The famed San Andreas Fault in California is nearly identical to the one that caused last week’s destructive tremor in Myanmar, and is also overdue for an earthquake.
Epstein accuser deathbed FBI hit sham Glenn’s got questions– www.theblaze.com Source Link Excerpt:
Over the weekend, Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffery Epstein’s most public accusers, posted on Instagram claiming she was in a serious car crash with a school bus in Perth, Australia, and had only four days left to live. In the picture, Giuffre appears to be beaten up.
Western Australian police reports, however, don’t exactly corroborate her story. According to their documentation, there was a “minor crash” that matches the approximate date and general area Giuffre referred to, but no ambulances were called and no injuries were reported. Further, the East Metropolitan Health Service, which oversees Royal Perth Hospital — Western Australia’s main trauma center near where the crash allegedly happened — told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the hospital had “no record” of Giuffre being admitted to any of its facilities.
The discrepancies between Giuffre and local authorities’ reports has ignited some wild rumors online — including that the crash was orchestrated by the FBI, which is trying to prevent Giuffre from testifying, or that Epstein is actually alive and somehow responsible for the collision.

DOGE Moves to Gut CDC Work on Gun Injuries, Sexual Assault, Opioid Overdose Data, and More – Mother Jones– www.motherjones.com Source Link Excerpt:
On Tuesday, thousands of staffers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta received early morning emails asking them to resign. The centers affected included those working on reproductive health, chronic disease, occupational safety, birth defects, smoking, tuberculosis, asthma and air quality, accidental and intentional injury, and prevention of violence and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
“It’s a blood bath this morning,” one CDC employee messaged me. Several others told me that their entire departments had received the letters. It wasn’t immediately clear whether everyone who had received the notices would ultimately be laid off.
“I regret to inform you that you are being affected by a reduction in force (RIF) action,” the letters stated. “After you receive this notice, you will be placed on administrative leave and will no longer have building access beginning Tuesday, April 1, unless directed otherwise by your leadership.” This action follows the announcement last week, by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to cut 10,000 employees from the agency. “This overhaul will be a win-win for taxpayers and for those that HHS serves,” Kennedy said in a statement. “That’s the entire American public because our goal is to Make America Healthy Again.”
Yet the staffers I talked to weren’t convinced that the cuts would improve public health or efficiency—on the contrary, they said they worried that government efforts to improve the lives of Americans would be undermined.
Myanmar Quake Death Toll Could Reach 10,000, CBN Mobilizes Relief Effort– www.cbn.com Source Link Excerpt:
Rescue crews in Myanmar used jackhammers and shovels to find any survivors amid the devastation from Friday’s powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake.
Many citizens resorted to digging through the debris by hand, trying to locate anyone still trapped.
At one site, an official said they had detected possible signs of life under the rubble.
Rescue efforts have been hampered by buckled roads, downed bridges, and strong aftershocks, including a 5.1 magnitude aftershock Sunday afternoon.
The UN is warning of a shortage of medical supplies, especially since the quake hit in the middle of Myanmar’s ongoing civil war. There are long lines of victims in need.
The staff of CBN Myanmar is mobilizing to help victims, and a global relief team is deploying with clean water filters and solar lamps.

Oregon assisted suicide prescriptions jump another 8% last year after huge spike in 2023– www.lifesitenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
(Oregon Right to Life) — Oregon saw an 8% increase in physician-assisted suicide prescriptions in 2024, building upon a 30% spike in 2023, according to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA)’s 27th annual report on the state’s “Death With Dignity Act” (DWDA). Assisted suicide deaths accounted for nearly 1% of all Oregon deaths in 2024.
On Thursday, the Oregon Health Authority released its annual report on the state’s “Death With Dignity” data. The document showed an 8.2% increase in physician-assisted suicide prescriptions and a slight decrease (2.5%) in reported deaths – though ingestion status for 29% of patients was reportedly unknown as of the time of the report.
Physicians in Oregon wrote 607 DWDA prescriptions in 2024, compared with 561 in 2023. 376 individuals are known to have died after consuming the drugs last year, compared with 386 in 2023. 43 of those who died in 2024 had been prescribed the lethal drugs in a previous year.
Myanmar-Thailand earthquake live updates: Myanmar faces worst devastation in Asia in 100 years – ABC News Source Link Excerpt:
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake rattled much of Southeast Asia on Friday, resulting in mounting casualties and flattened skyscrapers from Myanmar to Thailand.
The epicenter was in Mandalay, Myanmar, the country’s second-largest city. Even Bangkok, some 600 miles away, felt widespread shaking and saw significant damage from the quake — including the total collapse of a skyscraper under construction.
FBI’s Tesla task force is justified– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
Last week, the FBI created a task force to investigate a wave of violent attacks targeting Tesla, Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company. This comes in response to at least 80 such cases reported in the United States and Canada in 2025, including torching and shooting Tesla vehicles, vandalism, and planting incendiary devices in Tesla dealerships. The attacks have increased in severity and frequency in recent weeks, which has prompted both Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to label them as acts of domestic terrorism.
“The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla,” Patel wrote on X, “and over the last few days, we have taken the additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response. This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice,”
The multi-agency effort, which will involve the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives working with state and local law enforcement, is a welcome development. The copycat nature of the attacks — most often, they occur at night by lone attackers — in addition to the high-profile targets and politically charged environment, has raised fears of a deadly escalation. It is crucial that authorities be proactive to prevent such an incident and that examples are made of attackers to deter future copycats.
Monday’s revelation that “incendiary devices” had been found inside the showroom at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, no doubt raised the stakes. Thankfully, they were removed by a bomb squad safely. But the incident underscored the crisis. The Tesla attacks cannot be brushed aside as petty acts of vandalism by young and overeager political activists. They are intended to inspire terror and effect political change. As such, they meet the textbook definition of domestic terrorism.

British MP Changes Her Mind, Will Vote Against Assisted Suicide Bill– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Naz Shah, a Labour MP who originally supported assisted suicide is opposing the Kim Leadbeater assisted suicide bill. The UK assisted suicide bill passed at second reading by a vote of 330 to 275. The bill was debated in committee where there were 393 proposed amendments with only 32 of the amendments accepted.
Shah is one of many MP’s who support assisted suicide in principle but are opposing the bill. Opposition to the bill may be the reason why Leadbeater, the sponsor of the bill, recently stated that, if passed, implementation of the assisted suicide bill would be delayed until 2029.
David Maddox, the Political Editor for The Independent, wrote an article that was published on March 30. Maddox explains why Shah is opposing the assisted suicide bill:
A Labour MP who had originally been inclined to vote in favour of Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying legislation has claimed that the bill now has weaker safeguards than when MPs voted on it in November.
The Bradford West MP, who served on the committee scrutinising the bill, had hoped that safeguards could be strengthened to make it workable but now claims the legislation is “fundamentally flawed”.
Maddox further reports on why Shah opposes the assisted suicide bill
…Ms Shah has said she is “very disappointed” and “disheartened” with the direction taken after hopes they could ensure the safeguards were robust.
She revealed: “Kim [Leadbeater] is a friend and when she first told me about the bill I was inclined to vote for it. But the more I looked at the details, the more concerns I had.”
Top among these were concerns over the way people who suffer from domestic abuse and have disabilities could potentially be coerced into ending their lives early. As someone who had suffered previously from domestic abuse in a forced marriage, these issues were important to her.
Ms Shah also made headlines during the process when she was forced to leave a session because her hearing aid batteries had run flat. An attempt to push through amendments had seen the session extended despite pleas from Ms Shah that she could not take part.
Manslaughter charge for wig-making influencer who fatally struck Brooklyn mom, 2 kids, with Audi– www.nydailynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The unlicensed driver police say fatally struck a mother and her two children in Brooklyn has been charged with manslaughter — just months after the wig-making social media influencer won a $2 million lawsuit against the NYPD, law enforcement sources say.
Audi driver Miriam Yarimi, 32, had a suspended license when she got behind the wheel Saturday afternoon, police said. She was headed north on Ocean Parkway in Midwood when she collided with a 2023 Toyota Camry with TLC plates making a right turn off Quinten Rd., police said
Yarimi then careened into the crosswalk, hitting a 35-year-old mother and her three young children, police said. The mom and her two daughters, ages 5 and 8, died on the scene, while the third child, a 4-year-old boy, was hospitalized in critical condition.
Three people — an adult and two children — were killed Saturday after an Audi driver collided with a silver Toyota Camry Uber and careened toward a small group walking on Ocean Parkway near Quentin Road in Brooklyn. (Theodore Parisienne / New York Daily News)
Yarimi’s Audi, which sports the vanity plate “WIGM8KER,” overturned in the crash, landing upside down. First responders had to extricate Yarimi from the luxury sedan before taking her to to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in stable condition.
Anti-Musk/Tesla Protesters Caught Using Note Cards, ‘Cheat Sheets’– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
As far-left activists mobilized across the nation for “Tesla Takedown” protests targeting company owner Elon Musk over his involvement with the Trump Administration, citizen journalists and internet sleuths raised questions about the highly coordinated nature of the “grassroots” protests.
Left-wing activists, pundits and elected Democrats urged supporters to participate in nationwide “Tesla Takedown” protests outside company dealerships over the weekend. While small groups of left-wing protesters have been protesting outside Tesla dealerships for weeks — in addition to increasing acts of violence against Tesla dealers and owners — this weekend’s protests were billed as the biggest yet.
Turnout was rather lackluster outside deep blue enclaves, however. In San Antonio, Texas — the second biggest city in the Lonestar State and one of the most populous in the nation with 1.5 million residents — less than a dozen protesters showed up to each of two planned demonstrations in the city.
Breitbart News reported that the small rabble held up anti-Musk and anti-Trump signs, most of which contained Swastikas and other Nazi imagery. Despite the pitiful turnout, organizers and city subreddit users described it as “great” and “overwhelming.”
Tesla protestor banner: ‘Burn a Tesla, save democracy’– www.americanthinker.com Source Link Excerpt:
A recent “take down Tesla” protest shut down a road adjoining a Tesla showroom in Manhattan.
Profuse swearing, including many variations of the eff word, could be heard during the demonstration, along with chants of “Elon Musk has got to go.” A banner being held up by multiple protesters read, “Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy.”
(Say what?! These agitators, paid or not, are not rocket scientists. By contrast, Musk — and quite a few of his associates — actually are.)
Talk about a non-sequitur! What does burning a Tesla have to do with saving a democracy?! If anything, it will create fear, chaos, anger, and police action, all anathema to democracy.
What’s the next slogan for these pathetic poetic picketers?
“Rape a girl, fight climate change?” “Slug a Jew, foster tolerance?” “Kill an insurance CEO, preserve morality?” “Torch your town, help local government?” “Ride a cowboy, save the whales?” “Rob a convenience store, save the rainforest?”
Memo to the Tesla torchers: If you don’t believe others have the right to drive the kind of car they want and to make their own decisions and exercise free will, and you feel morally superior in this belief, you are the problem. If you virtue signal by mocking, threatening, and hurting others with whom you disagree, you are the fascist.
