North Korean Mobile ICBMs Could Be in The Field

At a Senate hearing, on Tuesday, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper suggested that North Korea might have mobile ICBMs in the field.

"Last April it displayed what appears to be a rogue mobile intercontinental ballistic missile. We believe North Korea has already taken initial steps towards fielding this system, although it remains untested."

Over the past weeks, the North has repeatedly threatened war with the US, South Korea, and Japan.

They even stated that after March 11 they would have the right to launch a nuclear strike.

Just a month ago, the North conducted a nuclear test and three months ago were successful in testing a long range rocket.

South Korean and US forces are currently in the midst of war games, set to last until the end of April.

Boulder Riot Reports False

Fox Theater on a normal day

For a short time a riot was reported in Boulder, Colorado. Initial reports were that a riot broke out, outside of the Fox Theater, on 13th Street.

According to those reports bottles, rocks, and other objects were being thrown by the crowd. Three hundred or so people had gathered to see a free concert, with tickets on a first come basis.

Boulder Police rushed to the scene, some in riot gear, and closed off 13th Street. Scanner traffic suggested that they were authorized to use non lethal weapons, if necessary.

However, only a large noisy crowd, was to be found, and no signs of violence. Cellphone cameras were used by people, in the crowd, to show that nothing was really going on. Police did make the decision to separate the crowd into smaller groups and kept a presence on the scene.

Sangster's Thoughts: Conservative Surrender Movement

There's a growing movement within conservative ranks, which is decidedly unfortunate. They see a state elect a Democrat majority or pass a liberal law and start telling other conservatives to move out of that state. Town by town, city by city, county by county, state by state it has seen conservatives abandon their homes.

So is this how conservatives deal with something they don't like? Run away from it and surrender that state? If that's how you want to keep doing things, you'll soon run out of states to escape to. And then where will you go? There's not exactly another continent available for us to go found a new nation, based on our values.

Is it not a better answer to fight for each state? To keep what we do have, and work on gaining back what we've lost? O some might seem too far gone, for there to be much hope, but does that really mean we should give up on them? Others are just barely across the line and are easily re-takeable.

If we truly do believe in this nation, we need to dig in, not give up another inch, and then get out of the trenches and begin taking the country back. This is a war and we need to begin fighting. We need to be planning for 2014. Not just that we will vote, but who we vote for. Real conservative candidates need to be found, developed, put into place, and supported. It's time for all conservatives to get involved, not just talk about becoming involved.

The United States is not done. There is still hope to recover the greatest nation the world has ever known. Will it be easy? No, every war comes with casualties, even if they don't involve blood. However, it is necessary if we truly believe in what we profess.

Conservatives need to make a decision. Do we truly begin the fight and war which we love to talk about, on Twitter, Facebook, in our blogs, and at conferences? Or do we just give in and join the conservative surrender movement?

Sangster's Thoughts: Should Conservatives Leave Colorado? No! It's a State to Be Proud Of

I've heard a lot of talk lately about why conservative Coloradans should move out of the state, due to the "liberal take over". Almost all of this talk has come from people who do not live here, and in many cases have never been here. Their entire viewpoint is based upon what they hear in the news.

Yes, we suffered a tragedy when lives were taken, in July. Indeed we suffered another when the House went Democrat, leaving both the House and Senate controlled by them. Combined with having a Democrat governor, it means we will seen unfortunate bills passed, such as the unconstitutional gun bills.

But are those really reasons to leave? As Coloradans we live in one of the most beautiful areas on this Earth. We have some of the most amazing mountains, in the world, not to mention all the other magnificent natural attractions there are here. While we might complain about the weather, we enjoy that we truly do get all of the possible seasons, even if they might all happen within hours of each other. Colorado is the future. Whether that be in sports, having every at least one team for practically every sport there is; in the growing food and drink scene, name somewhere else with more microbreweries, and other types are expanding as well; in our amazing music and cultural scene; technologically, such as our spaceport in the works; or many many other areas.

The answer is not surrendering and running away. No, Colorado is something worth defending and fighting for. In 2014, we will have the opportunity to bring a conservative majority back to the House, Senate, and Governorship. In the House, a majority is thirty-three seats, with it currently split thirty-seven Democrats and twenty-eight seats Republican. Only a gain of five seats is needed. Only three seats are needed to regain the Senate, and there are ten Democrats facing the end of their terms. There will also be an election for Governor.

All combined, it means that 2014 could see House, Senate, and Governor go red. 2014 could see Colorado not just become a Republican state, but a Conservative one. If that happens we can repeal the laws which suppress Constitutional rights, and we can see new laws, that actually protect freedom and financial growth, put into place.

For anyone considering leaving Colorado, or not moving here, because of the current political climate, keep those facts in mind. Coloradans are not happy with their government for suppressing gun rights. We will fight to take back our state, in 2014. And as long as our numbers aren't siphoned away, we will win. In fact, that's a very good reason to move to Colorado. Instead of conservatives leaving Colorado, more should come join us.

The Mayor's office plans to challenge the judge's ruling.

New York Judge Decides Jews to Be Allowed in Jury

Abdel Hameed Shehadeh

A New York city judge announced that he was rejecting a request for Jews to be excluded from a jury.

The request was made, in February, by the defense attorney for Abdel Hameed Shehadeh.

Shehadeh is on trial for conspiracy to kill Americans in Afghanistan.

His attorney had said, "Given that there's going to be inflammatory testimony about Jews and Zionism, I think it would be hard for Jews to cast aside any innate antipathy."

Prosecutors argued that excluding people based on their ethnicity or religious beliefs would be in violation of the Constitution.

Other Muslims on trial, in the US, have tried to have the same condition put on the jury, and all have had their request denied.
