New Jersey has been hit by a 4.0 aftershock hours after the Garden State and New York City were rumbled by a more severe 4.8 earthquake. Residents of the tri-state area reported the tremor around 6pm ET Friday. NYC Deputy Mayor Fabien Levy confirmed the shock on X. He wrote: 'We just felt what we assume is a small aftershock in New York City to today's earthquake.' He said he was awaiting further confirmation on its magnitude, some eight hours after a 4.8 magnitude quake rocked the city at 10:32am, causing mayhem for unsuspecting residents.

East coast whiners. These are very small quakes and are only news because this is east coast. If this had happened in California, there'd be either a tiny story on page 8 of section B, or no story at all.

Quakes seem to travel greater distances on the east coast #3 than the west coast. However, you are right about hysteria here on the east coast concerning earthquakes. Years ago, while visiting my cousin who lived just outside San Fran, there was a 4.2 or 4.3 quake. I was surprised and a little jumpy because my cousin's house shook quite a bit. My cousin and his wife on the other hand were so nonchalant about it that they paid absolutely no attention to it and basically said, " We get those all the time. It's no big deal." Back in 2011. There was a 5.2 quake in Virginia which was only about 60 miles away from where I live. Because of the geography in the eastern part of the country, almost every state felt it. I actually saw the ground act like a wave, and we ended up getting several large cracks in our walls from it.

Re #5. The 5.2 quake is 10 times the energy of a 4.2 quake. And my father's home was about 30 miles from the epicenter, and it is pretty much solid granite around there. We had to repair some sheet rock that shifted in the ceiling of a very large room, and a beautiful old pitcher and washbasin set bounced enough to break the pitcher and smash a hole in the bottom of the bowl. A shame to lose a 150 year old porcelain heirloom. Most people had no damage or a bit of sheet rock cracking, or something very fragile sitting in a precarious position.....for many years, suddenly fall. Like that glass or porcelain object on a mantlepiece. Yes, it is a shame to lose these things, but they fell because east coast folks aren't used to worrying about the house shaking. I have worked with an art museum stabilizing objects against small quakes like this. One of the best ways for very delicate, and precarious (tall object with small base) objects is that fine, transparent monofiliament fishing lines are looped from opposite corners of the display case, around the object, up high. The second loop is tensioned against the first, holding the object up if it is shaken. The monofiliment is not noticeable from a few feet away. This can work at home for tall slender and fragile objects. But most take the "it's been there for years and it's fine" approach.

Donald Trump has raised $50.5 million at a Florida fundraiser for his 2024 re-election campaign - the highest amount ever raised at a single event. Saturday's $250,000-a-ticket bash was held at the $110 million Palm Beach home of Trump supporter John Paulson. The enormous amount is almost double the $26 million Joe Biden's campaign recently raised at a New York City bash which boasted the added star-power of former Democrat presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. 'It's clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November,' Team Trump told AP.

Things are bad when sports journalists and former professional athletes find ways to talk more sensibly about the country's top issues today than our leaders. Okay, I admit—the bar isn’t that high. But while Charles Barkley is a hall-of-fame NBA player, he’s seldom the voice of reason in a political debate. Also, Barkley doesn’t want to be a commentator on social issues, though he hasn’t shied away from it. He has a show with Gayle King on CNN. Put it this way: he’s more open about some political issues, but he will never be selected to moderate a presidential debate,

The city of Madison, Wisconsin, appears to have found a rather creative way to use its allotment of COVID-19 funds. The local government has reportedly been funneling the money to illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, a move that is expressly forbidden in the American Rescue Plan. Republican State Sen. Duey Stroebel sounded the alarm on the misuse of funds and is currently seeking answers from the city’s leadership. Wisconsin state Senator Duey Stroebel, R-Cederberg, sounded the alarm Thursday after learning of a decision in the state’s capital to aid migrants with pandemic relief funds.

Democrats want former President Donald Trump “confined to a courtroom” instead of on the campaign trail, but that will not be the case, Karoline Leavitt, national spokeswoman for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. “Jack Smith is a henchman for Joe Biden and for Merrick Garland. He has made a living off of targeting Republicans throughout his entire career,” Leavitt said during her appearance on the show, noting that this case of lawfare is nothing more than another attempt by Democrats to “interfere in this election and attempt to weaken President Trump.”

One of the things that frustrated me about Trump’s (first?) term was his seeming complete indifference to #TheResistance that manifested before he even took office. Unelected bureaucrats working in the ridiculously invasive executive branch’s many agencies, publicly declared war on him, and he . . . well, he did nothing. Until the final year of his presidency when he seemed to finally take aim at the problem in his own branch of government–we can call it the deep state, the resistance, the entrenched bureaucrats who oversee far too much policy in America and who are, apparently, answerable to no one. Not the voter, not the president. So then-president Trump launched

I have long predicted that normalizing transgender surgeries would be followed eventually by doctors intentionally disabling patients with Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). These patients obsess that their “true selves” are quadriplegic, or amputees, or blind, and they yearn to be made that way. It is a real and anguishing condition. Some are now even calling the affliction “transable” (get it?). Well, here it comes. A doctor in Quebec “treated” a BIID patient by amputating two of his healthy fingers. Otherwise, the patient was threatening to mutilate himself. From the National Post story: The fact that there were only two fingers involved in the Quebec case, as opposed to

There are probably few people who have sold their soul more in the Biden administration than National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. He's not stupid or incoherent like some on the team. But, he so often fails to give a straight answer when asked.Kirby did an interview with Fox's Martha MacCallum on her show, "The Story." The subject essentially was the Biden team throwing Israel under the bus with the things the Biden team has said. Kirby protested, saying that they stood with Israel, but they wanted changes to dealing with civilian casualties in the wake of the accidental killing of the aid workers in an Israeli strike in Gaza.
