Flight Stowaway Should Raise Feds’ Eyebrows and
Fears
When
United Express flight 6060 landed at Dulles Airport, after leaving Charlotte,
N.C. on Sunday, the Dulles baggage-handling crew discovered one of their
kindred inside the cargo hold along with the rest of the checked bags. The man
spent the entire one hour and 22-minute flight in the hold keeping a close eye
on the baggage, if not the cargo door. Reginald Gaskin’s impromptu journey took
him to an altitude of 27,000 feet, but fortunately for him the cargo hold is
both pressurized and temperature controlled. Dulles authorities were alerted to
his misadventure when the ramp servicing company contacted the tower to tell
security they were one short when the roll was called. Gaskin is not an
employee of United, but instead works for G2 Secure Staff. He was wearing his
uniform and had some company identification, but said his personal
identification was back in his Charlotte airport locker. This is of concern to
airport authorities for two reasons. First is the security question. The TSA
and the FAA don’t want just anyone sleeping with your bags as the cargo flies
through the air. [more...]
Obama’s
Chicagoland War Zone
Obama
often lectures us about “Black Lives Matter.” But do they matter to Obama or
his fellow Democrats? Obama and his Democrat friends have controlled Chicago
for a half century. It is now more like a Middle East war zone than the
heartland of America. It is more Kabul than Kansas. Over the past three holiday
weekends, we saw unimaginable violence and murder on the streets of Chicago.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, 61 Chicagoans were shot, nine killed. Over Christmas
weekend, 60 Chicagoans were shot, 11 killed. On New Year’s Day alone, 28
Chicagoans were shot - the first one at 1:05 a.m. Happy New Year - we just set
another all-time record! In total, Chicago saw 3,550 shootings and a remarkable
762 murders in 2016. Murders are up more than 50 percent from 2015 and have
nearly doubled since 2013.... and it’s spiraling out of control. [more...]
Crime
Takes a Social Media Turn
By
James
Hirsen
The
nation recently watched in horror as a Facebook Live post displayed for all to
see four young people hold a mentally-disabled individual captive, repeatedly
humiliate him, and subject him to torture. The defendants, who are 18-years-old
or older, are accused of multiple felonies, including hate crimes. Each, in
addition to the hate crime count, has been charged with felony aggravated
kidnapping, aggravated unlawful restraint, and aggravated battery with a deadly
weapon. Facebook has officially stated that the site will “prohibit content
deemed to be directly harmful….” However, this case will potentially challenge
the social media giant and other web concerns to alter policies, particularly
regarding the use of platforms such as Facebook Live, which is a highly-
promoted feature on Facebook and a significant part of the site’s future
business plans. [more...]
Mars,
Inc. Solidifies Leadership Position as Pet Care Provider
Odds
are when you buy a candy bar at the store, you are buying a Mars Brand. Mars
Inc., the sixth largest privately held company in the U.S., has been a
household name for decades. The well-known manufacturer of confectionery brands
such as Milky Way, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, M&M’s, and of course the Mars
bar, is much more than just a candy maker. Aside from owning the Wrigley gum
brand, Mars is a leading global manufacturer of pet food. [more...]
How
the Obama Administration Has Emboldened the Palestinian Death Cult
By
Joseph
Klein
Thanks
to the anti-Israel United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334, which the
Obama administration shamefully permitted to pass without a veto, the
Palestinians have now been given the cover of so-called international law to
justify their actions. In their twisted minds, since the UN resolution claimed
the establishment of settlements by Israel, including in east Jerusalem, has
"no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under
international law," the Palestinians should have the “right” to kill any
Israeli residents and soldiers who are present where they do not belong. That
is not terrorism, according to this perverted logic. It is “heroic” resistance
against an international law breaker. And calling for such resistance is not
the incitement to commit acts of terror that the resolution condemned in
general terms. [more...]
Is
Trump in Control... or Out of Control?
Is
President-elect Donald Trump’s unique behavior calculated - or pure
seat-of-the-pants emotionalism? With all the talk about "draining the
swamp" during campaign, let's examine where the Trump presidency is
headed. Trump’s appointments are decidedly conventional, and therefore not
revolutionary. Yes, many are hardline and conservative on the political
spectrum, but they are not challenging the way Washington does business. Case
in point: Jay Clayton, a partner at the Wall Street white-shoe law firm
Sullivan & Cromwell, is to be the new chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which oversees Wall Street. Is that draining the swamp or
putting the fox in charge of the henhouse? [more...]
