North Korea threatens to attack united stete off amrica

 "The further Ulchi Freedom Guardian joint military exercises are intensified, the strongest military counteraction the (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) will take to cope with them," a spokesman for North Korea's National Defense Commission (NDC) said Saturday. A State Department official told  allnewses24
on Saturday it was aware of the threats. The exercises are transparent, defense-minded and are designed to increase the readiness of South Korea and the region, the State Department official said. "These exercises are a clear demonstration of the U.S.

commitment to the alliance," the official said. While threatening military action is nothing new for the regime (Kim Jong Un told his troops they should be ready to fight a "sacred war" in the days leading up to the exercises in 2012, for example), the rhetoric coming out of Pyongang seems particularly ratcheted-up this time around.





 "The army and people of the DPRK are no longer what they used to be in the past when they had to counter the U.S. nukes with rifles," the NDC spokesman continued, saying North Korea "is the invincible power equipped with both [the] latest offensive and defensive means unknown to the world..." Kim Jong Un and North Korea's military 55 photos: Kim Jong Un and North Korea's military A state television report repeated the claim that this isn't the same old, ill-equipped North Korea that never could stand up to the United States in the past.

Why Hillary Clinton's Ideas Are So Similar to barak Obama's

  Hillary Clinton's position on a key issue, often there's an easy way to know: it's usually the same as President Barack Obama's. From community college (make it free) to ending the U.S. embargo with Cuba (a good idea) to going around Republicans in Congress and using executive power to change U.S. policy on immigration (yes) to creating a Medicare-for-all style health system (no) to raising the minimum wage (yes, but not to $15 an hour),





 Clinton's stances have closely mirrored those of Obama. The president refuses to say if he supports the creation of the Keystone XL pipeline and vetoed a bill authorizing it earlier this year because he said he wanted to wait until the end of a review by the State Department. Clinton won't take a position either. Related: Inside Hillary Clinton's Big New College Proposal One of the biggest differences between the country's two leading Democrats is on trade and even there it is not large: Obama is a strong supporter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership,

 a sweeping multinational trade deal which most congressional Democrats and the party's other presidential candidates oppose. Clinton has so far not taken a firm position on it. It's not surprising that two Democrats agree on many issues, but the overlap between the pair is striking. The similarity likely illustrates an awareness from Clinton that distancing herself from Obama would not help her in the Democrat primary. It also reflects the deep connections between Obama's team and Clinton's.

 "President Obama and Secretary Clinton have shared the experience of governing. They both know that for policy platforms to be implemented, they have to work their way through Washington's governing process. Neither can afford simply to pander," said Ari Ratner, who worked on Obama's 2008 campaign and then served as a policy advisor in the State Department under Clinton. Many of Clinton's top advisers were deeply involved in some of Obama's top policy achievements. Clinton policy adviser Neera Tanden and Clinton director of state campaigns and political engagement Marlon Marshall were a part of the conception and implementation of Obamacare.

US and Cuba spar over human rights after flag ceremony

"We remain convinced the people of Cuba would be best served by a genuine democracy, where people are free to choose their leaders,"

Being teetotal is intoxicating: giving up alcohol gave me back my life

During the hour before my guests arrived for my 30th birthday party, there was a blackout and I had to apply my makeup under the dim glow of a flickering candle. By midnight, long after the electricity supply had returned, there was another blackout – this one in my head. I was so drunk that I had to be carted off to bed with a bucket strategically positioned beside my pillow, leaving all my friends downstairs to celebrate my birthday without me.





 This was not an unusual occurrence, as I had perpetually failed to realise that I couldn’t moderate my alcohol intake, no matter what rules I tried to establish: no wine (too strong, made me fall over); no midweek drinking; no daytime drinking. Despite these self-imposed boundaries, I would frequently get absolutely hammered.






 There was dancing on tables, lots of loud singing, meandering conversations that wound on late into the night, and much laughter. But there were also the darker repercussions of drinking so much that you lose your mind temporarily, and gradually, over the years, my self-esteem became badly damaged as a result of regular alcohol misuse. In April 2011, I woke up in hospital after a heavy binge that concluded with me collapsing on the pavement outside my house. The morning after, and somewhat reluctantly, I decided to stop drinking for good. The close proximity of serious injury (or worse) that evening imbued me with a fear sufficient to curb the cravings and battle through the first few months of sobriety. But becoming a non-drinker was never how I perceived myself – people who chose to not drink were either boring or do-gooders. I was neither. Drinking defined me; I adored its recklessness and its glamour. I loved the confidence it sprinkled liberally over my personality – a personality which, when dry, struck me initially as being quiet and boring. My life stretched out in front of me like a tiresome, repetitive treadmill of work and sleep, with no more injections of fun and hedonism to brighten things up. For at least a year,





 I was like a sullen teenager who had been grounded. I felt as though I’d discovered a magic solution to all that had been wrong with my life: just don’t drink alcohol But slowly, things began to change. After about 18 months, I noticed that when I spoke to people with whom I wasn’t overly familiar I could easily hold their gaze without feeling self-conscious. I had begun to appreciate in detail the world around me, and was struck by the magnificence of things that I’d always taken for granted: a heron fishing in a lake; a beautiful sunset; a friendly conversation with a stranger. I realised that I was taking far more interest in people and what they had to say, as opposed to the old version of me who always had one eye on my companion and the other on what was left in the bottle. I felt relaxed, and woke up feeling energised and happy.




 The panic attacks, which had plagued me for years, vanished, and my mood remained on a steady plateau, with none of the turbulence that characterised it as a drinker. Up until the time I made the decision to cut alcohol out for good, I hadn’t given much thought to what life without it would be like. I’d never really considered myself to be an alcoholic, regarding my habit as still being on the right side of the line (just) that divided “responsible drinking” from “problem drinking”. But I was very familiar with the common perception of becoming sober, that each day would be a battle of wills to stop that dangerous first glass ever approaching your lips. Surprisingly, I gradually came to acknowledge the unthinkable – I actually liked being a non-drinker. I was different without alcohol. I wasn’t a bad person who hated her own reflection and woke in the middle of the night being eaten alive by regrets and shame.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/12/teetotal-alcohol-drink-party-regrets-blackouts?CMP=fb_gu

 I felt as though I’d discovered a magic solution to all that had been wrong with my life, and it was so simple: just don’t drink alcohol. Four and a half years later and I find it remarkable that I spent more than 20 years of my life getting drunk, as these days I don’t miss a single thing about it. My drinking years: ‘Everyone has blackouts, don’t they?’ Read more As someone who chooses to not drink, I have become acutely aware of how alcocentric the UK is, and how drinking is consistently tied in with having fun and being happy and relaxed. The predominant message is that alcohol is a prerequisite for letting your hair down and living it up.


But the person who has stepped in to replace her is one I am much fonder of. She’s less wild and more reserved, but she knows her own mind, fulfils her potential, meets her responsibilities and feels the full extent of her emotions without any cushioning. For many years I carried around a deep-seated fear that when I died, it would be beneath a black cloud of regret for all that I despised about myself as a drinker. Without alcohol in my life, that worry has disappeared and I’ve discovered a freedom and lightness that I never knew existed.

Number of Uninsured Has Declined by 15 Million Since 2013, Administration speke.

The number of people without health insurance continues to decline and has dropped by 15.8 million, or one-third, since 2013, the Obama administration said Tuesday. The decline occurred as major provisions of the Affordable Care Act took effect. The law expanded coverage through Medicaid and through subsidies for private insurance, starting in 2014. In the first three months of this year, the National Center for Health Statistics said, 29 million people were uninsured. That was seven million fewer than the average for 2014, after a reduction of 8.8 million from 2013 to 2014. The data may bolster Democrats’ claims that the law is working as they intended, but it is unlikely to prompt Republicans to let up on criticism of the law, which was passed without any Republican votes.




  The center said that the proportion of the population without insurance had declined by five percentage points, to 9.2 percent, in the first quarter of this year, from 14.4 percent in 2013. Among people age 18 to 64, the number who were uninsured dropped by about one-third, to 25.5 million, in the first quarter of this year, from 39.6 million in 2013. And among children under 18, the number of uninsured declined to 3.4 million this year,

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/12/us/number-of-uninsured-has-declined-by-15-million-since-2013-administration-says.html?_r=0
 from 4.8 million in 2013. The decline in the number of uninsured coincides with improvements in the economy. In the last two years, the recovery has gained traction and the unemployment rate has declined steadily.

Obesity is an incurable disease. So why is the government intent on punishing sufferers?

 It’s hard to compare addiction rates, or to produce a clear definition that holds true across all substances and behaviours. But consider this crude contrast: of people who use crack cocaine, 10%-20% become addicted to it; across a nine-year study of 176,000 obese people, 98.3% of the men and 97.8% of the women failed to return to a healthy weight. Once extreme overeating begins, it appears to be almost impossible to stop.

"The truth of the matter is, inside of Iran, the people most opposed to the deal are the Revolutionary Guard, the Quds Force, hardliners who are implacably opposed to any cooperation with the international community," Obama said.

RedState Host Says Trump's Megyn Kelly Comments 'Beginning of the End'

 The conservative RedState Gathering began Thursday night with activists cheering wildly at a debate party as Donald Trump dismissed a question from Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly about misogynist rhetoric as "political correctness."



 Less than 36 hours later, the same audience erupted into applause and a few scatted boos Saturday as host Erick Erickson announced he had banned Trump from the event for suggesting Kelly was menstruating when she asked the question. "I think he has disqualified himself," Erickson told reporters, adding that the episode "probably is the beginning of the end" for Trump. READ MORE AT MSNBC: Inside Trump's RedState Meltdown If there's one thing Trump has proved so far, it's that nobody can predict what's going to happen in the polls. But the political winds seemed to have changed here in Atlanta, where Trump wore out his welcome in an extremely short period with the hardline voters who should be his base.



 To hear Erickson describe it, the Trump cancellation is the start of a broader exorcism for the conservative movement in which they must confront their snarling demons to find salvation the other side. "I have emails from people referring to Megyn Kelly as a whore, I have emails from people referring to me as gay, I have emails referring to the president by the n-word and [saying] Donald Trump is standing up to all of us," he said onstage.



"We will not gain the White House if we are not going to be happy warriors." Language like this prompted whoops of approval Saturday, but it may have fallen flat even a day earlier. In over a dozen interviews before Trump's feud with Kelly, RedState participants offered strikingly similar assessments of the billionaire populist.
