1…………> The “Trump Shake-Up”: North Korea
 

In a new sign that President Trump’s policy “big stick and sweet carrot” is working, North Korea’s top three military officials have been removed from their posts, a senior US official said, a move analysts say could support efforts by the North’s young leader to jump-start economic development and engage with the world

 

According to an unidentified intelligence official, General No Kwang-chol, first vice minister of the Ministry of People’s Armed Forces, had replaced Pak Yong-sik as defense chief, while Ri Myong-su was replaced by his deputy, Ri Yong-gil.

North Korean state media previously confirmed that Army General Kim Su-gil had replaced Kim Jong-gak as director of the KPA’s General Political Bureau.

 

In a remarkable shift in tone eight days after canceling the summit, citing Pyongyang’s “open hostility,” Mr. Trump welcomed North Korea’s former intelligence chief, Kim Yong-Chol, to the White House on Friday, exchanging smiles and handshakes.

All three of the new officials have at least some experience interacting with foreign delegations, a factor that is critical as Mr. Kim seeks to line up meetings with leaders from the United States, China, Russia, and Syria.

2…………>”Pardon Me, Pardon You”: President Trump

 

The “anti-Trump” crowds of “illegal” Special Counsel Robert Mueller that were salivating at the opportunity to drag President Trump in front of a grand jury before impeaching him, may have had a “legal monkey wrench” tossed in their wheels, as even Constitutional scholars are divided on whether a president can pardon himself.

As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never-ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!

Report

 

When White House adviser Kellyanne Conway was asked by a reporter why the president talked about pardoning himself, she replied: “Why would he need to pardon himself if he’s done nothing wrong? You just like to engage in these hypothetical exercises constantly”.

5…………> “Feminism” IS Style: Knife Terror
In planning an attack in the capital of the Islamic May’sdom of UK, Safaa Boular tried from prison to recruit her sister to execute an attack in London, with her mother surveying major London landmarks and hoarding knives and a rucksack.
The Crime Plan:

 
Boular was detained last year after she attempted to travel to Syria to visit her partner, an older Islamic State group fighter she wanted to marry, who was later killed in Syria.

 She tried to recruit her older sister Rizlaine in phone calls from prison to execute an attack in the British capital, using code words over the phone that referred to an attack as an “Alice In Wonderland”-themed tea party. 

 A fourth woman, Khawla Barghouthi, pleaded guilty to having information about acts of terrorism and will remain in custody along with the other three women.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon said the women, “were filled with hate and toxic ideology and were determined to carry out a terrorist attack. Had they been successful, it could well have resulted in people being killed or seriously injured.”
