The United States has issued a provocative threat to North Korea of “fire and fury.” Following it up, the Guardian would report in its article, “Trump on North Korea: maybe ‘fire and fury’ wasn’t tough enough threat,” further threats being made:

Donald Trump has issued another provocative warning to North Korea, suggesting that his threat to unleash “fire and fury” on the country was not “tough enough”. 

The US president told reporters that North Korea “better get their act together or they’re going to be in trouble like few nations ever have been in trouble in this world”.

Feckless boasts of military might and icy vows to annihilate one another might not necessarily prove war between the U.S., North Korea, and their allies is nigh, but the monumental increase in stocks of weapons and defense manufacturers — the economic fingerprints a preparation for a colossal military endeavor — just might.

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” President Trump railed yesterday. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”   Continue reading “Coincidence? Military Industrial Complex Hit Highest Stock Prices Ever as Govt Hypes N. Korea War”

Continuing months of war rhetoric, Defense Secretary James Mattis today warned North Korea risks a course of action that “would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.” He insisted North Korea needs to immediately “stand down.”

This comes in the context of President Trump yesterday threatening “fire and fury unlike the world has ever seen” against North Korea for its behavior. Trump followed that up today insisting America’s nuclear weapons are better than ever, and that they are the “most powerful nation in the world” and always will be no matter what.   Continue reading “Mattis Threatens End of North Korea, ‘Destruction Of Its People’”

FOR ONCE, Donald Trump has a point. “We can’t let a madman with nuclear weapons let on the loose like that,” he told Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, according to the transcript from their bizarre phone conversation that was leaked to The Intercept in May.

The madman the U.S. president was referring to, of course, was North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The madman the rest of us should be worried about, however, is Trump himself, who — lest we forget — has the sole, exclusive and unrestricted power to launch almost 1,000 nuclear warheads in a matter of minutes, should he so wish.   Continue reading “The Madman With Nuclear Weapons is Donald Trump, Not Kim Jong-un”

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the country, has completed its analysis of President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster’s behavior and determined him to be a threat to Trump’s agenda.

The organization, which is backed in large part by Trump ally GOP mega-donor and Israel defender Sheldon Adelson, is calling for President Trump at the very least to reassign McMaster to a different administration position where he can do no more harm to Israel and efforts to battle radical Islamic terrorism.   Continue reading “Zionist Organization of America Analysis Determines Mcmaster Hostile to Trump, Calls for Reassignment”

Donald Trump’s evangelical adviser Tuesday said God had given the president the authority to “take out” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“When it comes to how we should deal with evil doers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil,” Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas said in a statement.   Continue reading “Evangelical Adviser: God Has OK’d Trump to ‘Take Out’ Kim”

It is no secret that Michigan has been a hot bed for Islamic extremism thanks to the massive influx of Muslim refugees. Due to Barack Obama’s policies over the last eight years, America has been infiltrated by these criminals sneaking in under the guise of a humanitarian effort. For years, the American people have begged for tougher border control, but it has only fallen on deaf ears, that is until President Trump was elected. Now, Trump is enforcing our immigration laws which have police officers and ICE busier than ever. Just recently, federal agents went into Muslim infested Michigan to conduct a raid, and what they found was disgusting.    Continue reading “Trump Sends Feds Into Muslim Michigan For Arrest Raid – Uncover America’s Worst Nightmare Instead”

After Keisha Peaks’ boyfriend was shot to death on a street in Reservoir Hill, she tried to be honest with their 8-year-old son. But as he asked probing questions about the unsolved killing, she had a few of her own.

“Will it happen to my son?” she remembers thinking. And “when will it stop?”

Two years into a historic spike in Baltimore’s violence, with 2017 on pace to be the city’s deadliest year ever, those concerns are widespread.

U.S. President Donald Trump has now signed into law what may be considered one of the most insane pieces of legislation ever to come out of the U.S. Congress. While the law itself will not result in major direct actions in terms of immediately attributable effect, it will have far reaching repercussions both at home and abroad. The law, passed almost unanimously in both the House and Senate had sat for days on Trump’s desk awaiting the President’s signature.

The bill is aimed at a number of Russian industries and also takes aim at foreign banks that do business with North Korea. The bill contains a number of provisions implementing sanctions against Iran as well. It also restricts the President’s ability to tamper with the sanctions regime once it is put in place.   Continue reading “Trump Signs Russia Sanctions Bill, World At A Dangerous Point As Deep State Shows Their Teeth”

Washington, D.C. residents, you don’t have to holster your Second Amendment rights anymore.  Unfortunately, residents of many other states like California don’t have the same ability that D.C. residents now do to protect themselves.

In a stirring victory for those who live in the national’s capital, a panel of the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals recently threw out a D.C. ordinance that denied concealed-carry permits to anyone who could not show a “special” need for self-defense, what is referred to as a “good reason” requirement.  The problem is that other courts of appeal have upheld such restrictive laws and the U.S. Supreme Court has turned down appeals of those decisions, refusing to take up the issue of the Second Amendment’s application to carrying a weapon outside of the home.   Continue reading “The Second Amendment has won (again) in Washington. So why won’t the Supreme Court fully enforce it?”

After trying to go-it-alone on a failed health care repeal, the White House is cozying up to the outside conservative groups that many in the Administration distrust or feel were insufficiently supportive during the 2016 campaign. If President Trump is going to prevail on his other goals, like tax reform, he will need this kind of boost from potential allies.

On Friday, the White House plans to announce it is sending Vice President Mike Pence to a major gathering of tea party-minded activists in Richmond, Va., on Aug. 19. Organized by Americans for Prosperity, the Defending the American Dream confab is one of the largest public-facing events linked to the political and policy network convened by billionaires Charles and David Koch. The conference tends to set the tone for the year among the more than 2 million grassroot activists who push for lower taxes, less regulation and fewer subsidies.   Continue reading “Vice President Mike Pence to Headline Koch Summit”
