North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered up to 30 officials to be executed over their alleged failure to prevent massive flooding and landslides in the summer that resulted in the deaths of some 4,000 people, according to South Korean media. An official under Kim’s regime said between 20 and 30 leaders in North Korea had been charged with corruption and dereliction of duty, with the state sentencing them to capital punishment, TV Chosun reported. “It has been determined that 20 to 30 cadres in the flood-stricken area were executed at the same time late last month,” the official told the outlet

I'm hearing some CCR playing in my head - 'Who'll stop the rain?' In NK, if the regional officials don't stop the rain, they are executed!

What the heck, the 30 North Korean officials who were said to be executed could just as well been killed in the flood. Really who cares, as that it the North Korean way of doing business!

The price of failure. How much of this was a pretext for Kim Jong Un to get rid of political threats. Have to imagine much of the North Korea government is 'do unto them before they do unto me' mentality. Have to imagine much of the North Korea government wish the entire Kim Jong Un family was gone.

Wow. Kim Jong-un is strict! His ways of killing are many, and creative. One of his favorites is to tie down the prisoner, then shoot him to pieces with Triple A (antiaircraft artillery). Zero recidivism. Hog food. This situation calls for the diplomatic skills of Hans Brix, who perished in Team America World Police after challenging Mr. Un's father, Mr. Il. Hans Blix, though retired, is still around. Maybe the UN can bring him back. Where have you gone, Blixterman. The world turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo-oo-oo.

The scene between Mr. Il and Hans Brix is entitled "Kim Jong Il in Team America - Hans Blix." I won't post the link I saw because there's a lot of profanity with Dutch subtitles (I think). It's totally hilarious but not for the faint of heart. What's funniest of all is that the real Hans Blix saw the movie, loved it, and even wanted to buy the Hans Brix puppet that got torn apart by a nurse shark as Mr. Il cursed him for the final time. The South Park guys did Team America, of course.

It appears these unlucky 30 didn't meet their collective quota - 6,000 were to have drowned, not 4,000.

A 14-year-old student opened fire at a Georgia high school and killed four people on Wednesday, authorities said, sending students scrambling for shelter in their classrooms — and eventually to the football stadium — as officers swarmed the campus and parents raced to find out if their children were safe. The dead were identified as two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder, about an hour’s drive from Atlanta. At least nine other people were taken to hospitals with injuries. Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said two school resource officers encountered the shooter within minutes after a report of shots fired went out.

Donald Trump shocked political observers last week when he appeared to change his position on legalizing marijuana. But, it could become a political jackpot. New surveys suggest voters in the “Blue Wall” states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania could be swayed by Trump’s “green” opinion on cannabis. The Ragnar Research Group polling of 1,000 likely voters between Aug. 18 and Aug. 21 shows broad support for cannabis legalization and very little political downside for Trump in embracing it.

Democrats are seeking to put Republicans in Florida on defense over the issue of abortion. While winning the Sunshine State will be an uphill climb for Democrats, Vice President Harris’s campaign has increased its presence in Florida amid an effort to legalize the procedure in the state through a ballot initiative that will go before voters in November. The “Fighting for Reproductive Rights” bus tour launched Tuesday in Palm Beach, former President Trump’s hometown, and will feature Harris surrogates meeting with voters to discuss access to reproductive rights.

The notoriously verbose Ted Cruz has gone largely silent on abortion, one of his favorite topics to legislate on and bloviate about, during his Senate re-election campaign in Texas – an ominous sign both for Cruz and the anti-abortion movement writ large. Indeed, Texas representative Colin Allred has mounted an unusually strong campaign for Cruz’s Senate seat at a time when Texas has become ground zero in the grisly maternal health disaster unfolding across the country since the fall of Roe v Wade. As of the latest University of Houston poll, the race between Cruz and Allred is currently a dead heat,

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris still holds a slight lead over former President Donald Trump, but will it last after last week’s interview with CNN? Harris still enjoyed an edge with prospective voters as Labor Day approached, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll suggests, but it might not be sustainable as Trump consolidates his strength among swing-state voters. In a head-to-head matchup, Harris holds a 48% to 45% advantage over Trump in the September I&I/TIPP Poll, with 1,386 registered voters answering the survey from Aug. 28-Aug. 30. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points.

In a recent and now widely seen Tucker Carlson interview, a guest historian named Darryl Cooper casually presented a surprising number of flawed theories about World War II. He focused his misstatements on the respective roles of Winston Churchill’s Britain and Adolf Hitler’s Germany—especially in matters of the treatment and fate of Russian prisoners, the Holocaust, the systematic slaughtering of Jews, strategic bombing, and the nature of Winston Churchill. Because of the size of the audience Carlson introduced him to, and because of the gravity of Cooper’s falsehoods, his assertions deserve a response.
