The start of the traditional Easter egg roll at the White House was delayed for 90 minutes on Monday as angry storm clouds delivered thunder and rain on the assembled guests. AP reports more than 40,000 people — 10,000 more than last year — were expected to play a part in the festivities and coax hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line.

President Biden opened the White House’s annual Easter egg roll on Monday on a hopeful note, addressing a morning wave of the thousands of children who will roll colored eggs down the South Lawn over the course of the day. “What I see looking across the South Lawn is a country made up of possibilities,” Biden told the crowd. “Anything is possible in America when we do it together.” For the second year in a row, the event was themed around “EGGugation” in honor of first lady Jill Biden’s 30 years as a teacher. Various education-themed activities were scattered around...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said that while the infrastructure legislation, the semiconductor legislation, and the Inflation Reduction Act that Democrats and President Joe Biden have passed are all pieces of “great” policy, all of these pieces of legislation “are taking a while to roll in where people actually feel it.”

I can't find anything on it yet other than it registered initially at 3.9 apparently at USGS. Will probably see some updates around later. Wife, and I were having lunch at 1:20 P.M. when we heard "THE SOUND" we hear often before the quake hits us. "THE SOUND" the quake makes traveling towards us, and then the inevitable WHAM, JUMP, SHAKE, and the "THE SOUND" as the quake moves on to surprise more unsuspecting luncheoneers across its path in Southern California. No damage. Just shook us up in the middle of egg salad sandwiches, and potato salad. Glad it wasn't...

The 7.1 magnitude earthquake that shook California on Friday also ripped open a fissure.

In years past, the event was over by noon. "Why are they still here?" I wondered. I soon found out. As I approached the gate, I overheard a young mother complaining to another mom, as both of their four-year-olds screamed their lungs out, "Can you believe this? We've been waiting four hours now, and the line isn't moving. My kids are hungry, and there's no food."

U.S. President Barack Obama reads the children's book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" alongside his dog Bo and U.S. first lady Michelle Obama reads the book 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' to children during the 135th annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, April 1, 2013. U.S. President Barack Obama speaks alongside first lady Michelle (2nd R), their daughters Sasha (2nd L) and Malia (3rd R), Michelle Obama's mother Marian Robinson (L) and the Easter Bunny as they participate in the 135th annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the...

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney are deadlocked in the historical bellwether of Ohio, according to a poll from Suffolk University released Monday. The poll shows Obama and Romney each earning the support of 47 percent of likely Buckeye State voters. Both Obama and Romney are also viewed favorably by 50 percent of Ohio voters.

This is pretty wild... A phenomenon known as a 'roll cloud' -a very rare form of Arcus cloud- was seen in eastern Texas early this morning... it's formed when a cool outflow of air from a substantial thunderstorm jets-out ahead of the system in a rotating rope that can run 50 miles long...

Roll Call "Political Wire" editor Taegan Goddard selected a drawing by liberal Arizona Daily Star political cartoonist David Fitzsimmons for his August 1 "Cartoon of the Day." The cartoon (embedded after the page break) depicts a battle-scarred U.S. Capitol and White House in 1942 outside of which Nazi and Japanese Empire flags fly in lieu of the Stars and Stripes. A speech balloon coming from the Capitol dome reads, "At least we didn't go into debt," while the caption reads "If Congress had passed the Tea Party's Balanced Budget Amendment in 1940."

Todd ‘Let’s Roll’ Beamer’s father, David, condemns Obama’s self-aggrandisement over the Osama bin Laden assassination "Nothing Obama does now can ever wipe the slate clean of all the other anti-American, pro-Islamic policies he has put forth."

Last week he was called “fair” and “just.” Today, Judge John Roll, the federal judge killed in the Tucson shooting, is being called a hero. Police say security footage from the Safeway store where the shooting occurred shows accused gunman Jared Loughner walking up to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and shooting here at close range — the video shows only a wisp of her hair, however. Loughner then turns and begins firing indiscriminately into the crowd. “He wheels this direction and that direction firing,” Chris Nanos, a captain with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department who has viewed the video, told the...

Cameras rolled as suspect Jared Loughner allegedly fired all 31 bullets in the clip of his Glock, plus another round that was already in the chamber, at a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz., on Jan. 8. At the outset of the melee, unidentified sources who have seen the video tell the Washington Post, Loughner walked straight up to congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and shot her above the left eye from about two or three feet away. Within moments, Loughner also allegedly shot Chief Arizona U.S. District Judge John Roll, who had tried to take cover under a table. As Roll did so,...

You might be seeing a lot of Eric Fuller over the weekend. He’s one of the people injured in Jared Loughner’s shooting rampage, taking rounds in the knee and back. He’s also a vicious bigot, and because he’s elderly and a military veteran, the Left is going to fall in love with him. Fuller gave an interview with the Democracy NOW radio show, in which he said of the Tucson shootings: “It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle, and the rest got their first target.” Presumably he’s not talking about Judge John Roll. “Their wish for Second Amendment activism has...

"Judge Roll was recommended for the federal bench by John McCain 20 years ago, appointed by President George H.W. Bush, and rose to become Arizona's chief federal judge," Obama told the crowd at the University of Arizona. Roll's "colleagues described him as the hardest-working judge within the Ninth Circuit. He was on his way back from attending mass, as he did every day, when he decided to stop by and say, 'Hi,' to his representative." ... Loughner's alleged killing of Roll may only be a crime under federal law if Roll was on business and not merely stopping by to...

Weird. It's been years since I felt three earthquakes in a week much less in 3 days. Guess it's time to pack up and move to the Sierra's for some excellent beach front property.

Just had another earthquake. A baby one maybe a 3? San Jose
