Two powerful earthquakes killed thousands of people in Turkey and Syria, collapsing buildings in dozens of cities and shaking the ground as far away as Israel and Lebanon.The earthquakes were both centered in southern Turkey. Buildings were destroyed across the region, including collapsed buildings in at least 14 cities, according to images of the aftermath. The full extent of the damage remains unknown. Almost 3,000 buildings collapsed across Turkey alone after the initial quake, officials in the country said, and at least 5,000 people were injured.

The governor of Malatya, a province near the epicenter, said that hundreds of buildings had collapsed. In the provincial capital, home to half a million people, images showed snow falling on the debris, adding to the difficulty of rescue.

Before and after photos show how the quake gutted the historic Yeni Mosque and leveled a major hotel and a large apartment building.

The world is over-populated, now a bit over 8 billion people. Tough, but we need to thin the herd.

The U.S. has been spared a major earthquake.

we're due.


1,000s dying here would be sad...and, in one way, the rude awakening we need to take better care of ourselves. It's a natural disaster, yes, but why live where a geographic fault line has been identified and documented, like San Andreas in California.

Humans are hard-headed, yes.

REPUBLICAN CAPITOL RIOTERS STILL CRYING IN COURT -

A Jan. 6 defendant who sprayed a chemical irritant at about 15 police officers — and later bragged about it in a video interview — was sentenced Wednesday to 68 months in prison. This is one of the stiffest Jan. 6 sentences handed down to date.

Daniel Caldwell, a 51-year-old Marine Corps veteran, delivered a tearful apology in court to the officers he sprayed, expressing remorse for his actions that day and pleading with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly for mercy.

Red states - including Texas - are limiting Black history lessons in public schools at the same time scholars are producing groundbreaking new works around art, slavery, civil rights, and the Great Migration.

Why it matters: A work on Black history has won a National Book Award every year since 2018 as historians find more stories that challenge the popular U.S. narrative. That's sparking a backlash.

The combined population of Turkey and Syria is approximately 102 million. A few thousand deaths is a very small percentage. China's deaths to covid are in the hundred of thousands now thats a story.

Los cocos are like moscas and are annoying because they invade your personal space. They are often found in kitchens, bedrooms, toilets cesspools and living rooms and are attracted to food and white people, now they are invading some of the blogs. Some flies will even bite you leaving you in pain. Las pinches moscas hediondas are attached to los gringos. Las jotas moscas buzz in ingles. Musca domesticas are afraid of the local daily rolled up like a bat. They will immediatly leave your home if the local daily (a used one)is seen, but be sure the local daily is rolled up in the right technique. Use your weapon appropriately make a fast and decisive flick with your weapon. Soon you will see that estas moscas cocos will leave.
