A rare, powerful earthquake struck Morocco, sending people racing from their beds into the streets and toppling buildings in mountainous villages and ancient cities not built to withstand such force.


More than 1,000 people were killed, and the toll was expected to rise as rescuers struggled to reach hard-hit remote areas where the dead were buried even as desperate efforts were underway to save those trapped.


The magnitude-6.8 quake, the biggest to hit the North African country in 120 years, sent people fleeing their homes in terror and disbelief. One man said dishes and wall hangings began raining down, and people were knocked off their feet. The enormity of the destruction came into view in the daylight.


The quake brought down walls made from stone and masonry not constructed to endure quakes, covering whole communities with rubble and leaving residents picking their way precariously through remains.

13 charged in plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

By Christina Carrega, Veronica Stracqualursi and Josh Campbell, CNN

Washington (CNN)Thirteen people were charged Thursday in an alleged domestic terrorism plot to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, federal and state officials announced.
The alleged scheme included plans to overthrow several state governments that the suspects "believe are violating the US Constitution," including the government of Michigan and Whitmer, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Six people were charged federally with conspiracy to kidnap, and seven other people, associated with the militia group "Wolverine Watchmen," were charged by the state, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced.

"The individuals in (state) custody are suspected to have attempted to identify the home addresses of law enforcement officers in order to target them, made threats of violence intended to instigate a civil war, and engaged in planning and training for an operation to attack the capitol building of Michigan and to kidnap government officials, including the governor of Michigan," Nessel said at a press conference.

The arrests are likely to draw additional attention to the political tensions roiling the nation in the closing weeks of the 2020 election season, and underline warnings from law enforcement officials, members of Congress and groups that track extremism about the increasing threat of extremist and far-right groups. Whitmer at times has been the focus of extreme vitriol from far-right groups over her handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
In an interview on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Thursday night, Whitmer thanked law enforcement for making the arrests.
"This is unlike anything we have seen before. The brave men and women of these two police organizations put their lives on the line to keep me and my family safe," she said. "I'm incredibly grateful and humbled by the work they do."

In televised remarks Thursday afternoon, Whitmer said she "knew this job would be hard, but I'll be honest, I never could've imagined anything like this." She specifically blamed President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly declined to condemn far-right groups.

"Just last week, the President of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two Michigan militia groups," she said. "'Stand back and stand by,' he told them. 'Stand back and stand by.' Hate groups heard the President's words not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry, as a call to action. When our leaders speak, their words matter. They carry weight."

In response, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Whitmer is "sowing division."
"President Trump has continually condemned white supremacists and all forms of hate," McEnany said in a statement to CNN. "Governor Whitmer is sowing division by making these outlandish allegations. America stands united against hate and in support of our federal law enforcement who stopped this plot."

The six charged by the federal government are Michigan residents Adam Fox, 37, Ty Garbin, 24, Kaleb Franks, 26, Daniel Harris, 23, Brandon Caserta, 32, and Delaware resident Barry Croft, 44.
The seven people charged by the state are Paul Bellar, 21, Shawn Fix, 38, Eric Molitor, 36, Michael Null, 38, William Null, 38, Pete Musico, 42, Joseph Morrison, 42. They face a variety of firearm and terror charges.

The FBI became aware of the scheme, first reported by The Detroit News, in early 2020 through a social media group of individuals.

One can only think that the news is not actually truth-and to believe that the news isn't only what they feed us is ignorance. The four major news companies in the US are owned by one person and even CNN and the others all all Hogwash...to believe in what they say about this person or that..or any news at all.....makes you a sheeple.

Outside the Miami Federal courthouse a crowd of Trump supporters are chanting We Love Trump. Donald J. Trump arrived ahead of his 3pm scheduled arraignment date and CNN is reporting he is now under arrest.
Walt Nauta, Trump's valet and alleged co-conspirator, will appear alongside him.

I'm back and forth from my office to the TV in the living room as the Internet news feed is frozen... apparently so many people are watching live it's overloaded the internet.

It's a dark day... afternoon showers are on us, as usual.

Granted, it's not the only difference.

But, I just thought of this;

If 2 guys happen to show up at the same party and both are wearing the same style & color shirt,
they bump fists and proclaim "cool shirt bro".

If 2 women happen to show up to the same party and both are wearing the same style & color shirt......
it becomes WWIII.

To Side With Ukraine During Direct Questioning On CNN

Once again this man has shown the world that he is no puppet nor will he be influenced what to do in a corrupt world.
Kudos to this man.

Despite heavy prompting from the host of the town hall show, the former US president refused to side with Ukraine in its conflict against Russia, diplomatically stating that he wants “everybody to stop dying” -

“I don’t think in terms of winning and losing. I think in terms of getting it settled,” he told the New Hampshire audience; “I’ll have that done in 24 hours. You need the power of the presidency to do it,” Trump added.
