Dear Kim Jong Un

-

If I was President Donald Trump, I’d send Kim Jong Un the following tweet:

“Dear Kim, we had a couple good meetings in the past to help North Korea prosper, settle past difference­s and put you on a path to join the world team. I thought all was going well. However, our intelligen­ce community has just shown photos that you are ramping up the refurbishi­ng of a missile site you promised would be destroyed. That truly upsets me and the citizens of our country.

“Yes, we can ramp up sanctions and all that stuff. However, we could also give you a date and time when we will destroy that site with lethal precision to show what you may be up against if you wish to continue the path you have chosen. Please join the world team, give your citizens an opportunit­y to enjoy their lives, or pay the consequenc­es for not keeping up with past commitment­s.

“Your buddy, Donald.”

This sounds like a good plan to correct a great injustice until one thinks about the Native Americans who are still at the bottom of the American totem pole.

It is flagrantly hypocritic­al of Castro and Elizabeth Warren, among others, that Native American tribes are not a large enough voting bloc to be concerned about. Robert Hausser Jr.

All these things require more spending by government. Yet, according to the Gallup organizati­on, 48 percent of the public trusts Congress little or not at all, while only 11 percent trust it a great deal or quite a lot.

Now, why would you give more spending money to people you don’t trust?
