Tourists with a head for heights have a thrilling new experience to enjoy - strolling along the world's longest glass-bottomed bridge, which opened in Vietnam on Friday. The company behind the Bach Long pedestrian bridge - whose name translates to 'white dragon' - in the northwest Son La province, says the mammoth 632m- (2,073ft) long structure has surpassed a 526m-long (1,725ft) glass bridge in Guangdong, China.Officials from Guinness World Records are expected to verify the claim in the coming weeks. (Photos) The bridge is suspended 150m (490ft) above a lush jungle in Moc Chau Island Mountain Park and Resort and snakes around dizzying cliff faces
Dr. Anthony Fauci was spotted cozying up to CNN host Don Lennon at a White House Correspondents' Dinner pre-party after saying he would miss the main event citing an 'individual assessment of his personal risk.'Former Donald Trump political advisor Sean Spicer took to Twitter on Sunday to share a snap of Joe Biden's top medical advisor posing with the broadcaster and his partner, real estate agent Tim Malone.'Fauci bailed on attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner because of 'individual assessment of my personal risk.' …..so he just went to the [crowded] pre-parties #WHCD,' Spicer captioned the photo.
I’ve lost count of the number of hit pieces/segments I’ve read and watched over the years from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN on Tucker Carlson, and beyond the predictability of the attacks on the popular Fox News host, the one thing I’ve noticed is the increasing desperation that comes with each “bombshell” report.The desperation, of course, stems from the fact that every attack they launch against him only serves to increase his popularity in part because Carlson is famously (or infamously, in some circles) unapologetic in his stances. Further, Carlson has over the years also fine-tuned his penchant for turning the hits

after one-year ban, is booted AGAIN within hours 9 replies
Since Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter was officially announced, stalwart advocates of free speech have been testing the water to discover just how much of an impact the billionaire has had until the privatization is finalized later this year, and for Mike Lindell, there’s been no change.The MyPillow founder and CEO was in attendance at the most recent Save America rally in Greenwood, Neb., headlined by former President Donald Trump when he decided to share a special announcement. While talking with Right Side Broadcasting Network, he was pleased to tell viewers at home that, after more than a year of remaining banned from the social media platform, he had created
According to a new book by New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin released last week, “This Will Not Pass,” Mitch McConnell was exhilarated that, in his mind, President Trump had “finally, totally discredited himself” following the January 6 protests.McConnell was never a fan of Trump or his voters. It was McConnell and Paul Ryan who blocked funds to build a border wall. It was McConnell and the Senate Republicans who failed to even open discussion on Obamacare after they all ran against the catastrophic health care law.

Much to the horror of the jab pushing left, Fox & Friends Sunday co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy revealed that one reason she did not attend the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday was that she had not consented to have even one needle shoved into her upper arm.“They tried to make a big deal. The event said you had to be vaccinated in order to attend,” she said on Sunday morning as the panel was discussing weekday host and guest Steve Doocy’s attendance at “America’s most distinguished superspreader event.”“I know because I was invited and I didn’t go for many reasons, but that was one of them,”

The resource-strapped Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reportedly took more than 20 minutes to respond when alleged antifa members assaulted a Saturday campaign event near police headquarters in downtown Portland.By the time officers had "sufficient resources" to establish a crime scene near Southwest 3rd and Main Street, the black-clad demonstrators had already dispersed after hurling smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons and fireworks, according to police. Two were injured by "mortars," police said. The protesters' violence cut short the event in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Stan Pulliam, whose platform includes refunding the police."This is what happens when a Republican dares to hold an event in Portland to talk about funding our police.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the recently announced head of the so-called Disinformation Governance Board, Nina Jankowicz was a “tremendous authority.”Anchor Bret Baier said, “The president picked to lead this is Nina Jankowicz. She is taking heat for tweets and comments about major news stories, the Hunter Biden laptop story, others. The laptop story obviously was blocked from social media outlets because it was called Russian propaganda until it wasn’t. Do you really think Jankowicz is anywhere near objective enough for this particular job?”
Mayorkas said, “Yes, I do, and by the way, highly regarded
The first days of returning to school after the COVID-19 pandemic were overwhelming. Like other educators across the country, those of us working in Albemarle County, Va., public schools were suddenly faced with fresh challenges that required our full attention and energy: implementing new health and safety procedures, helping students who had fallen behind academically during virtual learning and doing our very best to restore a productive learning environment for all.It was at this exact time our school district decided to introduce controversial policies and mandatory teacher training based on critical race theory. The goal was laudable — to “become an anti-racist school system” — but the curriculum,
The same leftists who claimed social media isn’t censoring conservatives are melting down over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter. Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion dollars last week and the left is not taking it well. Musk has stated that he believes ‘free speech’ on social media should match the law of the country.“I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law,” Musk said.The Biden Regime is so frightened over Musk’s decision to buy Twitter that they responded by creating an Orwellian, unconstitutional “Ministry of Truth.”Twitter censored the Hunter Biden laptop story shortly before the 2020 election so Joe Biden is working overtime to make sure
Twitter's new king Elon Musk dished out some stock-buying tips to his 89 million followers on his social media platform, telling them to 'buy stock in companies that you believe in,' and then took a jab at passive investing by big institutions as the market teeters. The Tesla CEO, who paid $44 billion for Twitter last week, tweeted early Sunday: 'Buy stock in several companies that make products and services that you believe in.'
'Only sell if you think their products and services are trending worse. Don't panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term,' he added,
Naomi Judd's daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, both broke down in tears during a ceremony to induct their late mother into the Country Music Hall of Fame - just 24 hours after her passing. She was 76.Judd, who publicly admitted her struggles with 'extreme depression,' died from 'the disease of mental illness,' her daughters said in a statement Saturday. On Sunday, the pair cited a bible verse and lamented that Naomi Judd, who performed for years with Wynonna as 'The Judds,' hadn't lived to receive the honor herself.'My mama loved you so much,' Ashley Judd said to the crowd gathered. 'And I'm sorry that she couldn't hang on until today,'

it will make company ‘whiter, more male-dominated’ 62 replies
Employees of the tech giant Apple are revolting against a plan to get staff back into the office for three days a week, claiming it will make the company “younger, whiter and more male-dominated”. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, has said his proposed “hybrid working pilot” for US, Europe and UK employees is an attempt to balance the corporate benefits of in-office working with the personal advantages that working from home gives staff members. A group of US-based Apple employees have formed an organisation dubbed “Apple Together” and claim the initiative is “only driven by fear”. The unnamed staff have sent
All Hillary Schubach wanted to do is something good for the environment. But after switching to driving a plug-in electric sedan, she quickly realized a new complication of apartment living: Access to a charging station. Schubach’s hardly alone. Even as it appears electric car sales are hitting a tipping point, those living in apartments and condominiums around the nation can find it difficult, expensive or outright impossible to find a way to plug in when they’re at home. With nearly one out of three households living in apartments or condominiums, the goal of switching to electric vehicles to fight climate
An innovative face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions and slow down climate change, has won a prestigious design award. The wearable device for cattle, created by UK-based design group Zelp, was one of the four winners of the inaugural Terra Cart Design Lab competition. Prince Charles, who launched the competition as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative, hailed the ground-breaking design as "fascinating" at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday, The Telegraph reported. The design, a smart harness for cows, converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Cows expel significant quantities of methane, an odorless
Jill Biden is not an inherently interesting person. She’s been a teacher for some decades now, wrote an undistinguished thesis to get a meaningless Ed.D., and now functions as her husband’s nursemaid. She also lacks charm. And, of course, she’s White. Why someone thought a biography of her would be interesting is impossible to understand although a biography that took two people to write hit the market this past week—and completely bombed. (snip) Julie Page and Darlene Superville, both of whom are AP reporters, thought there was something there, something people would pay $26 for a hardback to learn about.
Kathy Boudin, a radical leftist convicted in the fatal Brink's robbery who went on to help former inmates, and the mother of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, died Sunday afternoon at her home in New York, according to a statement from the district attorney's office, and reports from the San Francisco Chronicle and other news outlets. (snip) Kathy Boudin, Gilbert and other members of the organization worked in conjunction with the Revolutionary Armed Task Force and the Black Liberation Army to partake in a robbery of $1.6 million in a Brink’s armored car at the Nanuet Mall in New York.
Russia threatened a dramatic escalation of its war in Ukraine Thursday when Russia’s Channel One featured a video depicting Russian missiles reaching Berlin, Paris, and London.According to the UK’s Express, Channel One’s 60 Minutes program, one of the most popular TV shows in Russia, featured “the chairman of the nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov,” who “suggested Russia could launch a Sarmat missile attack on the UK.” This was not, however, Zhuravlyov’s eccentric view: “Producers then cut to a map of Kaliningrad and seemed to suggest that missiles could be launched from the Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea.”
Zhuravlyov declared: “One Sarmat [missile] and that’s it
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Disinformation Governance Board would not infringe on free speech or monitor Americans.Anchor Dana Bash said, “Let’s talk about what your department is calling, The Disinformation Governance Board that you unveiled this week. Republicans are calling it Orwellian and comparing it to the ministry of truth in the novel 1984. Can you clarify what exactly is this? What exactly will this disinformation governance board do? Will it monitor American citizens? ”Mayorkas said, “Dana, I’m very pleased to do so. It’s clear, I mean, those criticisms are precisely the opposite of what this

as Investigation into ‘Rust’ Shooting Continues 25 replies
Actor Alec Baldwin pushed gun control Friday just months after Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in an on set sequence in which Baldwin was holding the gun.
In a Friday Instagram post, the Boss Baby star wrote “We regulate many things in this country in the interest of public health and safety. Drugs, cars, professional licenses, etc. We need gun control reform. Now.”
Alec Baldwin did not describe the kinds of “gun control reform” that he wants to see, but he did post video in which numerous shots rang out near a South Carolina little league baseball game on Monday.
The New York Times is running a three-part expose of Fox News show host Tucker Carlson. sub-titled “American Nationalist,” delivered by a staggering ten-person research/reporting crew led by reporter Nicholas Confessore, including an exhaustive analysis of 1150 episodes of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that ran from November 2016 through 2021.
Confessore relied on anonymous sourcing and hostile characterizations of the host’s populist- conservative opinions to bluntly declare both his show and Carlson himself as racist. The headline to Part 1, blared on Sunday's front page, set the tone for this extraordinarily long and completely hostile series, one of the longest things your scribe can remember reading from the Times: “How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney reportedly likes to go incognito while in Palm Beach, Florida.
The Utah conservative has been wearing hats while dining out in the wealthy oceanside enclave, where he has a vacation home, in an effort to disguise himself, a family friend told the authors of the new book "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future."
"If he were recognized by Trump supporters there, there was a good chance he would be harassed," New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns wrote. Former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is also in Palm Beach.
