UPDATE: China's Xi Will Meet Obama Earlier Than Expected
China's Premiere Li Keqiang is promoting economic ties between China and India.
Meanwhile, DC politicians are naval gazing over 3 White House scandals. How's that Asia/Pacific strategy working?
"If every one of our combined 2.5 billion population would buy a new mobile phone, it would blow up the order lists of IT manufacturers and operators in the world," Li said.

Laura Ingraham hosted Catherine Herridge, chief intelligence correspondence of Fox News on the Benghazi scandal and North Korea.
Herridge said South Korea claims North Korea has its missiles positioned to fire. Also the US military said we have ability to shoot down a missile aimed at US interests. Most importantly, she said a recent cyberattack is thought to have come from North Korea.
Herridge noted we are in big debt to China and that they are robbing us blind, making it difficult for us to negotiate with them save they are worried about instability in North Korea.
Herridge reported that 700 Special Ops signed a letter to Congress demanding a thorough investigation into the Benghazi scandal. She said Speaker Boehner hasn't gotten behind a special committee investigation, perhaps due to the money and spending political capital. There are questions about the silence of the survivors, Obama's and Hillary Clinton's lack of engagement in the matter. She said it is peculiar that the survivors aren't allowed to talk to Congress members who are supposed to receive classified intel.

Laura Ingraham appeared on "Fox and Friends" on April 9th.
Ingraham said it's troubling that the US is outsourcing its foreign policy on North Korea to China as it assumes greater power on the world stage. She questioned what we could do as we know very little about Kim Jong Un despite AQ Khan's contention that nothing will happen. She noted that it's a sign of the US as a declining power and Obama's lack of engagement on the issue.
Ingraham defended Fox News Jana Winter's right to protect her sources on her story on Aurora shooter James Holmes. She stated that if this had been the elite media, there would have been great interest and defense of Winter.
Ingraham contrasted the media coverage of the obits of Margaret Thatcher and Hugo Chavez with Chavez getting an "Entertainment Tonight" coverage and that Thatcher has received derisive language from the left. Ingraham who enjoyed a small luncheon party for Thatcher, described, as a great lady.

North Korea plan to attack US mainland revealed in photographs
North Korea's Kim Jong Un responded Friday to the US putting nuclear ready B-2 bombers in South Korea military drills.
It seems the US thinks he's a bigger threat than administration rhetoric would indicate, downplaying the threat with words and amping up with weaponry.
North Korea's leader responded Friday to America's use of nuclear-capable B-2 bombers in joint South Korean military drills with more angry rhetoric, saying his rocket forces are ready "to settle accounts with the U.S."

China's new leader Xi Jinping's PR team is hoping his chanteuse wife Peng Liyuan will be the next Michelle Obama to hit the international stage to uplift China's global image.
All of this of course is no accident. Part of the Xi "China Dream Team" is the promotion of a first lady, something (if the Chinese blogosphere is to be believed) many Chinese have been waiting for after years of being fascinated with foreign first ladies from Michelle Obama to Carla Bruni to Cherie Blair. Going back of course, there's still a fascination among some with Jackie O., while, back in 1972, Pat Nixon intrigued the Chinese by wearing a rather scandalous red coat (her advisers told her the Chinese associated red with prostitutes) and accompanying her husband on tours of communes and schools. Obviously Peng Liyuan knows how to draw attention too, arriving with her husband in Tanzania on his recent swing through Africa in a well-tailored peach dress suit and with another luxurious leather, but again unbranded, handbag.

The chauvinist communist pigs of North Korea's military spoke of the venemous swish of skirt of South Korea's President Park.
Park has kept her cool while these fools mouth off.
But despite that swipe, and a continuing torrent of rhetoric from Pyongyang threatening nuclear war and other mayhem, President Park Geun-hye is sticking by her campaign vow to reach out to North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un, and to send the country much-needed humanitarian aid.

Former Chicago Bulls star and all round boob Dennis Rodman was unapologetic about his relationship with BFF Kim Jong Un, equating the US with North Korea's horrors.
“I don’t condone that. I hate the fact that he’s doing that. I didn’t talk about that. I saw people respected him, his family. He’s only 28. He’s not his dad. He’s not his grandpa. He is 28 years old. He’s very humble. He’s a very humble man. He don’t want war, that’s one thing he don’t want. He loves power. He loves control, because of his father, you know, stuff like that. But he’s just…he’s a great guy. He’s just a great guy. You sit down and talk to him,” said Rodman.

As the US has left blood and treasure in Afghanistan with little to show for it beyond tamping down al-Qaeda, China is moving in to suck up natural resources without the blowback the US got after the Iraq invasion for potentially exploiting that country's oil reserves.
Will China succeed where the Bits, Russia and the US failed in pacifying this turbulent region or will it become a money pit for them as well?
Beijing signed a strategic partnership last summer with the war-torn country. This was followed in September with a trip to Kabul by its top security official, the first by a leading Chinese government figure in 46 years, and the announcement that China would train 300 Afghan police officers. China is also showing signs of willingness to help negotiate a peace agreement as NATO prepares to pull out in two years.

Laura Ingraham hosted Bob Woodsen of the Center of Neighborhood Enterprise.
Woodsen said Dr. Martin Luther King said it was so important to be self-critical and was a moral crusader. He said that during the Depression the marriage rate among blacks was higher than among whites. He noted that within the 1960's the moral compass went awry and family structure fell apart - in large part due to the welfare state.
Woodsen decried the fact that President Obama doesn't do more to promote black families and pointed out that the moral decay in cities such as Chicago has resulted in more deaths of black children than in school mass shootings.
Woodsen said Dr. King promoted a black Tea Party notion and said King supported selfreliance and warned against moderates who engage in feel good activities that sap self0reliance.

Laura Ingraham appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" discussing her theory that various advocates played the race card for President Obama.
Ingraham said Colin Powell was asked by the White House to speak on behalf of contraversial Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel and made comments indicating that Republicans are intolerant, setting up President Obama as he nominated Hagel the following day. Ingraham said having Colin Powell speak for Hagel deflects attention from Hagel's anti-Jewish comments.

Apparently India's males aren't getting the message as 6 more evildoers raped another bus rider.
Why is castration off the table as cruel and unusual punishment as prisoners sue for and get sex change operations?
Police officer Raj Jeet Singh said a 29-year-old woman was the only passenger on a bus as she was traveling to her village in northern Punjab state on Friday night. The driver refused to stop at her village despite her repeated pleas and drove her to a desolate location, he said.
There, the driver and the conductor took her to a building where they were joined by five friends and took turns raping her throughout the night, Singh said.
The driver dropped the woman off at her village early Saturday, he said.

Google's Eric Schmidt, a proud supporter and adviser to the Obama administration, has emerged as a brazen rogue capitalist.
First Schmidt proudly bragged that Google's tax avoidance schemes are 'capitalism' - this while the president castigates millionaires and special interests who don't pay their fair share to the federal coffers.
Now Schmidt is visiting North Korea with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, putting the US in an awkward position as we try to pressure newly minted dictator Kim Jong Un on a range of issues, not the least of which is his evolving missile program which could touch the US.
Does anyone think Schmidt will open up the Hermit Kingdom to the wonders of social media and the internet?
Can anyone imagine if this were Exxon-Mobil or Haliburton making such a visit under a Republican administration?
This provides one more point for conspiracy theorists that Google is taking over the world. In more prosaic terms, it is big time rogue, crony capitalism.

An Indian woman who was gang raped by six fiends died in a Singapore hospital after being transferred there from New Delhi in a last ditch attempt to save her. The perverted act has enraged Indians and garnered global attention.
What action will be taken by the government beyond blocking government offices? Will these fiends receive their just desserts for this perversion?
"Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days," Loh said. "She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds, but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."
The woman and a male friend, who have not been identified, were traveling on a bus in New Delhi after watching a film on the evening of Dec. 16 when they were attacked by six men who raped her. The men beat the couple and inserted an iron rod into the woman's body, resulting in severe organ damage. Both were then stripped and thrown off the bus, according to police.
