Two earthquakes in one day startle Timpson residents
Timpson, Texas resident Tonya Burch felt a much less subtle rumble, "The house just started shaking for like 30 seconds," said Burch and explained that first tremor just before 5 wasn't unusual. What surprised her, was the second 4.3 magnitude quake that followed exactly 2 hours later. "The other ones were not like that, they were days apart," said Burch and expressed her gratitude that her home wasn't damaged, but she is concerned about the frequency of the quakes and what future rumbles could bring.

Chicago Police Superintendent Threatens To Murder Concealed Carry Permit Holders
McCarthy said. “I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.” McCarthy doesn’t just seem to think it may happen; he almost seems to look look forward to it with some sort of vindictive wrath.

SJC to weigh wording of pledge
The state Supreme Judicial Court will begin hearing arguments this week in an atheist Acton couple’s quest to strike the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance their children say in the Acton-Boxboro Regional School District.

McCain: Shouting 'Allahu Akhbar!' Same as Christians Shouting 'Thank God!'
“I have a problem helping those people screaming that after a hit,” Kilmeade said. McCain responded: “Would you have a problem with an American or Christians saying ‘thank God? Thank God?’” He added, “That’s what they’re saying. Come on! Of course they’re Muslims, but they’re moderates and I guarantee you they are moderates.” McCain provided no evidence to suggest that Syrian opposition groups are moderate, as opposed to the wide swath of evidence suggesting that the opposition is heavily infested with al Qaeda.

What attack on Syria will mean
This war will not just be with a Syrian regime clinging tenuously to power. It will be a proxy war against Iran. If it were not for support from Iran, Bashar Assad would probably be out of power already. It would not even be an exaggeration to suggest Syria has become a client state of Iran, as has neighbor Lebanon. Think of Hezbollah as Iran’s terrorist foreign legion. It maybe represent the most significant military power in Syria and Lebanon. Last week, Iranian officials said if the U.S. launches missile attacks on Assad’s forces (meaning their own), Tehran would respond with missile attacks of its own – on Israel.

Senior PA official: Peace talks with Israel are going nowhere
Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians are proving pointless and will not bear fruit without much greater pressure from Washington, a top aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Wednesday.
