SEOUL, March 29 (Yonhap) -- North Korea announced Saturday that it has entered a state of war against South Korea. In a special statement, the North said it will deal with every inter-Korean issue in a wartime manner.

Nuclear War to Be Conducted on Korean Peninsula Pyongyang, March 29 (KCNA) -- A nuclear war has turned out to be an established one on the Korean Peninsula. Despite the repeated warnings of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the United States, for the first time, made B-2A fly from Whiteman air force base in Missouri State over south Korea on March 28 to launch an exercise of striking ground targets aimed at the DPRK. Earlier, a formation of U.S. B-52 based in Anderson air-force base on Guam flew to the sky above south Korea and staged nuclear war exercises...

Recently, Republican Governors Rick Perry of Texas and Terry Branstad of Iowa appealed to those wanting to flee liberal California. “Move your business to our state,” they implore. “We’ll welcome you with open arms here.” They should be careful what they wish for. When my wife and I used to vacation in Colorado in the 1970s, I started noticing bumper stickers that read “Don’t Californicate Colorado.” The initial movement that spawned that sentiment was a way for Colorado residents to express their disapproval of how Southern California had exploded with seemingly unlimited development. However, since that time, “Californicate” has taken...

February 26, 2013House Democrats propose Department of PeacebuildingCaroline May California Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee has introduced legislation to create a federal Department of Peacebuilding that would cultivate peace and take on the causes of violence and conflict.Lee’s legislation H.R. 808 “Department of Peacebuilding Act of 2013″ also would create a Cabinet-level Secretary of Peacebuilding focused on creating peace and preventing violence.“This culture of violence that we live in is unacceptable,” Lee said in a statement her office distributed earlier this month. “On our streets and across the globe, the pervasive presence of violence has infected the lives of millions, and...

It was recently observed that Ron Paul was to the left of Obama on national security and the best evidence for that statement can be found when one year ago Ron Paul joined forces with Barney Frank​ on a proposal to gut national defense via a panel of experts, quite a few of whom were tied to George Soros​. In July 2010, Barney Frank and Ron Paul co-authored a Huffington Post article rolling out their Sustainable Defense Task Force. The Task Force “consisting of experts on military expenditures that span the ideological spectrum” would recommend a trillion dollars in defense...

An estranged former member of direct action anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd alleges it ordered its own boat to be scuttled to win public sympathy. Peter Bethune was captain of the hi-tech Ady Gil when its bow was shorn off in a collision with a Japanese whaler it was shadowing in January. It sank two days later, but Mr Bethune now alleges he was ordered to scuttle it by Sea Shepherd head Paul Watson. Mr Watson denies the claim - the latest twist in a bitter row between the two. Commentators say the feud threatens to undermine the standing of the...

Obama’s Congress has not been able to pass this crippling cap and tax legislation, so as is Obama’s standard M.O., he is looking for another way to impose his will on the American people, despite their strenuous objections. With that said, meet Lisa Jackson, EPA administrator: Does Environmental Protection Agency Chief Lisa Jackson view her post as an activist position that can be used to spread America’s wealth? Jackson has given scores of speeches touting “environmental justice” and recently launched an initiative aimed at achieving “environmental justice,” a policy critics warn could be a ruse to spread the country’s wealth.

(On March 27, cities around the world will turn out their lights for 60 minutes.) Environmentalists: Prepare to turn out your lights. Plans for Earth Hour 2010 are officially underway — and the 60 minutes are expected to be darker than ever! World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour is a now a 3-year-old annual event when everyone is encouraged to turn off their lights for an hour — saving some electric energy in the short term while hopefully encouraging all to ponder and act on environmental issues in the long term. In 2010, Earth Hour will be happening from 8:30 p.m.–9:30...

Here is video of bizarre pop culture icon "Lady Gaga" speaking at a Gay Rights Rally in Washington yesterday, where she screamed "Are You Listening?", directed at President Obama (she screams at the 2:37 mark of the video). Gaga said "Obama, I know you are listening." She then screamed, "Are you listening?" She went on to say "we will continue to push you," referring to Obama. Many Gay Activists on the Far-Left are angry that Obama has not pushed the Gay agenda more quickly. . . . (VIDEO)

It's just what the primetime cable news lineup needed - another hour-long program tilted toward left-of-center politics with character assassination on conservatives. CNN Headline News debuted its "The Joy Behar Show" on Sept. 29, which included appearances by lefty comedian Jeanane Garofalo, CNN's Jack Cafferty and actress Bette Midler. Garofalo doubled down on her low regard for conservative 9/12 and tea party protesters, labeling them as racists. Cafferty went after President Barack Obama for his disregard of the carbon footprint his lobbying efforts in Copenhagen for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. However, actress-turned-Vegas entertainer Bette Midler went straight...

The Democrats have a new buzzword: “silly.” The next goal of the Democrats, according a recent Senate campaign fundraising letter, is to “end silly debates about whether tax cuts for the rich trickle down or global warming exists.” Silly debates? So if the Democrats get more Senate seats, there will be no more discussion about tax cuts or global warming. All manner of subjects will be closed. Because to disagree with a Democrat is just plain silly. Well, that certainly clarifies what Obama meant by “post-partisan,” now, doesn’t it? Thus is it demonstrated that the words “liberal” and “liberty” no...

There are few sights more disgusting than the American political left displaying its dark side - - as it did immediately following the murder of abortionist George Tiller on Sunday. When I read some of the trash articles making accusations that conservatives in general and Bill O’Reilly in particular were responsible for Tiller’s murder, the words which came to mind were “vile malevolence.” Accusations like this are examples of what psychologists call projection: the attribution of one’s own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people; especially : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety. In...

As citizens' outrage over the torture memos heats up, and the US Congress is barraged with calls to appoint a special prosecutor, Americans may be about to commit an egregious miscarriage of justice. Republicans have now accused Democrats in Congress of having "blood on your hands too" in relation to the escalating calls to investigate. I would go further: not only do Congressional Democrats have blood on their hands – but so do we, the American people. And CIA agents may be about to be sacrificed to assuage their – and our – actual and associative guilt. The suddenly urgent...

Noted political expert and gaseous far left windbag Michael Moore advises the Democratic Party how to lose the Presidential election.With a heaping helping of contempt for American voters, to pander to the Guardian’s audience. Keep saying nice things about McCain. Like how he’s been “good on global warming” and campaign finance. Keep reminding a country at war that he and he alone is a war hero. Not to mention an all-round good guy. Say that enough and what happens? The same thing that happens when you repeat over and over, “Apply directly to the forehead” - people start to believe...

Saudi Arabia's religious police have announced a ban on selling cats and dogs as pets, or walking them in public in the Saudi capital, because of men using them as a means of making passes at women, an official said on Wednesday. Othman al-Othman, head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Riyadh, known as the Muttawa, told the Saudi edition of al-Hayat daily that the commission has started enforcing an old religious edict. He said the commission was implementing a decision taken a month ago by the acting governor of the capital,...

Barack Obama still remains a favorite among Democrats despite the recent exposure of his relationship with controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, now infamous for his anti-American jeremiads. Real Clear Politics national poll averages still place him two percentage points above Clinton with 45% to her 43%. Obama’s Rev. Wright controversy surfaced in the media on March 14. A Pew Research poll conducted between Feb 20-24 placed Obama ahead of Clinton 49% to 40%. The next Pew Research poll was conducted March 19-22, after the Wright controversy hit the airwaves. Obama’s numbers didn’t budge: he remained at 49% while Clinton actually dropped...

Liberal Group Plans Yearlong Anti-Bush Campaign; Goal Is To Deny Positive Legacy. A liberal advocacy group plans to spend $8.5 million in a drive to make sure President Bush's public approval doesn't improve as his days in the White House come to an end. Americans United for Change plans to undertake a yearlong campaign, spending the bulk of the money on advertising... In selling the plan to fundraisers, the group has argued that support for President Reagan was at a low of 42 percent in 1987 but climbed to 63 percent before he left office. "All of a sudden he...

Withdraw from Iraq immediately. Eliminate the No Child Left Behind law. Legalize marijuana. Those were just some of the goals stated by candidates at the Green Party presidential debate Sunday in San Francisco. About 800 people of varying ages, economic backgrounds and political parties attended the "Presidential Debate that Matters" at the Herbst Theatre, where the five Green presidential hopefuls spent more time agreeing with one another than actually debating. "We're not so much against each other as we are for each other," said one of the candidates, Kent Mesplay, an environmental engineer who also ran for the Green Party...

The invaders smashed through a security gate and broke windows in order to get inside, police reports said. During their investigation, Rugby police provided her with a crime-fighting booklet that discusses home security. But she told the Advertiser when she asked about putting in a new security fence and upgrading its capabilities, she was told the laws on liability meant she risked a police investigation herself if any trespassers hurt themselves climbing it. She had wanted to add barbed wire to the fence in order to reduce the ease with which the robbers apparently gained access to her home. But...

A recent poll conducted by the Gallup organization discovered that Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats to rate their mental health as excellent. According to a November Gallup Health and Healthcare poll, “fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43 percent of independents and 38 percent of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education." “It makes perfect sense when you think about it,” said Gallup Vice-President Aaron Keene. “Given the dismal history of government performance in so many...
