The odds of a sizable asteroid striking Earth are small, but they’re never zero. Large asteroids have struck Earth in the past, causing regional devastation. A really large asteroid strike likely contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs, reports universetoday.com. So we shouldn’t be too surprised that astronomers have discovered an asteroid with a better than 1% chance of striking our world. Those odds are large enough we should keep an eye on them, but not large enough that we should start packing bags and fleeing to the hills. The rock, named 2024 YR4, is somewhere between 40 – 100 meters wide, which would make it a “city killer” asteroid. If it does strike Earth, it wouldn’t decimate human civilization and cause mass extinctions, but it could destroy a heavily populated area if it struck a city, or trigger a tsunami if it struck the ocean. It would back a punch similar to the 1908 Tunguska event in Northern Siberia. So what is the overall risk of 2024 YR4? The scale most commonly used for asteroid impact risks is known as the Torino Scale. It combines the overall size and relative speed of an object with its odds of impact to assign a number ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means there is no risk of impact and 10 means it’s time to call Bruce Willis to save us all from extinction. That said, the highest number any asteroid has had on the scale is 4. This was for the asteroid Apophis soon after its discovery, which has now been downgraded to 0. Currently, 2024 YR4 has a 3 on the scale, which means it “merits attention by astronomers.” It is currently the only object with a number other than 0 on the Torino Scale, and it means a couple of things come into play. The first is that the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) will work to pin down the orbit of the asteroid. Chaired by NASA, the IAWN coordinates with observatories around the world to make detailed observations of 2024 YR4. It will take time to gather enough data. But what will likely happen is that they will determine there is no risk of collision, and 2024 YR4 will be demoted to 0 on the scale. The second thing initiated is the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group (SMPAG), chaired by the European Space Agency. They have a scheduled meeting next week when there will be some initial discussions about a possible mission to 2024 YR4 to shift its orbit. If we do find there is a real risk of impact, this group would ramp up quickly. But again, this isn’t likely. Statistically, asteroids the size of 2024 YR4 strike Earth every couple thousand years or so. This is why astronomers track these objects and are constantly looking for more. So even though the odds of an impact are never zero, with planning and preparation we should be able to ensure that any real risk can be mitigated.

It’s been a busy month for your friendly neighborhood bias-trackers here at NewsBusters.  The leftist media began it by attacking President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees and dumping on his (inauguration) moment.  They then proceeded to libel Trump and Elon Musk as a bunch of fascist Nazis, while tossing final bouquets to Joe Biden.  The following are just some of the most obnoxious outbursts from leftist anchors, hosts, correspondents and pundits over the past month:    MSNBC’s Measuring Scale for Trump     “On a fascism scale of one to ten with ten being peak fascism, how would you rate Trump’s first week?” — Substitute host Katie Phang to Democratic strategist James Carville on MSNBC’s The Beat, January 24.   We’re Not Saying Trump and Musk Are Nazis But…     “The first time that Elon Musk decides to declare that globalist Jews are responsible for the Great Replacement of brown people into the United States, maybe it was a misunderstanding. You know, the second time he said that ‘Jews are pushing hatred against white people,’ that’s a quote, you know, that was a little iffy. By the second Sieg Heil, I think he kind of loses the benefit of the doubt to be not accused of playing footsie with these Nazis. I’m not saying he’s a Nazi, I’m saying the Nazis think he’s a Nazi.”— Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell on CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillip, January 27.      “Similarities to what happened in Germany, and what’s happening now in America are just undeniable….Trump and Stephen Miller, his former director of speechwriting, depict non-white immigrants as carriers of deadly diseases who are violent terrorists. Trump was returned to the presidency after staging a coup, and has exerted control of media or social media in order to parrot anti-immigrant vitriol and openly hateful anti-LGBTQ language, which is what Meta just did….There are the business leaders who pay him, fund him, and think they can control him. And then there was this startling image of Trump’s biggest paymaster Elon Musk, that many likened to a Nazi salute….I’m not saying that Donald Trump, his administration or his supporters want to exterminate millions of people in death camps but just ask yourself, who do they blame right now for all of our problems? It’s certainly not the greedy corporations or failed Republican policies.”— Host Joy Reid on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, January 27. “Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena. ‘Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,’ Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the ‘Sieg Heil’ used by Nazis at their victory rallies. ‘It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured,’ Musk said.”— From January 20 post on PBS’s News Hour X.com account.   Trump Advocated for “Ethnic Cleansing” in Gaza      Host Joy Reid: “Over the weekend, Donald Trump suggested moving more than a million Palestinians out of Gaza and into neighboring countries to, quote, ‘clean out’ the Gaza Strip. Clip of President Donald Trump: “I’d like Egypt to take people, and I’d like Jordan to take people. I mean, you’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”...Reid: “I was stunned by the Associated Press reporting of the quote that we just heard Donald Trump saying in sound. And they did not use the word ‘ethnic cleansing’ in the Associated Press report, but what he described is ethnic cleansing, right?”MSNBC political analyst Peter Beinart: “Absolutely. I’m glad it’s on tape so that, you know, hopefully, one day Donald Trump is before the Hague on some kind of international criminal tribunal, this can be played.” — MSNBC’s TheReidOut, January 27.    Trump Ends DEI, Will He Put Black Men in Cages?     “Trump’s actions [ending DEI programs] echo President Woodrow Wilson’s then-unprecedented segregation of federal offices in 1913….That policy led to blacks being segregated or just summarily dismissed from federal positions nationwide….Those black workers who managed to keep their jobs, they were often subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment. In an open letter to Wilson, W.E.B. DuBois wrote, quote, ‘We are told that one colored clerk who could not actually be segregated on account of the nature of his work has consequently had a cage built around him to separate him from his white companions of many years.’ Take a second to let that sink in. A cage.”— Host Katie Phang on MSNBC’s The Katie Phang Show, January 25.   You Voted for Trump and Eggs Are Still “Expensive,” “Great Job White Folks!”     “I wrote specifically about this issue — what he [Donald Trump] was going to do to the Department of Justice.…A majority of white people voted for this. This is the disgusting version of America that people want, and, oh, by the way, eggs are still more expensive. So you didn’t even get that. Great job, white folks.”— The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal on MSNBC’s Velshi, January 25.    Trump Going to Bring Back Segregation? “When does he bring back segregated water fountains?”— January 21 X.com post by former CNN White House correspondent and CNBC correspondent John Harwood in response to announcement that President Donald Trump is ending DEI programs.   Worried By All the White People in “This Crowd”     “I have to say, I’m looking at this crowd, and I do not see many people of color. Is — is anybody else besides me observed that? I’m fascinated by why that is.”— CBS Mornings host Gayle King on CBS News’s live coverage of Donald Trump Inauguration, January 20.   Dickerson Dumps on Trump’s Inaugural Moment     “As a tonal matter, we were talking about this day which has a kind of special grace that hovers over it, political grudges are paused. Donald Trump benefited from that grace in the ceremony, but as is often the case, he did not feel obliged to extend the same grace or ceremony. He talked at some length about the horrible betrayal about the President [Joe Biden] who is sitting right over his shoulder….Does he enjoy the benefits of the office but not the obligations?...He’s the only person ever to take the presidential oath who’s been accused by the leaders of his party in the House, the Senate and his own Vice President of actively working to overthrow an election and therefore break with that oath.”— Correspondent John Dickerson on CBS News’s live coverage of Donald Trump’s Inauguration, January 20.   So What If Trump Gets to Be President Again, As Long As We Get to Call Him a “Felon”      “What’s also great punishment is the sentencing today, where the judge said, ‘You’re going to be President, you’re not going to go to jail, but you’re a convicted felon.’ And so for the rest of his life, any story written about him will have to mention the fact that he’s a convicted felon.”— PBS contributor/Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart on PBS’s News Hour, January 10.   It’s Not California Democrat Incompetence, It’s Climate Change     “The Los Angeles wildfires have been devastating and should serve as a wake-up call to anyone disillusioned with politics and thinking about sitting out the upcoming Trump term. The reality is when it comes to the health of our planet we don’t have four years to spare. Experts say dry weather and high winds — brought on by climate change — will only make wildfires more common in California.”— Host Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation, January 12.   CBS Spin: Actually Biden Was Great!  “In many ways, he [Joe Biden] did deliver. His administration oversaw the successful rollout of the Covid vaccines, the stock market steadily rose to record highs, while unemployment fell to a near-record low….He did so while racking up legislative victories, including massive new investments in clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing….And scored a win that eluded his predecessors, signing a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.”— Correspondent Nancy Cordes on CBS Sunday Morning, January 19.    One Last Softball to Joe  “When you got up from that desk last night, that was really the final big public moment in a 50-year political career. Yeah, that’s how long it was….You’ve served in government longer than any person who’s ever served in this job. What did that feel like at the end of that speech?... We were pushed out of the room as people were surrounding you, hugging you, and as that emotion was filling the room….Was there a sense of the release of a burden getting up from that desk?”— Host Lawrence O’Donnell to President Joe Biden on MSNBC’s The Last Word, January 17.   American Voters “Gave Up on Democracy”     New York Times columnist/PBS contributor David Brooks: “We have followed him  [Joe Biden] for decades now. He’s done a wonderful job over the course of his career...But as Frank Foer wrote in The Atlantic today, his job was to end — to fight authoritarianism….to preserve democracy. And the election of Donald Trump suggested to some large degree he failed at that large mission.”....Washington Post Associate Editor/PBS contributor Jonathan Capehart: “I don’t know if it’s so much that he failed, because he did try….I just wonder if, with these results, the American people just sort of gave up on democracy, or wanting to, ‘Hey, let’s try this authoritarianism, this guy who has told us what he wants to do. Let’s give that a shot.’”— PBS News Hour, January 17.   Fact-Checkers Bravely Risking Their Lives Everyday, Just Like Firefighters “Cutting fact checkers from social platforms is like disbanding your fire department.”— Former CNN journalist and co-founder of fact-checking outlet Lead Stories Alan Duke, as reported in a January 15 CNN.com article.   Will Trump Immigration Limits Stop the Next Albert Einstein From Coming to America? “In this documentary, you tell the stories of these individuals who immigrated to the U.S. and they were very successful. People like Albert Einstein. You know, when you look at Einstein and you look at Henry Kissinger, they were refugees to this country. Donald Trump set refugee admissions at very low levels first term. He’s talking about block refugee admissions this term. Is that a mistake?”— Host Margaret Brennan to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich on CBS’s Face the Nation, January 12.   The Germans Voted for Hitler Too     Co-host Joy Behar: “This is not a normal inauguration. This is not a normal person. He’s a convicted felon. Why do they go as if this is a normal inauguration? It’s not.”...Co-host Sara Haines: “The normalizing of President Trump happened when the American public went out and voted.”Behar: “The Germans voted also. Just saying.”— ABC’s The View, January 17.    Joy Is Sad: I Miss Joe Biden Already  “I miss him already. I miss him. He’s a good person. You know, he spent the last 50 years caring about the country. This other one spent 50 years scamming everybody, you know, and trying to stay out of jail. You know who I’m talking about. You know, I really miss Biden. I feel like we were safe, like I didn't have to worry everything, was going to blow up — I could live my life while he was there. Now, every day I wake up and worry what is this guy going to do next and these oligarchs.”— Co-host Joy Behar on ABC’s The View, January 16. 

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart had an eventful time on Friday’s installment of PBS NewsHour. First, Capehart did his typical thing where he alleged President Trump’s recent press conference included “some of the most racist things I have ever heard come out of the White House.” Later, he said something so absurd that the usually amenable New York Times columnist David Brooks laughed at him when he claimed, “Trust me, the Democrats aren't in trouble.” Recapping the week that was, Capehart began, “We're 11 days in, and I'm resisting calling this chaos or confusion, because what this really is, is, this is what he ran on, taking a wrecking ball to the government.”     Capehart eventually focused on Trump’s press conference after the Army Black Hawk helicopter-civilian airliner crash as the main source of his indignation, “He does a — fine, he does a moment of silence, and then spends the next 25 minutes saying some of the most racist things I have ever heard come out of the White House, come out of the White House Press Briefing Room, come out of the mouth of the president of the United States, scapegoating anyone who isn't white, Christian, male, straight, for problems in the country, and then deflecting blame onto past presidents, Democratic presidents.” Capehart’s disgust of political blame games only appears to go one way as he added, “This is all — he ran this way. He said he was going to do these things. And, right now, all we can do is sit back and pray that the wrecking ball doesn't destroy us.” Later, host Amna Nawaz recalled, “Jonathan, you and your colleagues at MSNBC just hosted the forum for the [DNC Chair] candidates last night. What's your takeaway? Does this party have a direction?”     At that forum, Capehart again sought to reduce Kamala Harris’s defeat to racism and sexism, so naturally he thought things are going just fine in Democrat Land, “The party has a direction. Let me say this. I hesitated a bit. They are not unclear on what they stand for. What they are struggling with is, how do they convince the American people that they are where the American people said in the election they didn't think they were, that somehow the Republicans are now the party of the working class and care about the American people and the Democrats are the ones who are in league with billionaires and the elites?” He continued: What I took away from that — from the forum last night is that they are more concerned about misinformation, disinformation, getting the message out and how do they catch up with the incredible infrastructure that is there on the right. And so one thing I noticed is that, as each candidate was talking about what they wanted to do or what they thought or the direction of the party, you saw heads nodding all over the stage… But the Democrats — trust me, the Democrats aren't in trouble. Nawaz then kicked things over to Brooks, who laughed, “Democrats are in big trouble. Listen, their whole worldview has been blown apart. They thought of themselves as the party of the marginalized. They're now the party of the college-educated on the coast. They thought they could spend a lot of money, but it turns out that's kind of inflationary. They didn't think a lot of black and brown voters were going to vote for Donald Trump. Like, they should take a year off, my Democratic friends, take — do some serious thinking, because a lot of your mental categories have to be reinvented and reimagined.” Based off of that forum, Democrats would be wise to take Brooks's advice. Here is a transcript for the January 31 show: PBS News Hour 2/1/2025 7:37 PM ET JONATHAN CAPEHART: We're 11 days in, and I'm resisting calling this chaos or confusion, because what this really is, is, this is what he ran on, taking a wrecking ball to the government. This is what happens when you believe that the government is completely woke, however you’re defining it. And so you put out a memo saying, we're freezing funding. We're doing all these things that will hurt people. That press conference yesterday — let's just zero in on the press conference the president did yesterday, talking about a tragedy in the Potomac, 67 souls gone, and he gives lip service. He does a — fine, he does a moment of silence, and then spends the next 25 minutes saying some of the most racist things I have ever heard come out of the White House, come out of the White House Press Briefing Room, come out of the mouth of the president of the United States, scapegoating anyone who isn't white, Christian, male, straight, for problems in the country, and then deflecting blame onto past presidents, Democratic presidents. This is all — he ran this way. He said he was going to do these things. And, right now, all we can do is sit back and pray that the wrecking ball doesn't destroy us. … AMNA NAWAZ: Jonathan, you and your colleagues at MSNBC just hosted the forum for the candidates last night. What's your takeaway? Does this party have a direction? CAPEHART: The party has a direction. Let me say this. I hesitated a bit. They are not unclear on what they stand for. What they are struggling with is, how do they convince the American people that they are where the American people said in the election they didn't think they were, that somehow the Republicans are now the party of the working class and care about the American people and the Democrats are the ones who are in league with billionaires and the elites? What I took away from that — from the forum last night is that they are more concerned about misinformation, disinformation, getting the message out and how do they catch up with the incredible infrastructure that is there on the right. And so one thing I noticed is that, as each candidate was talking about what they wanted to do or what they thought or the direction of the party, you saw heads nodding all over the stage. And so while there are eight people, maybe half of them are — actually stand a chance. Maybe half of the half stand a chance. We’ll see. But the Democrats — trust me, the Democrats aren't in trouble. NAWAZ: I want to give David 30 seconds to respond here. DAVID BROOKS: Democrats are in big trouble. Listen, their whole worldview has been blown apart. They thought of themselves as the party of the marginalized. They're now the party of the college-educated on the coast. They thought they could spend a lot of money, but it turns out that's kind of inflationary. They didn't think a lot of black and brown voters were going to vote for Donald Trump. Like, they should take a year off, my Democratic friends, take — do some serious thinking, because a lot of your mental categories have to be reinvented and reimagined. CAPEHART: They don't have a year.
