SIERRA VISTA — A national survey of 201 cities ranks Sierra Vista as the tenth best place to work for employees in the technology industry in 2016. SmartAsset, an online financial service based in New York City, points to the average salary paid to local tech workers and the lower cost of living as two primary reasons Sierra Vista earned a spot in the top 10 this year. It the first time in the three-year history of the survey that any city in Arizona has earned a spot in the top 10.

Josie Valadez Fraire knew that protesting a Donald Trump event could end with her arrest. But she couldn’t have guessed that she would soon be locked in handcuffs and hauled away by police ostensibly for carrying a sacred indigenous object. Fraire, 22, who is Xicana (Chicana) and a member of MEChA, a national Chicano/a activist student organization, attended a protest outside of the Colorado Convention Center in Denver on Friday. Inside, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, was scheduled to speak at the Western Conservative Summit. But outside on the street, Denver Police, donned in riot gear, had set...

The world’s largest viking ship has arrived in North America after crossing the North Atlantic Ocean on a journey from its homeport in Haugesund, Norway. The Viking ship, named Draken Harald Hårfagre, set sail from Norway with its approximately 32 crew members in late April and made stops in Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland, Canada, before making its way through the Saint Lawrence Seaway to Toronto for the Tall Ships Challenge Great Lakes 2016 festival this weekend. Future stops for the Viking ship include Chicago, Green Bay and Duluth, before heading to U.S. east coast with stops in New York City...

Sometimes you see weird stuff on Youtube during court sentencing, but this one takes the cake. Convict Ricky Hand, 46, was in court this past Wednesday to receiving sentencing for participating in multiple "armed" robberies. Either he didn't want his freedom, or he wanted to be locked up because any sensible citizen knows you just don't do that. Hand blamed drugs for his crime "fetish." Well, the judge didn't find it funny nor did he think Hand should get a slap on the wrist as pulling a weapon to steal and placing lives in danger is not a ticket to...

Democratic National Committee documents leaked by a hacker Tuesday reveal that Hillary Clinton’s requirements to give a speech included a private flight and a luxurious presidential hotel suite. One of the documents leaked is a form filled out by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Foundation for the Harry Walker Agency. The Harry Walker Agency is a speaker’s bureau, which represented Hillary Clinton. On top of the $225,000 fee for her 20 minute speech, the agency gave the UNLV Foundation “standard travel expenses” for Clinton. This “include[s] a chartered roundtrip private air transportation (e.g., a Gulfstream 450 or larger jet),...

Ever since I woke up this morning I have been unusually bothered by my unexpected questioning of my response to the one great ethical dilemma in my life. This event took place, oddly enough, on April Fools day, 1997 which means that now it is nearly 20 years old. I had a little talk with God at the time asking Him if this was His idea of an April Fools joke on me. I am still interested in discussing this issue with Him when I finally meet Him Sandal to face.Even though it is now 20 years past, I sense...

A lesbian couple featured in a BuzzFeed video on “gender non-conforming” parenting is trying to force their son to have a “queer” relationship with his gender despite his protests. “It’s really funny, because he’s like super into sports,” Michelle said. “Maybe he was like an Olympic athlete in his past life. He like, came with all of these sporting talents that are like visible at 17 months. That’s what Dashiell liked growing up. She easily relates to him on that level.” “I’m constantly like trying to queer my relationship with him and get him to wear tutus. He hates it....

Now I've seen everything. Is not enough that the Democrats tried to kick God off their platform back in 2008 or how the Democrats have removed God out of the public schools along with the Pledge of Allegiance, now they're adding witch doctors at the Trump rally. Can somebody please fix America quickly? The more you see how the liberal left is loony, the more you have to realize your vote is the most important thing that you will do come November. You see what the rioters are doing to Americans who have voiced their opinion at the ballot box...

Let me start off by saying any news anchor that thinks they will get a straight and truthful answer from anyone in the Obama administration has to be as dumb as the day is long. Why even attempt to ask anyone one in government a question like this when they've been lying to the American people for years. Is ridiculous how we who use common sense can peep out when the mainstream media is pushing their agenda once again. No this is not a conflict of interest for me, for the department or for anyone. We will continue to do...

The Following are hate letters made by liberals mainly anti-trump lefties.  First: from pottyjesus666@hotmail.com I am from the Portsmouth NH area. I work nearby and live in Newington. When I find you I'm gonna beat the daylights out of you in public and piss all over you while you lay there twitching. F**K DONALD TRUMP! Bernie 2016! Next, we have one from redbrigadestreetfighters@hotmail.com F**K you right wing fascist! Donald Trump is worse than Hitler and Goebels. My grandfather was a German Communist who fought brownshirts like you back in the 20s and fought you in Spain! I'll take up his...

Has anyone else but me noticed a sudden change in advertising commercials on TV? Recently I saw a commercial selling some junk and there was a married couple depicted as a perky white blonde girl married to a slovenly, Arabic-looking guy with a full muzzie beard. I don't even know what they were selling but they looked so out of place together I could never imagine such a couple happening in real life. It would be like a show with Queen Elizabeth married to Bob Marley. It just was not realistic-looking and so unbelievable it distracted from whatever the commercial...

There's no way that this nation should be run by people who think like this. I'm surprised that we've and let them vote. It seems like they don't have the capacity to critical think and come up with a solution that will benefit all or solve a problem. If you were here with me right now as I am writing this up, you would see that I am very angry. It doesn't take that much to use your brain as American to see that these attacks are motivated by a certain belief that America must be wiped out and replaced....

Like most of the anti-gun politicians, former President Bill Clinton has an opinion on guns and "what if" situations that do not line up with reality or facts. The moderator asks Clinton his reaction to the idea that if there had been more people armed with guns inside the club in Orlando it wouldn't have been as bad a tragedy. Bill Clinton: Did you see how dark it was?

The U.S. Air Force Lost 12 Years Of Investigations Thanks To A Corrupted Computer File The U.S. Air Force Inspector General tracks all their investigations on fraud, abuse, and everything else down to office disputes in a database maintained by Lockheed Martin. Now it looks like somebody broke it, destroying data collected since 2004. Defense One and others are reporting that the USAF lost its records of 100,000 investigations in their Automated Case Tracking System due to some kind of file corruption that neither Lockheed Martin or the Air Force have been able to figure out. Apparently Lockheed Martin spent...

Despite the tone of America's current presidential campaigns, it is, in fact, 2016. In theory, companies should understand the kinds of actions that might be interpreted as racist or sexist. Unless, of course, those companies make laundry detergent in Italy or China. Or unless they're Fiat. Alas, Fiat has learned that the hard way, after facing serious backlash over an owner's manual distributed to customers in Argentina. Most startlingly, the manual assumed that cars would always be driven by men, with women only riding as "co-pilots" in the passenger's seat or back seat. It also assumed that women don't know...

In an armchair experiment where humans are thought of as no wiser than animals, scientists have found that climate change could empty some nations by 2100. A warming of 2 degrees Celsius would cause 34 percent of the world’s population to migrate more than 300 miles, to places on the fringes of the tropics where the temperatures are milder. Dramatic population declines might occur in Mexico, Central America, Africa and India. The results were published today in Scientific Reports. The scientists are cautious about the predictive power of their thought experiment, particularly as it relates to humans. People, unlike animals,...
