Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 4/26/2021 4:45:45 AM

Covid-19 has brought an end to Atlanta’s crown as the world’s busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic. And it was not Chicago O’Hare or Dubai, its previous closest challengers, but Guangzhou Baiyun Airport that is now number one. The city of Guangzhou may be more familiar to you as Canton, the name long used by Westerners for the city that dominates the Peral River Delta in Southern China, about 85 miles north of Hong Kong. The Peral River Delta is now considered the world’s most populous conurbation (snip) China’s airports take 7 of the top ten slots for the busiest airports in the world,

Hubby always enjoyed flying through Atlanta because of the lovely Southern women he encountered. Sadly, times have changed.

I guess the Chinese don't have all the silly cootie rules as the airlines in the USA. Also, people in the USA (currently) have options. They can drive to where they want to be. Air travel can be hazardous.

Isn't it the Pearl River? Not the Peral River? I could be wrong.

Dr Lifson, PLEASE hire an editor to check the spelling in YOUR articles. In three citations in this article, you have “Peral River” when it’s “Pearl River.” No long ago you left out an ”l” and wrote about “pubic education.”

or could it be the number of people who are boycotting Delta Airlines? we are truly witnessing our country or, some portion of it, turning into a devastated third world country where the guy with the most guns runs the show. only in this case it's the guy who has the most votes is elected to follow the directions of a higher level of corrupt and traitorous leadership. communists don't care who they have working for them as long as the end goal is achieved, that is why they recruit the most socially deprived people or, people who think they are the most socially deprived.

Billions of ChiComs. OK, so now they have some airliners. No longer traveling by burro or foot or whatever they did 20 years ago. Still pure evil.

Chi-Coms fly a lot of freight out of Guangzhou AND our U.S. airlines can't fly to and from many countries right now over Biden-Fauci imposed COVID restrictions. As an aside, several years back China made "aviation" the key part of their 5-year plane, and with that decided to build 100 new airports around China. The stoopid Communist financial process. "Build an airport and they will come" sort of thinking. Airports are insanely expensive to build and with terrible Chinese construction methods, won't last nearly as long as U.S. airports. This is why China has large numbers of "ghost cities" entire cities of housing, offices, shopping, etc., built over decades, that have had NO occupants ever. They built cities where no one can afford to live because there are no high paying jobs. That said, you can bet that plenty of Communist Party members made personal fortunes building financial failures. With that there is a parallel with American politicians. In China the richest people in the country are politicians.

Black Rage: It’s All About the Humiliation 16 replies

Ask yourself: suppose you belonged to a social group that led the world in drugged-out losers resisting arrest and teenage knife fighters? How would it make you feel? The answer is obvious. You would feel humiliated. Now you understand what America’s blacks are feeling in the wake of the righteous Chauvin conviction and the tragic death of Knife Girl. But what do people feel when they are humiliated? I went to Churchill’s famous homily: In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Good Will.

On whose behalf does Kamala Harris work? She seems to have unintentionally provided the answer yesterday. Liberal pundit Michael Kinsley gained a degree of immortality when he wrote, “A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth—some obvious truth he isn’t supposed to say.” Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris, speaking about her planned video meetings today with Guatemalan “community leaders,” she revealed her true priorities, and they don’t make the interests of American citizens her top concern:

A few videos are making the rounds showing a wild brawl taking place at one of the gates in Miami International Airport. We don’t know what started the brawl, although the media are reporting that the police did eventually arrest one person for disorderly conduct. The primary victim, however, does not want to press charges, so the matter will almost certainly disappear. What makes one of the videos so compelling is the fact that it seemly represents the breakdown of law and order across American cities.

There’s something off about Kamala Harris. And no, I’m not talking about her hard-left political beliefs, the lies she tells, or her endless reinventing herself for political advancement. In that regard, she’s just another leftist politician. What’s bizarre about Kamala is her inappropriate laughter about things that ought to inspire solemnity. What makes laughter inappropriate? It’s inappropriate when you’re speaking to a crowd and you’re the only one who laughs. Of course, that can also happen to a bad comedian, but there’s no indication in the clip below that Kamala was trying to tell a joke.
How to Make a COVID Vaccination Decision 29 replies

n the debate over whether one should or should not get the COVID vaccination, much has been said about the “science.” However, I’m not sure any encyclopedic knowledge of “science” is required to make this health decision. Simple statistical analysis should suffice to inform one’s ultimate decision. Statistics is primarily a study of probabilities. Fortunately, as regards COVID mortality rates, these probabilities are now known. That is, COVID mortality statistics broken down by age cohorts are now “known knowables.” For example, through statistics as of April 7, the odds an American under the age of 25 would die from COVID were 1-in-106,217.

A serious question: How is it that any Democrats ever get elected to national office? Cheating now leaps to mind, but, other than that? Their policies fly in the face of the beliefs and values of a distinct and measurable majority of Americans. But they don’t even care about the poll numbers. Most Americans are adamantly against defunding the police, African Americans included. Most Americans are against Democrat plans to pack the Supreme Court. Most Americans are against leaving their border(s) open and rewarding those who choose to come here illegally

Americans are proud of their right to property, not enjoyed by people in many democracies. As the Cato Institute puts it, our founding fathers understood that private property is the foundation of prosperity and freedom. But California's 46-year-old Agricultural Labor Relations Act (ALRA) violates that constitutional principle, and it even fails to protect farm workers. It allows union officials and pickets to invade farms — for three hours every day, for 120 days a year — and harangue, coerce, and arm-twist farm workers into joining the union and engaging in collective bargaining with growers even when they're happy with their working conditions and pay.

COLUMBUS, OH – The Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus has joined hordes of untrained armchair quarterbacks, in order to render her opinion on police procedure after the officer-involved shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant. In Columbus, Ohio on April 20, 2021, Officer Nicholas Reardon had to make a split second decision to intervene as Ma’Khia Bryant rushed toward her potential victim with a knife, after ignoring lawful orders to “get down.” Reardon fired his pistol, striking Bryant and ending the attack. Aid was rendered at the scene, but Bryant was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Neighbors reported that Bryant “was in full attack mode” and also said:

Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif claimed in recently leaked audio that John Kerry, when he was serving as Secretary of State during the Obama administration, informed him of more than 200 Israeli operations in Syria. Kerry has previously been accused of colluding with Iranian leaders to undermine the Trump administration. Kerry is now a part of the Biden administration and has a seat on the National Security Council as the special presidential envoy for climate. Kerry shocked Zarif by revealing that Israel had attacked Iranian targets in Syria more than 200 times, according to leaked audio obtained by The New York Times and other outlets.

Twenty retired French generals have called for military rule if Emmanuel Macron fails to halt the 'disintegration' of the country 'at the hands of Islamists', in an open letter published ahead of next year's presidential election. The open letter, published in Valeurs Actuelles, a right-wing news magazine, claims a military coup might be necessary to stop a 'civil war' in France. The letter has been condemned by Macron's government, who compared it to the failed coup by generals against President de Gaulle 60 years ago. However, far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen hailed the letter, which was signed by 80 other retired officers,

The number of people who tuned in to watch the three-hour long 'wokefest' that was the Oscars has hit an all time low with just 9.85 million viewers. The television ratings for the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday night is a 58 percent drop compared to last year's already record-low 23.64 million viewers, according to early Nielsen numbers. The huge drop in ratings for Hollywood's biggest night continues an overall multi-year downward trend for the Academy Awards, which were above 43 million as recently as 2014. It comes after the Grammys, Golden Globes and SAG Awards all experienced more than 50 percent declines
