LOS ANGELES (AP) — Flights to and from airports in the Los Angeles area were grounded for more than an hour Wednesday due to a computer failure at an air traffic control facility in the region, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The problems rippled nationwide. Dozens of planes heading into the region were diverted elsewhere, and flights scheduled to take off to the Los Angeles area were held on the ground across the country.   Continue reading “Computer issues delay flights in Los Angeles”

Heavy rains caused half of an entire Baltimore block to split in half and slide down onto freight railroad tracks, bringing a dozen cars and other debris with it, officials in the Maryland city said.

Startling images show E. 26th St., between N. Charles and N. Lovegrove Sts. before — and after — the massive “sinkhole” struck the roadway in Charles Village on Wednesday afternoon.   Continue reading “Block-long Baltimore landslide tumbles cars, roadway onto railroad tracks below”

PALM HARBOR (FOX 13) –Pumping iron builds a lot more than just muscle for Krista Grubb.

“Through lifting weights and working out, I gained a lot of confidence,” Grubb said.

So naturally she was thrilled when her 13-year-old son Mason also began to take an interest.

Colorado Symphony OrchestraYahoo News – by Donna Bryson

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Symphony Orchestra said Tuesday it will play a series of “cannabis-friendly” fundraising concerts sponsored by the state’s burgeoning pot industry.

The state’s only full-time professional orchestra hopes the unusual shows dubbed “Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series” will boost its audience as it struggles with dwindling attendance and shrinking budgets.   Continue reading “Colorado Symphony links up with pot industry”

The New American – by Tom DeWeese

For the past few decades the Communist regime of China has been driving toward world supremacy, both economically and militarily. The regime’s main target has been, and is, the United States of America. China’s plan to grab power has been clever and unprecedented, seeking victory without firing a shot, reducing its targets to mere frogs in a boiling pot.

Pundits and politicians alike, when excusing their strategic dealings with China, are quick to remind their audiences that today’s China is a “centuries-old civilization” rich in tradition and ancient religious discipline. A Confucian civilization that is still upset over wrongdoings during the European colonization period.   Continue reading “Is the U.S. Being Colonized By Communist China?”

The new head of the U.S. pardon office, Deborah Leff, is a lifelong far-left activist with deep ties to radicals. She may also serve as a case study for how such activists are either able to infiltrate the establishment news media or are deliberately appointed to top news media positions.

For much of 1980s and 1990s, Leff worked in several major news media capacities. She was senior producer for “ABC World News Tonight With Peter Jennings” and also held the senior producer title at ABC’s “Nightline” and “20/20.”   Continue reading “New Obama chief was top ABC producer”

With pressure mounting to avert a transportation funding crisis this summer, the Obama administration Tuesday opened the door for states to collect tolls on interstate highways to raise revenue for roadway repairs.

The proposal, contained in a four-year, $302 billion White House transportation bill, would reverse a long-standing federal prohibition on most interstate tolling.

I didn’t know how right I was when I wrote on September 29, 2012 “Benghazi Worse then Watergate.”

With the release of new emails it is spectacularly worse — so bad in fact that it has made a full investigation with an impeachment trial necessary for the protection of our republic.   Continue reading “New Benghazi Emails Mean Obama Impeachment Trial Must Be Launched”

As Globalists Centralize, Secession Fever Grows WorldwideThe New American – by Alex Newman

Much has been written about the ongoing efforts by globalists and the international establishment to centralize political and economic power. From the European Union, the African Union, and the Union of South American States all the way to the United Nations, would-be transnational authorities are fervently seeking to consolidate and expand their power over increasingly large swaths of humanity. At the same time, though, with citizens becoming increasingly weary of being ruled by far-away, unaccountable forces, secession movements around the world are exploding.   Continue reading “As Globalists Centralize, Secession Fever Grows Worldwide”

Weed - Florida Police Launch “Don’t Let Florida Go To Pot” Anti-Weed CampaignMarijuana – by Barry Poppins

You know why (most) cops don’t want marijuana legalized? Cause they’d have to focus on real (more dangerous) crime while they’d have a lot less to do (and more time to eat donuts). The likely result: many officers would probably be out of jobs and have to migrate to mall or amusement park security.

And in Florida, the state’s sheriffs REALLY don’t want medical marijuana entering their domain. To combat the “devil’s lettuce” threat, they’ve launched a campaign with the (super witty!) title: “Don’t Let Florida Go To Pot”. The goal: don’t let reefer madness infiltrate the Sunshine State.   Continue reading “Florida Police Launch “Don’t Let Florida Go To Pot” Anti-Weed Campaign”

Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Bloomberg Television’s Erik Schatzker and Stephanie Ruhle following NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s press conference. The Rev. Jesse Jackson said:

“There’s nothing more that needs to be done. I’m sure he has polled the owners… No owner will stand against this recommendation and vote for Sterling. If they did not do it, you would have mutiny by the players, boycotts by the fans and more dropouts from the advertisers.”   Continue reading “Rev.

In a rare move, the White House is opening up about its policies on going public — or not — with cyber-security issues and online vulnerabilities.

Presidential cyber-security co-ordinator Michael Daniel has written a surprisingly candid blog post in response to the ongoing belief that the National Security Agency had actually known about the HeartBleed bug for two years, but kept its mouth shut so it could use the flaw for its own purposes.   Continue reading “White House Explains Policy on Going Public With Online Security Threats”

“No-bama, no bases, no war,” chanted an angry crowd of protesters in Manila Monday, infuriated by a ten-year defense deal in which the United States promised support for the Filipino army in the event of any dispute with the country’s neighbors growing violent.

According to NBC News, the crowd paraded through the streets with several figurines that appeared constructed with the full detail of a parade float. The centerpiece of the protest, however, was a large dog with the face of the President of the Philippines, Benigno Aquino III. The dog pulled a chariot controlled by a figurine of President Barack Obama, which was burned in effigy while floating through the streets.   Continue reading “Filipino Protesters Burn Effigy of Barack Obama to Protest New Defense Deal”

The G-8 may be no more as the G-7 throws every possible case of harsh language known to man at the Kremlin, which obstinately refuses to back down, while re-escalating sanctions against a Russia which merely has done what the US does every single time its national interest abroad is threatened, but one thing is becoming ever clearer: while the west isolates Russia with ever stricter measures, Russia has decided to make some new friends.   Continue reading “Isolated Russia Makes Friends: To Hold Military Drill With China; Strikes Multi-Billion Deals Qatar And Iran”
