Los Angeles’ LAX airport has probably been the least favorite airport for years. Immigration agents have not been as friendly as Atlanta, Seattle, Minneapolis and nearly any other major city. The airport was falling apart and the systems always seemed to be down.
Hats off to LAX now. They’ve done a good job of cleaning up that airport and making it somewhere people could eat, relax, or even shop in between their flights.
Looking forward to the next LA trip. Next, they just have to fix the traffic.
I’m not really that much of a sushi guy, like I used to be. However, discovered 24 hour sushi restaurants in Tokyo’s Tsukuji last weekend and wondered how you can miss something when you pass it nearly every day.
(BrightCitizen.com) Like most Americans, many world leaders have lost respect for Barak Obama..The lame-duck US president infamous for championing trans-sexual bathrooms in the US criticized President Duterte’s leadership and tough stance against drug dealers and pushers in his home country.
But the Filipino leader did not take kindly to that notion, saying Obama had better think twice about raising the issue of the killings. “Who does he think he is? I am no American puppet. I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people,” Duterte scoffed in a speech Monday. “Son of a b****, I will swear at you.”
Drugs are a major issue in the world and world ledader
The Philippines War On Drugs Since Duterte was elected, more than 1,900 people have died, including at least 700 in police operations that were part of the president’s hardline war on drugs. “Double your efforts. Triple them, if need be. We will not stop until the last drug lord, the last financier, and the last pusher have surrendered or put behind bars — or below the ground, if they so wish,” Duterte said during his State of the Nation speech on July 25.
Obama Also Snubbed By The Chinese Dueterte was not the only world leader to blow off Barak Obama. Chinese took away the red carpet when the US president’s plane arrived at the airport. They did other things to show their displeasure with the incompetent leader’s visit.
We recognize no government is perfect, but American leadership is not exactly leading by example recently. We have not seen such disliked (and many times hated) politicians in our lifetimes.
When you see a picture like this, whether the leader knows what he is doing or not, confidence and showing that you know how to do the right thing really makes the people confident as well. That confidence flows into business and the economy as people are not fearful about the future. We were thankful for a president like Ronald Reagan and pray (and do our best to assure) we will get a good president in the Whitehouse and good leaders that can work together in Washington DC.
