A disabled U.S. Army veteran, who served our country for 19 years, says he was kicked off the North Wildwood boardwalk last night, simply for having his service dog by his side.
Jared Goering served 1 tour in Iraq, 2 in Afghanistan, and spent 19 years as an active member of the Army. Jared said, \”I served from 1993 to 2012.\” He then told NBC40 he couldn\’t sleep Thursday night because he felt so disrespected by a North Wildwood police officer.
Goering said, \”Just like any veteran with disabilities with a service dog, to come back and be harassed and shown no respect, it upset me – it really bothered me. I was up most of the night thinking about it.\”
A North Wildwood police officer issued Jared and his wife a summons because of the dog. Goering said, \”I expected to get more respect from him because of the jobs that we both have to do.\”
\”He mockingly asked if all veterans get service dogs,\” said Jared’s wife, Sally Goering, \”his dog is medically necessary and he is a service dog.\”
In 2009, Jared was serving in Afghanistan when his vehicle was blown up by IEDs, twice, within 36 hours. Now, Jared uses his 3-year-old service dog, Gator, short for Navigator, to help him walk, and to get up and down stairs.
Mr. Fox said, \”It is with great humility and excitement that I accept the position of President of Archbishop John Carroll High School. My decision to serve was certainly based on my love for the school and previous years of involvement on the Board. In an equally important way, it was also influenced by, the recent appointment of Chris Mominey as Chief Operating Officer at the Office of Catholic Education and the creation of the Faith in the Future Foundation. Carroll has felt their support and empowerment over the past several months, and I believe now is the perfect time to offer my expertise and professional skills to the Archdiocese and Archbishop Carroll on a full-time basis.\”

That\’s right, The Hamptons. After trying to bankrupt New Jersey and bankrupting MF Global, stealing $1.2 billion dollars of his client\’s money along the way, Corzine is taking a break. And believe it or not, our government may not file criminal charges against him, citing a lack of evidence. When he was asked by Congress where the money went, he testified \”I honestly don\’t know.\” Maybe his girlfriend knows.
To put this in perspective, Corzine stole more money than Bernie Madoff, Al Capone, Long John Silver, Ivan The Terrible, Cyrus the Great, and Xerxes I as well as II, combined, in inflation adjusted dollars, and he\’s vacationing up in The Hamptons with the rich and famous while we\’re down here digging out of the fiscal hole he put us in.
Why isn\’t this guy in jail?

A Canadian female libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter. She received back the following reply:
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.

All ages of bottlenose dolphins are involved and strandings range from a few live animals to mostly dead animals with many very decomposed, say scientists with the Northeast Regional Office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Fisheries Service.
