Trump, Kim cross DMZ. Historic moment.

The Independent: Trump becomes first sitting US president to enter North Korea as he shakes hands with Kim Jong-un.

Donald Trump has become the first sitting US president to set foot in North Korea, stepping over the demilitarised zone to shake hands with Kim Jong-un.
[.]
Mr Trump stunned the world when he walked towards Mr Kim, shook hands and greeted him, and then stepped back across a line marking the North Korean border.
[.]
The two leaders then walked back over into South Korea for a meeting. Originally supposed to be a brief exchange of pleasantries, the encounter turned into private talks stretching to about 50 minutes.

Obligatory Post on Trump/Jong Un Singapore Summit

Good.

We'll see what happens.

If a Democrat president was doing this, the Libs and Media would be falling and fawning all over themselves and their (political) party in self-adoration.

Kim Jong Un brings his own toilet to Singapore

Kim Jong Un brings his own toilet to Singapore:  FOX News:

“Rather than using a public restroom, the leader of North Korea has a personal toilet that follows him around when he travels,” [said Lee Yun-keol, a North Korean defector who was previously a North Korean Guard Command unit.]  “The leader’s excretions contain information about his health status so they can’t be left behind.”

This is not the first time he has done this. CBS News:

The restrooms are not only in Kim Jong Un's personal train but whatever small or midsize cars he is traveling with and even in special vehicles that are designed for mountainous terrain or snow," a source in South Pyongan Province familiar with Kim's Escort Command told the DailyNK in 2015. "There are multiple vehicles within the convoy so that people cannot tell which one he is in, and there is a separate car that acts as his restroom."

Dennis Rodman; The mediator for North Korea?

Can former NBA great Dennis Rodman  be the answer in reducing tensions between the U.S. and North Korean Dictator Kimmy?

Well...maybe. Stranger things have happened.

From The Star Telegram:

[Rodman] appeared on “Good Morning Britain” via satellite from Los Angeles on Wednesday and was asked about his relationship with Kim and the multiple trips to North Korea.

The majority of the conversation with hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid centered on their activities, such as singing karaoke, riding horses and just sharing laughs without discussing politics.

I must interrupt this post to note that, IMO, Piers Morgan is a total, unadulterated, complete piece of used and discarded butt-wipe.

Piers Morgan: News fabricator.

Why is Morgan used and discarded butt-wipe? Because, as editor of the Daily Mirror, he approved of, and published, a phony picture on the front page of the Daily Mirror in 2004. BBC:

Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has been sacked after the newspaper conceded photos of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi were fake. 

This is the front page Morgan falsified:

Fake news; approved by Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan.

Ponder the motives behind an EDITOR of a MAJOR NEWSPAPER in approving FAKE NEWS.

Morgan also mocked President George W. Bush for falling off a Segway, and later, Pierszzzzzzz-zah fell to the pavement from his Segway ride.

Watch Morgan, two-hundreds pounds-of-shit-in-a-five-pound-bag, fall off his Segway...it's so precious:

I never get tired of watching that clip.

Pierszzzzzzz-zah broke three ribs from his fall; strangely - prior to that - he called riding a Segway "idiot-proof."

Welcome to The Idiots Hall of Fame, Pierszzzzzzzzzz-zah, where you are bestowed Chairman of the Board, CEO, CFO, COO, CIO and President of The Worldly Idiots Clubs.

I'm not a big Hugh Grant fan, but just who the hell is Pierszzzzzzzzz-zah to call Grant a "tedious, little man." And as only a selfish, insecure two-year old would act, Pierszzzzzzzzz-zah banned Grant from appearing on his program. Pierszzzzzzz-zah - a fat, pie-faced, pseudo-intellectual gnome - is simply jealous of Grant, a handsome guy.

You may be asking, "where does a fired newspaper editor who engaged and fostered FAKE NEWS, get a job?"  Why, CNN, of course.

And it's clear that "Good Morning Britain"  has no journalistic code of ethics that applies to whom they hire. 

Back to Dennis Rodman. From MSN:

Rodman, 56, has made several trips to North Korea after developing a friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over their shared love of basketball. Kim is reportedly a big fan of the 90s Chicago Bulls. Rodman's last visit came in June.

As long as President Donald Trump has said, regarding North Korea, "all options are on the table," who knows if Rodman can make a difference? Maybe he can. We don't know. I don't see how Dennis can make things worse. Let's give him a chance.

Maybe Kimmy wants is his own NBA franchise?

Let Dennis do his thing. If what he does, in any way, helps bring about some type of détente between the U.S. and NK, it doesn't matter who or how we get there - only that we get there.

North Korea fires missile over Japan

From The Sydney Morning Herald:

North Korea fired a missile early on Tuesday from near Pyongyang that flew over northern Japan, the South Korean and Japanese governments said.

Public broadcaster NHK reported that the missile broke into three pieces and fell into the waters off Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's main islands.

More here at Radio Australia.

And here at the BBC.

So...what's the deal with Kimmy? Childish Tyrant? Death Wish? Not enough bran?

Kimmy II

ABC's 20/20 on Otto Warmbier FAILS to mention Bill Richardson worked for the Clinton Administration

Bill Richardson, North Korean Enabler

Did you watch ABC's "20/20"  Friday program on Otto Warmbier,  the U.S. Citizen recently released from a North Korean hard labor prison camp? Did  you recognize in the story the man, Bill Richardson ?

Did you catch that he was referred to as "former Governor of New Mexico"?

Did you notice they never once referred to his stint under the Bubba Clinton Administration?

No, that wouldn't sound good, would it?

It wouldn't sound good for ABC to have a "North Korean" expert like Richardson, pontificate about how he worked so hard on the Warmbier case when, that expert, in 2006 said, Kim Jong-Il cheated on the nuclear weapons framework in the Korean Peninsula.

Isn't is amazing how Liberal spin is such a degenerate's degree of faux incredulity when they can only cover their failures by pretending to be aghast when a thug-dictator "cheats" on an "agreement"?

Richardson's support of then pResidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama , and later the Obama presidency, certainly helped usher in another eight years of yet another weak, ineffectual, spineless and wimpy U.S. president. How could North Korea not take advantage of a weakling like Obama and his Admin? Great North Korean Leader Kimmy had nothing to lose and so much to gain.

2006 is also when Richardson called for, "multi-lateral pressure against North Korea."   Well, how's that working out for the world today, huh Bill? How did that "multi lateral pressure" work out for the Warmbier family?

Yeah...those Liberals and their hardball of "multi-lateral pressure." Nothing scares a tyrant more than words from an effete Liberal, especially "scary consequence" words that are never backed-up with action.

Kim Jong-Il and The Appeaser of North Korea Madeleine Albright (Right)

Prior to being Bubba's Secretary of Energy, 1998-2001, he served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, under the Bubba Admin, from 1997-1998.

Preceding him as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. was (drumroll....) The Butcher of Kosovo, Serbia and Iraq...  the bloodthirsty child murderer  and international appeaser of North Korea,  the one, the only,  Madeleine Albright, Satan's Little Helper.

Unless I missed it, her name wasn't mentioned in the Warmbier "20/20" story either. Yeah, the Media just cannot bring itself to mention or note Liberal failure or the person(s) responsible for it, as with Albright.

Had it not been for Warmbier's father's on-camera comments, which - to my amazement ABC did show - we probably wouldn't have know that Obama's Secretary of State, John "Can I git me a huntin' license here?"  Kerry did absolutely nothing for the Warmbier family. Nothing.

None of this surprises me, nor should it you.

And now we have Richardson, desperately trying to spin his lack of doing anything about Warmbier or North Korea, or as [a former] U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. [throw his weight around] (and really...how hard can that job be?), into somehow rendering assistance or playing a role in the success of anything; in this case, North Korea's release of Warmbier...sadly, too late.

Yes, Richardson spun and pivoted in the "20/20" story, but he didn't fool anyone who is paying attention. Yes, Richardson has some blood on his hands from Warmbier's death. Yes, Albright is covered in the blood of hundreds of thousands of deaths, especially innocent children.

North Korea was appeased because of direct conflict with USA and China relations at the time. This is the timeframe when President Bill Clinton sold missile technology to China. 

Gee - from who do you [think] North Korea obtained their missile technology from? Iceland? The Province of Saskatchewan? Cleveland, Ohio? Or...China?

How else could the Clinton's repay all the several thousand dollar donations made to [Hillary's campaign cash] by Chinese dishwashers and busboys? It's no secret that when politicians want to bring in the big donors, the first group they hit for cash are the dishwashers and busboys. Why, they're loaded.

Richardson certainly seemed to have all the right "after the fact" questions to ask:

"North Korea has a lot of explaining to do [about Otto Warmbier]. Why didn't they notify the United States. Why didn't they notify proper medical authorities [on Warmbier's health problems], the Swedish government that represents us."

Hey, Bill - why didn't YOU do something about it when you had a chance? We know the answer from Liberals: "We tried."

Liberals "try." They don't succeed, but they "try", and they hide behind all their failures by saying "they tried."

What if Assad Didn't Gas Anyone?

I'm rethinking the accusation that Bashar al-Assad gassed anyone last week.

I don't think this happened.

Is Syria another excuse for neocons like John McCain to beat the War Machine?

President Donald Trump can't possibly think that the U.S. can have any type of Military confrontations simultaneously with Syria, North Korea and all the other Mideast countries that are a mess due to Barack Obama's failed foreign policy.

I don't believe - at least I don't want to believe - that we are on the precipice of World War III.

Trump, who I supported, explicitly stated we have no business in Syria and then turned a 180 and ushered in U.S. involvement with Syria.

How will his supporters know, from this point on, whether to believe Trump or not?

Trump does not need to poke the bear of North Korea and bring them into play with what so far, looks like a very amateur performance of Trump Foreign Policy.

It is the Bill Clinton presidency that brought us to where we are with North Korea:

Under the final terms of the Agreed Framework approved in October 1994, Clinton agreed to provide the “Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea” (DPRK) with two light water nuclear reactors and a massive allotment of oil.  The U.S. agreed to ship 500,000 metric tons of oil annually in response to the North’s pretense that the energy-starved backwater had developed the nuclear facility to generate power.  These shipments have cost taxpayers more than $800 million to date — a bargain compared with the $6 billion spent on constructing the nuclear reactors, which now empower North Korea to produce 100 nuclear bombs each year.

All these measures failed to quell the North’s atom-lust.

Clinton gave in to every one of North Korea's demands.

I'll hold Trump's feet to the fire, and apply the same standards to him that I did with Obama, W. Bush and Bubba Clinton. I'm not cutting any slack for Trump just because he's not Hillary Clinton.

The U.S. needs to disengage from Syria and North Korea immediately.

Assad protected Christians in Syria, search and seek for yourselves:

This should not be - this is not - and I hope not -  a question of who is better for starting World War III; Trump or Clinton.

Syria A Mess? Blame Albright and Clinton. Same for North Korea.

Albright and her "friendly toast" to Tyrant Kimmy.

I can't repeat this often enough. Along with EX president Barack "Big Ears" Obama turning a blind eye to the behavior of Bashar al-Assad, we can place direct blame of both Syria and North Korea on EX president Bill Clinton and EX Secretary of State Madeleine "Butcher of Kosovo" Albright.

From the hardly right-wing NY Times, October 24, 2000:

Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright plunged into Communist North Korea today, meeting with the nation's mysterious leader, Kim Jong Il, and attending a gargantuan spectacle of about 100,000 performers that celebrated the cult of her host.
[.]
...Dr. Albright, [.] enthusiastically applauded the 90-minute authoritarian display of choreography and chorus.
[.]
Dr. Albright responded to Mr. Kim's hospitality with a friendly toast tonight, saying as he sat next to her at a dinner table in a government guest house: ''America's symbol is the eagle, a bird that soars, and Korea's pride is mountains that scrape the sky. There is no obstacle we cannot overcome if we make the strategic decision to do so together.''

I guess if the strategic decision is the policy of placating and deferring action for the next Administration to deal with, the Butcher of Kosovo is correct.

Pffft! "Doctor" Albright. Whether she has an actual PhD or it's honorary, she's no doctor. "The Doctor of Death in Kosovo," maybe.

Albright: Should be under arrest for War Crimes.

In 1997, Albright met with Syrian President Hafez al-Assad (father of Syria's current Tyrant Bashar al-Assad):

...Ms. Albright is also interested in taking the measure of Mr. Assad, and to attempt to restart suspended peace negotiations between Syria and Israel[.]
[.]
But peace with Syria is key to a comprehensive settlement in the Middle East, and Israeli officials acknowledge that it cannot happen without the help and mediation of the United States. Ms. Albright also wants to discuss the Syrian role in Lebanon and press Mr. Assad to stop support for terrorism in the region.

Well. A lot of good that 1997 trip to Syria did for us, eh "Doctor Butcher"?

Back to North Korea:

I'm sure the letter from Clinton to Kimmy really convinced Kimmy and his generals to adopt a more Kumbaya attitude:

Albright gave Kim a letter from President Bill Clinton dealing with Clinton's expectations of how to further develop relations between the two countries.

He said Kim and Albright were expected to meet again on Tuesday because "they have more to talk about."

During their meeting Monday afternoon, Kim and Albright focused their discussions on issues of how to improve ties between the two countries and Clinton's possible visit to Pyongyang in the near future.

Well - - -  so much for "diplomacy Vis-à-vis a letter". Perhaps Kimmy disliked the font chosen by Bubba. Maybe if Bubba would have drawn a smiley face on the the letter, Kimmy would have been more amenable?

Bubba appeases Kimmy on behalf of Obama in 2009.

 


And from The Economist, that "globalist, New World Order" publication (who the hell subscribes to it, anyway?), Bill Clinton's 2009 meeting with Kimmy (on the issue of the two American journalists imprisoned in North Korea) carried with it the Democrat Foreign Policy of Appeasement:

Mr Kim is an ace non-smiler.
[.]
Whether the normally affable Mr Clinton managed to stay poker-faced through the three hours and 15 minutes he and Mr Kim spent in each other's company[.]
[.]
North Korea says Mr Clinton apologised [sic] fulsomely for the actions of the two journalists who had strayed across its border from China. American officials deny any such apology was given. They also denied reports as news of the visit broke that Mr Clinton had brought a conciliatory message from President Barack Obama.

I can read Obama's letter to Kimmy, delivered to him by Bubba:

"Dear Kimmy, please wait until after my term is over until you decide to threaten the U.S. and others on the global stage."

Sincerely and Best Always,
Barack Hussein Obama, Appeaser-In-Chief.

Kimmy Jong Un. What's with the haircut?

2009: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warns North Korea on missile launching.

2016: Obama warns North Korea regarding missile launches.

And for yucks and giggles, in 2014 the North Korean government referred to Secretary of State John Kerry not just as a "LANTERN JAW," but as a HIDEOUS Lantern Jaw.

HIDEOUS Lantern Jaw.

We at least know that North Korea has a sense of humor and the ability of conceiving insult humor.

Clearly, none of these "verbal warnings" from the Democrat Appeasers had any impact on North Korea or Syria.

This is the textbook example of Democrat Foreign Policy. It doesn't exist.
