Far East Expert Gordon Chang: "North Korea Can Neither Bark Nor Bite Without China's Help" | Buck Sexton

Far East Expert Gordon Chang: "North Korea Can Neither Bark Nor Bite Without China's Help" | Buck Sexton:

"To discuss North Korea’s brazen launch of an ICBM missile on Independence Day, as well as responses to the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council during which Ambassador Nikki Haley called out countries who are “holding the hands” of the Kim regime rather than show strength, Buck invited on Far East expert Gordon Chang, author of Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes on the World.

“What is the latest?” asked Buck.
“This [missile] certainly had longer range than any missile tested by North Korea,” said Chang. “It looks like it had a range of about 4,100 miles even though it went only 600 miles downrange because it was fired high. "

BOOM: Another Liberal Meme Promoting Socialism Ripped to Shreds

BOOM: Another Liberal Meme Promoting Socialism Ripped to Shreds:

This meme about Denmark has been virally making its way around the interwebs. It paints a rosy picture of a country where everything is free and people are remarkably happy but that isn’t quite true.

Denmark has some of the highest, if not THE highest, taxes in the world. 
On top of having extremely high income taxes they also have a 25% sales tax.
So all the ‘free stuff’ they are talking about in the meme, isn’t actually free. 
The people who actually work (it’s a huge welfare state as well) are the ones paying for everything. 
Imagine working most of the week to pay for government programs, getting your pay check to realize they took more than HALF of YOUR hard-earned income to redistribute elsewhere?

And that ‘free college education?’ It’s not really working out how the Danish envisioned.
From Business Insider:

No tuition fees and generous grants give young Danes an opportunity that would make most green with envy — a university education without a massive debt yoke. But many, in both industry and politics, feel it’s become a free lunch that’s giving indigestion to Scandinavia’s already weakest economy. Too many pursue “fulfilment” and too few the science and engineering degrees needed in well-paid growth sectors critical for the nation’s future, they say.With one of the highest tax rates in the world — at 56 percent for top earners — big salaries mean mostly bigger taxes to sustain the welfare state. Many young Danes just don’t see the point of putting in years of effort into studying for a bigger salary eaten up by taxes.

UW-Green Bay offers LGBTQ certification to stem student exodus

UW-Green Bay offers LGBTQ certification to stem student exodus:

The University of Wisconsin, Green Bay recently unveiled a new “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Students Certificate Program” in an effort to improve retention of LGBTQ students.

The school has received favorable ratings in two prominent measures of LGBTQ-friendliness, but claims that students have been leaving due to "the lack of LGBTQ+ focused courses or the opportunity to earn a certificate."

The University of Wisconsin, Green Bay has created a “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Students Certificate Program” in hopes of stemming an outflux of LGBTQ students.

According to an announcement on the school’s website Wednesday, the school has experienced an exodus of students upset by “the lack of LGBTQ+ focused courses or the opportunity to earn a certificate,” .."

Send this to your lib friends.... and wait for the explosion!-----Clarice!-----Trump Grinds the G20, the Bureaucratic Underground, and CNN into Hamburger

Articles: Trump Grinds the G20, the Bureaucratic Underground, and CNN into Hamburger:
"This was a week of startling contrasts. 
The President reasserted (against a decades-long leftist attack on it) the significant achievements of Western civilization and the need to vigorously defend it. His speech prefaced the G20 meeting in Hamburg, where leftists rioted, burned, and looted while the G20 leaders ponced about and wined and dined in style, apparently oblivious to the havoc which their open border policies and multiculturalist mindset had birthed. 
As Trump worked successfully on trade and defense issues in Europe, his administration was quietly plugging security leaks and maladministration in our own bureaucratic underground.

A. Poland

Western Europe has been blinded by ideological nonsense. On the one hand it has worked assiduously to separate religion and politics. On the other hand, it has welcomed in hordes of Islamists. In contrast, to quote Zoltan Balog, Hungary’s Minister for Human Resources “in the case of Islam it is religion that determines politics.”

Eastern Europe, in particular Poland, was the right place to defend Western culture and values. And Trump did so brilliantly to the great delight of the thousands who flocked to hear him.

Eastern Europe not only shows a greater understanding of Western culture than Western Europe does; these Eastern countries have also been far more generous to NATO, the bulwark of their independence and security. Culture and security go hand-in-hand: if you take your own culture and civilization seriously, you will be ready to defend them.

A brief look at the NATO's members' military spending as a percentage of GDP shows that Poland meets the 2% target, unlike all the Western European countries. Only five of NATO's 28 members -- the U.S., Greece, Poland, Estonia and the U.K. -- meet the 2% target. Where is France? And Belgium? And Germany? And The Netherlands?

"Unlike most of its NATO and European peers," Agnia Grigas, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, explained, "Poland has for the past two decades consistently viewed defense as a priority issue, and as a result, has been slowly but steadily emerging as the bedrock of European security". Poland -- unlike Belgium, Italy and other European countries -- is not a "free rider" but a trustworthy partner to its US ally. Poland showed loyal support to the United States both in Afghanistan and Iraq, where its troops fought the Taliban and helped to topple Saddam Hussein.

It is no coincidence that President Trump selected Poland, a country that fought both Nazism and Communism, to call on the West to show a little willingness in its existential fight against the new totalitarianism: radical Islam.

"The West will continue to have the military edge for a good time to come, but possessing weapons is one thing, and possessing the will to use them is another thing altogether", wrote William Kilpatrick, a professor at Boston College. "The West is strong militarily, but weak ideologically. It lacks civilizational confidence".

Government travel-care-----New York's subway has always been a chamber of horrors. But when did it get this bad? - LA Times

New York's subway has always been a chamber of horrors. But when did it get this bad? - LA Times
"Die Kitties Die!” screamed the headline in the New York Daily News when, in 2013, former Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief Joe Lhota criticized a decision to pause trains in a Brooklyn subway station to rescue a pair of kittens lost on the tracks.
These days, New York so badly needs to get the trains to run on time that Lhota, whose unfortunate anti-cat comments caused a minor scandal, has been brought back as chairman of the transit agency.
Extreme measures are in order to fix the 112-year-old subway system, and nothing — not budget cuts, political infighting, or cats — can stand in the way.
Delays have doubled over the last five years, and accidents are on the rise.
A subway derailed last week, crashing into a wall and igniting a trash fire after hitting equipment left on a track near 125th Street in Harlem.
...On the heels of the derailment, Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week signed an executive order declaring a “state of emergency” on the subways, making official what many New Yorkers in their gut already know.
...“The subways are just too erratic,’’ said Hanes. “I moved to New Jersey and bought a car.’’

Union Head: GOP Made Teaching Undesirable; 952 Apply for One Opening [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

Union Head: GOP Made Teaching Undesirable; 952 Apply for One Opening [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Steve Cook, the head of the state’s largest teachers union, has led an ongoing campaign of accusing Republicans of having made the teaching profession undesirable in Michigan.
“Nobody wants to be a teacher anymore, and I can’t blame them,” Cook, president of the Michigan Education Association, told a student newspaper earlier this year.
Union officials, some public school administrators and some teachers have supported the campaign with claims of a chronic teacher shortage in the state of Michigan.
This year, that chatter has escalated.
Meanwhile, at Novi Community School District, there were 952 applicants for one teaching job this year.
...That’s not what the response from one Oakland County district showed.
Novi schools posted 66 job openings and on average, 123 people applied for each position. 
Two of the 66 positions received just three applicants, but 20 positions had more than 100 applicants. One received 952.
Novi Superintendent Steve Mathews didn’t respond to an email seeking comment..."

Don’t let the goats get your job | New York Post:
"It’s not just coal miners who have to fear greenies will destroy their jobs: A union out in Michigan is up in arms over work being stolen by a pack of eco-friendly goats.
Local 1668 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees lodged a formal protest after Western Michigan University hired a crew of 20 goats to work full-time this summer clearing a 15-acre campus woods of poison ivy and other “invasive species.”
The union says this violates its contract with the school, as nine laid-off members should’ve gotten the job.
A school spokesman notes that poison ivy is “a problem for humans to remove.”
And the university horticulturalist in charge of the project claims the goats can do the job for one-fifth the cost of using human labor, machinery and herbicides..."

Another lyin' lib outed-----Sheriff exposes white, liberal columnist’s traffic stop tale for the lie that it is | New York Post

Sheriff exposes white, liberal columnist’s traffic stop tale for the lie that it is | New York Post:
"A sheriff in Missouri is firing back at a now-suspended newspaper columnist who claimed to experience what “minority motorists” must feel when getting pulled over by cops, saying he was lucky he didn’t “get shot” during a recent traffic stop.
Boone County Sheriff Dwayne Carey has refuted a June 30 opinion column by longtime Columbia Daily Tribune columnist Bill Clark, who was stopped 10 days earlier for failing to use his turn signal. 
Clark, an 84-year-old white man, suggested in the column that he might’ve been pulled over because of his “liberal bumper stickers,” an obvious sign of an “aging hippie with a weed habit,” he claimed.
“I’m lucky I didn’t get shot,” Clark wrote. 
“Sirens wailed and when I stopped, two officers were out of the sheriff’s vehicle. 
When I reached over to turn off the radio and then take my wallet out of my pocket to produce the driver’s license and insurance card, I realized my hands were not at the top of my steering wheel. 
Danger lurked and official arrogance was to follow.”
...But a review of dashcam video told a different story, according to Carey, who contacted the newspaper’s managing editor, Charles Westmoreland, to disagree with Clark’s version of events. Carey also released the 11-minute video and penned an 1,800-word response to Clark’s column, blasting it as “sensationalism” and disputed the claims of “arrogance” on behalf of the deputies.
...“In his column he indicates, ‘I’m lucky I didn’t get shot,’” Carey wrote. 
...Meanwhile, the newspaper’s managing editor said in a response published Thursday that Clark has been suspended indefinitely and his column won’t appear again until further review..."
