Well, I suppose that it would be one way to get rid of the Ninth Circuit . . . :tongue: (Disclaimer: I AM NOT ADVOCATING for this!)
Should U.S. be preparing for a North Korean nuclear strike on the West Coast?

WASHINGTON —
After listening to experts describe the threat posed by North Korea and its nuclear arsenal, U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, paused amid a Capitol Hill hearing earlier this week and made a suggestion.
“We ought to have civil defense in this country,” said Sherman during a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “Some of us are old enough to remember when we had civil defense and we were under our desks.”
The congressman wasn’t calling for an immediate return to the “duck and cover” days of the Cold War. But his statement reflects heightened alarm among members of Congress – especially those from the West Coast – over North Korea’s continuing nuclear tests and advances in missile technology.
In the last year alone, North Korea has conducted 20 missile tests and two nuclear tests. That’s a marked annual increase from the 42 missile tests and two nuclear tests of the previous seven years, according to Victor Cha, a Korea specialist with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
Cha and other experts say it is highly likely that North Korea’s Kim Jong Un will launch another intercontinental ballistic missile this year, in part to gauge the response from President Donald Trump. While some of North Korea’s missile tests have ended in failure, the regime seems to be learning from each launch to improve its capability.
Not good. Maybe ol' Vlad will understand that the NoKos with ICBMs could go after him as well.

I guess North Korea and Iran will flip a coin to see who gets to launch theirs first.

Paint concentric, contrasting rings around San Francisco, encourage Pelosi to spend as much time in her district as possible. That's my recommendation.

We should be so lucky.

The irony in this is so thick you'd have to cleave it with an axe! Hey Congress-Critter Sherman of the north of the Land of LA! Remember that Strategic Defense Initiative set of programs you Democrats mocked, obstructed, and delayed? You're 62, so you should! Those Strategic Defense Initiative weapons systems sure would address your concerns, Equine Anus!
BTW, Sherman is probably the Congress-Critter of DU's resident SoCal cat veterinarian.
