Houston, TX—Like many people I believe in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. There is no question in my mind that Americans have the absolute right to keep and carry arms everywhere. Politicians and some courts differ with this as they attempt to violate Americans rights under color of law. Saying that, mentioning the foolishness of civilians openly carrying firearms must be discussed and debated. The debate about the law here is long over for me. Open carry or any carry is the law of the land. The debate about the wisdom of open carrying in an urban setting must continue. Just because you can carry openly should you? I say that open carry is incredibly problematic and will put you ...

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, June 9 (UPI) -- A duckling trapped on the embankment of a pond at a Netherlands Zoo escaped with a little help from its friends -- a pair of hippopotamuses. A visitor to the Rotterdam Zoo -- locally known as the Diergaarde Blijdorp -- filmed the small duck repeatedly attempting to jump from the embankment to the shore, but falling short of making it over a short barrier. The footage, posted to YouTube, shows the duckling is soon joined by a pair of hippos, which appear to startle the bird as it attempts to avoid the much larger animals. However, rather than make a meal out of the duckling, the hippos use their snouts to the give the baby duck a boost and help it ...

I'm just afraid of being blindsided again. - WTF Freddie My dear Freddie, I'm sorry that you got the dreaded "see ya ...

Want...Around 8,000 Chinese students were expelled from US schools in 2014, according to WholeRen, a Pennsylvania-based education consultancy, cited in the Chengdu News.

These were not necessarily the primary cause for their expulsion, however. Twenty-three percent of the expelled students were kicked out for cheating, ...

In regards to drugs, they actually now have less of a negative impact on society in Portugal than they ...

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby plans to seek a protective order that would block the release of Freddie Gray's autopsy report and other "sensitive" documents as she prosecutes the six police officers involved in his arrest.. Mosby told The Baltimore Sun that prosecutors "have a duty to ensure a fair and impartial process for all parties involved" and "will not be baited into litigating this case through the media." But an attorney for one of the officers said the effort shows that "there is something in that autopsy report that they are trying to hide."

PressTV... A new study has revealed that a tiny species of birds can distract nest predators by mimicking hawk alarm calls made by other species, warning the attackers that much bigger raptorial birds are around. The six-gram thornbills have evolved a technique that enables them to mimic the goshawk alarm calls produced by other small neighboring species in order to scare away nest raiders such as currawongs, read the research conducted by scientists at the University of Cambridge and the Australian National University (ANU) and published on Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Pied currawongs, 40 times bigger than a thornbill, are sensitive to hawk alarm calls made ...

IRVINE, Calif., May 26 (UPI) -- Researchers say the key to making new friends is all in the mouth. Show your shiny whites, and friendships are easier to come by. The reason smiling is key to new and healthy relationships is that people are more attune to positive emotions when they're forming new relationships. In a new study on emotional cues and relationship formation, researchers were able to show the importance of positive emotions (like smiling) via two experiments. One experiment showed that couples were able to accurately track each other's positive emotions. The other showed that people watching a movie with a stranger were more likely to feel a kinship toward him or ...

WACO — Richie was the first to die, then Diesel, then Dog. Whatever else they were in life, the men with the biker nicknames were Cossacks, loud and proud and riders in a Texas motorcycle gang. And that’s what got them killed, shot to death in a brawl with a rival gang in the parking lot of a Texas “breastaurant” that advertised hot waitresses and cold beer. “I saw the first three of our guys fall, and we started running,” said their brother-in-arms, another Cossack, who said he was there a week ago when the shooting started at the Twin Peaks restaurant. The Cossack, president of a North Texas chapter of the motorcycle gang, asked not to be identified ...

Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation, said the museum would continue to keep the stone as a curiosity. "It's a good story, with some questions that are still unanswered," she said.
