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
Emmanuel Macron
IT’S ON! Emmanuel Macron Files A Lawsuit Against American Podcaster Candace Owens For Claiming His Wife Brigitte Is Actually A Man. Can She Prove It??
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte filed a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. on Wednesday against right-wing influencer Candace Owens, centered on her claim that France’s first lady is male.
It is not all that often that events that play out in the world of conspiracy theory intersect with events that play out in the ‘real world’ (whatever that is anymore) but, hold onto your hats, kiddies, this week we have not one but two intersecting events tantalizingly before us. The first one is that it’s looking like sitting president Donald Trump is going to have former president Barack Obama arrested on charges of ‘sedition and treason’. I will believe that when I see it. The second is that Emmanuel Macron is suing antisemitic podcast Candace Owens for her relentless claims that his wife Brigitte is really a man.
“I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.” 1 John 2:21 (KJB)
Alex Jones found out the hard way that the price that can be paid for telling lies in order to gain followers and revenue, as he did in the Sandy Hook scandal. Now French president Emmanuel Macron has decided that he has had enough of Candace Owens saying that his wife was ‘born a man’, and is going to make her prove it as revealed in court documents filed today in the state of Delaware. Candace Owens could have had a good career as a podcaster, instead she has chosen to wallow in the deepest mire by repeating and reporting stories that just aren’t true. Now we shall see, in a court of law, just how much she really believes what she says, and just how much of what she says she can prove. Speaking of Emmanuel Macron, someone please tell him that if he would like to sue us in a court of law for saying he is the biblical man of sin, we would love the chance to do that.
French president Macron sues influencer over claim France’s first lady was born male
FROM REUTERS: The Macrons said in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court that Owens has waged a lie-filled “campaign of global humiliation” and “relentless bullying” to promote her podcast and expand her “frenzied” fan base. The Macrons said the lies included that Brigitte Macron, 52, was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, the actual name of her older brother.
“Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications,” the complaint said. “It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust.”

Owens did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. Macron’s office declined comment. The 22-count complaint seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. Wednesday’s lawsuit is a rare case of a world leader suing for defamation. U.S. President Donald Trump has filed multiple defamation lawsuits, including against the publisher of The Wall Street Journal last week.
To prevail in U.S. defamation cases, public figures like the Macrons and Trump must show defendants engaged in “actual malice,” meaning they knew what they published was false or had reckless disregard for its truth. READ MORE

Bible Doctrine
Black Sabbath Singer Ozzy Osbourne Was Known As The ‘Prince Of Darkness’, Sang Incessantly About Satan, And Glorified Hell. But Was He Saved?
Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has died, is he now in Heaven or in Hell? Your King James Bible has the answer
Heavy metal god Ozzy Osbourne died the other day, and a flood of tributes have been posted online in his memory, many of them from Christian pastors who were huge fans. One pastor in particular, Tullian Tchividjian whom I have never heard of, had this to say about the Black Sabbath singer. “Oh Ozzy… you wild, beautiful soul. You gave misfits like me a soundtrack for our lives. Beneath the madness was a tender heart that understood pain, and sang it loud. Crazy, Iron Man you—thank you for the honesty, the chaos, the comfort. Rest now, brother. Grace has the final word. Love, Tullian.” There it is, Ozzy Osbourne safe at home in Heaven. Is that possible? Let’s take a look and see.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.” Ephesians 5:11,12 (KJB)
First of all, let me just say, I do not wish Hell on anyone, not even on Adolf Hitler, because when you study the doctrine of Hell long enough and understand what it truly is, you don’t want anyone to wind up there. Hell is real, it has flames and outer darkness, and if you find yourself there you will never get out. How to avoid Hell is easy, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.’ It doesn’t get any easier than that. According to all accounts, Ozzy Osbourne was raised in the Church of England, the same Church where the King James Bible came from, he was baptized as a baby, and he attended Sunday School. That’s pretty good stuff, right?
In an interview with Spin in 1986, as shared by The Guardian, Osbourne said, “I’m a Christian. I was christened as a Christian. I used to go to Sunday school. I never took much interest in it because … I didn’t.”
Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than sleeping in a garage doesn’t make you an automobile. Baptism doesn’t save you, and neither does attending Sunday School. In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch had this exchange with the apostle Philip. “And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” Belief in Jesus first, baptism second, that’s Church Age doctrine.
The Truth about Heaven and Hell
Let me ask you the most important question you will every be asked in your entire life. If you were to die tonight, where would you go?
Ozzy Osbourne said he ‘believed in God’, that’s good, right? “I believe in God. I don’t go to church, but I don’t think you have to go to church to believe in God,” he said.” On that point he was correct, you do not have to attend church in order to believe in God. James has this to say about that “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” Devils in Hell believe in God, so much so that it makes them tremble, but it doesn’t make them saved. Believing that God exists is a wonderful first step on the path to salvation, but believing in God is not enough to save you. God has placed salvation in His only begotten Son Jesus, it is in Him where salvation dwells, no place else. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Black Sabbath has a song called ‘After Forever’, and here is a line from it “I have seen the truth, yes, I’ve seen the light, and I’ve changed my ways. And I’ll be prepared when you’re lonely and scared at the end of our days.” Sounds almost like a profession of faith, doesn’t it? Maybe, except for the fact that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, there is no other truth. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Black Sabbath has dozens of songs mentioning Satan and the Devil by name, but as far as I know, not one mentioned the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. Why would Jesus not even get a mention if Ozzy was truly a Christian?
So we see that salvation as defined by the Bible for New Testament Christians living in the Church Age is quite clear, and here it is. “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” Did Ozzy Osbourne believe that? There is no record that I could find to show he did, no testimony of salvation or receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour. I think that music like the kind practiced by Black Sabbath, and by “Christian” artists like Slayer, Stryper, Skillet, Demon Hunter and all the others is satanic, and no one who names the Name of Jesus should have anything to do with that garbage. But listening to bad music doesn’t send you to Hell, not believing on the Name of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth does. That’s where we’ll leave it.

Barack Hussein Obama
President Trump Says Barack Obama Is Guilty Of ‘Sedition And Treason’ Against The United States And That ‘Papers Are Signed’ To Have Him Arrested
Former President Barack Obama’s office claims that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) report indicating senior officials in the Obama administration orchestrated the “Russia Collusion” hoax after President Donald Trump was elected, is “outrageous.”
President Trump in his efforts to make the Epstein files scandal go away has put himself in a very precarious position. He has accused former president Barack Obama of ‘sedition and treason’ against the government of the United States, has pronounced him to be guilty, saying “it’s time to go after people”.
“Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.” Job 31:6 (KJB)
Here’s the problem with all that. If Trump, having pronounced Obama to be guilty of the highest crime possible against the nation, does not have him arrested nearly immediately, it will show that Trump is lying. Trump would then be guilty of libel for publishing false statements and slander for speaking false statements. If Trump does have Obama led away in handcuffs, it will ignite a firestorm not seen since the last civil war. On our Podcast yesterday, I called Trump’s bluff, and said he would never do that while at the same time allowing for the slightest possibility that he just might. Crazy is as crazy does. Obama today called Trump’s accusations “outrageous”, and said his claims are “without merit”. Having now successfully painted himself into the proverbial corner, Trump has to ‘put up or shut up’, and arrest Obama and try him, or be branded a liar. What do you think he’ll do?
Obama’s Office Responds to Trump’s Accusation of Treason: ‘Outrageous’
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush issued a statement challenging the report released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday, according to a screenshot from the Hill White House columnist Niall Stanage.
The ODNI report found “overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump,” per a release from Gabbard’s office.
BREAKING NEWS: President Trump from the Oval Office has just declared that former president Barack Obama is guilty of treason. How long until he issues the order to arrest Obama? Because if he doesn’t, then he’s lying. What happens next should be interesting. pic.twitter.com/0pk5MfPkQO
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 22, 2025
Rodenbush heavily denied the allegations in the report:
- Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous and merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.
- Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.
The statement comes hours after Trump declared Obama is “guilty.”
“He’s guilty. It’s not a question, you know, I like to say, ‘Let’s give it time.’ It’s there. He’s guilty… This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump also emphasized that he did not pursue charges against twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2017 over her email scandal, but said after what has happened to him over the past decade, “it’s time to go after people.”
“You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, ‘You know what, let’s not… go too far here; It’s the ex-wife of a president.’ And I thought it was sort of terrible, and I let her off the hook. And I’m very happy I did,” Trump said. “…After what they did to me, and whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people. Obama’s been caught directly. So people say, ‘Oh, you know a group.’ It’s not a group, it’s Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed,” Trump added. READ MORE
