Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama was worried about tranny bathrooms in N Carolina. Trump is worried about N Korea and it's threat to the California Coast. Me? I'm going with Trump on this one.

USS Carl Vinson Strike Force Group on its way to Asia

A U.S. Navy press release stated, “Admiral Harry Harris, Commander, U.S. Pacific Command, has directed the Carl Vinson Strike Group to sail north and report on station in the Western Pacific Ocean after departing Singapore April 8.” The release continued to note that the strike group “will operate in the Western Pacific rather than executing previously planned port visits to Australia.”
While the directive did not mention North Korea directly, the directive from Admiral Harry Harris is clearly a response to the recent North Korean provocations of missile launches and direct threats towards the United States. The USS Carl Vinson was in South Korea last month for an annual training exercise, Foal Eagle. In response to the training exercises with the South Koreans, North Korea fired four ballistic missiles into the ocean off the Japanese coast to the condemnation of the international community. Following the launches, the U.S. started preparations for its anti-missile defense system, THAAD to be setup in South Korea.
While it is not out of the ordinary for U.S. aircraft carriers to visit the area, this redirected trip is directly aimed towards North Korea as a show of force. The U.S. has had a significant presence in the region for the last 70 years.
The ships that make up the strike group are the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) the guided missile destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and the guided missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain (CG 57).

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
