NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Superintendent Shaun Ferguson chastised journalists Tuesday (July 26) for reporting on the New Orleans Police Department’s worsening manpower problems instead of more “positive” news. But even the chief admitted one of the NOPD’s latest personnel losses was especially disturbing. Scott Fanning, a third-year officer assigned to the Eighth District policing the French Quarter and Central Business District, walked off the job last Friday in the middle of his night watch shift, notifying a supervisor by text message that he was quitting the force. “It was disheartening,” Ferguson said at a news conference at NOPD headquarters, ”especially...

After 38 years working in the Information Technology / Information Security fields, I've had enough.It's not that I hate my job (I don't) and it's not that I don't like the people I work with (I do. I think of them as family.) I just cannot stand the thought of my hard earned tax dollars going to support the most corrupt, crooked, tyrannical, incompetent, inept and damn' it, STUPID and STOLEN Presidency there ever has been, and ever will be, the Biden Crime Family.I've informed my employer, a global financial services organization that I'm pulling the plug on August 31st.I...

So it’s come to this. The PA (Palestinian Authority) is upset with us…so upset that its leaders are threatening to cut ties with us here in the United States.

I see nothing but good. Are we supposed to be afraid? I think Freud...

FORT HOOD, Texas -- A soldier who fled before his second deployment to Iraq pleaded guilty Thursday to desertion under a plea deal that will send him to military prison for less than a year. "I quit the Army, I quit my unit, and I did not show up when I needed to," Spc. Mark Wilkerson told a military judge during his sentencing hearing. Wilkerson, 23, surrendered at Fort Hood in August -- about a year and a half after failing to return from an approved two-week leave -- saying he was tired of running and wanted to move forward...

The strictest monastic order in Christendom has opened its cloisters to a film director for the first time, allowing him to shoot a three-hour near-silent documentary about its life.What some critics feared would be this year's most boring movie turns out to be a strangely fascinating meditation on the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps.Into Great Silence depicts its Carthusian monks in the midst of their slow moving daily devotions and duties, from mending shoes to chopping vegetables.There are even rare moments of jollity: two monks sliding down a snowy slope in their white habits, laughing hysterically, and an...
