North Korea Fires Hwasong-14 Missile, Takes Another Giant Step Towards Hitting The United States Mainland
North Korea has taken another bold step toward achieving its stated goal of being able to send a nuclear weapon to the U.S. mainland.
North Korea has taken another bold step toward achieving its stated goal of being able to send a nuclear weapon to the U.S. mainland, firing another intercontinental ballistic missile late Friday and highlighting the regime’s rapid technological progress.
The missile flew almost straight up for 45 minutes and reached a height of about 2,300 miles before crashing into the sea off Japan. But if it had been launched on a normal trajectory, the missile could theoretically have reached Denver and perhaps even Chicago, experts said.
This latest provocation compounds the problem facing the Trump administration and North Korea’s neighbors: how to stop the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un from making progress with its nuclear weapons program.
“Kim Jong Un does seem hell-bent on acquiring the capability to reach the United States with nuclear weapons,” said Sharon Squassoni, director of the Proliferation Prevention Program at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). “Although some experts judge this means he will never negotiate, it could also mean that he’s looking for the capability that forces the United States to the table.”
Pentagon confirms North Korea missile launch:
The Pentagon and South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff both said they had detected the launch, which occurred Friday at about 11:11 p.m. North Korea time(10:41 a.m. Eastern time). The late-night launch was unusual, as North Korea usually fires missiles soon after dawn.
“We assess that this missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile, as had been expected,” said Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman.
However, the North American Aerospace Defense Command “determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America,” Davis said.
American officials assessed that the missile flew on a “lofted” trajectory to reach an apogee of 2,300 miles, before landing about 620 miles from its launch site in Chagang province in northwestern North Korea, near the border with China.
The missile landed within Japan’s exclusive economic zone off the coast of the northern island of Hokkaido, chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference convened early Saturday at 1 a.m. Tokyo time.
US detects N. Korea missile launch:
“We cannot tolerate North Korea’s repeated provocations like this,” Suga said. “We have made a strong protest to North Korea and condemned this act in the strongest terms.”
A launch this week — the anniversary of the end of the 1950-1953 Korean War was marked on Thursday — had been anticipated. Not only has Kim Jong Un repeatedly said he wants a nuclear-tipped missile that can reach the United States, but U.S. intelligence agencies in recent days had spotted preparations for another test.
North Korea on Wednesday threatened to launch a preemptive nuclear strike against the United States.
“If enemies misunderstand our strategic status and stick to options of staging a preemptive nuclear attack against us, we will launch a nuclear attack on America’s heart as the most relentless punishment without warning or prior notice,” Pak Yong Sik, North Korea’s defense minister, said at a ceremony to mark the conclusion of the Korean War, which ended in an armistice but which Pyongyang claims it won. The occasion is celebrated annually in North Korea as the “Day of Victory in the Great Fatherland Liberation War.”
The test comes barely three weeks after North Korea fired its first missile technically capable of reaching the United States, launched as July 4 dawned in Asia.
That missile, which North Korea called the Hwasong-14 (or Mars-14), was fired from Panghyon, a northwestern part of the country not far from the Chinese border, and flew to an altitude of 1,741 miles — seven times as high as the International Space Station. It landed 577 miles from its launch site, splashing down in the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
If fired on a trajectory designed to maximize its range, rather than a “lofted” flight path, the missile could have flown 4,970 miles, according to the missile defense project at CSIS. That would put Hawaii and Alaska within reach.
But analysts at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in California have suggested that the missile was capable of reaching New York City.
Jeffrey Lewis, head of the East Asia program at CNS, said that this latest test would have been designed to demonstrate that North Korea could hit more of the mainland United States.
“My guess is that they want to show more range,” Lewis said, adding that North Korea was essentially calling the Pentagon’s bluff. “We basically dared them to do this. We said, ‘It’s not really an ICBM until it can hit Alaska,’ and they’re, like, ‘okay.’”
The Kim regime has been testing missiles — and making observable technical progress — at a pace that has alarmed analysts and officials alike. Friday’s firing becomes the 14th ballistic missile launch this year alone, and the 10th that can be deemed a success, according to CNS researchers.
The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency has shaved two full years off the consensus forecast for North Korea’s ICBM program, now estimating that North Korea will be able to field a reliable, nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile as early as next year.
The aggressive testing schedule has already allowed North Korea to validate its basic designs, putting it within a few months of starting industrial production, the officials said.
The July 4 test, which violated United Nations resolutions against North Korea, was met with the usual rounds of international condemnation, but the world has not found a way to persuade North Korea to stop.
The United States has been leading the charge for more and more sanctions against North Korea, but Russia and China — both veto-wielding permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — have been reluctant to impose painful measures and are instead calling for a “de-escalation plan” to deal with Pyongyang.
The Trump administration needs to focus on diplomacy as well as sanctions, said Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association.
“A deployed North Korean ICBM is not inevitable, but it will be if policymakers in Washington keep putting the cart before the horse and demanding Pyongyang meet onerous preconditions to begin talks,” she said.
The Trump administration, like the Obama administration before it, has said that North Korea must agree to freeze its weapons program before talks can begin.
“Washington’s diplomacy deficit is further compounded by the dangerous illusion that sanctions alone will push North Korea to negotiate,” Davenport said, “when the Trump administration and Congress should be focused on signaling support for talks without conditions.” source

Longtime Trump Friend Ghislaine Maxwell To Speak With Justice Department Officials Today Where Many Are Saying She Will ‘Spill The Beans’ For A Plea Deal
Ghislaine Maxwell will attempt to make a deal with the Trump administration when government officials visit her in prison to speak about the Epstein files
One story that I am surprised that no one seems to be pursuing is the possibility that Donald Trump met his wife Melania through Jeffrey Epstein, as many of Epstein’s sex trafficking victims came from Eastern European countries like where Melania is also from. In photos at least, Melania seems super comfortable around Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, but I’m sure that’s just a wild coincidence. Speaking of Ghislaine Maxwell, she is scheduled to testify today before Justice Department officials today and to expected to ‘cut a deal’. That’s the memo.
“And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.” Acts 23:13 (KJB)
Just what type of deal would Ghislaine be interested in cutting? I suppose one that might dramatically lessen her prison sentence, and by all accounts, she is ready to sing like a canary. The only question is, will she tell the truth as it exists, or the ‘truth’ to get out of prison? Donald Trump right now needs more a little help to make the Epstein files mess go away, and Ghislaine just might be able to provide that help. At a cost. Will we ever know the truth about the Epstein files? Hard to say, but with all the amazing effort on both the parts of the Democrats and Republicans to make this all go away, that doesn’t seem likely.
Epstein lawyer: Maxwell will try to make a deal with Trump
FROM THE TELEGRAPH UK: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced he would meet the convicted sex offender in the “coming days” to find out if she has information about anyone who participated in Epstein’s sex crimes.
“She’s going to make a deal” with the Department of Justice (DoJ), Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law professor who previously represented Epstein, said. “That’s the way things are done. They make deals with the Mafia, so I’m certain they are going to try to make a deal with her,” he told The New York Post.
Jeffrey Epstein was asked if he ‘ever engaged in any activities involving underage girls with Donald Trump’, and he invoked not only the 5th Amendment, but the 6th and 14th also. The DOJ said Trump is in the Epstein files. Easy to see why he has no interest in releasing them. pic.twitter.com/XdkfBDL9F7
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 24, 2025
Maxwell was subpoenaed by the House oversight committee on Wednesday to give a deposition from prison on August 11.
“The facts and circumstances surrounding both your and Mr Epstein’s cases have received immense public interest and scrutiny,” James Comer, chairman of the committee, wrote to Maxwell.
Mr Comer said the committee is seeking her testimony “to inform the consideration of potential legislative solutions to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations”.
President Donald Trump continues to battle the biggest challenge of his presidency, the fallout from his refusal to release all the information the US government has on Epstein. READ MORE

Harvard Scientists Says That Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Be An Intelligentially-Directed Alien Space Probe Sent To Observe The Earth
The newly discovered Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS zooming through our solar system has been identified as a comet — but two Harvard scientists argue there is reason to believe it’s really an alien probe.
In case you haven’t noticed, the normal, everyday world that we now live in just a few years ago was considered to be science fiction in the realm of conspiracy theory, and yet, here we are. For over 50 years, any talk of UFOs and space aliens was immediately dismissed as crackpot news. Now there are multiple Federal agencies dedicated to making contact with extraterrestrials. Over at Harvard, two well-respected scientists says that newly-discovered ‘comet’ 3I/ATLAS is actually an intelligentially-guided alien observation craft. That’s the memo.
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12:3 (KJB)
You can bet your bottom dollar that visitors are indeed set to arrive from Outer Space, and in fact, may already be here. And no, we are not looking for ‘little green creatures’ flying around in a tin can, we are looking for fallen angels that present as men, the very same men talked about in Genesis 6. Now maybe you don’t believe that, maybe it’s a little too wild for you, but we who believe The Book not only believe it but are anticipating it to happen maybe even before the Rapture of the Church. For in such an hour as you think not, there it is.
Rare interstellar object the size of Manhattan could be an alien probe: Harvard scientists
FROM THE NY POST: NASA discovered 31/ATLAS on July 1, speeding through the inner solar system at 140,000 miles per hour according to observations from the ATLAS telescope in Chile — with experts clueless as to where it originated. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggested in a new paper that the object — only the third interstellar object ever detected — could be an intelligently directed alien craft observing Earth with possibly hostile intentions.
“The hypothesis in question is that 31/ATLAS is a technological artifact, and furthermore has active intelligence. If this is the case, then two possibilities follow,” Dr. Loeb, Adam Drowl, and Adam Hibberd, wrote in a paper published on July 17.
“First, that its intentions are entirely benign and second, they are malign,” the experts opined, suggesting ETs. The paper presented several anomalous characteristics of the object, which could indicate that it is not a comet at all but instead a directed craft.
One of the “most puzzling” observations is that the object has “significant ‘non-gravitational’ acceleration whilst having now “cometary outgassing.”
Loeb writes that 31/ATLAS “approaches surprisingly close to Venus, Mars and Jupiter with a probability of <0.005%,” the paper claimed. 31/ATLAS’s “low retrograde tilt” would seemingly allow it to “access our planet with relative impunity.” The retrograde tilt “means attempts by humanity to intercept it, or even more difficult, rendezvous with it, are extremely challenging,” while the route simultaneously gives 31/ATLAS easy access to “certain key target planets,” the paper hypothesized.
Loeb further suggests that the tilt and pathway would allow the intelligent life on the object to gather “astrometric measurements, to determine the orbits and masses of the Solar System planets, allowing it to prepare an optimal approach strategy to the Solar System.” READ MORE
It’s not a comet, 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar object observing Earth by aliens
On July 1, astronomers spotted an unusual high-speed object zooming towards the Sun. Dubbed 3I/ATLAS, the surprising space traveler had one very special quality: its orbit showed it had come from outside our Solar System. For only the third time ever, we had discovered a true interstellar visitor. And it was weird.
