North Korea tests short-range missiles
North Korea today conducted its first missile tests since November 2017, firing off several short-range “projectiles” into the Sea of Japan.
These are not the long-range ballistic missiles that North Korea was testing two years ago that had the potential of reaching the U.S. Still, this test indicates that this country remains an unpredictable threat to its neighbors and the world. The test also indicates we don’t yet have any agreement from them concerning demilitarization.
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 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

The North Koreans want Secretary Of State Pompeo removed from the negotiations for nuclear denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and in their frustration with not getting what THEY want they once again begin to shoot off missiles into the sea.
Sounds like things are going in the correct general direction.
Pompeo is not going anywhere because he is actually effective and the North Koreans need some way to turn both Trump’s and Pompeo’s hard choices for them to make, denuclearize or suffer extreme sanctions.
The carrot or the stick, a simple but effective strategy.
