We’ve all heard the lie, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you.” Not only is that not true, but there’s a corollary I frequently use as well. “It’s what you know that just ain’t, so that truly bites you in the behind.” A perfect example of that is the idea of Judicial...

Showing determination and resolve, President Donald Trump on Sunday became the first sitting U.S. president in history to set foot in North Korea following his third face-to-face meeting with North Korean leader and Chairman Kim Jong Un.
The meeting was the first between the two leaders since nuclear talks brokedown during the Hanoi summit in Vietnam, this past February when President Trump walked away from a ‘bad deal’. Following the completion of the G20 Summit in Japan, President Trump first met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in for official visit and meetings, then traveled by helicopter to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea, while extending the invitation to Kim Jong Un to join them. Recall, the first inkling and mention of such a meeting with the intention of possibly meeting with President Kim occurred earlier this past week. Understand, that mention by President Trump, was a signal that the effort was already underway diplomatically through negotiations and planning by the White House, State Department and both South and North Korea.
President Trump told reporters early this morning, “We respect each other and referring to Kim Jong Un, has agreed to meet and I am going to meet him in about 4 minutes.” Both Trump and the North Korean leader shook hands at the DMZ representing the Military Demarcation. Kim Jong Un told President Trump, “Good to see you again.” He added that he “never expected” to see Trump “at this place.” President Trump added,
“Stepping across that line was a great honor and I think it’s historic, it’s a great day for the world.” The President added that he would consider inviting Kim Jong Un to the White House “right now.”
After their meeting, at approximately 2:46 a.m. (EST), President Trump crossed over the 16-inch dividing line with Kim Jong Un, becoming the first U.S. president to walk on North Korean soil. While this was indeed a historic photo, understand the true purpose behind this event was the President’s actual motives and intentions were to revitalize stalled nuclear talks and demonstrate the continued friendship between both countries. The encounter was the third time President Trump and Chairman Kim have gotten together in person. Both leaders have said they are committed to the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula.
The two leaders later held a bilateral meeting at The Freedom House in South Korea where both men spoke to the press. Kim Jong Un, through an interpreter, said, “I believe this is an expression of [the president’s] willingness to eliminate all the unfortunate past and open a new future.” Trump reciprocated and said he has developed a “good relationship” with Kim Jong Un. After Kim Jong Un returned to his country, President Trump told reporters that he was the one who offered to step across the line and that the North Korean leader said he would be “honored” by the gesture.
Remember, the last time the two leaders met was in Hanoi in February in which those discussions were to discuss denuclearization, unfortunately, President Trump abruptly ended the meeting and opted not to reach an agreement with Kim Jong Un, asserting that the North Korean leader had unrealistic expectations about a deal. President Trump explained after the summit, “Basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that. They were willing to de-nuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn’t give up all of the sanctions for that.” He further added, “Sometimes you have to walk.”
Today’s remarkable sequence of events underscored the unconventional detente between the U.S. and North Korea, longtime adversaries whose leaders have struck a warm personal connection. The meeting is an extraordinary development, despite the doubt already being placed on its impact for both the U.S. and North Korea. Many say neither side has changed its negotiating stance, believing that once talks resume, both sides will run into the same wall of repeating what has been said before.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo later said that Stephen Biegun, the U.S. special representative for North Korea, would probably begin the new working-level talks with his counterparts from the North Korean foreign ministry in the middle of July at a location yet to be determined. Pompeo reiterated that despite what the media has said, “Even in Hanoi, we made progress,” “And so we think we do have a jumping-off point for these discussions, which will put us in a place where we can truly evaluate if there is any clear path forward. Having listened to Chairman Kim today, I think there is.” It should be noted that while the media and pundits may be critical, numerous other foreign policy experts have said that both countries were really close in Hanoi, with basic shortcomings on defining terms. Secretary Pompeo acknowledged that the two sides didn’t yet have a common definition of denuclearization but asserted that they were “not at square one.”
This round of the Pyongyang engagement—unfolding in summits last June in Singapore and then in Vietnam in February—has contrasted with previous denuclearization efforts through the substantial role the two countries’ leaders have taken in the deal making. Previous efforts leaned more on working-level talks to iron out disarmament agreements. Understand, negotiations with North Korea to try to convince it to abandon its controversial nuclear program reached a peak last year when President Trump and Mr. Kim had a historic meeting in Singapore. They both committed to the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula, but without clarifying what that meant. That is the sticking point right now and the reason President Trump for the most part walked out of the Hanoi Summit.
The difference. Pyongyang wants the process to unfold in a gradual, step-by-step process, as the U.S. removes some economic penalties on the cash-strapped regime. Washington and the White House desires a grander bargain where the North agrees to specifics before sanctions are relaxed.
As Secretary Pompeo noted, negotiators from the two countries will meet in the next weeks to resume discussions about North Korea’s nuclear program. It is unknown yet whether the U.S. and North Korea offered new, more flexible stances for the denuclearization talks. But some security experts see value in today’s third, though short meeting nonetheless because it reduces the likelihood that Pyongyang will turn to even smaller-scale provocations. President Trump told said he was not looking for speed, but looking to get it right.
Sanctions on North Korea, he added, would remain in place though he appeared to leave open the possibility of easing them as part of the talks. The President also said he had invited Mr. Kim to visit Washington in the future.
Negotiations with North Korea to try to convince it to abandon its controversial nuclear program reached a peak last year when President Trump and Mr. Kim had a historic meeting in Singapore. They both committed to the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula, but without clarifying what that meant. That will be a pivotal goal and I believe this President will attain it.
Bottom line: This is a significant day for American diplomacy. To his credit, President Trump caused this happen. This was a big risk and the President needs to be applauded for it. One must understand the power President Trump welds, realize Kim did not have to approve of this, nor show up when you consider the stress that is being imposed and levied on him and his country by the weight of U.S. sanctions. In the effort to make this happen, which by the way started days ago — this did not occur by chance, this idea was President Trump’s doing well before wheels-up from Joint Base Andrews last week.
Inside Side Note: The real dynamics are somewhat different, et al the messaging, despite the speculation and questioning as to when, how and whether this meeting/event was going to happen. Behind the scenes, this was already set in stone, so to speak, when the possibility was first announced earlier last week. Again, understand, that mention by President Trump, was a signal that the effort was already underway diplomatically.
This President took a big risk — regardless if you are liberal or Conservative, you must understand, Donald Trump has the courage to fail. This is how history is made, by taking positive steps despite the possibility of failure.
In the coming days, as is already occurring as you read this, the mainstream media will relentlessly attack and be critical of President Trump’s success. My advice to all of you: Ignore it! It makes you part of the problem and enablers and or part and members of the political-lefts’, the Progressives’, and Socialists’ USEFUL IDIOTS! The reason, this Presidents unique and effect unconventional, asymmetric and unorthodox efforts, methods and means to get things done. As I’ve said, many time in the past, this President, Donald Trump does not follow the traditional conventional political playbook. He is bold, dynamic, and in your face. And it is working and it is driving his opponents, agitators, and detractors insane. Trump achieved another first with his venture, accomplishing a number critical and historic steps – the most important of which was showing U.S. determination and resolve in diplomacy and statesmanship. The diplomatic table now has been reset with North Korea, for negotiations to be restarted and a solid effort to continue.

If all that was not enough for this Renaissance Man, Jay was featured in Parachute Magazine in March 2010 for setting a new world record of having jumped from an airplane each and every month for 32 years. His final tally was 1,481 successful jumps, some of which the main chute failed, and he had to land with his emergency chute!
The Tom Renz Show – Rush was the master of being able to communicate some of the most complex subjects in a way that was not only understandable and entertaining but also in a way that provided hope. We are at war, and it might not be a physical, bombs-falling kind of war, but it is war nevertheless. This is a global war against freedom…
The doctors upstairs had given up on stopping Beth’s labor and had tried to turn the baby, which also did not work. The baby was going to come out shoulder first. They suited me up and took me in to watch my daughter’s birth, eight weeks early, in an emergency c-section. Babies cannot come out shoulder first, and the only reason Beth saw a doctor was that…
As numerous observers have mentioned during the rona madness, the very panic from the top, combined with the message that there was no treatment – which we now fully know was a lie – created a hysterical expectation about the vaccine that was doomed from the outset. The words “warp speed,” and “vaccine development” never belonged in the same sentence…
China really doesn’t have the capability to extend its power beyond its borders, which they’re working to fix that by building aircraft carriers, with 25-year-old Russian technology, the technology they’ve stolen from others, and a failed economy. We’ve been hearing reports the Chinese Communists are going to invade Taiwan and are practicing amphibious invasions…
Nurses Out Loud with Jodi O’Malley MSN, RN – What has transpired over the last three years is horrendous and unbelievable that, as a society, we could be played that easily! What hope does a child have these days if they have parents that were so easily manipulated and controlled? Many of them watched as their parents complied with what they were “told” to do and merely “followed orders.” What type of messaging does that send to the future of our nation?
After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Why are Republicans going after Santos? They have the most to lose if he is kicked out of Congress. Why wouldn’t they focus their thin majority control of Congress and go after Biden and his corrupt cabinet? Now that is the million dollar question, for there are bigger messy issues to tackle that Biden and…
The two sets of reports seem to run in parallel, oblivious to one another. To make matters worse, the World Economic Forum in Davos is generating a series of press clips not about world economics, interest rates, or income inequities, but rather on transhumanism, gene editing, digital currency, and misinformation as a propaganda tool to…
The Tom Renz Show – Frank, who holds no government position, spoke on “the future of global health care” and offered advice on how lobbyists could influence American policy. I’m happy to report that all our evil globalist billionaire friends in Davos are apparently having a great time! We have learned that the demand for prostitutes has spiked significantly…
Nearly 400 Muslim Arabs, including Bedouins, enlisted in the IDF over the last year, according to official army figures. The maverick officer says that there is indeed a sense of something new in the air, pointing to the landmark 2020 Abraham Accords, which saw four Arab countries normalize relations with Israel. Here is her story…
Abraham Lincoln told us: “The people are the masters of both Congress and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who prevent it.” The people are apparently no longer masters of either the government or the courts, filled as they have become with “fellow-travelers” supporting Marxist ideals guiding our path to Socialism…
Dr. Paul Alexander Liberty Hour – Parents have to be made aware that young persons, and teens are in close proximity to this deadly drug now. Recreational drugs are increasingly laced with Fentanyl. The animal tranquilizer Xylazine is now on the streets and can kill masses of people. The hands of the police, who IMO do a remarkable job, are tied…
Now comes a newly published medical study of extreme importance. The researchers found all the subjects had large quantities of free circulating Spike protein generated from the vaccines, while control subjects without myocarditis did not. That is a huge, important medical finding…
Teachers unions claim to be ‘for education,’ ‘for students,’ and for various other high-sounding things, but I learned growing up that teachers unions are no more for students than auto worker’s unions are for cars. Unions, rather, exist to serve the interests of those who pay union dues. Students pay no dues to the teachers unions, and neither do parents…
His message is clear: “If you need to worry about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15.” This is the second time Biden has warned us not to even think about defending our Constitution. The words of Joe Biden in his wretched MLK speech cut deeply. Claiming to love his “right-wing friends,” he laughed in our faces as he…
Celebrating 7 incredible years working to restore liberty and justice to our beloved America.
