North Korea is No Paper Tiger. By Chet Nagle
Excerpt: So it seems the North Korean paper tiger is
dangerous after all. Just ask Kenneth Bae and the U.S. Navy. Bae, an American
citizen and tour operator, was arrested for subverting the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea (DPRK) and got 15 years of hard labor. Hostages are usually
released after bribes and apologies, but this time Pyongyang says the United
States is wrong to think Bae is just a bargaining chip, stating: “The DPRK has
no plan to invite anyone of the U.S. as regards Kenneth Bae’s case.” Chet Nagle is a graduate of the Naval
Academy, a former CIA agent, a member of the Committee on the Present Danger, a
former Defense Department official and the author of the excellent novels The
Iran Covenant and The Woolsorter’s Plague.
Oh
Why My Public Letter To The Commandant? By Andy Weddington
Excerpt:
Minutes after publishing 'A Public Letter to the Commandant of the Marine
Corps' on Monday, 24 June 2013, emails started to flood in - from Marines, all
generations and ranks, and friends of Marines. Nearly all strangers to me, nary
a single dissenter.

Excerpt: A total of 650,000 civilian employees are now being
furloughed at U.S. military
bases in response to sequester cuts -- but the Department of Defense is still
spending millions to protect fuzzy critters. Joint Base Lewis-McChord
(JBLM) in Washingtonstate just received a $3.5 million department grant to
purchase land around the base in an effort to protect the Mazama pocket gopher,
a species that has not even been listed as endangered or threatened. The
expense is not sitting well with furloughed workers.
Homeland Security
chief Napolitano to resign
Excerpt: Janet Napolitano is resigning as head of the
Homeland Security Department and seeking a post as president of the University of California, the long-time Obama
confidant announced Friday. (This doesn't really matter. Obama will
simply nominate someone just as liberal, and just as incompetent as Napolitano.
And the liberal, incompetent democrats in the senate, along with John
McCain, et al, will confirm that someone. Grandmas, toddlers, and disabled
veterans will still be strip searched in airports, undocumented democrats will
continue scampering across our open southern border, and patriotic Americans
will continue to be labeled as potential terrorists – LLW)
Sessions:
Napolitano’s tenure ‘defined by a consistent disrespect for the rule of law’

http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/12/sessions-napolitanos-tenure-defined-by-a-consistent-disrespect-for-the-rule-of-law/#ixzz2Yql8gwyb
Excerpt: At least one lawmaker will not miss outgoing Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Shortly following the announcement that Napolitano will be stepping down in
September, Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions issued a strong rebuke of her
tenure at DHS. “Secretary Napolitano’s tenure at the Department of Homeland
Security was defined by a consistent disrespect for the rule of law,” Sessions
said in a statement. (Entire regime’s theme: FBI, DOJ, NSA, DOD, IRS,
DOE, EPA, DOL, DHS, HHS, POTUS, VPOTUS, Reid, Pelosi, Clinton…What’s it matter anyway? Going
for 2016…Barb)
Why Money and Jobs
Are Coming to Texas
Excerpt: The Texas
economy has been a remarkable success story in recent years. Compared with other
states, the recession largely bypassed it, say John C. Goodman, president and
CEO of the National
Center for Policy
Analysis, and Travis H. Brown, author of How Money Walks. Between 2001 and
2011, while many other states were hemorrhaging jobs, Texas increased private-sector employment by
732,800. These aren't low-paying jobs -- the average wage in Texas
is in the middle of the pack nationwide; and since the beginning of the
recession, wage growth in Texas
has been the sixth-fastest in the nation.
Obama’s New World
Order: Power to Our Enemies, Death to Our Friends
The anti-Morsi, anti-Muslim Brotherhood, and therefore
anti-Obama demonstrations in Egypt
are the biggest in human history. It’s quite something, an historic event.
Whatever the outcome, we should pay attention. What does it signify? Are we now
in a new world? Has there been a paradigm shift? Does it portend similar huge
protests elsewhere, even here in the USA? (Ledeen may have overstated his case, but
this is well worth reading. Ron P.)
Unhinged! Crowd wears
diapers to fling poo
Excerpt: Texas
police have confiscated numerous jars of feces and urine, paint, tampons,
maxi-pads and even bricks that pro-abortion activists had planned to throw at
pro-life lawmakers who are preparing to pass a late-term abortion ban in the
state, according to reports.
Lawmakers Angered by DOJ’s Defunding of Young Marines. By Todd Starnes
Excerpt: A Louisiana
sheriff, whose department sponsors a national chapter of a youth military
organization, is receiving bipartisan state and congressional support in his
fight against the Department of Justice after it denied funding because the
program’s oath placed “special emphasis on the love of God and fidelity to our
country.” The group, Young Marines, describes itself as a private service
program for boys and girls. Its national website says members should attend
church and pledge not to dishonor God. The Justice Department, however, took
exception to that during a recent audit of a chapter run by the Bossier Parrish
Sheriff’s Office.
Iraqi city of Kirkuk hit by deadly bomb
attack
Excerpt: At least 38 people have been killed in a bomb
attack in a cafe in Iraq's
northern city of Kirkuk,
officials say. The blast happened shortly after 22:00 local time (19:00 GMT).
More than 26 people were wounded. Cafe customers were reportedly marking the
end of the day's fast for Ramadan. (Happy Ramadan from the Religion of Peace. ~Bob)
Teachers 'denied
schoolboy, 10, water on the hottest day of the year to avoid upsetting Muslim
pupils during Ramadan'
Excerpt: An angry mother has accused a primary school of
denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the year for fear of
upsetting pupils observing Ramadan.
Excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board
issued a
press release this evening acknowledging that a summer intern had
erroneously confirmed four fake Asiana pilot names to Bay Area TV station
KTVU. The release corroborates KTVU's claims that an NTSB official had
confirmed that "Ho Lee Fuk" and "Sum Ting Wong," among
others, had been manning Asiana flight 214, which crashed near San Francisco on
Saturday.

Excerpt: One could just picture Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin
and the Ayatollah Khamenei, sitting together in front of the tube. At the end
of the spot, the Ayatollah turns to Putin and says, “Well, if Danny DeVito is
opposed to nuclear proliferation, that’s good enough for me.”
