Obama’s Hiroshima Visit Is a Reminder that Atomic Bombs Weren’t What Won the War
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/10067434
A good place to start is with an unusual and little-noticed display at The National Museum of the United States Navy in Washington. A plaque explaining an exhibit devoted to the atomic bombings declares: β€œThe vast destruction wreaked by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the loss of 135,000 people made little impact on the Japanese military. However, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria on 9 August β€” fulfilling a promise made at the Yalta Conference in February β€” changed their minds.”

When comparing modern-day Hiroshima and Detroit, it appears the long term effects of nuclear bombing are more beneficial than welfare.

Looks like we have North Korea’s next demand on deck:

How long until the North demands that Yu Jae-mun be publicly executed for insulting the dignity of the DPRK?

Welfare, just look at the DOD. Not even comparable to Detroit. And then when they leave they beg for money thru “VA” groups and still end up offing themselves. I see you’ve given up on your first attempt to debate and deflected to Detroit πŸ™„

The headline is a bit misleading, but this is an interesting bit on how the Soviets turned a few crypto techs:
http://www.businessinsider.com/soldier-starts-war-by-siding-with-ussr-2016-5
The usual: Pick a pudgy, balding alcoholic, hook him up with a Russian hottie, pump him for information.
The Soviets read our encrypted messages, and decided we weren’t as likely to rush to South Korea’s defense as the Russians had originally thought. So they gave Grandpa Kim the Go Ahead.

Not sure how that equates to “How a Single Soldier Sparked the Korean War.” Just another loser with a stiff diick and no brains wanting to keep the puddy-tat coming.

SCOTUS Crushes Virginia GOPer’s Gerrymandering Scheme…
http://crooksandliars.com/2016/05/scotus-slaps-down-virginia-republicans
“The assertion that the Tea Party is rooted in racial segregation is indisputable when you look at their non-stop efforts to suppress the minority vote.

{The high court ruled that none of the GOP legislators had legal standing to oppose the boundaries set in place after a federal lawsuit found the old district lines weakened Black voter clout by packing too many Black voters in the 3rd District. The 3rd’s incumbent is Rep. Bobby Scott, the only Black person elected to Congress from Virginia since the late 1800s.}

…”Since their ascension to power, these ersatz ‘legislators’ have fulfilled their roles as well as any spurious con-artist could. They campaigned on the idea that government doesn’t work and then, with unprecedented, obstinate obstructionism, proceeded to discredit the entire institution. Each and every one is a science-denying, racist, homophobic miscreant ill-suited for public service, and their well-deserved day of reckoning can’t come soon enough.

Legal experts say this decision will likely result in more Democratic House Seats from Virginia. May the House-cleaning commence”

Hey Tbone…

While American Servicethemselvesmembers and Feral Welfare Monkeys might both suck up the public funds, at least the servicemembers are smart enough to burn someone else’s neighborhood.

So there’s that.

Sadly, the taxpayers fund the reconstruction no matter where the neighborhood is.

So there is that, too.

You want a conversation, BONEHEAD? Sorry, but that boat sailed long ago. You swamped this site with endless babble for years after gloating how great your life would be after leaving Korea. You never told us how that worked out for you, but the fact that you keep coming back to be slapped down tells me the loneliness must be mind numbing.

Nobody cares, BONEHEAD. Whatever random craap you find and post we just flip past. So tired and tedious.

And now with something that’s actually interesting:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/05/25/the-north-korean-born-sons-of-an-american-defector-speak-in-korean/
If you’ve ever wondered what happened to some of the defectors that went to North Korea? Well, at least one got busy and had two sons.
They, of course, quote only the official line because North Korea certainly won’t let them go off script.

Black Student Handcuffed, Suspended For Stealing Free School Lunch Milk
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/25/black-student-handcuffed-charged-theft-stealing-free-school-lunch-milk.html
“Over the past few years Americans who aren’t African American have learned that there are more than a few things law enforcement officers will not tolerate from Blacks. For African American males, regardless of age, something as innocent as walking, driving, shopping, or selling a cigarette can result in police shooting them to death or being beaten and choked within an inch of their lives only to die in jail.

For a young teen in Virginia, picking up his free school lunch carton of milk in the cafeteria lunch line didn’t get him shot and killed by a school police officer; he was fortunate. But it did get him roughed-up, handcuffed, charged with theft, suspended from school, and ordered to appear in juvenile court to face the charge of β€œlarceny.” All for being Black while picking up a carton of milk as part of the free lunch program; and being β€œfidgety” during interrogation after being handcuffed and charged with theft…”

“All for being Black while picking up a carton of milk”

I agree with Tbone here. It was probably an honest mistake.

The poor kid was probably so high on drugs it looked like cotton to him.

I wonder what Gen. Sharp knows that isn’t in the mainstream:

China is sneaking in a little oil, enough to keep things from going south too soon. China doesn’t want millions of starving North Koreans swarming across the Yalu, demanding services the Chinese aren’t really prepared to deliver.

I’ve read that rebuilding the North up to South standards could cost up to $6 trillion. Not sure who has that much on hand. Who went to East Germany after the fall of the Wall? What about ten years, twenty years later? Just curious how much of a mess things are up north, and how long it will take to get things up to snuff. Any business opportunities?

Milk:

If you need a police officer to guard free milk in a school lunchroom, maybe eugenics needs to be reconsidered.

Shots Fired:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/south-korea-fires-warning-shots-boats-north-cross-002324643.html

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea threatened retaliation on Friday after South Korea fired what it said were warning shots when a patrol boat and fishing boat from the North crossed the disputed sea border off the west coast of the Korean peninsula.
The two vessels from the North retreated about eight minutes after the South Korean navy fired five 40 mm artillery shots at around 7:30 a.m. local time, South Korean officials told Reuters.

There are the usual over-the-top threats from the North in the article, but basically the North had a fishing vessel and a military excort near the NLL, they came just south of the line, then ran back north when the South popped off a few brush back rounds. AKA: Tuesday

“More to the story?” What more was there that makes this kid deserving of being handcuffed, suspended, and charged with larceny for picking up HIS free milk? You ask..,”Did he really forget his milk?” What does it matter it’s free for him ❗ And…”Was he concealing the milk?” The kid says “NO,” ain’t that good enough for you? What else could the kid have picked up from the milk carton cooler…A gun? The cop knew he had a carton of milk, so what, you and the cop/principal/school are trying to make something out of nothing. Sickening, the mother should file a lawsuit for which she would win. The kid said he “pulled back,” he did not try to “get away.” I know you envision the kid running away but he did not. The question is…If the milk hadn’t been free for this student what or at which point would classify it to be larceny? Is there a cafeteria line that the student crossed that made the cop go after him? I bet the student had not even left the cafeteria area yet ❗ It’s like being charged with larceny before leaving the store πŸ™„

Democrats in Maryland are the folks throwing blacks in jail for drinking milk, not GI, me, or some alleged connection with the GOP… They might be racists; but I don’t have any contact with them…

Then again, the Democrats control a lot of areas where blacks are getting shot by cops, and so on… Zimmerman is a Democrat. Ferguson is run by Democrats. St Louis is run by Democrats. Chicago, New York, and LA are run by Democrats… Planned Parenthood kills a lot of black babies, and it’s run by Democrats.

Maybe it’s the Democrat Party, not the Stupid Party that want blacks dead?

Who pulled off one of the largest cyber bank robberies of all time? Our Boy, Fatty Kim!
https://www.yahoo.com/news/north-korea-may-pulled-off-174900587.html

According to CNN Money, North Korea is the prime suspect in a series of high-profile cyber attacks in recent years, with a collective take in the hundreds of millions.

The hackers, dubbed the “Lazarus Group,” stole $101 million from the central bank of Bangladesh in February and nearly absconded with over $800 million more; they also hit banks in Ecuador, the Philippines and Vietnam, according to CNN Money.

It’s one thing to attack Sony and release Black Anne, costing the studio tens of dollars, it’s quite another to rob banks of hundreds of millions, with billions being the aim.
If we won’t stop the Kim Regime for Human Rights Violations, maybe we will when they attack the 1%ers.

Banks are all over your shyt if you deal with ten thousand dollars in cash… or even 2000 dollars if they think you are up to something…

…and the American government can track international transactions through a series of banking agreements.

Yet 101 million dollars can vanish and nobody knows where it went exactly?

Buuuuullshyt.

“Zimmerman is a Democrat. Ferguson is run by Democrats.”

Please name these “Democrats?” You sound like Chickenhead trying to tell us Michigan is run by democrats πŸ™„ However, Missouri is a red state with a GOP governor while Ferguson has 21 thousand people run by a St.Loius police force deeply rooted in racism while the Ferguson court system is the same, perhaps you missed the Federal Justice Dept. report πŸ™„

The mayor of St. Louis is a democrat. All 28 members of the city council are also democrats. These people control a police department “deeply rooted in racism.”

Thank, yougottabekiddin.

Why are so many blacks supporting city, county, and state governments β€œdeeply rooted in racism?”

Could it be they think “only other [blacks] will be killed” and “that man gonna pay me if I keep my mouth shut and pretend I like it”?

Could be… No other reason they gonna vote for folks like Hillary or Bernie…
