Italy quake: Powerful tremor near Norcia destroys buildings
A strong earthquake has struck near Norcia in central Italy, destroying numerous buildings. The quakes come nearly two months after a major earthquake killed almost 300 people and destroyed several towns. Sunday's quake measured magnitude 6.6, larger than August's quake and aftershocks last week. It is thought to be Italy's most violent in decades.

Who is Huma? Shocking Abedin history you definitely wont see on CNN
Emails may be the least of the issues that are about to fall on Huma Abedin and her boss Hillary Clinton. A popular video circulating social media claims to show Abedin, who was raised in Saudi Arabia between the ages of two and 18, her family, and by extension Clinton, have ties to groups and people who fund terrorism.

Celebrate the Industrial Revolution and the Cheap Energy That Fueled It
The Industrial Revolution did not cause hunger, poverty and child labor. Rather, it helped eliminate them. As Johan Norberg notes, over the last two centuries, humanity has made massive improvements in terms of nutrition, sanitation, life expectancy, poverty, violence, literacy, environmental quality, political freedom, and child labor. Today, I want to discuss the role that the Industrial Revolution in general and fossil fuels, in particular, have played in bringing those improvements about.

Condescending Elites vs. The Vulgar Masses
The following quote is from the final volume – Bourgeois Equality – of Deirdre McCloskey‘s soaring trilogy on bourgeois values: "And if the creative destruction producing its irritating novelties is tested commercially we can at least be assured that on balance the mass of the people prefer it, in their vulgar, massy ways.  One suspects that the conservatives of left and right don’t much like the “mass” and its badly informed preferences.  Let us take care of you, they cry.  Let tradition celebrated by wise elders, or planning implemented by wise experts, guide you, oh you sadly misled mass.  And offstage the ancient lords and the cosy monopolists look on such conservative theorizing by the clerisy with delight, assured by it that their rents will be preserved."

Gun Control Measure Divides California’s Politicians, Law Enforcement
A gun control measure on California’s ballot Nov. 8 is pitting sheriffs, police chiefs, and prosecutors against most of the state’s political establishment. A state that already has some of the strictest limits on gun ownership in the nation is asking voters to impose regulations on ammunition sales and make it a crime not to report a stolen gun.

Flashback: Bill Clinton cheered 11th hour indictment that doomed Bush re-election
Whispers of "payback" are being directed at Hillary Clinton after she decried as "unprecedented" the surprise FBI revival of its probe of her email scandal. That's because 24 years ago, as former President George H.W. Bush was surging back against challenger Bill Clinton, a special prosecutor raised new charges against Bush in the Iran-Contra probe, prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a "culture of corruption."

New earthquake rocks Italy, buildings collapse but no deaths reported
A powerful earthquake struck Italy on Sunday in the same central regions that have been rocked by repeated tremors over the past two months, with more homes and churches brought down but no deaths reported.

Powerful Italy quake spares lives, but strikes at identity
The third powerful earthquake to hit Italy in two months spared human life Sunday but struck at the nation's identity, destroying a Benedictine cathedral, a medieval tower and other beloved landmarks that had survived the earlier jolts across a mountainous region of small historic towns. Lost or severely damaged were ancient Roman walls, Gothic and Baroque churches and centuries-old paintings crushed beneath tons of brick and sandstone and marble.
