As I walk around Borovsk, two things strike me about this town 60 miles (100km) from Moscow. First, there is almost no sign of the presidential election coming up this weekend. I see few election banners or billboards and no political flyers being handed out. Not surprising, really. The absence of election preparations mirrors the absence of drama surrounding a stage-managed event that will hand Vladimir Putin a fifth term in the Kremlin. The other thing you can't help noticing in Borovsk is the street art. It's everywhere. Much of it has been created by street artist Vladimir Ovchinnikov. All...

Tucker Carlson 2/25/24 : Into the abyss: Colonel Douglas Macgregor tells us why the Ukraine war must end now.

The City of Weston even posted a tweet that reads, “In regard to the rumbling that people in Weston felt just earlier. There was NO explosion in #Weston. There are reports this was felt in several counties. We do not have definitive information on what caused it at this time.” A CBS4 viewer said in an email her “sliding glass doors and windows shook violently. I’m in West Kendall. Friends as faar south as marathon and Islamorada felt it and as far north as Davie and Lauderhill.” The United States Geological Survey is not reporting any activity in South Florida...

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seen visibly shaking during another high-profile diplomatic meeting, this time as she welcomed Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne as the countries’ anthems played. Merkel has repeatedly played down concerns over her health in recent weeks following high-profile episodes of shaking in public during meetings with other world leaders.

Angela Merkel caught shaking uncontrollably for second time in nine days.

Angela Merkel experiences some sort of serious, shaking seizure while listening to the national anthem while meeting the new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Berlin. Her whole body visibly shaking as she received the new Ukrainian president at the chancellery. Merkel later said she was fine. Right.

Roy Moore just beat Luther Strange in the Republican runoff for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat, by roughly 10 percentage points. And now both Democrats and the establishment wing of the Republicans are shaking in their boots — or at least, they ought to be. This wasn’t a win so much for a man as it was a message from voters for a principle — for a movement, one that elitists have been trying to stamp for years is still alive. It’s a movement that goes like this: We’re the American citizens, you’re the political class, and you work for us....

Aerobics Blamed for Mysterious Shopping Mall Tremor Strenuous group exercise has been fingered as the culprit for the mysterious tremors that led to the evacuation of a shopping mall in Seoul earlier this month. On Tuesday, investigators probing the incident noticed that the vibrometer on the 38th floor of the TechnoMart building in eastern Seoul suddenly started moving violently as a group of 23 men and women in the fitness center on the 12th floor had started jumping energetically around. An office worker in the 38th floor of the building said, "When we were evacuating on July 5, that’s how...

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – A 10-year-old central Pennsylvania girl who allegedly caused a baby's death by violently shaking him and throwing him into a crib was charged with third-degree murder. The charges filed against the fifth-grader on Friday in Franklin County came after a coroner's inquest into the death of 11-month-old Heath Ryder. The girl was released into the custody of her parents and ordered not to have unsupervised contact with children under 5. "This is not a kid that has a mental health disorder. She does not have a personality disorder," the girl's attorney, Jason Kutulakis, told The Public Opinion...

IF the anti-Christ spirit is born from man's renunciation of the Creator, than the call for a Palestinian State is a by-product of this same anti-Christ spirit. IF the kingship of JESUS CHRIST is greatly reflected in the actuality of HIS promises to come and rule from the land of Israel, then what greater way, next to questioning or rejecting HIS divinity, is there for this diabolic anti-Christ spirit to attempt to undermine the promised kingship of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then to attempt to possess the land of HIS promised future rule? The anti-Christ spirit wants to destroy not...

Just felt a pretty decent quake here in San Jose. Not enough to get me off the couch. It was weird. It's like it was taking batting practice witha few fits and starts then... a good slow rumble. I am guessing it lasted 3 seconds. Anyone else feel it? Nothing on the News.

America your portion has been measured in full and the time of true shaking has come ! Now watch as I touch your pocketbooks , watch as I annihilate the sin in your lives and watch as All this occurs I set the captives free and destroy the rebellious as korah for I shall swallow up sin and it's roots . I shall cleanse this nation as never before .

I saw The Father in the garden and he was shaking an old tree . I asked him what this tree represented and he said "California" . The next day I was drawn to this vision again and I watched as The Father uprooted this full grown tree and began to examine the roots thoroughly ! I heard The Father say these words concerning California for your discernment . . . "They will be annihilated unless they turn from their wicked ways and I am sending them My Jonah's for they are about to encounter a road to Damascus event...

Do you feel the thunder my children ? Do you feel it ?! For I AM shaking everything that can be shaken but it is not my will for you to suffer through this ! So remember it is not "your" virtue I am coming to but your heart ! ! ! Be holy as I AM Holy for "your" virtue is lacking but "your obedience" is what "must" be true ! Hebrews 12:27-28 (Amplified Bible) 27Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all [that can be] shaken--that is, of that which has been...

As Sampson moved the pillars I will shake man's false hopes , The counterfeits of Me and my fruit shall fall from the heights and the slopes , Those things man has stored shall be removed in one day , Buy from me gold and silver before your time fades away , I am shaking " all " the foundations of earth , You ask me why ? To bring direction and rebirth , The fool hearty do not know who I am , Yet in this breaking they shall learn to call me friend , For a great awakening...

CAPE TOWN (AFP) – US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Saturday for a broad alliance with South Africa as she basked in a warm welcome from everyone from President Jacob Zuma down to street children as she visited Africa's wealthiest nation. A visibly upbeat Clinton shook her hips to the sounds of a street brass choir in the slums of Cape Town, where she was swarmed by women and children at a housing project she had visited more than a decade ago as first lady. Clinton is emphasising public diplomacy during her 11-day, seven-nation tour of Africa, hoping...

Quakes Keep Shaking Reno; Scientists StumpedSandra Chereb in Reno, Nevada Associated PressApril 30, 2008 Scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno, are scrutinizing seismic readings and studying damage at residents' homes to try to figure out what's happening beneath Earth's surface under a northwest Reno neighborhood rocked by a seemingly endless string of earthquakes. What they can't say is whether the hundreds of temblors that have rattled the area for two months—the largest a magnitude 4.7 Friday night—are subsiding or a prelude to bigger things to come. "You're not going to get an earthquake prediction today," John Anderson, director of...

/begin my summary[N. Korean Missile] Taepodong-2 Engine Defect, Exposing its ProblemsThe source of N. Korean Taepodong-2 missile failure is now being narrowed down to its engine problem.According to NIS(S.

According to this scenario, this 'shaking' persisted for (initial) 40 seconds of...

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to blow up the boxes of state government. Now, incoming Senate leader Don Perata is giving the upper house a makeover. Perata, an Oakland Democrat, outlined his plan Wednesday to combine and eliminate several Senate committees, cut the number of members on each panel and reduce the amount of bills introduced next session. In some cases, the changes reflect core Democratic values, such as taking a "smart growth" approach to housing and transportation needs by combining the two issues into one committee. But Perata also hopes the moves will force inexperienced lawmakers to focus on fewer...

Indonesia's Lost World: Shaking Up the Family Tree October 28, 2004 by David Keys Homo floresiensis skull (© Peter Brown) New archaeological discoveries by Australian and Indonesian scientists on the Indonesian island of Flores are revealing that until at least 13,000 to 12,000 years ago, modern humans--our species, Homo sapiens--shared this planet with a totally different species of human being--a three-foot-high dwarf hominid with physical features usually seen as dating from 1.5 to 4 million years ago. The scientists, mainly from Australia's University of New England and University of Wollongong, have found the skeletal remains of up to seven individuals...
