North Korea Blasts ‘Dotard’ Trump For 'Wicked' Decision

KimJongUn
North Korea blasted President Donald Trump on Saturday for his “reckless, wicked act” of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and called him a “dotard” anew.
"Considering the fact that the mentally deranged dotard openly called for a total destruction of a sovereign state at the UN, this action is not so surprising," said a foreign ministry spokesman according to the state-run KCNA news agency.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in September first called Trump a “dotard,” which Merriam-Webster defines as “a person in his or her dotage,” with dotage meaning, “a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness.”
The spokesman said that the move by Trump "clearly shows to the whole world who is the destroyer of world peace and security, pariah and rogue in the international community.”
North Korea stated it “strongly condemns” Trump’s announcement last Wednesday and his decision to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which angered Muslims around the world.
"The US will be held accountable for all consequences from this reckless, wicked act,” the spokesman said.
North Korea also expressed "firm support and solidarity for Palestinians and Arab peoples struggling to win their legitimate rights." The statement demonstrates North Korea’s allegiance to countries that despise Israel including Iran, which in the past has collaborated with the North on missile development.
Iran called on countries around the world to defy Israel’s claim to Jerusalem, which has religious significance for Jews, Christians and Muslims and has been claimed by Israelis and Palestinians. Arab and Muslim countries faced "a historical and decisive test,” the Iranian military's chief of staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri said on Thursday.
Trump on Saturday afternoon had not fired back at North Korea’s latest fighting words.
But last month, Trump called Kim “short and fat” and has dubbed him “rocket man.” In August, Trump threatened to unleash “fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.”
Tensions between the U.S. and North Korea have elevated since the latter on November 29 tested a missile test that was reportedly capable of reaching the U.S. The U.S. conducted large-scale, joint military drills with South Korea around the Korean Peninsula through last Friday, an exercise that the Pyongyang considered a “grave provocation” that put the region on the “brink” of nuclear warfare.
U.S. officials worry that Trump’s combative rhetoric could spark a war with North Korea.

Canada debates new harassment legislation amid #MeToo storm

We can afford to do more for people who need it by doing less for people who don’t: Trudeau’s message (Photo Source: Reuters) Canada’s parliament began debate on Monday on new legislation to tighten workplace harassment rules, including those governing politicians, as allegations of sexual misconduct mounted against lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum. The bill, introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in November, gained a new prominence after a federal cabinet minister and two provincial party leaders stepped down last week after being accused of inappropriate behavior. While the proposed law will govern all federal workplaces, including private businesses, the environment among political staffers in Ottawa was in focus as the #MeToo social media movement gained momentum in Canada. “It clearly is a crisis in this workplace,” Employment Minister Patty Hajdu told reporters outside the House of Commons. “We talk a lot about getting wom...

Trump administration drops Obama-era easing of marijuana prosecutions

The US Justice Department on Thursday rescinded an Obama administration policy that had eased enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that legalized the drug, instead giving federal prosecutors wide latitude to pursue criminal charges. The action by Attorney General Jeff Sessions could have damaging consequences for the burgeoning marijuana industry in the six states including California and Colorado that have legalized the drug for recreational use, plus dozens of others that permit medicinal use. Justice Department officials declined to say whether they might take legal action against those states, saying further steps were “still under consideration.” Federal law still prohibits marijuana even as some states move to legalize it. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump’s top priority was enforcing federal law “whether it’s marijuana or immigration.” The policy change, detailed by Sessions in a one-page memo to federal prosecutors nationwid...
