Men ordered not to look at women during Ramadan in Iran as hardliners tighten control amid nuclear deal row
"Men in Iran have been ordered not to look at women during Ramadan as part of a round of draconian restrictions imposed by the increasingly isolated regime.
In a sign of frustration with growing civil discontent and economic pain caused by US sanctions, hardliners in Iran's government are forcing through unusually strict social diktats to bring people into line.
The country's judiciary has announced that those eating in public during the fasting period are also in breach of laws and will be prosecuted..."

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming--James George shared a link.
"Celebrities who lecture on climate change while flying private luxury jets are like televangelists who proclaim that alcohol, gambling, and adultery will lead you straight to hell, and then get caught drunk walking into a casino with a prostitute on each arm."

Feds Release 168,000 Illegal Immigrants Into U.S. Amid Record-Breaking Month For Border Crossings | Daily Wire

Feds Release 168,000 Illegal Immigrants Into U.S. Amid Record-Breaking Month For Border Crossings | Daily Wire:

The most astounding statistic in the report, though, may be that the Department of Homeland Security estimates that "1% of the populations of Guatemala and Honduras have made the journey north to the U.S. and jumped the border in just the past seven months," according to statement made earlier this week by acting DHS secretary Kevin McAleenan.
The Washington Times reports that, if the record-breaking trend continues (and it has shown no sign of slowing in the first two weeks of May), by the end of this year, 2% of the populations of Guatemala and Honduras may have immigrated to the United States.

Mark-Jo Bulow - To all the school kids going on 'strike' for...
"To all the school kids going on 'strike' for Climate Change:
You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom.
You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised.
You spend all day and night on electronic devices.
More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke local roads and worsen rush hour traffic.
You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy,
Your entertainment comes from electric devices.
Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.
The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.
How about this...
Tell your teachers to switch off the air-con.
Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book.
Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.
No, none of this will happen because you are selfish, badly educated, virtue signalling little 'princesses', inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a 'noble cause' while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.
Wake up, grow up and learn to research facts and think for yourself and not blindly accept the words and thoughts of others - I don't think you formulated this action plan all by your self - suspect you may have had some influence and 'guidance' from those you trust ....a word of warning, be cautious of the influence of the 'left' because there may be a time in the future that you will be the ones left out."

Boeing must get the 737 Max approved for flight around the world - CNN

Boeing must get the 737 Max approved for flight around the world - CNN
"Boeing's future rides on the success of the 737 Max.
But all of those planes remain grounded, waiting for the world's aviation regulators to approve a software fix that will make them safer to fly.
The 737 Max does not appear close to flying again.
Aviation experts doubt global regulators will act in concert to approve the 737 Max for flight, because serious questions remain about how and why the FAA approved the 737 Max for flight and whether it rushed the certification process.
The world's aviation authorities have lost confidence in the US Federal Aviation Administration. 
...The 737 Max is by far Boeing's bestselling plane, with orders for 5,000 of the workhorse single aisle jet on its books.
Boeing's profit fell 21% last quarter because it halted 737 Max orders during grounding, and it has to reimburse airlines that have to use alternate planes.
Boeing has already spent at least $1 billion on a software fix it hopes can get the planes back in the air..."

Former Boeing Engineers Say Relentless Cost-Cutting Sacrificed Safety - Bloomberg

Former Boeing Engineers Say Relentless Cost-Cutting Sacrificed Safety - Bloomberg:

• The failures of the 737 Max appear to be the result of an emphasis on speed, cost, and above all shareholder value.

"...Boeing got what it wanted: Pilots moving from a 737-800 to the 737 Max would need at most Level B training, which they could complete in an hour or two on an iPad. 
That let airlines deploy the $120 million plane more quickly.
For Boeing, it was an important selling point that gave customers one less reason to defect to its European rival Airbus SE.
...—the pressure and maneuvering around simulator training has struck Ludtke as essential to understanding how an emphasis on costs twisted a process that’s supposed to produce the best, safest planes.
“They could have done better and should have done better, but better wasn’t an option,” says Ludtke..."

Google 'Top Stories' dominated by 'left leaning sources' CNN, New York Times, Washington Post - Washington Times
"A new study from the Computational Journalism Lab at Northwestern found that many of Google’s top hits for news searches came from just a handful of left-leaning sources.
...Their data showed that 86% of Google’s Top Stories came from only 20 news sources. 
Just three dominated the coverage, with 23% of all impressions counted — CNN with 10.9%, The New York Times with 6.5% and The Washington Post with 5.6%.
Fox News, which was ranked fourth, only had 3%.
...What we do know is that Google’s algorithmic curation of news in search converts to real and substantial amounts of user attention and traffic.”
...they found that 62% of the impressions were from sources considered left-leaning and only 11% from right-leaning outlets..."
