HILO, Hawaii – An “explosive” eruption from Hawaii’s Kilauea summit sent a plume of ash soaring 30,000 feet into the air Thursday morning, filling the air with the stench of sulfur dioxide as residents nearby are being urged to shelter in place, Fox News reports.
The National Weather Service issued an ashfall advisory in effect until 8 a.m. Friday. USGS Volcanoes reported the explosion around 5 a.m. local time, showing photos at the Halemaumau crater that captured volcanic ash billowing out.
From Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency:
This is a Civil Defense Message for Thursday, May 17 at 7 a.m.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has advised of an explosive eruption at Kilauea summit that occurred at 4:17 a.m. This eruption is generating an ash plume as high as 25,000 feet. The resulting ash plume may affect the surrounding areas. The wind may carry the ash plume north towards Kau, Volcano, Mt. View, Kea’au and as far as Hilo. National Weather Service has issued an ashfall advisory until 12 p.m.
Due to elevated sulfur dioxide (S02) levels, Pahoa High, Intermediate, and Elementary School Complex, Keonepoko Elementary, Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science, Volcano School of Arts and Science will be closed.
County, State and Federal partners continue to monitor the situation. You will be informed of any conditions that affect your safety.
The danger from this eruption is ash fallout. The major response is to protect yourself from fallout.
If this event occurs while you are at home, stay indoors with the windows closed. Turn on your radio and listen for updates from authorities.
If you are in your car, keep the windows closed. Ash fallout may cause poor driving conditions, due to limited visibility and slippery driving conditions. Drive with extreme caution, or pull over and park.
After the hazard has passed, do check your home, and especially your catchment system for any impact that may affect your water quality.
Mac Slavo at SHTFplan.com reports that the volcano’s plume is posing a threat to aircraft and human life, prompting a code red aviation warning.
A massive plume of ash rising from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano prompted a warning yesterday to pilots planning to fly over the area. The eruption isn’t just dangerous to people on the ground anymore — it could also bring down planes. A code red warning has been issued, as the eruption continues to intensify.
Kilauea has been spurting lava, molten rock, and poisonous gases from multiple massive fissures on the island of Hawaii since May 3rd. On Tuesday morning, the Halema’uma’u crater on Kilauea’s summit also began continuously gushing ash — creating a plume that rose up to 10,000 feet in the air. Rocks falling into the vent may be responsible for more intense ash spurts. But that’s not even the worst of it, the US Geological Survey warned: “At any time, activity may become more explosive, increasing the intensity of ash production and producing ballistic projectiles near the vent.”
In addition to dangers from the bubbling, scalding-hot lava from the Kilauea volcano, residents on the Big Island of Hawaii are enduring threats from both vog and volcanic ashfall. The U.S. Geological Survey issued a “code red” for ashfall late Tuesday, due to the hazard it poses for airplanes and jets. Vog, short for volcanic smog, is the haze formed by gas and fine particle emissions from volcanoes, according to the American Meteorological Society.
Mad Maxine About To Lose It All After Trump Busts Her In BIG Lie – LOCK HER UP For Good!

Maxine Waters was rated one of the “most corrupt” members of Congress in 2005, 2006, and 2008 by the George Soros-funded watchdog CREW named “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.” And In 2008, she was charged with three counts of ethical violations after allegedly helping OneUnited Bank secure $12 million in federal bailout funds while hiding the fact that her husband owned stock in the bank.
But to add to all those ethics violations we now learn that Waters has an issue which is called “Projecting.” Because her own daughter has gotten more than $600,000 working for Maxine’s campaign. A campaign which runs on public donations. Karen Waters has been on her mother’s campaign committee payroll, Citizens for Waters, since 2006, and she oversees an operation called “slate mailers,” or “endorsement mailers.” The slate mailer operation is a lucrative enterprise where an established politician like Maxine Waters gets paid to endorse a political candidate. Politics is that dirty and California Democrats may have the cornered the market on that.
Here is more on Karen Waters cushy job via The Free Beacon: “The daughter of Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) was paid nearly $70,000 by her mother’s campaign during the 2016 election cycle.
Karen Waters has been on the payroll of her mother’s campaign committee, Citizens for Waters, since 2006. She has pulled in more than $600,000 for her services since that time.
Karen is in charge of endorsement mailers, known as “slate mailers,” for her mother’s campaign. The slate mailer operation has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for Waters’ federal campaign committee in recent years.
In order to appear on a Waters’ slate mailer, candidates for political office must pay Citizens for Waters from their own political committees. If a candidate does not directly pay Waters’ campaign committee, they must credit their own campaigns with in-kind contributions from Waters.
The mailers are sent to almost 200,000 constituents in the South Central Los Angeles area, where Waters holds considerable sway. The mailers consist of an “official sample ballot” with quotes from Waters about candidates and measures she supports.
Waters’ campaign received more than 20 payments totaling $297,500 for slate mailer endorsements in 2016.
The largest payments, worth $35,000, were made by the Democratic State Central Committee of California and Yes on Measure M, a group that pushed for an interconnected transportation system in Los Angeles. Measure M was approved with 70 percent of the vote on Nov. 8.
Democrat Kamala Harris, the former California attorney general who won a seat in the Senate this November, paid Citizens for Waters $30,000 to appear on the endorsement mailers, campaign finance records show.
This was not the first time Harris has paid for Waters’ endorsement.
Harris made two payments totaling $28,000 to Waters in 2010 to appear on the mailer when she was running for attorney general.
A number of California ballot measure groups and judges also paid Waters tens of thousands for her endorsement this past election cycle.
Prior to 2006, Karen ran the operation from a state committee called LA Vote. The Federal Election Commission issued an advisory opinion in late 2004 stating that Waters could run the slate mailers through her own federal campaign committee.
Karen pulled in $65,287 overseeing the slate mailer operation in 2016, making her the third-largest recipient of Waters campaign funds that cycle. Karen, together with her firm Progressive Connections, has received over $600,000 in payments from the Waters campaign since 2006.
The Washington Free Beacon reached out to Waters’ office for comment on the payments last week but did not receive a response.”
The corruption in California seems to run deep. Maxine Waters allegedly went after the daughter of a sitting president for no reason while she pays her own daughter $750k to send out 200,000 mailers. Really? Either she carried those mailers to each address herself or Waters is just getting a really bad deal.
Should this be investigated? Does anyone believe it costs that much to mail a few items? It seems like quite an expense that may have come with a side order of fraud.
Will you share this with someone who might be interested? Do you think Maxine Waters is wrapped up in fraudulent activity?
What would happen if the “mailers” situation was looked into further by the authorities? Share your comments below so you can join in the conversation about it.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his South Korean counterpart Kang Kyung-wha held emergency talks on Wednesday following North Korea’s cancellation of ministerial talks with Seoul and threats to pull out of the Trump-Kim summit scheduled to be held in Singapore on June 12, Aljazeera reports.
The US State Department confirmed to Al Jazeera on Thursday that the call took place between Pompeo and Kang.
“Secretary Pompeo and the Foreign Minister Kang of South Korea had the opportunity to speak last evening by phone, and we continue to coordinate closely.”
The U.S. intends to maintain military pressure on North Korea to ensure America engages the Kim Jong-un regime from a “position of strength” to achieve significant steps towards the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, a top Pentagon official indicated on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged on Wednesday it was unclear if his summit with North Korea would go ahead after Pyongyang threatened to pull out of the unprecedented meeting, a move that could deny him a potentially major foreign policy achievement.
North Korea threw into doubt the June 12 summit between its leader Kim Jong Un and Trump on Wednesday, saying it might not attend if Washington continues to demand it unilaterally abandon its nuclear arsenal. North Korea also called off talks with South Korea scheduled for Wednesday, blaming U.S.-South Korean military exercises, Reuters reports.
Washington will still insist that North Korea gives up its nuclear weapons despite the threat to cancel the historic summit, said Trump.

After Trump Calls MS-13 Gang Members ‘Animals,’ Pelosi Gets Caught In Nasty Lie

After President Donald Trump recently referred to MS-13 gang members as “animals,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pounced on the chance to derail the truth and got caught in a nasty lie.
There are few politicians in office who make a better case for term limits than California’s Democrat demon hag Nancy Pelosi. Although Pelosi isn’t leading the charge for the left in their quest to impeach President Donald Trump, she won’t pass up the opportunity to flat out lie about what he said about MS-13 gang members who have invaded many American cities.
According to Daily Caller, on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, President Trump referred to violent MS-13 gang members as “animals,” and the mainstream media conveniently took his comments out of context to make it seem that he was speaking about all illegal immigrants.
It didn’t take long for Nancy Pelosi to echo the liberal media and accuse Trump of calling illegal immigrants animals during a press conference on Thursday. The only problem, of course, is that Pelosi is flat out lying.
In the initial conversation, Trump was asked about MS-13 by Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims during her remarks about California sanctuary city laws. Before the President commented, Mims said, “There could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.”
According to Fox News, Trump replied, “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before.”
Those were Trump’s exact words in regard to MS-13 gang members. He wasn’t talking about all illegal immigrants or any other group of people except those belonging to the MS-13 gang, but still, the mainstream media and Democrats jumped at the opportunity to twist his words.
President Donald Trump was clearly talking about the murderous members of MS-13 which is responsible for innumerable acts of violence in the U.S. every week, but when Nancy Pelosi approached the subject, she used a discussion on humanity and feeding the hungry as an on-ramp. In my opinion, her use of America’s “food insecure” population to attack Trump is inexcusable.
“It reminds me that — and as I was talking about the religious groups and how they’re concerned about feeding the hungry and the Gospel of Matthew and the rest — thirty-one million people in our country are food insecure,” Nancy said, adding that “some of us who are attracted to the political arena, to government, and public service” believe that “we are all God’s children” and that “there is a spark of divinity among every person on earth, and we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person.”
She continued, “We recognize our responsibilities with that spark of divinity within us. And, so, when the President of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, ‘These aren’t people, these are animals,’ you have to wonder. Does he not believe in the spark of divinity? The dignity and worth of every person?” She questioned. “These are not people, these are animals,” Pelosi said, repeating the President’s words out of context again.
Grimly, Nancy Pelosi pinched at the air and repeated again, “The President of the United States. Every day that you think you’ve seen it all, along comes another manifestation of why their policies are so inhumane and why we have to continue the debate, striving for bi-partisanship with openness about what is at stake and what the choices are and to be unified in every way possible. Calling people animals is not a good thing.”
I have never heard such a ridiculous load of crap spoken at one time until Nancy Pelosi’s moronic rant on Thursday. If Pelosi takes her religious inclinations seriously, I’d advise her to be more careful about referencing God and then lying in the same breath.
Pelosi truly has no conscience because, if she did, she wouldn’t have blatantly lied about what Trump said. The bottom line is that MS-13 gang members are animals and many deserve the death penalty for the merciless killings they’ve committed. Once again, the left shows its penchant for lying, and this time, they got caught.
