Another roller. Just longer. Maybe a minute. Some reporting a feeling of nausea (as in seasickness) according to panicky local newsers. Even old seismologist Lucy Jones at Caltech is in a tizzy. Wondering how old cousins in Ridgecrest are doing. No response to email...

Lucy is explaining that all of the faults in that area - where the China Lake Naval Base is located - are known in aggregate as the Little Lake Fault System. She is also explaining that the epicenter is at one end of the involved fault, where the movement begins. Believes that the 7.1 quake went entire 25 mile length of the fault it involves. She used a piece of paper to illustrate, starting to tear it at one edge - the epicenter - but continuing to tear it further to illustrate quake’s movement along a fault. Interesting.

For those interested in such things there was reportedly (the USGS) a 3.1 earthquake in Plainville, KS this evening.

Didn't feel anything in eastern KS, 250 miles away. Hope folks in Cali are OK.

Felt rolling for a while in Hollywood, but nothing fell or anything like that. But definitely felt much bigger than yesterday's quake.

Kind of a nasty jolt about 20 seconds into the quake. I was waiting for worse but just kept rolling for 30-40 seconds. Bigger than yesterday.

Most of California's interior is rock solid conservative #7! That's especially true of the Ridgecrest/China Lake area where many work to support the Navy Lab.

These threads always bring out the nasty anti-California types. I cannot imagine a Californian going on a thread about a hurricane and ripping Floridians or on a flood thread and ripping Texans or those in other states that have had severe flooding. Ditto tornados. Californians get my vote for the kindest in the country. The most compassionate when their fellow AMERICANS in other states are having weather disasters.

These days, to my surprise, people want to talk to me about evil. In a Substack essay last year, and in my book The Bodies of Others, I raised a question about existential, metaphysical darkness. I concluded that I had looked at the events of the past two and a half years using all of my classical education, my critical thinking skills, my knowledge of Western and global history and politics; and that, using these tools, I could not explain the years 2020-present.

As turmoil rages on between Russia and Ukraine, President Zelensky discussed what U.S. citizens should expect if Ukraine loses the war. The thought of Americans fighting another war on European soil has many debating the state of the country right now. Zelensky said, “The US will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending our sons and daughters to war.” “And they will have to to fight, because it’s NATO that we’re talking about, and they will be dying.” WATCH: (Tweet/Video)

On February 20, 100 Percent Fed Up reported about the newly elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s decision to release all of the 44,000 hours of footage from January 6, 2021, to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, giving him exclusive access to Capitol surveillance footage.“I’ve watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized [Jan. 6],” said McCarthy. “Where for the first time in the history as a speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee.” “We watched the politicization of this,” McCarthy said. “I think the American public should actually see all that happened instead of a report that’s written for a political basis.”

The Washington, D.C. city council made it official on Monday, illegal immigrants and other non-citizens can now vote in local elections. The Democrat-run district that serves as the nation’s capital went so far as to allow foreign diplomats to cast a vote. That’s according to various reports that the city council passed the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act after a 30-day congressional review period ended — the GOP-led House pushed to block the D.C. law from taking effect but the Democrat-run Senate let the clock expire without taking action. The law requires a person to be 18 and to have lived in D.C. for 30 days to be eligible to vote,

Twitter users recoiled after President Biden gave intimate details of his treatment in a medical facility Tuesday. Biden was speaking about healthcare policy in Virginia Beach, Virginia, when he told a story about a nurse he said was named Pearl Nelson. "She'd come in and do things I don't think you learn in nursing school," he said. She'd whisper in my ear, I couldn't understand, but she'd whisper, and she'd lean down and actually breathe on me to make sure there was a human connection," Biden continued.

Pennsylvania Republicans are calling on Democrat Senator John Fetterman to appear on camera to prove he is “alive and well” or resign. “Because of the now confirmed lies that were told during the 2022 general election regarding the health of Senator John Fetterman, as well as the threats made against a journalist who interviewed him, the Washington County Republican Party refuses to take assurances from the Office of the Senator or Democrat operatives that Fetterman is able to carry out his duties as Senator,” the Washington County Republican Party said in a Facebook post. “As such, we call upon Senator Fetterman to appear on camera

On Sunday night, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared on “Life, Liberty, and Levin” on Fox News, purportedly to promote his new book, The Courage to Be Free, which comes out this week. While DeSantis has not yet declared that he’s running for president, he certainly sounded like a man who’s making the case for his candidacy. Or, if not, he’s making a case for conservatism as the path to American success and prosperity— the subtitle of the book is “Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival.” As my colleague Stephen Green pointed out earlier today: DeSantis isn’t traveling to early presidential primary states like Iowa or New Hamphire, at least not yet. Instead,
Lori Lightfoot Effectively Calls Chicago
Residents Racist, Sexist After Election Loss

As RedState reported on Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her reelection, and not by a little. According to the polls, she was something of an afterthought, falling well behind Paul Vallas and runner-up Brandon Johnson who got 33.77 and 20.29 percent of the vote respectively. Lightfoot limped into third with 17 percent of the vote. Naturally, like any good radical leftist, Lightfoot took no personal responsibility for her loss, choosing to blame it instead on others. In this case, the entire city of Chicago is guilty of being sexist and racist as reported by the New York Post: “I’m a black woman in America. Of course,”

Look, I’ll tell you – I don’t know when that is and the if and when, maybe this summer, we’ll get to that.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has lost her bid for re-election as the race heads to runoff without her after no candidate reached the required 50% vote threshold to be elected. Lightfoot faced challenges from eight other candidates in the race, including Chicago Public Schools CEO and city budget director Paul Vallas, who held a significant double-digit lead in the polls ahead of Election Day. Leading up to the election, Lightfoot also narrowly trailed Brandon Johnson, a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, by two points, and was in a dead heat with Democratic Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia who represents Illinois's 4th Congressional District.

Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Penn.) staff has released an update regarding his condition. Fetterman remains hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center as he undergoes treatment for clinical depression. It’s not a very detailed update. “We don’t have a lot to update folks with since there’s no real news to report except that John is doing well, working with the wonderful doctors, and remains on a path to recovery,” Fetterman’s communications director Joe Calvello said in a statement. “He is visiting with staff and family daily, and his staff are keeping him updated on Senate business and news.” “We understand the intense interest in John’s status
Judge Declines to Block Florida’s 15-Week

A Miami judge declined to block Florida’s 15-week abortion ban, HB 5, on Friday in a lawsuit brought by clergy members of several different faiths. The clergy members — three rabbis, a Unitarian Universalist minister, an Episcopal Church priest, a Buddhist lama, and a United Church of Christ reverend — filed separate lawsuits against the State of Florida in August claiming that the law violates their rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Those lawsuits have since been consolidated into one case. The clergy members argue in their complaint that the law puts them “at risk of prosecution for counseling women, girls, and families to obtain an abortion
