[1] They said 10,000 Americans could be wounded in just a few days. This is our push moment to prevent war with North Korea. Win Without War is using every possible tactic to pressure Congress to step in, from grabbing headlines to flooding phone lines. But we need your help. The truth is, if we don’t get in Trump’s way right now,  we could be looking at war with North Korea in a matter of months.   Can you chip in $6 today to help slam on the brakes before Trump’s war games become a devastating reality? Donate $6 Now  After the military’s planning exercise, the Army’s Chief of Staff warned that a war with North Korea would be the most brutal any living soldier has ever seen. If you’re scared — well, so am I. But his warning is also a huge opportunity. Powerfu...

Where is the SPINELESS REPUBLICAN PARTY?  The rest of the World believes Trump is insane....where is your loyalty and patriotism?  03 January 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News FOCUS: Robert Reich | Trump's Ego: A National Security Threat    Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Facebook Page   Reich writes: "As we approach a full year with Trump in office, it's clear that he is utterly incapable of putting national security before his own ego."   READ MORE s we approach a full year with Trump in office, it's clear that he is utterly incapable of putting national security before his own ego.
