NOW THAT THE KIM HAS THE NUCLEAR BOMB CAPABILITY–AS EXPECTED THE COMMUNIST LEFTIST FORM OF GOVERNMENT CAN NOW THREATEN TO DEVASTATE SOUTH KOREA WITH ITS RHETORIC–THE KIM CLAIMS THREE DAYS IS ALL IT TAKES WITH THE NUCLEAR BOMB TO DESTROY ALL OF THE SOUTH OF KOREA–THANKS TO THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BILL CLINTON FOR SPEAR HEADING THE NORTHS DRIVE TO GO NUCLEAR
North Korea on Thursday warned it would finish any war on the Korean Peninsula in three days and turn South Korea into a nuclear wasteland.
The threat comes amid massive annual South Korea-U.S. military exercises.
In an article entitled "A reunification war will be a blitzkrieg" on Thursday, the North Korean propaganda website Uriminzokkiri said, "If a blitzkrieg should occur, it will be finished in just a few days."
"Once given orders, North Korean artillery will rain 120,000 rounds at a time over the South, and its special troops can pulverize South Korean bases of the Air Force, the Navy, radars, and missiles in rear areas," it added.
It also threatened to tear down "concrete barriers" with a single miniaturized nuclear weapon and clear the way for troops to march south.

THE US ECONOMY DROPS ITS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO 5.5% AS IT ADDS ANOTHER 295,000 NEW JOBS WHILST 92 MILLION CONTINUE TO NO LONGER LOOK FOR WORK–THE ROSY PICTURE OF THE ECONOMY FROM THE DEMOCRAT RUN POTUS
The US economy pumped out a strong 295,000 net new jobs in February despite some severe weather disruptions and mounting layoffs in the oil industry, the Labor Department reported Friday.
The better-than-expected jobs number sent the unemployment rate down to 5.5 percent, from 5.7 percent previously and the lowest level since May 2008.
Hiring was strong in restaurants, health care, and administrative services, and steady in construction and retail trade.
The oil and gas industry, just beginning to cut back in the face of the crash of crude prices, shed about 8,500 jobs.
The fall in the unemployment rate to 5.5 percent, based on the often volatile household employment survey, reflected as much a surge in the number of dropouts from the labor force as it did new jobs creation.
The overall rate of participation in the workforce -- closely eyed for signs of a sustained pickup in hiring -- was barely changed at 62.8 percent.

"The civilian labor force participation rate, at 62.8 percent, changed little in February and has remained within the narrow range of 62.7 to 62.9 percent since April 2014," the BLS said in its release on the February employment data.
92,898,000 Americans were not in the labor force in February, according to data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday.
SO THE DEMOCRAT RUN DOJ GETS A POLITICAL PROSECUTION OF ITS OWN TO KEEP ITS PEOPLE IN LINE IT SEEMS AS THE OUTGOING GOING NOT YET GONE ERIC HOLDER PUTS AN EXCLAMATION MARK ON HIS RECORD BY CHARGING BOB “THE BUILDER” MENENDEZ (D-NJ) FOR CORRUPTION CHARGES AS SENATOR TED CRUZ (R-TX) CLAIMS THE NEW JERSEY SENATOR PARTING FROM THE POTUS BHO CHAOS AGENDA MEANS DETRIMENTAL FOR LIKE MINDED OTHERS–THE DEMOCRAT FORM OF PUNISHMENT THAT BRINGS THE THREE LETTER AGENCY UPON ANYONE
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) suggested Saturday that the Justice Department’s criminal corruption charges against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) are political retribution against the New Jersey Democrat for opposing the White House’s negotiations with Iran.
Cruz made the allegations to a throng of reporters jammed into the corner of a tent outside the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines without even having been asked about the Menendez criminal charges.
“The announcement this week by the Justice Department that they were bringing charges against Bob Menendez — I will point out that the timing seems awfully coincidental that … in the very week that Bob Menendez showed incredible courage to speak out and call out President Obama for the damage that his policy is doing to our national security … the Justice Department announces they’re moving forward with the criminal prosecution,” Cruz said.
“It raises the suggestion to other Democrats that if you dare part from the Obama White House, that criminal prosecutions will be used potentially as a political weapon against you as well,” he added.
Menendez has been a vocal critic of the White House as the Obama administration has sought to wrap up delicate talks with Iranian leaders over the future of their nuclear program.
The issue came to a head on Capitol Hill last week when Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked the Obama administration in front of Congress for its strategy on Iran.
On Friday, news broke that the Justice Department was preparing to bring criminal charges against Menendez.
“The timing is curious,” Cruz continued. “This investigation has been going on for over a year and yet the very week they announce a pending indictment comes within hours after Sen. Menendez showing courage to speak out against President Obama’s dangerous foreign policy that is risking the national security of this country.”

ITS NO SURPRISE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT CAUGHT WITH CORRUPTION AS BOB “THE BUILDER” MENENDEZ (D-NJ) GETS CAUGHT WITH HIS PANTS DOWN FULL BLOWN WITH CORRUPTION, THE SENATOR USES HIS FULL POLITICAL POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SYSTEM TO BENEFIT HIS PERSONAL SELF AND FRIENDS IT SEEMS–AS THE FBI REVEALS THE CHARGES
The Justice Department is preparing to bring criminal corruption charges against Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, alleging he used his Senate office to push the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.
Feds prepare corruption charges against Sen. Menendez 01:41
People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors' request to proceed with charges, CNN first reported. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.
Menendez told reporters Friday night he has "always conducted myself appropriately and in accordance with the law."
He added: "And I am not going anywhere."
Menendez said that because of an ongoing investigation he couldn't answer questions at the news conference, held in Newark.
The case could pose a high-profile test of the Justice Department's ability to prosecute sitting lawmakers, having already spawned a legal battle over whether key evidence the government has gathered is protected by the Constitution's Speech and Debate clause.
The FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department's public integrity section, have pursued a variety of allegations against Menendez, who has called the probe part of "smear campaign" against him.

The government's case centers on Menendez's relationship with Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who the senator has called a friend and political supporter. Melgen and his family have been generous donors to the senator and various committees the senator is associated with.

THE US FUTURE GROWTH IN ENERGY GETS A NO VOTE AS THE ENERGY VISION OF BRINGING ENERGY FROM OUR CANADIEN NEIGHBOR GETS TURNED DOWN ONE LAST TIME AS A STAND ALONE BILL FROM THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS - AS HIS ZERO COST OF LOWERING FUTURE ENERGY COST GETS THE PASS OVER FOR THE AGENDA MUSTER OF HIGHER ENERGY COST FOR CITIZENS–AS THE POTUS BHO VETO OF THE KEYSTONE PIPE IS UPHELD AS A SMOKESCREEN FROM THE DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE–THE GOP SENATE FAILS TO GET THE MAJORITY VETO BUSTING VOTE FALLING 5 SHORT 62-37
The Senate failed on Wednesday to override President Obama’s veto of legislation approving the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, falling five votes short of the two-thirds majority needed in a 62-37 vote.
It’s the first time Congress has voted on whether to override a veto from Obama and could be a sign of things to come, with Republicans in charge of the House and Senate.
Eight Democrats voted with Republicans to override Obama: Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Warner (Va.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Michael Bennet (Colo.), Tom Carper (Del.) and Jon Tester (Mont.).
Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), who backs the pipeline, missed the vote.
voted to approve the $8 billion oil sands project in January. Sixty-seven votes are needed to override a presidential veto.
Keystone proponents vowed to continue the fight for the pipeline despite the failure.
“If we don’t win the battle today, we will win the war, because we will attach it to another piece of legislation,” Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), who wrote the bill, said Wednesday.
Hoeven said Republicans are likely to try to attach the legislation to a long-term transportation funding bill. Congress faces a May 31 deadline to approve new transportation funding.
“This is coming back in the form an infrastructure bill, a road bill that we are all voting for,” said Manchin.
Keystone supporters are optimistic that Obama won’t veto a six-year highway bill if it includes Keystone, despite vows by the president to veto any attempt to circumvent the federal review process of the pipeline.

IS DOES ITS COMMUNIST LIKE PROPAGANDA POSTING THAT LIFE IS JUST ROSY CHEEKS AND ALL IS WELL IN MOSUL IRAQ AND THAT YOU MUST MOVE ALONG NOW–AS THEY TRY TO CONVINCE THE WORLD - AHEAD OF THE SPRING INVASION TO RE-TAKE THE EMBATTLED CITY OF MOSUL BACK FROM THE MUSLIM IS EXTREMES
Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have released bizarre new photographs attempting to portray daily life under the terror group as a world of bustling marketplaces and delicious food.
Taken in the ISIS' Iraqi power base of Mosul in Nineveh province, the travel brochure-type images show crowded market stalls loaded with olives, pickles and all manner of sweets.
The propaganda images attempt to portray a 'business as usual' type atmosphere among the city's stall-holders, despite the fact recapturing Mosul is the number one priority of a fightback campaign launched by the 30,000-strong coalition of Iraqi Army soldiers and Shia militia earlier this week.
THE PSYCHOPATH MENTAL VIEW BY IS MUSLIM MEMBERS REVEALED BY ITS AL QUEDA DEFECTOR IN A REVEALING INTERVIEW WITH AIMEN DEAN WHO DISCUSS THE BRAINWASH VIEW OF THEM AGAINST US THE WEST
A FOUNDING member of al-Qaeda who flipped to spy for UK intelligence services has spoken out about his radicalisation and revealed the inner workings of the Islamic State, in a bid to prevent other young people falling into the same trap.
The former militant known as “Aimen Dean” has opened up to the BBC in separate radio interviews about his extraordinary past.
He used his knowledge of the terrorist organisation to blow the lid on IS, saying “they are 100 times bigger than anywhere al-Qaeda was” in terms of firepower and financial resources, with a sense of “elitist isolationism” to allow recruits to indulge psychopathic tendencies.

“There are many people in this world that have that small psychopathic tendency at the back of their mind but it’s guilt and (their) conscience that basically stops them from hurting other people,” he told The Report.
“However if you tell them that ‘you will be able to behead, to kill, to lash, to burn villages, to do whatever you like while serving a cause, and you will be rewarded for it by god in the aftermath’ it does wonders in terms of liberating the inner psychopath. And therefore they don’t see themselves as part of the world, they see themselves as part of a new world, a purer world.”
BRINGING BACK SANITY FROM KILLERS OF BABIES FROM THE MILLIONS–AS SCOTT WALKER THE GOP TO BE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WILL SIGN THE 20 WEEKS AND AFTER BAN OF KNIFING A BABY TO DEATH INSIDE ITS MOTHER’S WOMB–WHICH THE PRO CHOICE DEMOCRATS FULLY EMBRACE TO ASSUAGE THEIR INSATIABLE DESIRE FOR THE DEATH MARCH
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) plans to sign a Wisconsin bill banning abortions after 20 weeks and supports similar legislation at the federal level, he says in an open letter, a shift from his refusal to discuss the matter before his 2014 reelection.
ADVERTISEMENT
"As the Wisconsin legislature moves forward in the coming session, further protections for mother and child are likely to come to my desk in the form of a bill to prohibit abortions after 20 weeks. I will sign that bill when it gets to my desk and support similar legislation on the federal level," Walker writes to the anti-abortion group the Susan B. Anthony List. "I was raised to believe in the sanctity of life and I will always fight to protect it."
Walker has long opposed abortion — he sponsored a 1998 bill while in the state legislature banning abortions after 20 weeks and has signed other laws in the state restricting access to abortions and defunding Planned Parenthood — but during his tough 2014 reelection fight he refused to say whether or not he'd support a ban in the state.
"Those are things that we’ll have to talk about in the next legislative session if it comes up," he said in October when asked about the potential ban.
Now he's looking to emphasize his anti-abortion views as he courts religious conservative voters in his likely presidential bid.

The U.S. has stepped in to defuse a rising furor after a top official openly expressed frustration over ongoing historical feuds in Northeast Asia, tacitly blaming South Korea and China for exploiting “nationalist feelings” toward Japan for domestic interests.
At a seminar in Washington on Friday, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman said historical and territorial “disagreements” between the three countries are “understandable, but it can also be frustrating.”
“Nationalist feelings can still be exploited, and it’s not hard for a political leader anywhere to earn cheap applause by vilifying a former enemy. But such provocations produce paralysis, not progress,” she said.
The remarks instantly sparked a stir over Washington’s apparent lack of adequate understanding about the deeply intertwined history and its significance in relations between the three Asian countries. Critics blasted the U.S. for refusing to rein in Tokyo’s ongoing revisionist push in pursuit of its own security and economic interests ahead of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Washington.
Seeking to calm the uproar, the U.S. State Department issued a statement on Monday endorsing Japan’s previous apologies for wartime atrocities which it said marked an “important chapter” in improving its ties with neighbors.
“We continue to emphasize the importance of approaching historical legacy issues in a manner that promotes healing and reconciliation,” the statement read.

After the summit, the two leaders observed the signing of a memorandum of understanding aimed at developing South Korea’s SMART reactors and commercializing its technology in order to jointly enter the global market.
The SMART reactors, designed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, was developed to target the Middle Eastern countries as it generates electric power and also desalinates sea water.
Under the agreement, the two countries are set to conduct a three-year preliminary study by 2018 to review the feasibility of constructing SMART reactors in Saudi Arabia.
“The agreement is expected to open opportunities for South Korean firms to participate in Saudi Arabia’s nuclear reactor project,” said An Chong-bum, Park’s senior secretary for economic affairs.
With the agreement, the South Korean government expects to win $2 billion worth of nuclear reactor deals in Saudi Arabia and additional orders in the future. If realized, it will be the world’s first case of small- and medium-sized reactors being exported to a foreign country, officials said. The world’s largest producer and exporter of oil plans to build more than 12 18-gigawatt nuclear power plants by 2040 to prepare for growing domestic demand for electricity and to secure new energy sources.

ISIS NOW TARGETS SOCIAL NETWORK TWITTER SINCE THEIR PROPAGANDA OF DEATH AND SPORTS KILLING IS BANNED–AS IS TWEETS–THREATHS OF DEATH TO THE INFIDELS OF TWITTER
Isis supporters have threatened Twitter employees, including co-founder Jack Dorsey specifically, with death over the social network’s practice of blocking accounts associated with the group.
In an Arabic post uploaded to the image-sharing site JustPaste.it, the group told Twitter that “your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you”. It warned that Jack Dorsey and Twitter employees have “become a target for the soldiers of the Caliphate and supporters scattered among your midst!”
“You started this failed war … We told you from the beginning it’s not your war, but you didn’t get it and kept closing our accounts on Twitter, but we always come back. But when our lions come and take your breath, you will never come back to life.”
Twitter’s terms of service explicitly ban “direct, specific threats of violence against others”, and the company has followed YouTube in proactively shutting down Isis-related Twitter accounts, with the aid of the UK’s counter-terrorism internet referral unit.
When the company has identified a user as being associated with Isis, it moves aggressively to keep them off the social network. As the Guardian reported previously, “one account run by Rayat al-Tawheed, who speaks on behalf of mainly UK-origin pro-Isis fighters, had a replacement account taken down by Twitter within just a few minutes of its relaunch” in September, after sending just three non-offensive tweets.

INDIA PURSUES THE BULLET TRAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR ITS HIGH SPEED RAIL TRANSPORT FROM MUMBAI TO AHMEDABAD FROM JAPAN, FRANCE AND OTHER COUNTRIES FOR AN OPEN OFFER BID FOR THE 1.2 BILLION PEOPLE PROJECT
The Japanese government has hosted a seminar in New Delhi to promote Shinkansen bullet train technology for India's first high-speed railway line.
Railway officials and experts from both countries attended the event on Saturday.
Japanese Transport State Minister Issei Kitagawa told the gathering that Japan's public and private sector are ready to lend their weight to the project if India adopts Shinkansen technology. He said Japan can offer financial and technological assistance, as well as expertise on how to operate the railway.
East Japan Railway briefed participants on the bullet train's safety technology and operational know-how, accumulated over the past 50 years.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency, or JICA, said the system would be the most suitable for India because it can handle vast numbers of people. JICA is conducting a joint feasibility study on routes for the planned rail network.
India's Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha said he hopes to work with Japan, as its technology and capabilities are tried and true. Afterward, he tried out a simulator to get a taste of what it is like to drive a Shinkansen.
The Indian government plans to lay the first stretch of the railway line in western India, linking Mumbai with Ahmedabad. Competition for the 500-kilometer project is set to intensify as other countries eye the lucrative market, made up of 1.2 billion people. France is one country vying for the project.

THE DRIVE BY THE LEFTIST DEMOCRATS TO FUNDAMNETALLY TRANSFORM THE USA AS DRIVEN BY THE LEFTIST DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS ITS HEAD SPEAKER–THE USE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO SPEAR HEAD THAT EFFORT TO A GREATER SOCIALIST SOCIETY
We all know that Obama doesn’t really love America because he aims to “fundamentally transform” her into a country more to his liking. But one radio host has discovered the plan that makes illegal aliens the key in changing America by creating a “nation within a nation.”
More from Heritage Foundation:
On November 20, President Barack Obama announced that, by executive order, he would grant deportation relief to roughly 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally. The following day, the President issued a memorandum announcing that he was establishing a White House Task Force on New Americans to integrate immigrants (he did not specify “legal”), refugees, and their children economically, civically, and linguistically into American life.
THE LUCRATIVE SIDE TO HOUSE SITTING ALLOWS A COUPLE TO LIVE ALMOST RENT FREE AND MAKE A LIVING OF WATCHING A HOME WITH PETS WHILST THE OWNERS ARE ON VACATION
A MEASLY $4: that’s all Natalie Buckley and Madison Cartwright pay in rental costs each month to live in Sydney’s inner city and they’re not alone.
A growing number of shrewd couples have found a way to sidestep Sydney’s sky high rents and live almost rent and bill free by house-sitting for strangers with pets.
House-sitting has allowed these couples to save thousands of dollars and live in suburbs they wouldn’t normally be able to afford and some have found it so rewarding that they now house sit on a permanent basis.
Ms Buckley and Mr Cartwright have been house-sitting since late last year and in just a few months have saved $7000, which they are putting towards a home deposit.
“We moved out of the apartment we’d been renting for years and no longer have a permanent address. We just move from house to house, lining up our next house-sitting job as the last one ends,” Ms Buckley said.
“It’s not paid work. The owners expect you to take care of their pets and in return you can stay at their home for free while they are away a few weeks or months.”
The couple has back to back house-sitting jobs lined up until June, by which time they expect to be ready to buy a house of their own.
Couples who have been house-sitting for longer have saved substantially more.
Dave and Ester Muller stayed in strangers’ houses for 18 months, saving roughly $25,000 in rent and $2000 in bills.
The couple now rent a property in Brookvale, but say they’ll resume house-sitting soon.
“We’ll be house-sitting over our next holiday,” Ms Muller said.
Matthew Luxford and Ayjan Mustafa are house-sitting permanently to help save for a home deposit and wedding and estimate they’ve saved $13,000 in the six months they’ve been doing it continuously.
WHY IS IT NOT GOOD TO TRAVEL AT THE WINTER SEASON–AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 382 STUCK ON THE RUN WAY FOR 9 HOURS FOR A FLIGHT THAT WAS ONLY TO BE 30 MINUTES FROM DALLAS TO OK
Icy weather and multiple mechanical issues turned an American Airlines flight that was supposed to last for less than an hour into a nine-hour nightmare - before the plane even left the ground.
American Airlines flight 382 was supposed to leave Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport at 1.45pm on Friday for Oklahoma City, but didn't take off until 10.48pm.
The plane was originally grounded because it was being de-iced, a process that took five hours because of heavy snow.
But just as the plane reached the end of the runway and passengers thought they were finally getting in the air, it was revealed there was a mechanical issue with the aircraft.
WHO IS THE NEW 40 YEAR OLD GREECE PRIME MINISTER ALEXIOS TSIPRAS–ONLY THE END TIMES CAN ANSWER HIS COURSE IN HUMAN HISTORY
Alexios Tsipras has been prime minister of Greece for just over a month and is already a candidate for another office, according to some Christian prophecy buffs – the office of “Antichrist.”
Tsipras has “burst onto the scene,” as one blogger describes it, at a time of great economic uncertainty in a country, Greece, that was the 10th member to join the European Union in 1981. And, of course, everyone knows that the Bible predicts the antichrist will arise from a 10-member confederation of nations, presumed by many to be the European Union, which is seen as the “revived Roman empire” described in Daniel and Revelation.
This Euro rock star has “appeared out of nowhere over the last couple of years, almost magically,” writes one prophecy blogger with sights on Tsipras.
Among the characteristics that have put the 40-year-old leader on the radar of antichrist hunters are:
1) He is a young, charismatic leader suddenly assuming power in Greece and executing actions “in his own name.” He apparently issued his own oath of office to himself.
2) He recently met with Pope Francis at the Vatican to discuss a peace deal for the Middle East.
3) He is an avowed atheist of Jewish descent.
4) He is of Greek nationality.
5) He was born on July 28, 1974, which that year fell on the Tisha B’Av or the 9th of Av on the Jewish calendar, the day on which many Jewish calamities occurred including the destruction of first and second temples and the eviction of Jews from England in the year 1290 and from Spain in 1492.
6) He is rabidly anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist.

AMERICAN GINSENG GETTING A LARGE MARKET IN CHINA ESPECIALLY IN HONG KONG WORTH $77.3 MILLION IN 2014–AS A RECENT GINSENG SELLS FOR $2,300 PER POUND
One of the most popular holiday gifts in China is ginseng, stamped with an unusual guarantee: 100% American.
Few consumers are more faithful to American products than Chinese users of ginseng: the U.S. exported $77.3 million in ginseng roots last year, most of it to Hong Kong, and American ginseng fetches the highest price of any cultivated variety.
The Asian market prizes the American strain for its stronger flavor and high levels of the active ingredient that is said to unlock the root's myriad but unproven health benefits.
The other part of the U.S.' competitive advantage is favorable feng shui. Ginseng grown in North America is said to have a "cool" nature and calming effect, which means it can be taken daily; Asian ginseng is considered "hot" and must be consumed in limited quantities.
American ginseng is cheaper in the U.S. than in China. In the San Gabriel Valley, herbal stores cluster on streets near hotels popular with tourists, their shelves loaded with red boxes covered in quality seals and branded with American flags.
But an American flag is no guarantee of American authenticity, said Tom Hack, international marketing director for the Ginseng Board of Wisconsin, where he says up 95% of the U.S. crop is grown.
In a recent survey at an Asian food expo in Southern California, the board found that less than 12% of ginseng products labeled as Wisconsin ginseng actually came from Wisconsin.
Hack says American ginseng purchased in America is more likely to be Canadian, or....
Chances are, he said, the Chinese tourists "are taking Chinese-raised 'American ginseng' back with them."

THE LIST OF DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE DISDAINED FOR ISRAEL AND THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU SPEECH- WHO’S WHO WILL NOT ATTEND?–SINCE THE THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOW RUN BY THE LEFTIST AGENDA WHO IS ANTI ISRAEL–THE HOUSE DEMOCRAT WILL HAVE 27 MEMBERS AND 5 DEMOCRAT SENATORS NOT ATTENDING
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to deliver one of the most controversial speeches to a joint session of Congress by a foreign leader ever, and Vice President Biden and a number of top Democrats won’t be attending.
Netanyahu is expected to criticize the White House’s negotiations on Iran's nuclear program in his March 3 speech. While Biden has cited a scheduling conflict, other Democrats are staying away from the speech to protest what they see as an attack on President Obama.
Congressional Democrats are angry that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) invited Netanyahu to speak to Congress without first telling the White House. Obama has said he will not meet with Netanyahu during the visit because it will occur two weeks before Israeli elections are set to take place.
Democrats face a difficult decision on whether to attend the address. Many will want to show support for the White House but will be wary of snubbing the leader of an important U.S. ally.
Here is a list of the Democrats who are planning to skip the speech and those who are planning to go.
SKIPPING
House (27)
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (Ore.) — Wrote a Jan. 29 column in The Huffington Post explaining his decision, saying the Constitution “vests the responsibility for foreign affairs in the president.”
Rep. G.K. Butterfield (N.C.) — The head of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) focused on Boehner undermining Obama in a statement and emphasized he's not urging a boycott.
Rep. Andre Carson (Ind.)
Rep. James Clyburn (S.C.) — Clyburn is the highest-ranking Democratic leader to say he’ll skip the speech.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.): “After deliberation, I have decided I cannot in good conscience attend the Prime Minister’s speech. My decision not to attend is not a reflection of my support for Israel and its continued existence as a state and home for the Jewish people. I have always strongly supported Israel and I always will,” said Cohen in a statement.
Rep. Peter DeFazio (Ore.)
Rep. Diana DeGette (Colo.)
Rep. Donna Edwards (Md.)
Rep. Keith Ellison (Minn.) — He is head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), a member of the CBC and the first Muslim in Congress.
Rep. Marcia Fudge (Ohio)

S KOREA LAUNCHES ITS NEWEST SUBMARINE TO COUNTER THE 70 ACTIVE N KOREA SUBMARINE–NAMED AFTER A FEMALE INDEPENDENCE FIGHTER YU GWAN-SUN
Yu Gwan-sun is the name of the Korean Navy's newest submarine and it's the first vessel to be named after a woman in the modern Navy's 70-year history.
The Korean Navy announced Sunday that the Type 214, 18-hundred-ton attack submarine will be named after Yu, an admired student independence fighter who was a leader in the March 1st Movement against Japan's colonial rule of Korea in 1919.
She died at the age of 18 at the hands of Japanese troops as a result of being tortured in prison.
In a written statement, the Navy said the naming of the vessel comes at a special time, as this year marks the 70th anniversary of the country's liberation and the 95th anniversary of Yu's passing in prison.
The diesel-powered submarine will be deployed on anti-vessel and anti-submarine missions.
It is equipped with cruise missiles and torpedoes and will be able to travel to and from Korean to Hawaii on a single tank of fuel.
It has an underwater speed of up to 20 knots.
The submarine is being built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering and it will be delivered in November of next year.
THE US NAVY RAILGUN NOT YET READY FOR PRIME TIME–AS THE LATEST NAVAL STEALTH SHIPS THE ZUMWALT CLASS WILL SOME DAY BE EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY GUN THAT CAN DESTROY A TARGET 100 MILE AWAY WITH A NONE EXPLOSIVE PROJECTILE
The US Navy has been wowing people with electromagnetic railguns, a long-range electrically-powered weapon, in concept and prototype for years now. But the single big obstacle that keeps the railgun off boats remains the same as it ever was: ships can’t generate enough power to fire them.
At the Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo, Vice Adm. William Hilarides explained that three problems with the railgun remain: room on ships, integrating the new weapons with the old weapons systems, and power—as in, not enough of it.
The railgun doesn’t rely on chemical explosions like more conventional weapons. Instead, the projectile is housed in a electrically conductive metal armature, which connects two parallel, 30-foot rails. A huge 25-megawatt electric pulse is sent down the rails, creating the magnetic fields that shoot the armature and projectile out.
For the Navy, the upsides to an electromagnetic railgun are clear: its range of 100 miles is about double that of conventional high-velocity projectiles, and its projectiles, which go seven times the speed of sound, aren't explosive.
Not only does this make them cheaper and easier to store and transport, but it also eliminates the threat of ordnances lying unexploded long after the war ends.
