Earthquake shakes Los Angeles
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 9/18/2021 6:46:36 PM
A minor earthquake shook the City of Angels on Friday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The agency reported a magnitude of 4.3 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale with an epicenter in Carson, Calif., which is Los Angeles County. The 15-second-long temblor caused a Marathon Petroleum refinery to lose power and resort to dramatic flaring, scaring locals, the Los Angeles Times reported. There are about five quakes per year that rank between 4.0 and 5.0 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, the paper said. There were no immediate reported of injuries or damage, the Associated Press reported.

Deplorable D.C. Jail Conditions 9 replies
Family members of January 6 protesters who are or have been incarcerated at the Washington, DC, jail shared disturbing accounts of alleged mistreatment by authorities during Saturday’s “Justice for J6” rally.
“Last night for dinner, they were served four pieces of white bread, a cookie, and a packet of tartar sauce,” claimed a woman who went by “Kelly.”
Kelly is reportedly the girlfriend of Jonathan Mellis, who was among the protesters who entered the Capitol building on January 6. She claimed Mellis, who has been in jail for months, is being held in solitary confinement.
“I think America needs to become very well versed in the treatment of these men.
For the third straight week, college football fans have been heard breaking out in chants of “F*ck Joe Biden” as Biden’s presidency continues to spiral downward in the polls with a wave of crises and scandals such as the crisis on the border, unpopular forced vaccine mandates, a worsening economy, and out of control spending, not to mention the debacle in Afghanistan.
Fans unhappy with Biden’s actions plied the chant at the University of Kentucky on Saturday: [video]
The chant also rang out in Tennessee and Wyoming: [Videos]
Chants broke out a few weeks ago at games, including Coastal Carolina, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Texas A&M, and more.
Denmark has done something sensible – and remarkably, its left-wing politicians have been the ones promoting the measure – by proposing that migrants be required to work 37 hours a week in order to receive welfare benefits. If they refuse, they will be stripped of their benefits and, presumably, will either capitulate and go to work, or leave Denmark, in order to move to another European country that might take them in, or to return to their countries – overwhelmingly Muslim — of origin.
Sadly, There is No Cure For Stupid

To all of the folks out there that do absolutely stupid things in the name of Woke, we say, You are welcome.
To the Missouri college student who took down U.S. flags at a 9/11 memorial display at Washington University in St. Louis, You are Welcome. The display, put up by the WashU College Republicans, featured 2,977 flags, representing the lives lost in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Fadel Alkilani, a student leader at Washington University in St. Louis, who removed the flags, says that the 9/11 memorial display was “incomplete.” Alkilani claims it did nothing to call attention to the victims of Islamophobia in the U.S.
Mark Milley: Traitor?
12 replies
Everyone knows by now that a forthcoming Bob Woodward book alleges that General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), may have committed sedition during the Trump years. According to Woodward, Milley contacted the top Chinese general and assured him that everything was under control in spite of the eccentric Trump, that he (Milley) wouldn’t let Trump get us into war with China, and that he’d call them (the Chinese) if Trump were planning on that so there wouldn’t “be any surprises.”
If true, this is the biggest politico-military bombshell in American history. MacArthur was insubordinate with Truman,
Mr. Kimmel,
During your show on 8 September 2021, you commented on the shortage of ICU beds, saying “Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes, come right on in, we’ll take care of you. Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy.” I take issue with your commentary for three primary reasons: 1) the comments appear to be racially discriminatory, 2) the comments are not founded in science and serve to further divide a country that, unfortunately, is taking medical advice from too many non-physicians, and 3) the suggestion that doctors should selectively treat patients is unethical.

Restoration work on Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is ready to begin.
Two years after a devastating fire destroyed the centuries-old roof of the building and sent its spire crashing down, officials on Saturday said work to secure the remains of the structure is complete, Reuters reported.
Carpenters, scaffolding experts, professional climbers, organ mechanics and others took part in the effort to shore up the Gothic landmark, The Associated Press reported. The effort included special temporary structures to secure the iconic towers, vaults and walls of the huge structure, and a special “umbrella” to protect it from the weather.
Friday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) ripped President Joe Biden and his administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Kennedy said the Biden administration “has an open border policy,” which has led to the crisis at the border. He asserted that trusting Biden with managing the border properly is like “trusting Harvey Weinstein with your daughter.”
“Look, I regret having to say this, but when it comes to illegal immigration, you just can’t trust the Biden administration. It would be like trusting Harvey Weinstein with your daughter,” Kennedy declared. “When it comes to illegal immigration, the Biden administration lies like they breathe. They’re like timeshare salesmen.
The Biden administration is planning to send thousands of migrants who have gathered under a bridge near a Texas border crossing back to their home nation of Haiti beginning Sunday, the Associated Press reported Friday night.
The AP cited an official who said that between five and eight flights per day would depart from various cities in an effort to relieve the pressure on local and federal officials in the city of Del Rio. It was not immediately clear which cities would be used for the departure flights.
More than 13,000 migrants, the vast majority from Haiti, were estimated to have taken shelter under the International Bridge
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez donned an elegant gown with the slogan “Tax the Rich” painted on the back at the Met Gala in New York, where guests selected by Vogue’s Anna Wintour ponied up around $35,000 a pop for tickets.
My first question is: Who doesn’t want to “tax the rich”? Judging from my social-media feed, there seems to be a growing segment of people under the impression that the wealthy pay little or nothing in taxes. When you ask Americans if they support a wealth tax, a majority support the idea.
Film, television, and the legacy media loves to talk about what is wrong in the Black community, and often dismisses or distorts images of the Black family and Black culture. Far too often, what is presented as Blackness is cast in a negative light.
So, this story of a Black couple who adopted not one set, but two sets of twins is the stuff worthy of a TV series treatment.
From Fox News:
A couple has adopted two sets of twins in one day in order to keep siblings together while “spreading the love.”

Iran's top nuclear scientist was assassinated by a killer robot machine gun kitted out with artificial intelligence and multiple cameras and capable of firing 600 bullets a minute, according to a new report. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, 62, dubbed the 'father' of Iran's illegal atomic program, is said to have been killed in the November 27 ambush by a Mossad sniper who pulled the trigger from an undisclosed location more than 1,000 miles away thanks to the use of satellite.The gun which fired the fatal shots was positioned in a camera-laden pickup truck lying in wait for his vehicle to come past the ambush point.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said capitalism isn’t serving the U.S. as it should. On Friday at the Chatham House in London, the Democrat explained how the U.S. economy hasn’t benefited from capitalism. She insisted the U.S. can’t have a system that benefits some by depending on the exploitation of workers and the environment.“In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should,” said Pelosi. “And so, what we want to do is not walk away from it, but improve it and make sure it serves us.” (Tweet/Video)

DIRECT From Manufacturer After
Biden Tried Crippling Florida 37 replies
In a defiant move against President Joe Biden, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be buying antibody treatments against COVID-10 directly from the manufacturer after Biden purposely slowed the supply to Florida, putting many Americans in danger.“Just last week on September 9th, President Joe Biden said that his administration would be increasing shipments of monoclonal antibodies in September by 50%, and yet on September 13th, HHS announced that it was seizing control of the monoclonal antibody supply and that it would control distribution, and then on September 14th, the announcement was more than 50% of the monoclonal antibodies that had been used in Florida were going to be reduced,”
Sen. Mitt Romney is struggling to stay relevant now that he is no longer the go-to guy whenever the media needs to portray bipartisan opposition to former President Donald J. Trump, and despite his growing unpopularity with Republicans, he perseveres in a quest to salvage his image in a nation that rejected him.The failed presidential candidate who coughed up a winnable election against Barack Obama found a new cause with his bizarre fixation on Trump whom he devoted his life to undermining, first in the 2016 primaries and then after going to Washington as the replacement for retired GOP icon Senator Orrin Hatch.For the entirety of Trump’s tenure
President Joe Biden’s decision to cut deliveries of monoclonal antibodies to southeastern states, in what critics have called a politically-motivated effort to punish Republican states, could end up sentencing black people to death from coronavirus.
On Tuesday, Politico reported that the Biden administration was going to ration the distribution of monoclonal antibodies from Regeneron, given that “demand from a handful of southern states … accounted for 70 percent of all orders in early September.”
There is no shortage of Regeneron, and the federal government controls the distribution (snip DeSantis (R) noted Thursday that over half of his state’s recipients of monoclonal antibody treatments from Regeneron,(snip) were vaccinated before they

Voters in Minneapolis, the city where George Floyd died in police custody, sparking months of destructive protests, will now be able to vote in the upcoming municipal elections on abolishing the police department, the Minnesota Supreme Court said in a reversal of a lower court ruling. The decision concluded: The decision of the district court filed on September 14, 2021, granting the petition of respondents’ Don Samuels et al., to correct the ballot, requiring local election officials to provide notice instructing voters not to vote on the ballot question, and enjoining local election officials from tallying, counting or in any way considering votes cast on the ballot question, is reversed.
Former President Donald Trump warned supporters to avoid going to the “Justice for J6″ rally to be held Saturday in Washington, D.C., claiming that it is essentially a no-win situation for them and Republicans in general.
“On Saturday, that’s a setup,” Trump said, referring to the rally in an interview with The Federalist.
“If people don’t show up they’ll say, ‘Oh, it’s a lack of spirit.’ And if people do show up they’ll be harassed,” the 45th president added.
Capitol Police ordered fencing put back up around the grounds ahead of Saturday’s rally in order to provide additional security, though “intelligence suggests there will not be widespread or significant violence,” CBS News reported.
All three major Covid-19 ‘vaccine’ manufacturers have unveiled new names for their ‘fully authorized’ jabs, even as two pharmaceutical companies await FDA approval for their products. Following the lead of Pfizer/BioNTech, which branded its ‘fully authorized’ (and oddly, unavailable) vaccine “Comirnaty,” the second and third largest manufacturers for Europe and Canada, Moderna and AstraZeneca, are also relabeling their Covid shots.
“The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is Comirnaty, the Moderna vaccine will be named SpikeVax, and the AstraZeneca vaccine will be named Vaxzevria,” Health Canada said in a tweet Thursday. “These are only name changes. There are no changes to the vaccines themselves,” Health Canada added in an attempt to quell confusion.
North Carolina judges struck down the state´s latest photo voter identification law on Friday, agreeing with minority voters that Republicans rammed through rules tainted by racial bias as a way to remain in power. Two of the three trial judges at Wake County Superior Court in Raleigh declared the December 2018 law is unconstitutional, even though it was designed to implement a photo voter ID mandate added to the North Carolina Constitution in a referendum just weeks earlier. They said the law was rushed and intentionally discriminates against black voters, violating their equal protections. The law 'was motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target
