A large fire erupted at a Los Angeles County refinery following an explosion on Thursday night.
Officers and firefighters responded to the Chevron refinery in El Segundo after receiving multiple reports of an explosion. The El Segundo Police Department is not aware of any immediate injuries or evacuations.
A witness said the explosion felt like a small earthquake.
The refinery has its own fire department. According to Chevron's website, the El Segundo refinery was constructed in 1911. The facility produces 276,000 barrels of crude oil every day and "is the largest producing oil refinery on the west coast,"

Notice how, now that the republic is embroiled in the Schumer Shutdown, Democrats are suddenly all a-twitter about Republican claims that they were favoring healthcare benefits for illegal aliens at taxpayer expense? Well, let's hop in the Wayback Machine and have Mr. Peabody take us back to 2020, and the Democratic Party's presidential primary debate. Remember this? Here's the question from NBC News' Savannah Guthrie that they are all answering in the affirmative:
You've been talking tonight about these government healthcare plans that you've proposed in one form or another. This is a show of hands question,

The religion of Islam teaches that raping and killing non-Muslims is a holy and necessary action. Is it any surprise, therefore, that some of the Muslim immigrants to Europe and America admit frankly that their goal is, quite simply, conquest and transformation?
San Diego Imam Uthman Ibn Farooq delivered an address in Birmingham, Great Britain, which should chill the heart of every American patriot. America and Europe will be Muslim, the imam excitedly predicted, urging his fellow Muslims not to water down a single word of their religion, which includes explicit commands to rape, assault, conquer, and murder “infidels.” The imam even referenced a desire to be a “martyr,”

Thursday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s meeting of military commanders on Tuesday was a crazy “disgrace.”
Crow said, “Packing hundreds of general officers, generals and admirals into a room so they could be lectured by Pete Hegseth on woke culture war issues and grooming standards is not something that you see in the United States of America or should see in the United States of America. That’s something that Vladimir Putin would do. That’s something that Kim Jong Un would do, or Xi

Discussing a conversation with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Dean said, “I told him how deeply concerned I am that the president is unhinged and unwell, and our allies are noticing it, and they’re looking elsewhere for support, and our enemies are enjoying it, and they are emboldened by it.”
Host John Berman said, “You just called the president unwell again. What do you mean by that?”
Dean said, “Well, he’s aging, aren’t we all?

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said President Donald Trump’s second term has become “the worst crisis in America literally since the Civil War.”
Host Chris Hayes said, “You’ve have been in you’ve served in Congress, in the Senate, you served through a number of different administrations with different presidents. I’ve covered a number of shutdowns. I’ve never seen a president during a shutdown kind of gloating about the ability to punish people or to take stuff away from people in states that didn’t vote for him. Have you seen that before?

In 1956's The Ten Commandments, after Yul Brynner's Pharaoh released the Hebrew slaves from bondage, his Queen, Nefertiri, played by Anne Baxter, was bitter at losing her son in the final plague God brought on Egypt during the first Passover. She uttered the question, dripping with condescension, "Do you hear laughter, Pharaoh?" The same laughter of mocking and derision is cascading down on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the rest of the Congressional and Senate Democrats in the wake of the Schumer shutdown, now entering Day 2.
If there has to be a government shutdown, October is as good a month as any

Readers may remember Chubby Checker's big hit, "Limbo Rock." The calypso-inspired song hit #2 on Billboard and took the top spot on Casbox in 1962, and remains a staple on oldies stations. The repeated phrase, "How low can you go?", still inspires backaches and laughter at parties, especially after a few drinks.
Well, executives at Protection Racket Media outlets may need more drinks to get past the latest data from Gallup on trust in their product. As it turns out, "how low can you go" has been a mission statement as well as a refrain. Today's iteration of their longitudinal surveys on media confidence hit a new low ... again:

CHICAGO — The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a ban on private drone flights over the entire City of Chicago and stretching into the northern, western and southern suburbs.
“Temporary flight restrictions for Special Security Reasons” is the stated reason for the drone ban, which began Wednesday and continues through Oct. 12. An FAA spokesperson referred questions about the reasons behind the ban to Homeland Security, which did not respond to a request for comment from WGN Investigates. The ban comes at a time of heightened tension in Chicago as federal immigration agents have been carrying out unannounced operations and arrests. It’s unclear if the two are connected.

A New York Times poll shows that public support for enforcing migration laws is solid, despite bitter resistance from progressives and the establishment media.
Fifty-two percent of 1,313 registered voters support President Donald Trump’s policy of “deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally back to their home countries,” according to the September 22-27 poll. The support is unchanged from April 2025.
The policy is strongly opposed by just 24 percent, down by two percent from April.
Self-described independents split: 53 percent support versus 25 percent “strongly oppose.”
Ninety-five percent of Trump’s 2024 voters back his policy.
