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

The noble, honorable and ancient peoples of Greater China are highly offended by this affront to our honor! Vietnam must destroy this threat to peaceful unity and harmony on the Chinese continent or we shall be forced to destroy it.

Ok now in all seriousness, I visited Vietnam recently as a tourist and found it amusing in the primary museum they have about the war that they never mention the US directly but only talk about the Imperialists and Western Invaders. Food was good, people were short, streets were as dirty as most big western cities, no one bothered us, lots of bikes, not as many tall buildings but otherwise could have been any smaller western city.

At Portsmouth, England they have the Spinnaker Tower, and it has a section of glass floor. We stood on it. Slightly uncomfortable, with no belay. My wife and I have done rock walls which were higher than the Spinnaker Tower, and working a high rock face can be a bit challenging to focus on the task literally in front of you, rather than the 700 ft of air underneath you. But then, we had ropes and harnesses belaying us if we fell. Never fell, never tested the protection. We haven't done any serious climbing since the 90s or so, getting a bit old for that sort of thing. Walking backwards off the lip of a cliff while rappelling is "interesting". Always check you anchors,ropes and harnesses and connections multiple times. Not completely put off by the glass floor - but I don't trust third world engineering very much, frankly. And don't need to stand on a glass floor. Been there, done that, the box is checked already.

Some of the most high-profile liberal figures have joined together to encourage advertisers to boycott Twitter if Elon Musk brings in his promised policy of unfettered 'free speech.'Twenty six NGOs and advocacy groups signed a letter expressing concern about the world's richest man's plan. Musk himself responded to the letter asking who funded them: the answer being an assortment of 'dark money groups' like George Soros's Open Society Foundation; NGOs founded by former Clinton and Obama administration staffers; wealthy Democrat donors and their family foundations; labor unions; and the governments of European nations.

Democrats and media personalities on Tuesday acknowledged Donald Trump’s impact on Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance’s GOP primary win.In April, Trump endorsed Vance. Polling showed Trump’s immediate impact on the race, and Vance never looked back.Tom Nichols, a contributing writer for the Atlantic, gave Trump the credit for Vance’s win in the hotly contested primary. “I am torn by Schadenfreude about Vance vs Mandel; two truly terrible people who both stuck their heads deep into Donald Trump’s colon, and only one of them could win, so I was gonna hate it no matter who won, but my God, both souls went for bargain basement rates,” he said.

Whoever leaked Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in a crucial abortion-rights case violated a key tenet of the Supreme Court — and might even have committed a crime, legal experts said Tuesday.“It is a core, central principle of working there to keep everything confidential,” said Washington, DC, lawyer Bill Burck, a former federal prosecutor who clerked for former Justice Anthony Kennedy..If the leaker is a clerk — or even one of the court’s nine justices — “it’s hard to see how a crime was committed” because the document isn’t classified and they’d have a right to possess it, Burck said.

As the fallout over the dramatic alleged Supreme Court leak to Politico continues, takes are coming in from every angle, and commentator Mark Levin hasn’t missed out on an opportunity to weigh in either.Speaking on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday, Levin attacked the leak itself as a “grave assault” on the integrity of the institution of the Supreme Court of the United States. There’s been speculation that the leak was intended to intimidate justices planning on overturning Roe v. Wade (1973), though as of writing there’s no proof as to who the culprit is (but plenty of speculation), or even if the leak is legitimate.

Following the unprecedented leak of a Supreme Court initial majority draft opinion to undo Roe v. Wade huge controversies begin to surface! The document, first obtained by Politico, outlined the potential demise of the landmark 1973 ruling. The revelation sent shockwaves across the nation. Protesters gathered at the fenced-off Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on Monday night. The leak is likely the product of an ideologically leftist law clerk seeking either to halt a nixing of the abortion ban or to engender support for court-packing, Alan Dershowitz told Fox News.

The Walt Disney Co. has lost nearly $63 billion in market capitalization since it decided in March to embrace radical LGBTQ activism and declare war on Florida by opposing the state’s Parental Rights in Education law. Shares of Disney have plummeted 23.5 percent since the start of March, falling from $145.70. Market cap is down $62.6 billion, from $265.3 to $202.7 billion. For the past 12 months, Disney has seen its stock drop more than 30 percent, making it the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Disney’s free fall comes as the company has embraced woke, far-left politics, specifically the exposure of young children to radical LGBTQ ideology.
