Freewheeling Trump at CPAC touts armed teacher proposal

Trump: Adept teachers should carry guns 01:49

 

 

Washington (CNN)A freewheeling President Donald Trump offered a political greatest hits reel Friday to the highest-profile right-wing gathering of the year, basking in conservative plaudits for what he characterized as a triumphant first year in office.

Quickly discarding prepared remarks he deemed "sort of boring," Trump lit into Democrats and even some Republicans who he deemed insufficiently doctrinaire, and again called for teachers to be armed in schools as a response to the Florida shooting last week.

An armed teacher, Trump claimed, would have "shot the hell" out of the Florida killer.

 

 

He welcomed familiar chants like "lock her up" about Hillary Clinton, the opponent he defeated 15 months ago. And he pledged to protect gun ownership rights, even amid an emotional national debate over guns in which he'd pledged new restrictions.

It was Trump's second appearance as President at the Conservative Political Action Conference, held just outside Washington in Maryland. His speech at CPAC last year was a blistering and dark diatribe that cemented the notion that Trump would not adhere to presidential norms.

 

 

This time around, Trump was more upbeat. He declared his administration "has had the most successful first year in the history of the presidency," naming tax cuts and a regulatory overhaul as his chief accomplishments. He trumpeted downgrades in US participation in the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear accord. He even offered a rare glimpse of self-deprecation when he admitted to some personal vanity.

 

 

"I try like hell to hide that bald spot folks, folks, I work hard at it," he said, looking at his image projected onto a jumbotron.

But his language and targets were largely unchanged from the brash and impolitic campaign that propelled him into office.

He went on an extended riff about immigration, vowing to build his promised border wall, lamenting a system he claimed was woefully broken, and declaring Democrats were unwilling to accept an agreement that would reform the DACA program.

"The Democrats are being totally unresponsive. They don't want to do anything about DACA," he declared.

He launched into the "snake" fable that formed a major portion of his campaign stump speech, glistening with sweat as he warned against accepting immigrants he characterized as violent criminals.

And he was gleeful in his assaults on political rivals. He deemed Democrats "really crazed." And though he didn't name Sen. John McCain, the ailing Arizona Republican, he lashed out at his vote against a health care repeal that many Republicans backed.

"It would be controversial so I won't use his name," Trump said. "What a mess."

Trump's aides said ahead of his speech that he would use the address to unveil harsh new sanctions against North Korea, part of a pressure campaign Trump has frequently used to illustrate his foreign policy strength. But after more than 70 minutes, Trump still hadn't come around to the announcement.

He finally referenced the new sanctions just before leaving the stage.

"We will see, but hopefully something positive can happen," Trump said. "That just was announced and I wanted to let you know."

The Republicans who organize CPAC and fill its speaking roster have sometimes cringed at Trump's harsh rhetoric, but they tolerate it in the hopes he can help shepherd through a staunchly conservative agenda.

They have largely been rewarded over the past year, as Trump has approved sweeping tax cuts that include slashing the corporate rate, a massive unraveling of regulations and the partial repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

 

 

Their tolerance for Trump's crude brashness may be tested in the gun debate. The President has vowed to take action to prevent school shootings like the one in Florida last week, and he has expressed openness to at least one measure opposed by the National Rifle Association: raising the minimum age to purchase firearms like the AR-15.

On Friday, however, Trump declared himself firm in his support for gun ownership rights, despite his pledges this week to take some action on guns.

"They will put judges in that you wouldn't believe, they'll take away your 2nd Amendment, which we will never allow to happen, they'll take away your 2nd Amendment," he said of Democrats to raucous cheers from the crowd, which skews younger.

 

 

He repeated his insistence that some school professionals carry firearms, despite what he said was reasonable opposition to the idea.

"Well-trained, gun-adept teachers and coaches" should carry firearms in schools, he said.

"I mean, I don't want to have a hundred guards with rifles standing all over the school. You do a concealed carry permit," he said. "This would be a major deterrent, because these people are inherently cowards."

Opening his speech Friday, Trump touted accomplishments, despite what he said was skepticism about his conservative bona fides.

"Remember when I first started running -- I started running and people said are you sure he's a conservative. I think now we can say I'm a conservative," he said. "We have put more great conservative ideas into use than perhaps ever before in American history."

And though he seemed eager to proclaim the massive tax cuts approved late last year, when Trump conducted an informal poll of the audience about which issue mattered more -- the tax issue or protecting gun rights -- the clear winner was guns.

"I'm going to leave it at the Second Amendment," he shrugged. "I don't want to get into that battle."

North Korea's failed Olympians hope to avoid dangerous consequences

 

 

2018 OLYMPICS Published February 19, 2018

 

 

By Nicole Darrah , | Fox News

 

 

 

 

 

As North Koreans return home this week from the Pyeongchang Winter Games, possibly without any medals, Olympians hope to avoid the gulags — a fate the losers of the 1966 World Cup are believed to have experienced.

Twenty-two North Koreans participated in the 2018 Olympics, with the support of the nation’s handpicked cheering squad, for the regime’s ninth representation in a Winter Games.

Competing in figure skating, skiing and ice hockey — as part of a joint team with South Korea — the country has failed to medal in any event, surely disappointing leader Kim Jong Un, whose family allegedly sentenced the failed World Cup athletes to concentration camps for the loss.

A survivor of the North Korea gulags, according to the U.K.’s Daily Star, wrote about meeting the World Cup squad at the Yodok gulag, where the team reportedly said they were imprisoned for losing 5-3 to Portugal.

In 2010, the losing North Korea World Cup team reportedly endured a six-hour “grand debate” in which they were criticized for their “betrayal of the trust of Kim Jong Un," South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo reported.

 

 

“Considering the high hopes North Koreans had for the World Cup, the regime could have done worse things to the team than just reprimand them for their ideological shortcomings," an intelligence source told the outlet at the time.

"In the past, North Korean athletes and coaches who performed badly were sent to prison camps,” the source added.

North Korea has only won two Winter Olympic medals: a silver and a bronze, in speedskating and short-track speedskating. Kim has long pushed for stronger athletes, and in 2015 vowed to improve the country’s lackluster record.

In a statement titled "Let Us Usher in a New Golden Age of Building a Sports Power in the Revolutionary Spirit of Paektu,” Kim called on the ruling party to help athletes win at the Olympics, world championships and other international contests.

"Only sportspeople can cause the flag of our republic to be hoisted in the sky of other countries in peace time," the statement said.

 

 

But the North was apparently unprepared for this year’s Games as the country didn’t even have a roster ready until January.

Only two of the 22 athletes that ended up coming to the Olympics had qualified in pre-Games' competitions. It entered seven men and 15 women. All but three of the women were on the joint ice hockey team, which gave up 22 goals and scored just once in its first four games.

With so few athletes prepared when Kim announced on New Year's Day that he wanted to send a delegation to the Games, the North instead dispatched more than 140 musicians, a demonstration taekwondo team, the 229-woman strong cheering squad and 21 journalists, despite the Olympics having received virtually no coverage back home in the North.

But, despite their losses thus far, North Korea might have a chance to medal.

Kim Jong Un lives in fear of preventative strike by US, defector says

A former high-ranking official in the North Korean regime said Wednesday that dictator Kim Jong Un's recent overtures to South Korea have come out of fear that the U.S. will launch a preventative strike against him.

According to Yonhap News, Ri Jong Ho -- who defected to South Korea in 2014 and moved to the U.S. in 2016 -- told a forum at the Wilson Center in Washington that Kim is "trying to buy time to complete his nuclear and missile programs."

Before his defection, Ri worked for Office 39 of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea. Despite the shadowy-sounding name, the outfit had a very clear mission: to raise money for the North Korean regime, even in defiance of United Nations sanctions.

 

 

Ri spoke Wednesday in the wake of a three-day visit to South Korea by Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister, during which she sat among world dignitaries -- including Vice President Mike Pence -- for the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics.

"Kim Jong Un is struggling under the strongest-yet sanctions and military and diplomatic pressure, so he is trying to improve the situation by putting on a false front," said Ri, who also praised the Trump administration's push to highlight human rights abuses by the Pyongyang government.

Ri's comments on sanctions appeared to strike a different tone from one he set in a Washington Post article published this past July. At that time, he described sanctions against North Korea as "perfunctory."

"We were never in pain or hurting in our trade business because of the sanctions," he told the Post at the time. "Instead, we conducted our first nuclear test in 2006."

Ri also told the paper that "unless China, Russia and the United States cooperate fully to sanction North Korea, it will be impossible to hurt [the Kim dynasty]."

On the same day that Ri spoke, U.S. Navy Adm. Harry Harris --the senior officer overseeing military operations in the Pacific -- told lawmakers that Kim's ultimate goal was to reunify the Korean Peninsula under his rule.

"I do think that he is after reunification under a single communist system," Harris told the House Armed Services Committee. "So he's after what his grandfather failed to do and his father failed to do and he's on a path to achieve what he feels is his natural place."

북한 최대 규모의 정유시설이 위치한 함경북도 나진ㆍ선봉지역에서 1주일째 큰 불이 나고 있는 것으로 확인됐다. 유엔 안전보장이사회 제재로 가뜩이나 원유 수급이 여의치 않은 북한 경제가 회복할 수 없는 치명상을 입을 수도 있는 상황이란 분석이다.

정보당국 관계자는 22일 “러시아 접경지역과 인접한 북한 나선지역에 최근 큰 화재가 발생해 1주일째 불길이 포착되고 있다”며 “북한은 소방헬기 같은 장비가 부족해 제대로 진화하지 못하고 있는 것 같다”고 밝혔다. 나선지역은 러시아가 공급한 원유를 저장하고 처리하는 시설이 밀집한 곳으로, 연간 정제능력 200만 톤 규모의 승리화학연합기업소가 자리잡고 있다.

화재로 인해 나선지역 상공의 미세먼지 농도가 급격히 올라가고 있는 사실은 데이터로도 확인된다. 위성사진을 분석해 실시간으로 전세계 기상 상황과 대기오염지수를 보여주는 ‘Earth Wind Map’ 사이트에 따르면, 22일 현재 북한 나선의 미세먼지는 1m³당 2,000㎍을 웃돌고 있다. 이날 수도권 상공의 미세먼지 농도가 1m³당 200여㎍에 그친 것과 비교해 10배에 달하는 수치다. 북한은 중국과 마주한 신의주에 또 다른 대형 정유시설인 봉화화학공장(연간 150만 톤 규모)을 운영하고 있는데, 이 지역의 미세먼지 농도는 100여㎍에 불과했다. 나선지역의 미세먼지 농도가 기형적으로 높아진 건 원유 정제에 따른 대기오염과 상관없다는 의미다.

정보당국은 일단 나선지역 개활지에서 불이 난 것으로 추정하고 있다. 다만 정유시설에서도 화재가 발생했는지 여부는 함구하는 상태다. 정부 관계자는 “대북제재와 맞물려 자칫 북한을 자극할 수도 있기 때문에 판단이 조심스럽다”고 말했다.

하지만 나선지역 화재는 일반적인 자연발화와는 다른 양상을 보이고 있다. 통상 풀이나 나무를 태우면 일산화탄소(CO), 일산화질소(NO), 이산화질소(NO2), 아황산가스(SO2) 같은 오염물질이 고르게 발생하는데, 이와 달리 나선지역은 유독 CO의 농도가 높은 것으로 분석됐다. 원유가 불타고 있을 가능성이 높다는 뜻이다.

특히 나선지역에 편서풍이 지속적으로 불고 있는데도 오염물질이 뿜어져 나오는 중심부는 이동하지 않고 있다. 산불처럼 대기 오염원이 확산돼 주변으로 번지는 것이 아니라, 국지적으로 특정 지역에서 지속적으로 오염물질이 배출되고 있다는 의미다. 바람이 세지면 미세먼지 농도가 잠시 떨어졌다가 바람이 약해지면 다시 농도가 치솟는 상황이 반복되고 있다는 것이다. 신인균 자주국방네트워크 대표는 “북한의 원유 저장ㆍ정제시설에서 대규모 화재가 발생했다는 명백한 증거”라며 “1주일 이상 불길을 잡지 못할 만큼 상당히 애를 먹고 있는 것으로 보인다”고 말했다.

앞서 유엔 안보리는 지난해 12월 대북제재 결의안 2379호를 채택해 대북 원유 공급 상한선을 연간 400만 배럴로 제한하며 북한에게 절실한 원유를 지렛대로 압박 수위를 계속 높여가고 있다.

He would not say whether he was referring to overt combat action,

Mattis: No need to shoot down N. Korean missiles, yet

 

SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 / 7:24 AM / CBS/AP

 

 

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. has seen no need to shoot down North Korean missiles test-fired in Japan's direction, but a future missile launch that threatens U.S. or Japanese territory will "elicit a different response from us," Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Monday.

 

He also said, without elaboration, that the Trump administration has military options against North Korea that would not put Seoul at risk. He would not say whether he was referring to overt combat action, a cyberattack or something more covert.

"I will not go into details," he said.

 

Mattis also confirmed that he and his South Korean counterpart had recently discussed the possibility of putting U.S. nuclear weapons back into South Korea, an option that has been raised publicly by some South Korean politicians. U.S. nuclear weapons were withdrawn from the Korean peninsula in the early 1990s at the close of the Cold War.

"We discussed the option, but that's all ... I want to say," he said.

Mattis discussed several aspects of the North Korea crisis in an impromptu exchange with reporters at the Pentagon, including the effect of international economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure on North Korea. He argued that the pressure is working, and gave as an example Mexico's decision to expel the North Korean ambassador in Mexico City.

He was asked why the U.S., which has spent tens of billions of dollars on missile defense programs in recent decades, has not tried to intercept North Korea's rockets as they demonstrate an increasingly sophisticated missile capability.

"No. 1, those missiles are not directly threatening any of us," he said.

He was referring to an accelerating series of missile tests by North Korea that have defied U.S. and international warnings to stop. North Korea has said the tests are intended to develop the capability to hit U.S. territory with a nuclear weapon. It also has threatened to launch missiles close to the coast of Guam, a U.S. island territory in the Pacific.

On Sept. 3, North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test that was by far its most powerful to date.

Last week, North Korea launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile that traveled 2,300 miles and passed over the Japanese island of Hokkaido before landing in the northern Pacific. It was the country's longest-ever test flight of a ballistic missile. Mattis happened to be at U.S. Strategic Command headquarters near Omaha, Nebraska, at the time of the launch and afterward condemned it for forcing "millions of Japanese" to "duck and cover."

In Japan, a mobile missile-defense system is moving on the northern island of Hokkaido to a base near recent North Korean missile flyover routes.

Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said Tuesday that a Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor unit was being deployed at the Hakodate base on southern Hokkaido.

Mattis made clear in his remarks on Monday that the U.S. and Japan are prepared for future missile threats.

The North Koreans "are intentionally doing provocations that seem to press against the envelope for just how far can they push without going over some kind of a line, in their minds, that would make them vulnerable," he said. "So they aim for the middle of the Pacific Ocean."

"The bottom line is that the missiles, were they to be a threat" either to the U.S. or Japan, "that would elicit a different response from us."

 

 

 

"just to clarify, you said that

there were possible military options that

would not create a grave risk to Seoul,"

a reporter said later.

"Are we taking Kinetic options as well?"

"Yes, I don't want to go into that," Mattis said,

agreeing that his closely held

military option involved kinetic action,

a euphemism to describe lethal military force.

This Lethal Laser Could Cripple ISIS and Other Enemies

The cost effectiveness of using lasers is part of their appeal,

aside from their accuracy and precision.

While firing a surface to-air missile costs roughly $400,000 a pop,

say Navy accountants, consider this

: The Navy's experimental laser LaWS (Laser Weapons System),

which has been tested with success aboard the USS Ponce

in the Persian Gulf and is authorized for use in self defense,

costs a mere 59 cents a shot to deploy.
