NORTH Korea warned of "nuke for nuke, all-out confrontation" today in a chilling escalation of tensions with the West. Kim Jong-un 's regime said war games by the US and South Korea pushed it to an "extreme red line" and threatened to retaliate with "overwhelming nuclear force". Fears are already high after North Korea test-fired dozens of missiles, including long-range rockets designed to carry nuclear warheads as far as the US mainland. Earlier this week US defence secretary Lloyd Austin visited Seoul and promised to deploy more advanced military tech. He said fighter jets and aircraft carriers would strengthen joint training with South Korea. And yesterday American B-1B nuclear bombers and stealth fighters - US F-22s and Korean F-35s - staged a show of force over the Yellow Sea. read more on north korea BLOODY RULE North Korea 'EXECUTES' ex-minister as Kim ‘purges way for sis to succeed him’ HOUSE OF KIM … [Read more...] about Kim Jong-un warns West faces ‘all-out nuke-for-nuke confrontation’ as US war drills push tensions to ‘EXTREME red line’

ANAHEIM — California Republicans may not have well-known candidates running for governor — or any candidate of note running for Senate next year. But they’re settling on a two-point game plan for trying to return to relevance in a state where they’re a super-minority in the Legislature, have no statewide officeholders and can count only 1 in 4 registered voters as being a fellow Republican. Step 1: Lure voters to the polls with a statewide ballot measure next year with a populist call to rescind the gasoline tax intended to pay for the $50 billion in transportation improvements the Legislature passed in June. Step 2: Convince voters that Democrats have overplayed their progressive ruling hand with moves like declaring California a sanctuary state —and then blame the majority party for how roughly 1 in 5 Californians lives in poverty. Jim Brulte, the state GOP chairman, said it’s not going to be enough for Democrats to just be against President Trump, noting a July Washington … [Read more...] about California GOP has a plan for beating Democrats, if it can unite

President Aleksandar Vucic faced a hostile reception from the right-wing opposition, which urged parliament to reject the plan and accused him of betraying Serbia.
