Des Moines residents and officials brace for flooding, the likes of which have not been seen in 15 years -- and more, in some cases. This playlist as a day-by-day visual account of the flooding.
Once Indiana and North Carolina were tallied up, Obama firmly positioned himself as McCain's opponent -- not Clinton's. Never the less, Hillary continues to act as though she has a fighting chance. Does she know something the rest of us are missing? Do the Clintons have an ace in the hole they haven't brought out yet? Is there a gotcha moment in Obama's near-term future? Doesn't appear so. The supers are all lining up behind Obama and it's pretty much a sealed deal. In fact, she's done all the damage she can do to the party, as long as Obama continues to fix sights of MacCain and stays clear of mixing it up with Clinton, and it's really her own position that will falter as she continues to fight this losing battle. And when you look at McCain's abortion flip and add that to his scam healthcare plan, I think he's washed out too.
Most people buy a used car at some point in their lives,
but how many do a little investigation before buying? You should know what
you're buying before laying down the cash -- or worse yet, financing. Many
dealers will now show you a CarFax data sheet. They punch in the Vehicle

the car, including make, model, body style, manufacturing plant, etc. Try

in one of the boxes below. You may be surprised at what you can learn.

On May 9, 2021 a sergeant with the University City, Missouri Police Dept. detained and demanded the identification of a man after receiving a middle-finger salute. Sgt. Larry Becton approached the man and accused him of "aimlessly walking around" and insisted that he provide ID. "Do you live over here," Becton asked. "It's not an option. Right now you're being detained ... for suspicious activity," the officer said. "I will take you to the station and get your ID," Becton repeated. The suspect, who asked to remain anonymous, asked, "Is this because I flicked you off?" As Becton demanded the man stand up, presenting his handcuffs, said, "I'm going to put you in handcuffs right now. Go ahead and resist if you want to." He then reached into the man's pocket and fished out his wallet. "For future reference, young man, you don't disrespect the police like that" the police sergeant said. Sgt. Becton ...
