North Korea tests a third missile and yet again it fails

Maybe they should invest more on feeding their starving population rather than investing money in 1950s technology trying to impress the United States, Russia and China with these worthless missile tests that they claim has the capability to carry a 15 kg ton nuclear warhead.

I one of the many that says that the North Korean regime is doing this to get attention and most of all to get those food supplies that it urgently needs as 89% of its population right now is on the verge of starving to death.

What many don’t know is that dictator Kim Jong-un the overfed 33-year-old has a banquet for dinner every evening, while people surrounding him are virtually starving. He is the only one in his country that has a running Internet server, he is the only one in his country that can access the Internet, he is the only one in this country that has a storage pantry full of food and a refrigerator full of cold beer.

Said that, to project, build and launch these flimsy missiles, the United States government claims that it costs North Korea roughly $450,000 per day to keep this project running and has been spending this amount roughly for the past 13 years. $450,000 of rice would be the equivalent to feed 900,000 people a day.

We all thought that his father Kim Jong-il was one that would waste money, if we all remember he had a bowling alley built inside his palace, a movie theater and an ice-skating ring and even a 16 door garage in order for him to park all his vehicles under a roof.

We were wrong apparently his son is spending up to 12 times more than his father up to $80 million a year in luxuries for himself, himself and himself and no one else.

7.4 earthquake just reported in shallow waters out in the sea just off Japan.

While I was taking a coffee break I was watching CNN and just moments ago they said that there was a massive earthquake a few hundred miles off the shore of Japan and there is now a tsunami warning for over 290 miles of coastline. This of course not even 36 hours after the first earthquake that cost the lives of over 150 innocent people.

Obviously my heart is with them at this time and my prayers go out that the tsunami warning will soon called off, even if experts over at CNN right now claim that the possibility of a tsunami is extremely high.

For all my readers and followers from Japan, I know for a fact that you are many, please take every single and minimal precautions to keep yourself and your family safe during these tragic moments that your country and your people are suffering.

Apparently you can get fired for many things when working for law enforcement…

I was reading the New York daily news this morning while my wife was kindly taking me to work, and of course there is the usual war bulletin John Kerry makes a surprise visit in Iraq, Syrians and ISIS bombing one another, refugees fighting the police in Greece and Turkey, but I stepped on an article that left me quite perplexed.

An Indiana state trooper was fired this week because he has everyone that he had pulled over to give a ticket if they had been saved by Jesus. Based on their response the ticket was given or not, I really didn’t find this funny, because we have somebody out there that is representing the law and based on religious beliefs he’s going to give you a citation or not.

So in my personal opinion I do believe he should be fired and maybe he should take on being a preacher or a pastor, and I’m not saying this in a sarcastic way, I truly mean, I don’t care what religion you are I do respect your religion, and I have made that very clear numerous times in my brief articles and blog posts not only here but also on other resources around the web. But there should be no religious interference when it comes down to traffic violations and enforcement.

That’s the way I think about it, I’m sure there are many of my readers and friends out there believe he should have not been fired and of course I respect your opinion in full. if you want to continue the discussion with me and all my followers, feel free to check out my Thomas F Chang G+ account, request a friendship, and it doesn’t matter what color your skin is what religious beliefs you may have or where ever you are located around the world, everybody is my friend and you will more than welcome to join in the discussion

Another attack on innocent civilians

It seems that ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks at the airport and subway and yet again they have proven that they have no dignity attacking and slaughtering civilians.

I hate to poke my nose in other peoples business, but didn’t they see it coming this time? They arrested the brain of all operations, he basically gave out the attack code once captured and the Belgium intelligence agency didn’t see this?

My prayers and thoughts go out to all the victims and their families, in the hopes that something like this wont happen again, that they can actually prevent the attacks in the future.

Tragic news that I read early this morning on the Los Angeles times

We all know that here in is in town a new building the tallest skyscraper in the country, unfortunately already three people have lost their lives in the efforts to build this amazing piece of architecture. The third unfortunately died yesterday afternoon, an electrician at his second day working for the company. He was walking on an outside grid on the 50th floor where apparently witnesses said he slipped and plunged to his death landing in a busy intersection on the street below.

Like said this is an amazing new building, every morning when I go to work I pass by it I remain electrified by its beauty, however how many lives more is it going to take, let’s hope that this was the third and last tragic death in this building.

The 106 year old that dances like a teen, meets the Obama’s

How about that! a 106-year-old Washington DC resident called Virginia McLaurin, finally got the chance to meet the president of the United States. Not only is she famous for her age, but most of all because she is very popular among the capital residence at the dancing granny, or in this case the great granny!

I watched the video aired by CNN yesterday afternoon saying she was absolutely hysterical and she seems to be extremely entertaining, but most of all very lively for her age.

It was very cool to see that the president and the first lady, posed for the photographers present White House and even gave the best of herself dancing for the commander-in-chief and his wife.

The tragedy of the collapsed Taiwan tower

I’m reading today on various news portals on the web but also on USA Today that I have in front of me on my computer desk that finally there have been arrests made regarding the connection in the construction of the collapsed Taiwanese apartment complex where dozens of people lost their lives in last week’s horrific earthquake.

However from what I’ve read this investigation is just at the beginning and we should see a lot more than just three arrests. It is a matter fact that Taiwan capital investigators are focusing on the engineering and the materials used to build this huge construction. To date we have seen photographs of pillars that were basically holding the side of the building filled with thousands of tin cans. Many experts speculate that these can we used to save on cement and they may have been used all over the complex to save millions of dollars in construction materials.

Of course my deepest sympathies go out to all those that have lost a dear one in this terrible tragedy, and let’s hope that everyone that had done wrong being in the construction of this building is held accountable and will pay a very expensive price for what they have done.
