Why War with North Korea Is Inevitable

Posted: 30 Sep 2017 12:03 AM PDT

This July I outlined the case for war against North Korea, contingent on the failure of diplomacy and Kim Jong-Un's continued march towards a long-range nuclear ICBM capability. Six weeks on North Korea has tested an ICBM, fired two missiles over Japan, and detonated a hydrogen bomb. The analysis remains unchanged, except to say that diplomatic avenues look bleak, time is running out, and the cost of war mounts daily as North Korea prepares and fortifies.

Man killed in Yosemite rock fall was British climber

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 04:33 AM PDT

The man killed on Wednesday when part of the El Capitan granite monolith in California's Yosemite National Park collapsed onto a hiking trial was a British climber whose wife was badly hurt in the incident, a park spokesman said. The couple was found by a search and rescue team at the base of El Capitan after some 1,300 tons of rock broke off from the monumental granite formation and plunged onto a popular hiking trail, Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said in a written statement on Thursday. "The victims, a couple visiting from Great Britain, were in the park to rock climb but were not climbing at the time of the initial rock fall," Gediman said.

Black Lives Matter movement cannot be sued, U.S. judge rules

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 12:00 AM PDT

(Reuters) - A Louisiana police officer cannot sue Black Lives Matter because it is a social movement, a U.S. judge ruled on Thursday, finding the campaign could not be held responsible for injuries he got at a protest. The unidentified officer sued Black Lives Matter and an activist involved in a July 2016 protest in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where the officer was struck by a rock. The Black Lives Matter movement began with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media in 2012 after black high school student Trayvon Martin was shot dead in Sanford, Florida, by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

Trump vows another healthcare vote next year, eyes executive order

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:31 AM PDT

By Jeff Mason and Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump, faced with the latest Republican failure to undo Obamacare, pledged on Wednesday to tackle it again next year, suggesting without evidence that he had the votes to pass reform and promising to work with Democrats in the meantime. Trump told reporters at the White House that he also was working on an executive order, possibly to be signed next week, that would allow individuals to buy health insurance across state lines. Senate Republicans abandoned their latest effort to repeal former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act on Tuesday after failing to secure sufficient support from fellow Republicans.

Donald Trump under fire for reportedly physically mocking John McCain, who suffered injuries when held as prisoner of war in Vietnam

Posted: 27 Sep 2017 10:27 PM PDT

John McCain's daughter has criticised Donald Trump amid allegations that the President has taken to physically mocking her father, who is stricken with cancer and suffered life-long injuries as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Mr Trump has reportedly been imitating the thumbs down motion made by Mr McCain, a Republican Senator for Arizona, when he cast a no vote for his party's bill to repeal Obamacare in July. The military veteran is unable to move his arms above his head, the legacy of being shot down over Vietnam, tortured and held as a prisoner for five years. On Wednesday, Meghan McCain, his daughter, took to Twitter to express her disgust. What more must my family be put through right now? This is abhorrent. https://t.co/xJmFdh93xL— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) September 27, 2017 Her father was also recently diagnosed with primary glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Mike Allen, of Axios, reported that Mr Trump was also mocking the body language and posture of Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, by drooping his shoulders. 4/ In 2008 when Obama issued a TV ad mocking McCain for not using a computer, I noted that the ad failed to take into account the reason why— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 27, 2017 5/"in general, the injuries he sustained as a POW -- ones that make it impossible for him to raise his arms high enough to comb his hair..."— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 27, 2017 6/"-- mean that small tasks make his shoulders ache, so he tries to avoid any repetitive exercise..."https://t.co/srNiK4OmTE— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 27, 2017 They are bearing the brunt of his ire at a time when the President's attempts to repeal Obamacare have failed, his chosen candidate suffered an embarrassing defeat in a party run-off in Alabama on Tuesday and he was criticised for focussing on American football while people in Puerto Rico were struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. During the Republican primary campaign, Mr Trump also mocked Mr McCain's status as a war hero, saying: "I like people who weren't captured."
