OAKLAND, Calif. - An earthquake rolled across the Bay Area Friday night with residents from multiple Bay Area cities reporting they felt the shake. The United States Geological Survey originally estimated the quake at a 4.0 magnitude with an epicenter near Millbrae. It was upgraded shortly after to a 4.1 before being downgraded to a 3.9 and 3.7 magnitude quake. The temblor rattled through the area at 6:38 p.m. Inspectors at San Francisco International Airport said there are no reports of damage to the runways. BART reduced speeds while crews inspected its tracks. Many social media users were posting that

CNN is set to shutter its original headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, following its final broadcast Friday. CNN host Kate Bolduan announced at the beginning of Friday’s episode of News Central CNN that the program was the last presented by control rooms at the CNN Center in Atlanta. The operation is prepared to move to the renovated 30-acre Turner Techwood campus in Midtown after more than 35 years of broadcasting, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Before we go today, we are marking an important moment today in CNN’s history. Today’s show will be the final broadcast from the CNN Center in

Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips' expected decision to launch a long shot Democratic primary challenge against President Joe Biden on Friday has upset several major non-white members of the party who think him starting a campaign by filing for the New Hampshire primary will be emblematic of what they argued was his "disregard" for Democrats' emphasis on the South and diverse voters. "He's skipping a very diverse state to go to a non-diverse state," one senior Black Democrat, who requested anonymity to speak candidly, told ABC News, adding, "I think that is a telltale sign of where your values are." Phillips'

NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams made a stunning announcement Tuesday on the city's asylum seeker crisis housing crunch. He said it is so severe he's actively planning for the day migrants will have to sleep outside. The mayor did not utter the words "asylum seekers will be sleeping in Central Park," but because the city has had to close a number of shelters in recent weeks because they did not meet the fire code, he said he's now looking for large outdoor spaces where asylum seekers can live. "I don't know how to get this any clearer. When you are
ZURICH - Switzerland looked set to shift to the right in national elections on Sunday, as concerns about immigration trumped fears about climate change and melting glaciers, though the vote is unlikely to change the make-up of the Swiss government. The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), Switzerland's biggest political party, increased its share of the vote to 29%, 3.4 percentage points higher than the last election in 2019, according to the final projection by Swiss broadcaster SRF. The party campaigned on a platform of preventing the country's population - currently at 8.7 million people - exceeding 10 million. "We have problems with immigration
Samantha Woll, the president of a Detroit synagogue, was found stabbed to death Saturday outside her home, officials said. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a social media post that Woll was murdered. Nessel wrote she was, "shocked, saddened and horrified to learn of Sam's brutal murder. Sam was as kind a person as I've ever known." The Detroit Police Department said in a statement to CBS News that officers responded to a 911 call in downtown Detroit's Lafayette Park neighborhood Saturday morning, where they found a victim dead at the scene from multiple stab wounds. Police said officers
Secretary of State Antony Blinken told his staffers Thursday night that he knew many were shaken professionally and personally by the Israel-Hamas war — a message he sent amid unhappiness among some Muslim and Arab employees over how the U.S. is approaching the crisis. Blinken’s note to staff wasn’t a response to reports of the frustrations, a person familiar with the issue said. He had planned to write to department employees about the Middle East crisis but wanted to wait until he returned from a visit to the region, said the person, who was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive

As the Israel-Hamas War rages and the crisis in Gaza deepens, Taher Herzallah said he has exchanged frantic messages on social media with his family members who are trapped in Gaza. Their description of the situation is grim. He said they’ve told him they have no food, electricity, water or fuel. (Snip) Herzallah said his concerns for his family thousands of miles away have also been compounded by a growing fear for the safety of his wife and children here in the US, as reports of attacks against people perceived to be Muslim or Palestinian surface across the country.
President Biden is fully wrapping his arms around Israel. Literally. President Biden got off Air Force One during his high-stakes trip to the Middle East Wednesday and greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a big hug. (Snip) For Biden, he's left in a difficult and politically risky position – and the risk crosses political lines. He's not benefiting in the polls from his strong, pro-Israeli stance despite Americans saying they want that. Republicans are looking to pounce on any misstep. And, the longer Israel's campaign on Gaza marches on and civilian deaths mount, the more pressure Biden will likely face

Members of the progressive House "Squad" quickly blamed Israel for a deadly strike on a Christian hospital in Gaza, despite fierce denial from the Israeli government. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted condemnations of the strike within hours of it happening, despite contradictory claims from Israeli and Palestinian officials. Hamas, the terrorist organization that is the de facto government of the Gaza Strip, immediately accused Israel of being behind the strike, and the Israeli Defense Forces attributed the strike to a different Gaza-based terror group known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Omar and Tlaib accepted the Palestinian explanation
Two people were shot dead in the Belgian capital Brussels on Monday evening in what the government described as a terrorist attack. The suspect was still at large hours later, Belgian media reported, as authorities raised the terror alert in Brussels to its highest level. “Horrified by the terrorist attack that claimed two victims in the heart of Brussels,” Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib posted to X. “All necessary means must be mobilized to combat radicalism. Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families, and our police forces,” the minister added. Following the attack, the terror threat level for

The statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that was at the center of the deadly 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., was secretly melted down last week to be remade into a more inclusive artwork.
The bronze equestrian statue of Lee, which featured prominently in the 2017 Unite the Right rally, was incinerated in a 2,250-degree furnace Saturday, according to the Washington Post.
It was cut into nine pieces, weighed about 6,000 pounds and required a forklift to move.
It was melted down and then molded into a brick-like casting.
Washington Post associate editor and New York Times columnist freaked out on Friday’s PBS NewsHour at the news that Republicans selected Mike Johnson to be the new Speaker of the House by portraying him as a “far-right” religious extremist out to impose “Christian nationalism” on the country.
Noting Johnson’s relative obscurity, Capehart predicted, “And the more information we find out about him and the more information the American people find out about him, the more I think they're going to be uncomfortable, from his pushing for a national abortion ban, to introducing legislation for a federal so-called Don't Say Gay Bill, his comments on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.”
Senate Democrats are working with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and a handful of Republicans on a rarely used procedural tactic to defeat Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Ala.) blockade of more than 360 military promotions, a stalemate that has consumed the Senate for months. Democrats are looking at using a standing order resolution to move a block of more than 300 nonpolitical military nominees who have been stalled for months because of Tuberville’s holds to protest the Department of Defense’s (DOD) abortion policies.
Saturday Night Live took on 80-year-old President Joe Biden in its latest episode over concerns about his age.
In a rollicking cold open, SNL’s Mikey Day — taking over the role of the president from cast-mate James Austin Johnson — portrayed Biden as a man wanting to assuage voter concerns about his age. His idea to win over skeptics was to climb a ladder in the Oval Officer to put up Halloween decorations.
“I want to put everyone at ease,” said Day as Biden. “Nothing puts people at ease like an 80-year-old man hanging Halloween decoration.”
I’ve been saying for a long time that the transgender takeover of women’s sports is going to end only when women stop competing against them. It makes sense that this retreat from competition is happening in Brazilian jiu-jitsu (“BJJ”), which is a close-contact sport in which women can get hurt, unlike racing. At a recent women’s BJJ competition, men completely dominated the event, with some events having only male competitors.
I did BJJ for almost a decade, although I started too late in life ever to be any good, and my joints got damaged before I got my advanced belts. However, I know a lot about the sport.
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), who is running against President Joe Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination, claimed he is not running against President Joe Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination.
Appearing on Friday’s Meet the Press Now, Phillips fielded questions from Kristen Welker.
“As some of President Biden’s supporters have pointed out, you have voted with President Biden nearly 100% of the time,” she said. “So, I guess the question is, do you have any major policy critiques about the Biden administration?”
“Well, Kristen, I admire the president,” Phillips replied. “I voted for those policies because they’re good ones and they will be making a difference over time.
A swarm of local residents in Makhachkala in the Russian Republic of Dagestan stormed an airport in the city in an attempt to attack any Jews and Israelis set to arrive on a "Red Wings" flight from Tel Aviv on Sunday, according to local media reports.
According to N12, the pilots were warned of the mob and rerouted the plane to land at a nearby airport. The rioters reached that one as well. The flight staff ordered the locking of all aircraft exits, while security forces closed the area off. Russian aviation authority Rosaviatsia said all aircraft were diverted to other

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday, actor Mathew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends, passed away at the age of 54.
TMZ reported law enforcement officers found the actor dead inside of his jacuzzi after responding to a call for cardiac arrest.
Perry, who was public about his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, was reportedly found at his own home in a hot tub after law enforcement responded to a call for cardiac arrest around 4 pm local time.
No drugs were found at the scene.
The good news, such as it is, is that the mask is off the ‘Palestinians’ and it’s also off their supporters. They’re feeling their strength and they’ve stopped pretending that they want anything other than the mass murder of Jews.
The pretense of a two-state solution and any kind of coexistence is done. They’ve openly embraced Hamas.
At least 800 pro-Palestinian protesters have descended on Union Square following a day-long rally that saw demonstrators climbing the Brooklyn Bridge, damaging cop cars, and blocking traffic.
Demonstrators chanted “free Palestine” as they mounted the iconic George Washington statue and plastered it with stickers that read “Zionists are terrorists.”
The marchers even erected a makeshift basketball hoop
Secretary of State Antony Blinken contends that Hamas would gain no “greater” victory “than allowing its brutality to send us down a path of terrorism and nihilism. We must not let it.”
You can hear echoes of Barack Obama’s insufferable moral equivalencies imbued in that statement.
The contention is a not-so-subtle warning to Israel, who will almost surely enter Gaza and try to dismantle the Hamas terror state — which has been indirectly and directly funded not only by Iran, the European Union, and the United Nations but also by the Obama and Biden administrations.
The insinuation, of course, is that Israel needs to temper its inclination to engage in “terrorism and nihilism.
Stella Paul wrote a series of articles for American Thinker exposing the terrible things that happened in American hospitals because of the new “COVID protocols”—things that the American public is already forgetting. Several days ago, she sat down for a long interview with an investigative reporter at the Epoch Times to expand on the information she provided to American Thinker readers. You are probably already familiar with what Ms. Paul wrote, but here’s the list of those essays:
A shooting in Tampa, Florida, killed at least two people and injured 18 more after a fight broke out between two groups on a street crowded with hundreds of people during Halloween celebrations early Sunday, authorities said.
The shooting happened just before 3 a.m. near a strip of bars and clubs in the 1600 block of East 7th Avenue in the Ybor City neighborhood, Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw told reporters at the scene.
"It was a disturbance or a fight between two groups," Bercaw said. "And in this fight between two groups, we had hundreds of innocent people involved that were in the way."
