Airlines Facing Trouble Due to Terrorism

Airlines Facing Trouble Due to Terrorism

Airline travel changed a great deal after 9-11. Massive changes were made to both internal and external security apparatus and infrastructure. Over the years, people complained, but they began to feel safe. While some airlines continued to struggle, many did well, enjoying an increase in overall customers and key market segments, particularly leisure travelers.

How Ironic: 15 Bucks an Hour to Protest Against Trump!

How ironic is it that the organized Left is offering, to quote Bernie Sanders, “15 bucks an hour” to protest against Donald J. Trump. For all those who think that these protests are spontaneous, think again. While I may not be a Trump supporter, per se, I would like to highlight the Left’s dirty little tricks.

So, when we see violent protests occurring around the country we must remember that the Left is rather adept at this tactic. If you want to see exactly how they have done it with regard to the so-called Occupy Wall Street movement, I strongly recommend you watch "Occupy Unmasked." This is straight out of the pages of Saul Alinsky’s work, which was venerated by none other than Hillary (Rodham) Clinton.

It is time that all of us take some notice of the great plan that the founding fathers set in motion for this country.

SpaceX Continues to Push the Boundaries and Succeed

SpaceX continues to push the boundaries and succeed

One of the greatest unforeseen results of the space race is that it made the impossible feel routine. For anyone not inside Mission Control, a shuttle launch was news, but it ceased to be Must See TV. Then, without much fanfare, shuttle launches became a thing of the past. Routine got mothballed, and Americans lost their wonder, their thirst for exploration outside this planet. But a few intrepid entrepreneurs are seeking to change that. Their companies are finding success and reigniting that American thirst for making the impossible routine.

Are Apple’s Struggles Related to Jobs?

Are Apple's Struggles Jobs Related?

Apple just suffered its first disappointing quarter in the market equivalent of forever. Sluggish iPhone sales have investors raising eyebrows at the chicest consumer tech company in the biz. How bad has it gotten at Apple? Well, the first sales decline in 13 years motivated a massive selloff that dropped the company’s market value by roughly $43 billion. Yes, with a “B”.

Policy Proposal to Arm the Teachers

http://davidfirester.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/policy-proposal-to-arm-the-teachers/



Topic:
The provision of concealed firearms to teachers in rural/suburban schools elementary schools.

Issue Overview:
In light of the recent massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut, as well as other contemporary tragedies of a similar sort, policy makers are tasking analysts with evaluating varying forms of legislation that seek to diminish the scale of carnage associated with such forms of mass violence.  Specifically, the area of concern regards elementary and middle schools in rural/suburban areas where police response time may be slow and/or ineffective.
