North Korean Pilot's Daring Defection

As North Korean fighter-pilot No Kum-Sok gazed down at the ruins of Pyongyang at 19,000 feet, he weighed up the pros and cons of defecting for one last time. A decorated veteran of the Korean War, if he stayed he would live the rest of his life in comfort. If he left and plunged into the unknown, there was high chance he would perish in the process. Then suddenly, he envisioned a lifetime of mind-numbing ideological meetings, lies, betrayal and denunciation. His mind was made up - he simply had to escape.

Drones

 Intelligence officials insist there is nothing nefarious about the drone invasion that has plagued New Jersey residents in a three-hour classified briefing. 

The CIA, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense met with members of the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday night about the unidentified aircrafts that have been reported in multiple states.

Rise of the Ottoman empire

 (Bloomberg) -- Of all the winners and losers from Syria’s sudden change of power, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stands out as among those with the most to gain. 

Erdogan’s clout over his southern neighbor has increased dramatically with the fall of his one-time friend Bashar al-Assad, bolstering his political standing at home and in the international arena.

John Fetterman makes sense

 

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told the co-hosts of "The View" on Thursday that cases against both Hunter Biden and President-elect Donald Trump were "politically motivated," and said they were both worthy of being pardoned.

"I think it's undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated. But I also think it’s true that the trial in New York for Trump, that was political as well too. Now, in both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate," the Democratic lawmaker said.

NO FLAGS ALLOWED

 The Edison Township Council in New Jersey recently adopted new rules for public comments where speakers are prohibited from using props while talking, including the American flag and U.S. Constitution.

In protest of the new rule, attorney Joel Bassoff held up a copy of the Constitution and was immediately warned by a councilman that his speaking time was forfeited.

“You took an oath to the U.S. Constitution, which includes allowing free speech,” Bassoff said as three police officers approached him and forced him to quit speaking.

Biden is a disgrace

 Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter was a “disgraceful” action the American people had been “gaslighted” over, says former Bill Clinton advisor Mark Penn.

Penn, who was a pollster and prominent advisor for Clinton for six years, said the pardon was actually a calculated move to protect both Joe and Hunter’s criminal “scheme.”

“This was not a pardon of just Hunter Biden but of Joe Biden himself as his son ran a scheme with Joe’s brother to shakedown adversaries of over $20 million and then didn’t even pay taxes on it,” Penn wrote on X Monday.
