AND NOW FROM THE GROWN-UPS – AT 12:48 P.M. ET:  While CNN tries to whip us into hysteria in its drive to get President Trump tossed out of office, things are happening in the real world.  From AP: 

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Saturday the threat of nuclear missile attack by North Korea is accelerating.

In remarks in Seoul with South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo at his side, Mattis accused the North of illegal and unnecessary missile and nuclear programs — and vowed to defeat any attack.

Mattis said North Korea engages in “outlaw” behavior and that the U.S. will never accept a nuclear North.

He added that regardless of what the North might try, it is overmatched by the firepower and cohesiveness of the decades-old U.S.-South Korean alliance.

COMMENT:  Pretty serious stuff.  Don't expect much reporting on it in the MSM.  There are more important things to do. 

Actually, we haven't seen a North Korean nuclear test or missile launch for a time.  Is American pressure, under Trump, working?  We certainly hope so.

The president is about to travel to Asia.  His trip has been well prepared by his defense people.  We have three carrier groups in the region.  The message is sent.
