NKorea warns of war if punished for ship sinking

North Korea, accused of waging the deadliest attack on the South Korean military since the Korean War, flatly denied sinking a warship Thursday and warned that retaliation would mean "all-out war."

Evidence presented Thursday to prove North Korea fired a torpedo that sank a South Korean ship was fabricated by Seoul, North Korean naval spokesman Col. Pak In Ho told broadcaster APTN in an exclusive interview in Pyongyang.

He warned that any move to sanction or strike North Korea would be met with force.

"If (South Korea) tries to deal any retaliation or punishment, or if they try sanctions or a strike on us .... we will answer to this with all-out war," he told APTN.

Rare 4.0 earthquake hits South Texas on Saturday night

A light to moderate quake jolted the South Texas area last night. The quake was some concern to the fact the area rarely sees this activity.

The quake was 28 miles West of Corpus Christi, TX and was a magnitude 4.0 on Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 02:10:41 UTC, which in local Texas time was around 11:10pm Saturday night.

Scientists are unsure at the moment what caused the quake in South Texas, however the earthquake density maps are very telling to the situation. The area does not experience these types of quakes.

The depth of this quake was around 5.0km, which suggests it was either geological or induced by oil production, which does happen. Never-the-less this is an interesting area to have a quake due to the fact the area has a large crack running north to south in Texas, discovered several years ago, origin being unknown.

The quake comes after a 4.3 Magnitude shaker in Mexico earlier in the day.

Politics: Anita Dunn names Mao Tse Tung as one of her favorite philosophers

Watch this video:



Ok, so who is Mao Tse Tung & why is this such a big deal?

Mao Tse Tung is the founder of Maoism which is a version of Marxism leading ideology of the Communist Party of China. Wikipedia states, "Mao's socio-political programs, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, are blamed for causing severe famine and damage to the culture, society and economy of China. Mao's policies and political purges from 1949-1975 are widely believed to have caused the deaths of tens of millions of people."

Now, just a few years ago, she would have been booed off stage for saying she admired such a person. But, not now, not today, no, these days she is given the job of White House Communications Director. Does this President of ours have any one with any morals, with any class, with any dignity anywhere near him?It is amazing to me that an American President would place into position anyone who would admit to the slightest admiration of a Socialist/Communist/Marxist/Maoist. I could possibly see having maybe one that way back in their youth went to a meeting but kept it as a deep secret all these years but Pres. Obama has many advisers who not only sympathize with these ideologies but openly admire them or even claim to be members of these parties or hold the same beliefs & hope to move our country in that direction. Very sad.

Granted, none of this should surprise Christians that have studied even the basics of end time prophecy. As we move closer to that day, the Bible talks about a one world currency (which the President of Russia showed a film crew this year's G-8 meeting) & all the nations of the world will come against Jerusalem (as if that isn't happening at break neck speeds). All the same, most Christians had high hopes that America would always stand with Israel. No, I do not thing President Obama is the Anti-Christ...I don't think he is liked nearly enough...but I do think the is laying down the red carpet & oiling the door hinges for him.



Wow, I didn't mean for this entry to take that turn. I just wanted to alert you all to this nutty woman in Washington D.C. Oh, well, the rest is just an observation/thought I have been having lately.
