NORTH KOREA MOVES LONG-RANGE NUCLEAR MISSILE TO LAUNCH PAD



South Korea says North Korea has moved a missile with 'considerable range' to its east coast after a spokesman warned North Korea's army has been cleared to wage nuclear attack on the U.S. using smaller and lighter nuclear weapons.  The spokesman speculates the missile could not reach the U.S. (READ MORE)

COMMENTS:
I don’t know about you, but I am getting really uncomfortable with this situation.  I learned yesterday that the reason China has moved troops and aircraft to its borders is to prevent North Koreans from fleeing into China.  That means to me that they are not comfortable with this situation, either.  Oh, and by the way… Obama spent the weekend on the golf course again. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Is ObamaCare falling apart?  (Wylie ~ Reno, NV)
A. Not yet, but it is crumbling at its foundations.  Take California, where most people have seen  40% hikes in their insurance premiums over the last three years; now, almost 2 million of them are looking at 30% more in hikes this year.  In the case of individuals with incomes of $46,000 and higher and families with incomes above $94,000 a year who have insurance, but not through their employers, rates will rise an average of 30 percent.  In the meantime, the government is nowhere near ready to implement the exchanges and is going to delay that provision for a year; we don’t know what effect that will have on costs or effectiveness of the program.  Finally, more and more businesses are opting to cut employees down to 49 or to cut hours down to 29 to avoid the high costs of the program, while more and more hidden taxes in the plan are coming to light.  What a boondoggle this is!

Q. THE BLAZE is saying that a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation contends that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional because the bill originated in the Senate, not the House. Under the Origination Clause of the Constitution, all bills raising revenue must begin in the House and the Supreme Court has already ruled the law to be a tax.  Is there a chance this suit could win the day for us?  (Phyllis ~ Brentwood, CA)
A. Yes, there is that chance, but not today or tomorrow.  If it wins, it will be contested on appeal and take its time to reach the Supreme Court for final determination.  Obama may well be in his third term by that time. 

Q. John Kerry says the U.S. will not accept or tolerate a North Korea with nuclear weapons.  Just what is he going to do about it?  (Darth ~ Medford, OR)
A. He’s probably planning on winning another Purple Heart.  He should take note of the fact that North Korea has already conducted nuclear tests and missile tests.  I think that means North Korea is already a nuclear state and it happened on Obama’s watch.  Former CIA Director Michael Hayden said this week, that he worries that the current situation with the North is extremely dangerous and is becoming more so by the year. “We’ve simply taught the North Koreans that they can do these kinds of things with impunity. And now I think we are very much on the edge.” 

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“There is a Western world. There is America. There is Great Britain and Germany and France and Russia and China and other nations. I doubt that there is one country amongst those I mentioned which has a desire to see Iran, with its fundamentalist, Islamic, extremist government, possessing nuclear weapons.” ~ Ehud Olmert
