​Then-President Donald Trump discussed dropping a nuclear bomb on North Korea and pinning the blame on another country during closed-door meetings in 2017, according to a new edition of a book about the 45th president’s administration.

A lot of choices get discussed daily in government (and in every company and household ever day). One needs to consider all options, it is the prudent thing to do.

Maybe true,. The whole point of "brain storming" sessions is to consider all possibilities, even crazy ones, triggering other options which might not otherwise have arisen. Like the old "there are no stupid questions" when we all have heard them.

IF President Trump made the remark it was probably along the lines of President Reagan quipping about ending Russia with "the bombing starts in 5 minutes" . But I doubt he said it.

I can see Trump making such a comment, but in an off the cuff way that no one with any intelligence would actually believe him. After discussing options and ideas in these meetings, throwing out idea or a wish that nobody realistically would actually do just to blow off some frustration.

Harry Truman reportedly sometimes got so angry during the Korean War that he privately fumed about nuking China. Ditto for Richard Nixon and what he’d like to do to North Vietnam. There is a huge difference between private venting and actual conduct. Presidents are people.

So what? What is important is that Trump followed the correct course and did not “nuke” North Korea. When you are talking with retired Generals, you usually quickly find out that they are of the belief that no civilian, either elected or not, knows as much about strategic thinking as they do. Clearly as President, Trump was an “outsider” and “one man show” abrasive character who should have stayed away from the retired high ranking high mucky muck Generals who never won a war, who the wimpy establishment Republicans and RINOS were recommending that he appoint to high level positions in his administration.

One of the unnerving things about Big Left’s initiatives is that they always seem to burst forth fully formed when they inflict themselves on an unsuspecting public. All the normal Americans are somehow left out of the entire decision-making process, from conception through funding and development; it’s not just that we don’t have a say, but we’re not even made aware that the initiative is in the works until it is visited upon us in its final form. For example, by the time we learned that the climate lords at WEF think should eat bugs, there was already a growing cricket farm infrastructure in place,
A 'Botched Abortion' Is the Birth of a Child 1 reply

Earlier this week, all 210 Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to allow babies to die of indifference and neglect in the moments after their birth. The unanimous voice of Hakeem Jeffries' Democrat caucus was that mothers and doctors should not be obliged to provide medical attention to an "survivor" after a so-called "botched abortion". A "botched abortion." Think about that term for a moment. What happens when you "botch" an abortion? What is the result of a "botched abortion"? What happens when an abortion goes "wrong"? A baby is born. A baby is born, alive. A "botched abortion" is also known as "child birth".

Seriously, though, one wishes only the best for him as he contemplates his future.

At least six people were killed in Alabama Thursday during a tornado outbreak that devastated parts of the state, including the historic city of Selma. The fatalities were reported in Autauga County, just northwest of Montgomery, and more deaths are possible, Sheriff David Hill told WSFA. In Selma, the same violent storm system that ripped through the Southern US, spurred a massive tornado that touched down just after noon and caused “significant damages” to the city – destroying homes, flipping vehicles and downing trees. Selma Mayor James Perkins said that no deaths have been confirmed in the city as responders assess the damage.

The United States Army took a serious hit to recruitment last year, something they’re trying to come back from by expanding a program to prepare out-of-shape applicants for basic training. As the world stares down Russian and Chinese aggression, military preparedness is at the forefront of the country’s mind. Unfortunately, 2022 saw the Army fail to meet its 60,000 soldier enlistment goal by a shocking 15,000. In an effort to bolster its numbers, top brass announced the expansion of the Future Soldier Preparatory Course, a boot camp for out-of-shape recruits who want to meet the fitness requirements maintained by the military.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. will hit its debt limit on January 19, at which point the Treasury Department will take “extraordinary measures” to avoid default. She called on Congress to raise the debt ceiling as soon as possible, with the government on track to max out on its $31.4 trillion borrowing authority next week. Without intervention, the government could be left unable to pay its bills by June. “It is unlikely that cash and extraordinary measures will be exhausted before early June,” she wrote in a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.)

In one of their final acts in power, House Democrats secretly passed through a rule change that will see lawmakers in the lower chamber get a $34,000 pay raise.  The new rule, proposed by Democrats on the House Administration Committee, allows House members to be reimbursed for the cost of lodging, food and travel while on official business in Washington DC. It was tucked into the House's internal rules, rather than in annual spending bills, and therefore was not debated on the House floor, according to the New York Times.
