Forget about it-- We are 'monitoring' N. Korea's missile claims

The United States is closely "monitoring" the outcome of North Korea's latest missile test especially since the crazy nation is claiming its newest rocket is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that could reach our shores.

A day after the chubby dictator's regime launched a successful test of the KN-17 missile, which flew about 435 miles toward Japan, the state-run "news" agency KCNA (aka "Kim Can Nuke Anyone") reported the "U.S. mainland and Pacific operations" were in range of their weaponry.

KCNA also claimed its missile was meant to verify the specifications of a new ballistic rocket "capable of carrying a large-size heavy nuclear warhead."

North Korea has yet to have a miniaturized warhead but it's a sure bet they're working on one.

"We are monitoring," a National Security Council official told Fox News.

According to Vinny Boombots, my source, the U.S. doesn't believe Pyongyang has the technology to mount a nuclear warhead yet, "But you can take it to the bank that we'll sit around doing nothing until they make the first big move," Vinny said. "Forget about it. We gotta do more than just freaking monitor those weasels if we don't want to end up like a huge crematorium." 

A senior White House official said the administration was carefully assessing the news coming out of North Korea. 

"Yeah, but you know how those North Koreans like to throw the bull and make it sound like theirs is bigger than ours, if you know what I'm sayin'," Vinny said. "If they ain't lyin', we're dyin' unless we get it into gear and hit 'em first."

Underscoring the gravity of the current situation, an official told Fox News that Pyongyang took a "step forward" with the current launch. 

Fox's Charles Krauthammer made a similar statement saying that even when North Korea fails in a ballistic missile test, they've still learned something and it takes them another step toward developing nuclear capability.

According to U.S. officials, the KN-17 flew four minutes longer than any previous ballistic missile test in their history. They cautioned that North Korea previously conducted space launches that have flown longer than the KN-17 and in February 2016 sent a satellite into orbit on Super Bowl Sunday, which, Vinny believes, was to "spy on Patriot plays that gave them an unbelievable win over the Falcons."

John Schilling, an aerospace maven, told Reuters the test "represents a level of performance never before seen from a North Korean missile."

"It appears to have not only demonstrated an intermediate-range ballistic missile that might enable them to reliably strike the U.S. base at Guam," Schilling said, "but more important, may represent a substantial advance to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile."

Vinny concurred.

How it adds up for the election so far

With just three weeks to the presidential election, Donald Trump is trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls, which makes the prediction easy that Trump will say the polls don't matter, the election's rigged and Hillary should be in jai.

As it stands, Hillary has a six-point lead over Donald, 45-39 percent, according to a useless poll of likely voters, a poll that doesn't matter to Trump because he's behind. Gary "Good Weed" Johnson stands at 5 percent and Green Party Jill "Spoiler" Stein is at 3 percent.

In a head-to-head matchup, Hillary is up at 49-42 percent, an edge that's slightly above the margin of error, but it still doesn't matter to Trump because as far as he's concerned, the election is rigged and there's absolutely no reason for any American to go out and vote. "Hillary's gonna win, folks. She's gonna win, I can tell you."

The third and final debate will be tomorrow on Fox News Channel and moderated by Chris Wallace. This is the first time Fox will be moderating a presidential debate because the media is rigged folks, that I can tell you. Believe me.

According to the polls, a large gender gap exists. Among men, Trump leads by 7 points and Clinton is ahead by 17 points among women. She also leads among non-whites, you know, those who the party of the KKK, Bull Connor, Robert Byrd and George Wallace have convinced will be better served by them. 

Hillary also leads among naive voters under 30 (+19). Johnson and Stein are supported by one in five, young, pot smoking socialists who have no knowledge of economics. College degree whites also favor Clinton by 9 points, but whites without a college degree but a chip on their shoulder favor Trump by 27 points. He's also favored by veterans by 17 points and religious people by 16 points. Hillary has the atheist vote cornered along with the seriously uninformed voter vote.   

Trump has a slight lead with independents at 7 points but only 80 percent of Republicans back him--the other 20 percent back Stephen Harper, the former conservative Prime Minister of Canada.

For both Trump and Clinton, supporters are about equally matched on strength of support and interest, but if Donald Trump doesn't try throwing in a few different words in his speeches, the strength of support and interest may fade. 

Believe me, folks.

Temperament is a different story. About 61 percent of voters say Clinton has the temperament to serve effectively as POTUS while 61 percent of voters say Trump does not. 

He plans to bomb the s**t out of those who say he does not.

Clinton leads Trump by voters who believe she has the judgment to serve (53-46 percent), while Trump is the opposite (37-60 percent) but the truth is, neither candidate will ever replace Judge Judy or Charles Krauthammer.

Many voters do not believe the media is being fair to the candidates. Fifty-one percent say the news coverage of Trump has been fair  (46 percent) or biased in his favor (5 percent), but 43 percent say it's been unfairly biased against him.

After further exploration, it seems more likely that Donald Trump has been biased against himself as some of the topics his ego refuses to let go of continue to hurt him.

Only 11 percent of voters believe Clinton has been treated unfairly by the media, and those voters would say the same thing if Hillary was caught on video having sex with a Girl Scout against her will.

Fifteen Questions for Obama and his Cronies

So many questions, so many scandals, so few answers. All we seem to get are lies or statements of ignorance. "I just learned about it the way you guys did--I saw it in the media." Yeah, sure.

Well here are some questions I dare them to answer.

1. How did the Obama administration get the information about Bergdahl's medical condition? If it was from that video, that was 6 months ago. When Bowe (pronounced Ahmad) got out of the truck and walked toward the Black Hawk helicopter, he didn't look to be in physical distress. I'm not a physician, but I suspect Obama et al were distancing themselves from the truth--in other words, they were lying.

Benghazi's E-Smoking Gun

When is a scandal, not a scandal? When the Obama administration is involved in it.

The scandal reappeared with the release of White House e-mails sent by Ben Rhodes to UN ambassador, Susan Rice, regarding her 5 appearances on the Sunday morning talk shows in which she blamed an anti-Islam video on the September 11, 2012 attack that killed 4 Americans in Benghazi. The Obama administration declared it was a non-scandal and old news, so let's forget about it, okay?

But the e-mails clearly show that the White House prepped Susie, yet Press Secretary, Jay Carney claimed the "prep call," as one e-mail put it, wasn't even about Benghazi. He said it was about demonstrations in the Muslim world, not including Benghazi. "It is not about Benghazi--it is about the protests around the Muslim world," the White House Press Liar said.

Cowardly Cuomo Gets His Lawyer to Walk it Back

New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, told pro-life, anti- gay marriage, and pro-assault weapons advocates they are not welcome in New York, ". . . because that's not who New Yorkers are." Evidently, he hasn't met New Yorkers like me, and I've been a New Yorker before he was born.

Cuomo's assertion angered Fox News' Sean Hannity enough that he threatened to leave New York: "Governor Cuomo, I'm going to leave and I'm taking all my money with me--every single solitary penny."
