The ‘America first’ president just gave Kim Jong Un cover for the murder of an American student – Washington Examiner

It’s amazing how far people can get with President Trump so long as they dangle in front of him the promise of prestige.

You can be a murderous third-world dictator and oversee the slow execution of an American citizen, and the president will defend you for it before the entire world just so long as he believes doing so will get him closer to boosting his own personal and professional capital.

This isn’t hyperbole either. The president did exactly this Thursday during a joint press conference in Hanoi, Vietnam, with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump actually defended the potbellied tyrant king’s claim that he was in the dark in 2016 when his regime imprisoned and tortured a University of Virginia student from Ohio.

Otto Warmbier, who was beaten into a coma by North Korean prison guards during his 17-month imprisonment, died shortly after arriving back in the U.S. in June 2017.

“He felt badly about it. He felt very badly,” Trump said Thursday after his second summit with Kim, adding they discussed Warmbier’s death privately. “He tells me that he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word.”

The president added that it wouldn’t have been in Kim’s interest for Warmbier to be irreparably harmed, saying, “I don’t think that the top leadership knew about it. I don’t believe that [Kim] would have allowed that to happen.”

“It just wasn’t to his advantage to allow that to happen,” Trump said.

Considering the Kim regime maintains an iron grip on all information that comes in and out of North Korea, and the fact that he has a murderous special police who are tasked specifically with keeping him informed of all goings on in the country, Trump’s suggestion that the North Korean despot wasn’t aware of what was happening to Warmbier beggars belief.

Trump also appeared to downplay the fact that North Korea is a country-sized concentration camp, which Kim works viciously to control.

“You’ve got a lot of people,” Trump said during Thursday’s press conference. “Big country, a lot of people. And in those prisons and those camps, you’ve got a lot of people. And some really bad things happened to Otto. … But [Kim] tells me he didn’t know about it.”

Excuse me, but what the heck is this?

This is the same president who said of Warmbier’s death at the 2018 State of the Union address: “We need only look at the depraved character of the North Korean regime to understand the nature of the nuclear threat.”

This is the same president who said after his first summit with Kim: “I think without Otto this would not have happened. Something happened from that day — it was a terrible thing. It was brutal. A lot of people started to focus on what was going on, including North Korea. I really think that Otto is someone who did not die in vain.”

But now? Well, now Trump believes he is this much closer to getting North Korea to agree to denuclearize. He has dreams of winning credit for what many believe is impossible. He has dreams of finally winning the approval of all those people who mock and curse him. So, he’s playing nice with Kim, going so far as to absolve the cruel dictator of any responsibility for the murder of an American college student.

I generally agree with my Washington Examiner colleague Tom Rogan when he writes that Warmbier’s murder should not alter U.S. policy towards North Korea. But there’s a canyon between “complimentary diplomacy” and running defense for a man whose many, many crimes include the torture and murder of an American citizen.

America first, sure, Trump says. Just after we cozy up to this insane, anti-U.S. tyrant whose hatchet men very recently beat an American citizen to death.

Cohen bolstered the character charges against Trump but weakened the legal ones – Washington Examiner

The words of a criminal liar ought not be treated as gospel. Still, Michael Cohen’s three days of testimony were nevertheless revealing. Revealing not in the sense of showing us anything new but in bolstering two beliefs we already held.

First, Cohen’s inside stories from the Trump Organization supported the impression we’ve long had of Donald Trump’s character.

Second, Cohen’s testimony poked holes in the Democrats’ favorite charges of criminal or impeachable acts by Trump.

Democrats and liberal commentators have obsessively leveled two charges against Trump that they say justify impeachment: “collusion” with Russia and obstruction of justice. Cohen weakened the Democrats’ case for both.

“Stunning Revelations Raise Alarm for the Russia Probe” blared the CNN headline in January. This was following on BuzzFeed’s bombshell report that “President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.”

Cohen defused that bombshell in his testimony before the House Oversight Committee. “Mr. Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress,” Cohen said. It was typical of the entire Mueller and Russia investigation: Leaks to liberal outlets tell a salacious story and then testimony under oath undermines it.

Yet, Cohen’s testimony on this matter didn’t exactly make Trump look good.

“In conversations we had during the campaign,” Cohen said, “at the same time I was actively negotiating in Russia for him, he would look me in the eye and tell me there’s no business in Russia and then go out and lie to the American people by saying the same thing. In his way, he was telling me to lie.”

This account jibes with what we know about Trump and the ease with which the president says obviously false things. But it’s also not obstruction of justice.

On the collusion front, Cohen’s testimony was similarly exculpating.

The Russia investigation has roots in a salacious Democrat-funded opposition research memo by operative Christopher Steele. Although the memo was discredited long ago, the liberal media has held onto it as an old man holds onto a long-dead dream. That’s why journalist Twitter was begging congressmen on Wednesday to ask Michael Cohen if he’s ever been to Prague — the alleged Cohen-to-Prague trip is a tent pole in Steele’s collusion narrative.

Cohen testified he’s never been to Prague. So much for the memo.

Cohen’s testimony also went right at the heart of the collusion charge. Cohen says Trump knew about plans to publish Russia-hacked emails from Hillary Clinton’s orbit. That could hint at some kind of collusion with Russia. But what exactly was Trump’s involvement?

[No evidence of Trump colluded with Russia, Cohen says]

Cohen testified that Roger Stone told Trump, “Mr. Trump, I just want to let you know I just got off the phone with Julian Assange, and in a couple days, there’s going to be a massive dump of emails that is going to severely hurt the Clinton campaign.”

In other words, Trump was vaguely informed about emails that had been stolen by someone else. That’s not “collusion” by any definition of which we are aware. The source of the information was not necessarily reliable either, and so it’s hard to argue that Trump had any duty to report to the authorities.

It would be foolish to take Cohen’s testimony as gospel. He is a liar. We hope, however, that the Republicans who made this point throughout the hearing realize that this also reflects poorly on the president. Why did Trump surround himself with the likes of Cohen, Stone, and Paul Manafort? Probably because their lack of scruples made them the “killers” he thought he needed in business and in politics.

Cohen’s testimony about Trump consistently painted a picture of a morally impoverished man. But that was merely adding detail to the picture America had of Trump in November 2016 when it elected him president. The question at hand is whether Trump did anything illegal or impeachable. On that front, Cohen also added nothing new.

Israel’s Attorney General Moves To Indict Netanyahu On Corruption Charges – NPR

Israel’s attorney general says he is taking steps to indict Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shown here earlier this month, on corruption charges.

Sebastian Scheiner/AP

After months of anticipation, Israel’s attorney general has told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he is preparing to indict him on corruption charges.

It’s a major blow to the long-serving premier and Trump ally, though not a final decision on an indictment. Netanyahu will still have a chance to hold off any indictment during a court hearing. And in the meantime, he remains in office and seeks reelection in April.

If Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit decides to press charges, which expert expect he will do, it would be the first time a sitting prime minister in Israel has been indicted.

The announcement shakes up Israeli politics just six weeks before voters decide whether Netanyahu gets another term. He has been serving as prime minister for a decade.

Mandelblit has been studying three different corruption cases and has outlined them in a document over 50 pages long sent to Netanyahu’s lawyers, Israeli media reports. The details of the accusations are well-known. Israeli police recommended months ago that Netanyahu be indicted for all three sets of allegations.

First, he’s facing a possible breach of trust and fraud charges— for accepting cigars and champagne and expensive gifts from wealthy businessmen, including Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan.

Second, he’s facing more possible breach of trust and fraud charges charge — for trying to strike a deal with a newspaper publisher to advance legislation to help the publisher’s business, in exchange for giving Netanyahu positive media coverage. The deal never went through.

The final case is the most serious one because the charges the attorney general is considering include bribery. Netanyahu allegedly approved a lucrative company merger for a telecoms businessman, and in exchange the businessman’s news website gave Netanyahu favorable coverage.

Though Netanyahu will receive a hearing prior to a formal indictment, the authority will remain with the attorney general to decide. A final indictment could take a year or more. The hearing date has not yet been made public.

Netanyahu has called the bribery charge “absurd.” He’s decried the probe as interference in the upcoming Israeli elections, and described the accusations as a “house of cards.”

He’s accused Mandelblit of caving to pressure from the left and the left-wing media to rush to announce charges before the elections. The embattled prime minister is expected to address the Israeli public on Thursday evening.

This saga has divided voters. A recent poll from Haifa University shows about half of the public doesn’t have much trust in the attorney general. At the same time, another poll from the Israeli television show Meet the Press said that 64 percent of Israelis wanted Mandelblit to announce his decision prior to the election, Haaretz reported.

The Justice Ministry said in a statement that “the Attorney General has reached his decision after thoroughly examining the evidence collected during the investigations conducted by the Israel Police and the Israel Securities Authority, and after considering the detailed opinions provided by the State Attorney’s Office. Furthermore, the Attorney General has conducted a series of lengthy discussions with senior members of the State Attorney’s Office and the Office of the Attorney General.”

Netanyahu has signaled that if indicted, he would remain in office and fight in court.

The non-partisan Israel Democracy Institute called on Netanyahu to “carefully consider” what’s best for Israel.

“Is it best for the country to be governed by a leader charged with serious criminal acts of corruption, or is it best for him to resign and focus on proving his innocence in the courts?” the institute said in a statement.

It warned about the “serious potential damage to the public’s trust in the state’s institutions caused by a situation in which the government is headed by an individual charged with criminal misconduct involving abuse of power.”

In the upcoming vote, his base will still likely support him — indeed, in a Haifa University survey, 65 percent of his party’s supporters said they believe law enforcement is trying to force Netanyahu out. That party, Likud, said Thursday that this announcement represented a “political witch hunt” aiming at toppling Netanyahu’s government.

Other voters, though, may question his ability to lead the country amid an uncertain political future as he faces these charges.

Netanyahu has been the front-runner in the upcoming elections, but if his poll numbers slip — even slightly — it could tip the scales. He would need to build a governing coalition with other parties in order to stay in power, and with likely criminal charges hanging over his head, it’s unclear if other parties will be willing to stay by his side.

There’s also a new centrist list led by a former army general – who is strong in the polls and who could win instead.

If India and Pakistan have a ‘limited’ nuclear war, scientists say it could wreck Earth’s climate and trigger global famine – Business Insider

Deadly tensions between India and Pakistan are boiling over in Kashmir, a disputed territory at the northern border of each country.

A regional conflict is worrisome enough, but climate scientists warn that if either country launches just a portion of its nuclear weapons, the situation might escalate into a global environmental and humanitarian catastrophe.

On February 14, a suicide bomber killed at least 40 Indian troops in a convoy traveling through Kashmir. A militant group based in Pakistan called Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack. India responded by launching airstrikes against its neighbor — the first in roughly 50 years — and Pakistan has said it shot down two Indian fighter jets and captured one of the pilots.

Both countries possess about 140 to 150 nuclear weapons. Though nuclear conflict is unlikely, Pakistani leaders have said their military is preparing for “all eventualities.” The country has also assembled its group responsible for making decisions on nuclear strikes.

“This is the premier nuclear flashpoint in the world,” Ben Rhodes, a political commentator, said on Wednesday’s episode of the “Pod Save the World” podcast.

For that reason, climate scientists have modeled how an exchange of nuclear weapons between the two countries — what is technically called a limited regional nuclear war — might affect the world.

Though the explosions would be local, the ramifications would be global, that research concluded. The ozone layer could be crippled and Earth’s climate may cool for years, triggering crop and fishery losses that would result in what the researchers called a “global nuclear famine.”

“The danger of nuclear winter has been under-understood — poorly understood — by both policymakers and the public,” Michael Mills, a researcher at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, told Business Insider. “It has reached a point where we found that nuclear weapons are largely unusable because of the global impacts.”

When a nuclear weapon explodes, its effects extend beyond the structure-toppling blast wave, blinding fireball, and mushroom cloud. Nuclear detonations close to the ground, for example, can spread radioactive debris called fallout for hundreds of miles.

But the most frightening effect is intense heat that can ignite structures for miles around. Those fires, if they occur in industrial areas or densely populated cities, can lead to a frightening phenomenon called a firestorm.

“These firestorms release many times the energy stored in nuclear weapons themselves,” Mills said. “They basically create their own weather and pull things into them, burning all of it.”

Mills helped model the outcome of an India-Pakistan nuclear war in a 2014 study. In that scenario, each country exchanges 50 weapons, less than half of its arsenal. Each of those weapons is capable of triggering a Hiroshima-size explosion, or about 15 kilotons’ worth of TNT.

The model suggested those explosions would release about 5 million tons of smoke into the air, triggering a decades-long nuclear winter.

The effects of this nuclear conflict would eliminate 20% to 50% of the ozone layer over populated areas. Surface temperatures would become colder than they’ve been for at least 1,000 years.

The bombs in the researchers’ scenario are about as powerful as the Little Boy nuclear weapon dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, enough to devastate a city. But that’s far weaker than many weapons that exist today. The latest device North Korea tested was estimated to be about 10 times as powerful as Little Boy. The US and Russia each possess weapons 1,000 times as powerful.

Still, the number of weapons used is more important than strength, according to the calculations in this study.

How firestorms would wreck the climate

Most of the smoke in the scenario the researchers considered would come from firestorms that would tear through buildings, vehicles, fuel depots, vegetation, and more. This smoke would rise through the troposphere (the atmospheric zone closest to the ground), and particles would then be deposited in a higher layer called the stratosphere. From there, tiny black-carbon aerosols could spread around the globe.

“The lifetime of a smoke particle in the stratosphere is about five years. In the troposphere, the lifetime is one week,” Alan Robock, a climate scientist at Rutgers University who worked on the study, told Business Insider. “So in the stratosphere, the lifetime of smoke particles is much longer, which gives it 250 times the impact.”

The fine soot would cause the stratosphere, normally below freezing, to be dozens of degrees warmer than usual for five years. It would take two decades for conditions to return to normal.

This would cause ozone loss “on a scale never observed,” the study said. That ozone damage would consequently allow harmful amounts of ultraviolet radiation from the sun to reach the ground, hurting crops and humans, harming ocean plankton, and affecting vulnerable species all over the planet.

But it gets worse: Earth’s ecosystems would also be threatened by suddenly colder temperatures.

The fine black soot in the stratosphere would prevent some sun from reaching the ground. The researchers calculated that average temperatures around the world would drop by about 1.5 degrees Celsius over the five years following the nuclear blasts.

In populated areas of North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, changes could be more extreme (as illustrated in the graphic above). Winters there would be about 2.5 degrees colder and summers between 1 and 4 degrees colder, reducing critical growing seasons by 10 to 40 days. Expanded sea ice would also prolong the cooling process, since ice reflects sunlight away.

“It’d be cold and dark and dry on the ground, and that’d affect plants,” Robock said. “This is something everybody should be concerned about because of the potential global effects.”

The change in ocean temperatures could devastate sea life and fisheries that much of the world relies on for food. Such sudden blows to the food supply and the “ensuing panic” could cause “a global nuclear famine,” according to the study’s authors.

Temperatures wouldn’t return to normal for more than 25 years.

The effects might be much worse than previously thought

Robock is working on new models of nuclear-winter scenarios; his team was awarded a nearly $3 million grant from the Open Philanthropy Project to do so.

“You’d think the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies would fund this research, but they didn’t and had no interest,” he said.

Since his earlier modeling work, Robock said, the potential effects of a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan have gotten worse. That’s because India and Pakistan now have more nuclear weapons, and their cities have grown.

“It could be about five times worse than what we’ve previously calculated,” he said.

Because of his intimate knowledge of the potential consequences, Robock advocates the reduction of nuclear arsenals around the world. He said he thinks Russia and the US — which has nearly 7,000 nuclear weapons — are in a unique position to lead the way.

“Why don’t the US and Russia each get down to 200? That’s a first step,” Robock said.

“If President Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize, he should get rid of land-based missiles, which are on hair-trigger alert, because we don’t need them,” he added. “That’s how he’ll get a peace prize — not by saying we have more than anyone else.”

New ‘Medicare-for-all’ bill would largely outlaw private insurance – Fox News

Video

Progressive Democrats push ‘Medicare for all’ platform

Critics say to provide Medicare for all, taxes would have to go up while quality, choice and access to care would go down; chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reports.

House Democrats on Wednesday unveiled their latest “Medicare-for-all” bill — a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system that would largely outlaw private insurance as part of what critics call a one-size-fits-all government takeover.

The bill was introduced by Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., and is co-sponsored by more than 100 House Democrats including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., showing the extent to which the policy has drifted from the fringe of the party to the mainstream.

BERNIE SANDERS SAYS ‘NO’ TO AMERICANS WHO WANT TO KEEP PRIVATE INSURANCE UNDER ‘MEDICARE-FOR-ALL’

It would move America to a virtual single-payer system, like systems used in the U.K. and Canada, and promises to “prevent healthcare corporations from overcharging for the costs of their services and profiting off illness and injury.”

“It’s time to put people’s health over profit. Our bill will cover everyone. Not just those who are fortunate enough to have employer-sponsored insurance,” Jayapal said in a statement. “Not just children. Not just seniors. Not just those who are healthy. Everyone. Because healthcare is a human right. We will need every single person in the country to help us, to stand with us, to organize and to fight for this.”

“Everybody in, nobody out,” Jayapal said at a press conference, according to The Guardian, where she hailed the bill as a “complete transformation of our healthcare system.”

The legislation, though, revives a controversy over what such a health care overhaul would mean for private insurance. Under the new proposal, private insurance plans could only be used to supplement coverage that is offered by the government, “for any additional benefits not covered by this Act.”

But the text of the proposal makes clear that private policies would largely be eliminated. One clause in the bill makes it “unlawful” for a private health insurer “to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act.” The text also prohibits employers from doing the same.

America’s Health Insurance Plans, an advocacy group for the private health insurance industry, said the vast majority of Americans are happy with their coverage as it is.

“Americans want to improve what’s working for them and fix what’s broken. This bill will hurt patients, consumers, and taxpayers: Americans will pay more, to wait longer, for worse care,” spokeswoman Kristine Grow told Fox News in an email. “Let’s focus on real solutions that deliver real results, not a one-size-fits-all government system.”

Republicans immediately painted the plan as “disastrous,” pointing to studies that suggest the price tag could be as high as $32 trillion.

“Medicare for all will eliminate private insurance, make trips to the DMV look like a Caribbean vacation and cost taxpayers trillions. Good luck to the vulnerable House Democrats who will be forced to defend this $32 trillion boondoggle,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Michael McAdams said in a statement.

The legislation was quiet on the question of price. According to Politico, Jayapal said she plans to release a separate list of suggested funding mechanisms — which include additional taxes or mandated employer contributions.

According to a fact sheet from Dingell’s office, the transition to Medicare-for-all would take two years. The coverage would include all primary care, dental, vision, maternity and newborn care, prescription drugs, mental health services and others. It would also cover “women’s reproductive health services.” The plan would appear to leave little that could be covered by private insurers.

The move marks a radical shift from former President Barack Obama’s original pitch for ObamaCare — where he falsely promised: “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” That statement was eventually labeled “lie of the year” by Politifact.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has not co-sponsored the bill, but has indicated she would allow hearings on the bill in an apparent nod to the party’s left flank. The legislation would almost certainly be dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate.

But the legislation appears to mark part of a broader shift by Democrats, with a number of 2020 presidential hopefuls coming out in favor of Medicare-for-all plans, and some putting their support behind abolishing private health plans.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., was asked by CNN host Jake Tapper in January if people could keep their current health care plan under her Medicare-for-all plan. She indicated that they couldn’t, suggesting she wants to move toward a single-payer system rather than a mere expansion of Medicare.

KAMALA HARRIS UNDER FIRE AFTER CALLING FOR ABOLITION OF PRIVATE HEALTH CARE PLANS: ‘THAT NOT AMERICAN’

“Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care. And you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require,” Harris told Tapper.

“Who among us has not had that situation?” she continued. “Where you got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, ‘Well I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this.’ Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”

On Monday, fellow 2020 hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was asked on CNN if, under his plan, people could keep their private plans.

“No,” Sanders responded mid-question as he shook his head. “What will change in their plans is the color of their card. So, instead of having a Blue Cross/Blue Shield card, instead of having a United Health Insurance card, they’re gonna have a Medicare card.”
