadster sports car to market with a 30% gross margin, 

designed electric power trains for Daimler (Mercedes) and had done 

preliminary design of the Model S all before receiving a government 

loan.

In 2010, Tesla was awarded a milestone-based loan, requiring 

matching private capital obtained via public offering, by the DOE 

as part of the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing 

program. This program was signed into law by President Bush in 

2008 and then awarded under the Obama administration in the 

years that followed. This program is often confused with the 

financial bailouts provided to the then bankrupt GM and Chrysler, 

who were ineligible for the ATVM program, because a requirement 

of that program was good financial health.

The loan payment was made today using a portion of the 

approximately $1 billion in funds raised in last week’s concurrent 

offerings of common stock and convertible senior notes. Elon Musk, 

Tesla’s Chief Executive Officer and co founder, purchased $100 

million of common equity, the least secure portion of the offering. “I 

would like to thank the Department of Energy and the members of 

Congress and their staffs that worked hard to create the ATVM 

program, and particularly the American taxpayer from whom these 

funds originate,” said Elon Musk. “I hope we did you proud.”

Speaking as an American Taxpayer I salute you, thank-you, I will be 

a walking talking advertisement for your company, in conversations 

of how the rich get richer & the government gives away money, I will speak

 your name proudly and recite your praises!
