Kim Jong-Un-Deux-Trois

Kim Jong-Un will be meeting with President Trump sometime in the next few months to negotiate the removal of ballistic missiles and atomic weapons from North Korea. Obviously, Lil' Kim will not make these concessions without demanding something in return. Our spies in Pyongyang have uncovered a number of the things (more than three) that Kim will be demanding. Here they are:

- An introduction to Stormy Daniels

- A Blu-Ray copy of "Rocket Man" signed by Elton John

- The book  "Dictionary of Insults"

- A five-year subscription to Oprah's special Weight Watchers' diet

- Reproductions of Dennis Rodman's tattoos on his equivalent anatomy

- A pair of Elevator shoes

- Winter Olympics gold metals for all the Nork athletes

- A lifetime supply of Courvoisier and Swiss cheese

- Ten cases of tape-worm medicine

- A Premier membership at Mar-a-Largo

Axis of Evil

Over fifteen years ago President Bush designated Iran and North Korea as members of the "Axis of Evil." They still are and even more sinister. North Korea has atomic weapons and Iran has sophisticated ICBMs and they both hate the United States with an unnatural passion. Why wouldn't they get together like peanut butter and chocolate to carry out their dangerous designs? Only Afghanistan and China stand between them on a land route ... so they could  secretly swap their terror technologies.Well, unfortunately they seem to be doing just that ... see: Breitbart Article.

This collusion complicates our national security issue tremendously. I would like to believe that there is a solution to these "existential" threats other than turning these countries into charcoal briquettes  (a John Bolton phrase) ... because much of the rest of the world will likely conflagrate along with them. Will sanity prevail once they are both locked and loaded? It did during the Cold War and I would like to believe that it will again. But there are no guarantees.

Will we have suicide countries like we have had suicide bombers? Only Allah and the "little fat kid" can tell ...

Afterward: Wouldn't it be nice if Ayatollah Khemenei's prostate cancer and Kim Jong Un's obesity  took care of these problems for us?

Angst Angst

I'm worried that I am not worried. The situation in North Korea keeps escalating with both rhetorical bluster and physical saber rattling coming from both sides ... see: Breitbart Article. The "fat little kid" in the north is capable of anything ... he poisoned his half brother and executed his uncle with a howitzer. Yet, ballsy Trump keeps pushing him. Yes, he could try to do horrendous damage to South Korea and maybe Japan and Hawaii too. But somehow I suspect we have these bases covered and, (hopefully) with China's tacit approval, could turn the north into a gigantic plate of kimchi.

Obviously Kim Jong Un is worried. He is supposedly now ensconced deep underground ... safe from a MOAB or even an atomic bomb. He even has several body doubles moving around on the surface as decoys in case of a U.S. Special Forces raid. But with the weapons of just one Ohio-class ballistic nuclear submarine, we could utterly destroy Kim's private playground ... hopefully before he had a chance to launch his counteroffensive. I'm sure that this conflict has been well war-gamed out by the U.S. and that Trump and his generals feel that they can push this tinpot dictator to blink first. Somehow, for whatever reason, I am not overly concerned. But l am worried that I may not be right.

Memorial Day Message

On Friday, President Barry Soetoro traveled to Hiroshima, Japan to lecture the world about the immorality of war ... in particular, the use of atomic weaponry. In fact, just days before our Memorial Day holiday wherein we honor, among many others, the tens of thousands of American military who were killed fighting Japanese aggression, he implied, in his non-apology apology, that Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb there was "evil." This operative pejorative he slyly slipped into his sermon ... see: Breitbart Story. In truth, Truman's courageous act likely saved hundreds of thousands of American lives and quite a few more Japanese than were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Once again, chin in the air, this man-child in our White House  rose above the immorality of humankind and, in the process, sullied the memory of all of those Americans who gave their lives pushing back against this immorality. It was not President Truman who was evil. It is our current preachy pretend moralist.

Afterward: Add to this cloaked apology the fact that the Japanese Prime Minister Abe declined the invitation to travel to Pearl Harbor to return Soetoro's favor. This clearly indicates that Japan still wants it both ways.

After afterward: Ever the clear thinker, read John Hinderaker's thoughts on this sermon in the Powerline Blog.

Shallot News

July 26, 2021 -- The United States finally inked a nuclear control deal with Iran in Geneva today after an eternal series of extensions from the original July, 1, 2015 oft-extended deadline. Unfortunately, Iran has obviously already achieved atomic weapons as it has recently nuked Tel Aviv, Israel; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Amman, Jordan.

Retired Secretary of State, John Kerry, wind-surfing off of Martha's Vineyard said that this was a great day for President Obama's and his rapprochement strategy with Iran.

So There!

Apparently in a snit, the Obama administration has just released highly classified information about Israel's nuclear program ... see: Pamala Geller Revelation. Yes, it's an open secret that Israel has had atomic weapons for about fifty years, but the formal acknowledgement of this fact by the United States government ... along with the covert details ... just throws more grease on the fire of the Iranian nuclear talks.

I have long suspected that our fearless leader's motivations surrounding his very lightly-disguised attempts to allow Iran into the nuclear club were because of this capability on Israel's part. After all, it's only fair that Iran should be on a military par with that country it has vowed to annihilate. This kind of infantile thinking on Obama's part is what may cause the next big war to start in this region of the world.

But, following this same churlish logic, it doesn't seem likely that this conflagration would reach Hawaii.

Afterward: For more detail on what was released, see: Israel National News.

The Same Page

Regarding the current political dust-up over Iran, President Obama and the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu both are on the same page on one point ... and that is that neither of them feel that Iran can be trusted. Their difference however is a very bright line ... President Obama then does a 180 degree turn and says that he wants to cut a deal (but not a treaty which would have to be verified by the Senate) with Iran which will at best postpone Iran's acquisition of atomic weapons. But he then avows that Iran cannot deceive us on this matter ... a rationale that is so flimsy and convoluted as to require the folksy speaking style of the president to keep his audience from breaking into derisive laughter.

President Obama is a very flawed person ... but why he would trust someone who can't be trusted ... particularly when it involves the very survival of the Jewish nation ... is beyond even my feeble logical apparatus ... as it should be for every American.

Afterward: Actually I am loath to admit this, but I now believe the Iran's duplicitous Supreme Leader, Khamenei, is more trustworthy than our President of the United States.

March Madness

President Obama will likely not be listening to all of Netanyahu's speech to Congress tomorrow as he has much more important things to do according to his spokesman, Josh Earnest ... see: Politico Article. My best guess is that he will be doing his March Madness brackets ... the event he clearly prioritizes ... next to golfing and surfing in Hawaii.

I suppose that we have gotten used to such administration media-relations lunacy out of those who wiggle under Valarie Jarrett's thumb ... particularly during these vital basketball championships. After all ... what is the relative import of an Israeli incineration by Iranian atomic weapons?
