Meanwhile, As the World Turns   

   Diplomacy had failed, and a surprise attack from the Western Pacific in 1941 drew America into wars on two continents. 

   Victory in 1945 was exhilarating, but evil was already planning its next move. Allies divided Korea in two - communist and free. In 1950, Kim Jong Un's grandfather, then age 34, persecuted Christians and invaded the free South, aided by two of our WWII "friends." 

   President Trump is on a diplomatic visit to that troubled area. He seeks fair trade agreements everywhere, and wants more pressure on annoying North Korea by his counterparts - not friends - in South Korea and China. 

   This may be our generation's 1941, a moment of truth. The atheistic hermit kingdom must not be allowed to threaten us with nukes, or (irony) share that technology with their religious friends in Iran. Leading from behind, strategic patience and kicking the can were all failing policies. Like him or not, we have a president who works for us in more ways than one.

One Wealthy Swamp
   In Washington, DC, 35 percent of all new mortgages and refinancing so far this year are for more than $500,000. We assume 100 percent of those homes are in the government/lobbyist/lawyer side of town ... the swamp.

   If the swamp is drained, where will those unfortunate residents live?

Doggone Drug Bust   
   Iditarod - the world famous dog-sled race - has a doping scandal. Four dogs in a team of huskies tested positive for an opioid painkiller after the 1,000-mile race last March. 

   The suspects are impounded. They were unable to post bail, and would not speak with investigators. No other dogs have come forward as witnesses. 

   These huskies did not bite on offers of cat meat in return for confessions and reduced sentences. If they continue their silence, PETA threatens to scuttle future races altogether on the pretense of preventing cruelty to animals.
