A survey by New York-based magazine Conde Nast Traveler has ranked Guangzhou and Shenzhen among the world's top 20 most unfriendly cities. How many respondents have been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen? Condé Nast Traveler released the lists of the friendliest and unfriendliest cities in the world recently. According to its website, a total of 46,476 respondents were surveyed. China’s Guangzhou is considered the 11th unfriendliest city while Shenzhen is the 14th on the list. So what were exactly asked in this not-very-scientific survey to determine these embarrassing results for Guangdong Province? The survey didn't introduce how many respondents have been...

Less than a week after being "rescued" from a jungle home they built and fled to 40 years ago during the Vietnam War, a former soldier and his son have both asked to go back. They were taken from their dwelling, where they had been ever since their house was bombed in 1972, by a group of family members and local officials last week. Ho Van Thanh, the 82-year-old father, has recovered with some medical care after being carried from his home 40 kilometers deep in the jungle in the central province of Quang Ngai on a hammock last Wednesday....

Why is the Obama Administration buying Russian 7.62×39 ammo among others not used in US forces weapons? By Fred Brownbill on July 27, 2013 in Constitution Legal Watch Save America Foundation campaign to save the 2nd amendment Writer: Kit Daniels The U.S. Army is now looking to stockpile nearly 3,000,000 live rounds of Soviet-era Russian ammo popular with civilian shooters. A U.S. Army solicitation posted July 18 on the Federal Business Opportunities web site asks for “non-standard” ammunition from vendors which includes: - 2,550,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ball ammo - 575,000 blank rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo and - 425,000 rounds...

A new video shows Lois Lerner talking about the pressure being brought to bear on the IRS to halt GOP money going into the 2010 election: Newly uncovered video shows Lois Lerner discussing the political pressure that swirled around the IRS in 2010. Lerner says "everyone" was "screaming at" the IRS to stop the flood of money pouring into the 2010 elections through 501(c)(4) groups as a result of Citizens United. Lerner spoke to a small group at Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy on October 19, 2010, just two weeks before the wave election that brought the Tea Party...

Director Ridley Scott will release his new movie The Counselor on October 25, and it tells the story of a respected attorney (an oxymoron?) who becomes involved with the narco world. Of course, it's going to be difficult to suspend disbelief to enjoy the flick. After all, the premise that the legal profession becomes entangled with organized crime is totally absurd. After all, members of the bar are officers of the court for goodness' sake. What's next for Hollywood? Evidence-planting cops? Bribe-taking politicians? Case-fixing judges? It may be a wicked world but surely dirty lawyers aren't part of it. Shame...

Being able to fight and survive when SHTF means lot of things. Of course it means to be trained, well equip and ready to fight. But there is some misunderstanding (just like with many other things when it comes to SHTF and survival in general) when it comes to what you suppose to have with you while you are moving through dangerous area in which you might have to fight in a survival situation. There are countless discussions on forums about what to have, AR or AK, and what is better, with what weapon you have more chance to win,...

I found a international moneygram money order in the parking lot in a busy shopping plaza.There is no name, address, or other information on it. There is a dollar amount printed on . I called Moneygram customer service, but just got a recording. I called local stores here, but they weren't able to give me any information (or advice). I was trying to locate the owner, so I can return it to him. Now that I can't find the owner, what should I do? I've never had a money order, so what is the legal issues regarding it? Is it...

Someone or some company will develop an app that will signal when a person is lying!

The whole world will change when deception is so easily detected.

You might think that the greatest hat trick artist of all time was Wayne Gretsky. You'd be talking hockey, and you'd be right. A hat trick, as many know, is 3 goals or more during a single game. This applies, as well, I believe with soccer. In this short piece, however, we wish to discuss the neo-hat trick of the Democratic Party. A neo-hat trick is scored by any of the democrat's beautiful frauleins who can make a simple claim: kissed by Filner, sexted by Weiner, and propositioned by Clinton. (We must point out that we mean, Bill...) How instructive...

With all the drama surrounding the transition from the old Unlimited Class to the new, the fans are forgetting about the other five classes of racing. I've decided to give focus this month’s column on the other classes, the innovators and racers who we don’t hear about on the forums. Who they are and what to look for this year – but let’s start with why the fans aren't as enamored with these classes, and why maybe they should be. Air Racing through the years was always about technical advancements -- especially for civil aviation. Among the first races in...

A few of my friends on Facebook have legitimately asked some variation of this salient question: “Why the hell are the Republicans in Congress and the Senate caving to Obama?!”And I have a theory as to why.Remember oh, a year or so ago when Maxine Waters let the cat out of the bag about Obama’s database?No?Okay, here’s the quote to remind you: Well, you know, I don’t know. And I think some people are missing something here. The president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life....

Symbolizing the dramatic decline of Motor City, many buildings and structures in the former manufacturing mecca of Detroit, Mich. lay in crumbling and weather-beaten ruins. In his bestselling book, "The World Without Us," Alan Weisman (who has reported from abandoned cities such as Chernobyl, Ukraine and Varosha, Cyprus) wrote that structures crumble as weather does unrepaired damage and other life forms create new habitats. A common structure would begin to fall apart as water eventually leaks into the roof, erodes the wood and rusts the nail, he wrote. Without intervention, many of Detroit's abandoned structures would eventually succumb to nature's...

OBAMA: If I HAD A CITY, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE DETROIT 07-25-2013 5:02 pm - Mark Alexander - Patriot Post "The multiplication of public offices, increase of expense beyond income, growth and entailment of a public debt, are indications soliciting the employment of the pruning knife." --Thomas Jefferson (1821) Launching the next leg of his perpetual campaign, Barack Hussein Obama took his "Change the Subject" snake oil sales pitch -- which he prefers to call the "Better Bargain for the Middle Class" tour -- on the road this week. In this, his 18th "political pivot" back to jobs, he is...

The US Navy – as are the rest of the services -- is in freefall and it hurts deeply to watch the disaster unfold. When I joined the Navy during the Vietnam War, the Navy was in a build-up as only a war can stimulate. After slogging my way through Aviation Officer Candidate School [1] (abandoned in 2007 so the Navy could save money by educating all officer candidates at Naval Station Newport, RI) and after a total of 18 months of training, I landed in my first Fleet squadron and two months later solely navigated my P-3B airplane [2]...

My source is solid. She really thought Anthony Weiner and her were in love, they spoke on the phone daily multiple times a day for 6 months. Anthony Weiner played with her emotions and mind. Most calls were phone sex. He promised her many things including a condo in Chicago (1235 S. Prairie Ave) where they were planning to meet up to have sex. Anthony Weiner has a shoe fetish, particularly heels.

If there is one thing that 99.9% of us here agree on, it is that government, at all levels, is far to big, too expensive, and too intrusive into our lives, and needs to be curtailed drastically. I was astonished, and happily so, today to hear Speaker Boehner, on "Face the Nation," when asked why Congress has accomplished so little, respond that "Congress should not be judged on how many new laws we create, but on how many we repeal." Damn!!! That sounded awesome! But let's be honest here...we all probably have at least ONE law or regulation that we'd...

Internet Stunned: Geraldo Rivera Tweets Semi-Nude Photo of Himself (Warning: You Will Not Be Able to Unsee This) Jul. 21, 2013 10:12am Madeleine Morgenstern Fox News host Geraldo Rivera tweeted a jaw-dropping half-nude “selfie” mirror photo early Sunday. “70 is the new 50,” the shirtless Rivera wrote from what appears to be a bathroom, a fluffy white towel or robe positioned very low in front of his hips. “(Erica and family are going to be so pissed…but at my age…)”

To avoid trouble stay away from these Al Sharpton Unrest areas. By Fred Brownbill on July 19, 2013 in Constitution Legal Watch, News This is the latest list of locations for the Trayvon Martin protests against white gun owners, American courts, jury verdicts, and the Rule of Law. All Americans please avoid these areas on Saturday July 20 as the likelihood of violence and property destruction are very high based on events like these seen in several states!..

A fogbow member has gone full throttle at trying to destroy the career of Reed Hayes, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Posse forensic document expert. Mr. Hayes wrote a 40 page report documenting his evidence that backs up the Cold Case Posse's investigation proving Obama's birth certificate is a 100% forgery. The fact that the fogbow member would go to such lengths to write a letter to the President of the NADE (National Association Of Document Examiners) complaining about Reed Hayes work ethics shows desperation to destroy his career. This individual who did this asked Reed Hayes in...

Trayvon Witness: It was Homophobia, not Racism Posted by Tad Cronn in Crime, Culture, Email Featured, Homosexuality, Liberal Bullying, Liberalism, Morality, Race, Racism | 23 Comments Rachel Jeantel is just the gift that won't stop running its mouth. Even after the trial of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, Jeantel just keeps on proving that the jury reached the right decision. Her latest foray into momentary celebrity came on Piers Morgan's talk show at CNN. Despite Morgan's best efforts to save her, Jeantel basically put the lie to the prosecution's entire case that the killing was about racism...

Barack Obama, in a further attempt to politicize the Zimmerman trial, made an appalling, pitiful and shameful statement Sunday. After failing miserably to use the Sandy Hook shootings to trash the Second Amendment, Obama is now attempting to use the complete acquittal of George Zimmerman to “honor Trayvon Martin” by using the shooting, done in self-defense, to “stem the tide of gun violence.” Here is Obama’s full statement...

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Office has responded to the...

Just a question: I've been following the case pretty well, I think, and part of the back story was there were a lot of burglaries in Zimmerman's community before the incident occurred. It was also reported that in each case, the perp was black (or at least suspected to be). So here's my politically incorrect question that I hope someone has an answer... ... how many burglaries have their been in that community since the death of Young Mr. Martin?

Where's the Outrage? Marches? Protests? Maybe a speech or two? Hello? Relatives recall Gizzell Kiara Ford as a smart, mature and respectful 8-year-old girl. Prosecutors said today her grandmother, Helen M. Ford, 51, of the 5200 block of West Adams Street, inflicted so many injuries on the girl over a long enough period and neglected her so badly that before she died Friday, Gizzell had maggots living in a head injury that had spread to another part of her scalp. Ford cried today as prosecutors detailed the girl's injuries to Criminal Court Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. and the judge set...

Is it sinful to kill in self-defense? This is a topic that I’ve been wanting to write about for a while now and this rant from NEA Vice President Lily Eskelsen Garcia got me thinking about the subject again. At the Netroots Nation conference,  Garcia said of gun rights supporters… “I’m not an ordained minister; I’m not a theologian, but these guys are going to hell.” I’m not an ordained minister or a theologian either, but what does God think of those of us who own firearms? Did He really give us a right to keep and bear arms; to have deadly weapons?Ultimately,...

With the George Zimmerman case winding down, another funny hashtag addresses the widespread fear of blacks rioting. There's lots of buzz and fear out there about black people rioting in the streets if a verdict other than "guilty" is handed down in the George Zimmerman case. As the trial winds down, there's no shortage of fearmongering in the media, from radio and TV to print and online. But black folks aren't the only ones with the capacity to channel hot emotions through destructive means. No one seems to remember the Red Summer race riots of 1919, an entire season of...

A tea party group that launched a petition drive to prosecute U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder reported on its Facebook page that nearly 1 million have signed on — and the movement is only growing by the minute. The petition from TheTeaParty.net states, in part: “A person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. That’s not the case, however, in Obama’s America when he needs to manipulate the people for his own political expediency. Who can he always rely on to be his hatchet man? None other than Attorney General Eric Holder. Do you stand with us in calling...

After I retired from UAL as a Standards Captain on the -400, I got a job as a simulator instructor working for Alteon (a Boeing subsidiary) at Asiana. When I first got there, I was shocked and surprised by the lack of basic piloting skills shown by most of the pilots. It is not a normal situation with normal progression from new hire, right seat, left seat taking a decade or two. One big difference is that ex-Military pilots are given super-seniority and progress to the left seat much faster. Compared to the US, they also upgrade fairly rapidly because...

It seems that the normal fraud associated with elections in California isn't enough for the progressive liberals who rule that state. Now the California State Senate has passed a bill, sponsored by Rob Bonta, that allows non-citizens to work at polls to help voters when they cast their ballots. The legislation requires that the non-citizens be legal immigrants who have permanent residency status (I'm actually stunned that they're required to be legal immigrants). Moonbat Senator Norma Torres, who placed the bill before the Senate, bleats that, "These individuals have the absolute right to make fully informed voting decisions on Election...
