We suffer from the same problems to a degree here in West Virginia where one can do as they please in an Elected/ Appointed position with no comeback from the Law. His problem as noted was obeying and implementing the Law. This State desperately needs a "Joe Arpaio".
He is a firm and some may say a hard man. But he had a lose- lose job in a Country which was ruled by a person who was so divisive that doing something Illegal was rewarded versus what one received for doing the Lawful course of action was to be sentenced to Jail.
While I am somewhat critical of the damage Mr. Trump does to himself, his agenda and sadly even the Country with that damn twitter account, but he is head and shoulders above what he replaced and what he defeated.
North Korea Launches Unidentified Projectiles Into Sea
Lydia O'Connor, Huff Post 1 hour 45 minutes ago (Posted here 8:20 P.M., 25 Aug 2017).
North Korea has fired multiple unidentified projectiles into the sea off its east coast, South Korea’s news agency Yonhap reports. The launches on Friday build on growing tensions between the U.S. and the isolated nation in recent weeks.
South Korea’s military said the projectiles flew more than 150 miles, and added it was still analyzing the development, according to Yonhap.
The launches come days after the U.S. and South Korea started the 10-day Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercises, an annual joint military drill the two countries have held in some form for more than half a century. While the simulated war exercise is intended to help establish defense techniques for a potential attack, North Korea views the drills as confrontational.
As the exercises commenced on Monday, North Korea once again denounced U.S. President Donald Trump, who had promised “fire and fury” earlier this month if Pyongyang threatened the United States.
Trump’s aggressive remarks came in response to a report that Pyongyang recently managed to miniaturize a nuclear warhead, a crucial step in its efforts to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead that could reach the United States.
North Korea has ramped up its nuclear and missile development programs in recent months. Since February, Kim Jong Un has test-fired 18 missiles in 12 tests, compared to 24 missiles through all of last year. The leader has fired more tests than both his father and grandfather combined, CNN reported, and has finessed the technology of their weapons with each launch.
While Kim warned after Trump’s incendiary comments that North Korea may fire a missile at the U.S. territory of Guam, he appeared to back down from that threat last week. South Korean President Moon Jae-in emphasized that same day that the U.S. would not take any military action on the Korean peninsula without Seoul’s consent.
The South Korean military warned late last month that another missile test from its northern neighbor may be imminent after satellite imagery showed a high level of activity at North Korea’s nuclear test site.
Where this is going bad is that he is getting away with impunity his clearly warlike behavior. Most will not remember, but another maniac also violated Treaties, agreements and in the end we ended up watching him re-arm, seize the Sudetenland, take over Austria and then start WWII. He was known as Adolph Hitler and caused 10s of Millions of death and unmeasurable destruction in the World. No one was willing to face him at the time and the Prime Minister of England, one Neville Chamberlin, met him and said "we will have peace in our time". We are approaching the same point where he WILL have his missiles and will use one or threaten to use one with no response. At that time we will be well on our way to WW III.
I can only hope for the best and realize that may well be hoping for too much? 'nuff said'.
