North Korea fires three more test missiles
What, me worry? North Korea today fired three test ballistic missiles into an area of the Sea of Japan considered part of the Japanese defense zone, repeating their previous test.
Unlike the previous test, these were ground-based missiles. Either way, the Obama administration was immediately on the case!
In a statement, the US said it “strongly condemns” the multiple launches. The move came at a potentially embarrassing time for North Korea’s only real ally, China, which is currently hosting the G20 summit in Hangzhou. “Today’s reckless launches by North Korea threaten civil aviation and maritime commerce in the region,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said on Monday. “We will raise our concerns at the UN about the threat posed to international security by these programs,” he continued. “We will also do so in other fora — including the upcoming East Asia Summit — to bolster international resolve to hold the DPRK accountable for its provocative actions. Our commitment to the defense of our allies in the face of these threats remains ironclad.”
I especially like this State Department spokeman’s use of “fora”, the Latin plural of “forum.” That’s telling ’em! We aren’t going only raise this issue in one forum, we’re going to raise it in many forums!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

And we shall raise the issue with such amazing attention to the details of grammar and proper usage of plurals that the enemy shall certainly repent.
Enough conferences and Dear Leader Kim will run out of missiles.
Why Obama or anyone like him must never be the president.

Ask a Liberal this question: What is more important to you, to be loved or respected?
Any adult with any life experience will answer pretty swiftly, respect. A Liberal / Leftist or person without actual relevant life experience will hesitate and will ponder, hmmmm…. Love…….or………respect, hmmmmm.
(the thought process of potential fertilizer)
Because Obama is in this latter category he is a danger to himself and everyone that he through his fiduciary responsibility is sworn to protect. He ponders that it might be a good (strong, In his opinion) strategy pledging to never use a nuclear weapon and thinks it in public.
Have no doubt, always choose respect, love can manifest itself, but not without first there being respect. Its similar to the axiom: First we eat, then civilization. Very basic but essential truths.
Cotour,
What do you mean? Of course the new president should nuke Mecca and Medina as an opening for negotiations about how all muslims must convert. How could humanity survive otherwise?
