An earthquake is caused when two Leftists like Michael Moore and Chris Christie rub against each other at the buffet while reaching for the same crab 🦀 legs Geez Louise!
They may have to send in the National Guard, and a hefty supply of donuts.

I’m in Kumamoto , Japan and just saw the tsunami warnings for virtually the entire country . The epicenter of the quake was not that far off the coast of Hokkaido .

We are in Hawaii on the Big Island near South Point. Received an Emergency Alert about 20 mins ago to move to higher ground. We are not close to the ocean today. No information on when the waves are supposed to arrive. Another alert is supposed to be sent out when it is safe.
