Rescue teams ploughed through concrete blocks and the debris of eight collapsed buildings in search of survivors of a powerful earthquake that struck Turkey’s Aegean coast and north of the Greek island of Samos, killing at least 28 people, fortunately authorities in the Turkish city of Izmir have managed to rescue people from the rubble, with many residents sleeping outside for fear of aftershocks, after more than 800 others were injured, casualties so far numbered to at least 26 people in Turkey, and two people were killed on the Greek island of Samos.

The quake hit Friday afternoon, toppling buildings in Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, and triggering a small tsunami in the district of Seferihisar and on Samos, followed by hundreds of aftershocks, as onlookers cheered as rescuers lifted teenager Inci Okan out of the rubble of a devastated eight-floor apartment block in Izmir’s Bayrakli district.

3………….> Biden Is A Rabid Dog: Comrade Un

.

There’s no question who North Korea would prefer to see in the White House: incumbent Donald Trump, after Comrade Un  has called Joe Biden a “rabid dog” that should be “beaten to death with a stick”, following remarks by “Uncle” Joe”, “Sleeping in a wrong century” Biden who criticized President Trump for putting-up with “thug” Kim Jong-un, implying that Mr. Kim will be a “tough” adversary with enhanced nuclear capabilities:

“He’s legitimized North Korea, he’s talked about his good buddy, who’s a thug — a thug — and he talks about how we’re better off,” Mr. Biden said at the final presidential debate.

North Korea isn’t too impressed with Mr. Biden, either. Last year state news outlet KCNA called him a “rabid dog” — misspelling his name “Baiden” in the process — and said such dogs “must be beaten to death with a stick”.

5…………> Bad Teacher Nabbed: University Of Michigan

.

DETROIT – A former University of Michigan professor is facing charges of child exploitation of a minor following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Today, ICE HSI Special Agent in Charge Vance Callendar joined United States Attorney Matthew Schneider in announcing the unsealing of an indictment charging the Ann Arbor, Michigan man with two counts of transporting a minor girl across state lines with the intent to engage in sexual conduct.

Charged was Stephen Shipps, 67, of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Shipps was arrested this morning and will be appearing in federal court for his arraignment via Zoom at 1pm today.

From 1989 to 2019, Shipps was employed by the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance as a violin professor. Shipps was also the director of the Strings Preparatory Program, which offered instruction to young musicians ranging from elementary school through high school-age. Shipps retired from the University of Michigan in February 2019. In addition, Shipps served on the faculties of Indiana University, the North Carolina School of the Arts, the University of Nebraska – Omaha, and the Banff Centre in Canada. He also taught students at summer music programs in the Czech Republic, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

The indictment alleges that in February and March of 2002, as well as in June and July of 2002, Shipps knowingly transported a young girl, who was under 18 years old, across state lines, and Shipps intended to engage in sexual activity with her.
