Is Kim in Control of North Korea’s military?


By Jim Emerson,  staff writer
North Korea’s dictator, C is playing a mean game of chicken with South Korea and the United States.  This is how chubby little dictators behave to gain the attention of world leaders and garner support—grudging or otherwise– of their own populace. Most likely he is in a power play with older military leaders in a political battle royal to keep himself in power.
Nukes
This week the tyrant-in-training authorized the North Korean military to use untested nukes against American bases in South Korea. In poker this is called a bluff. It is also a ploy mainly for domestic consumption, not for external interests. Kim is untested and basically an unknown entity whose erratic behavior is a sign of immaturity which may lead to an inadvertent war. In fact, the only adults keeping Kim in check in the rouge nation are members of Korea’s military leadership. (1) During the current Kim power play, western think tanks and military officials have been unsure whether Kim is actually in charge of his own military.  And that is obviously dangerous.
China
The current Chinese leadership under Xi Jinping has shown signs of losing patience with the nuclear ambitions of Kim Jung Un. In fact, China agreed with United Nations sanctions against North Korea after its most recent nuclear test. (2) The mobilization of China’s military along the North Korean border is likely an effort to control the flow of refugees and defecting North Korean troops should Lil’ Kim do something particularly stupid in the near future. (3)
Just as Kim is looking for credibility, John Kerry is desperately seeking some measure of relevance as Secretary of State. Incredibly, the former presidential candidate–who rumor has it also served in Vietnam—actually hoped to display his own gravitas by announcing in response to Kim’s threats that the United States would deploy assets to defend herself and her allies. (4)  This nerd of nuance should have been advised that such thoroughly unnecessary rhetoric only serves to elevate Kim on the home front.
The best suggestion to topple the North Korean regime was offered by Chinese editor Deng Yuwen. He proposed that China encourage North Korea to adopt economic reforms, for once a little economic development takes hold, a government such as Kim’s must adjust or be overthrown by its own people.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda in Washington and elsewhere

by Ron Reale,  staff writer
We should only get mail delivered on Mondays and Thursdays.
The Conservatives in the House should be drafting a bill concerning the number of taxpayer funded vacations any future president gets, and a cap on costs over which the President is responsible. Going to Camp David or their private home for extended times are fine, as they are considered “working vacations”. High priced hotels, lavish multiple, separate family vacations on the taxpayer dime must have some restrictions. Even the Royal Family in Britain has a set allowance. There is no reason our President’s, (and other elected officials perks), should be unlimited or undefined.
No politician other than the president should receive any lifetime pension from the taxpayers above $100,000 a year.
A definition of the duties of the unelected first lady is due. A cap on their taxpayer funded activities is long overdue. These women are not elected, and there is no oversight of their spending. Their husbands should be personally responsible for the cost of their hobbies, not the public. If first ladies wish to spend taxpayer monies, let them get elected to do so.
The American Psychiatric Association should be held accountable for the death and damage their illogical and dangerous decisions cause. Public school education has been sacrificed and destroyed by their PC “global self-esteem” BS.Very expensive experimental psychotropic drugs that rewire the brain and create addicts who must keep taking the drug for the rest of their lives. Problems are not solved with a satisfied patient ending therapy. No, the drug companies and the venal frauds bilk the insurance companies for the overpriced medications you must take for the rest of your life.
With one exception, every mass shooting was perpetrated by someone on anti-depressants or some type of mood altering psychotropic drugs.
American society as a whole has been severely damaged by the illogical assertion by the APA that homosexuality is a “normal” lifestyle, against all evidence to the contrary. Feeding into the fantasy world of these pitiable mentally ill people, we now stand at a point where this tiny minority, (3.5%), is trying to convince the rest of the world, and forcibly indoctrinate our children, (with the Progressive enemies of America in our Government helping them at every step), into accepting their delusional and dangerous, lifestyle.
Churches and religious organizations should no longer recognize State marriage licenses. They should be free to marry anyone they choose, according to their beliefs, and it is none of the State’s business. It is the ultimate “Free Speech” and “Religious Freedom” issue, and should be forced to the courts by the religious organizations. Regular business partnership agreements will cover the inheritance, visitation and every other “right” now granted by the State recognition through the marriage contract. There should be no tax breaks for anyone based on whether or not they are married.
Our President’s,( and, by extension, our), taxpayer funded sponsorship of the terrorism of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is a direct and active threat against the UAE immediately, and the free world eventually.
On a personal note, we all face different obstacles and experiences in life. The death of a parent or loved one can quickly put all other matters into perspective. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and kind words concerning my mom’s passing. They gave me the strength to reorganize and go on living…and get married!
