Hal Kempfer, a noted international security expert, is getting a roomful of California public health officials and emergency responders to think about the unthinkable – a nuclear bomb exploding at the port of Long Beach, about four miles away...News out of North Korea has created a mini-bonanza for local manufacturers of nuclear fallout shelters.

"Kim ungy ungy fat one wants to an EMP attack and knock out our grid... Think of all the recent hurricane damage but with no outside ‘help’ coming to the rescue. Some estimates are the 90% of Americans will die the first year if that happens."

Don’t worry California. Obama said that this would not happen if he made deals with NK. He is your messiah. Believe your own gospel!

My sister-in-law was there during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. It was a madhouse with people trying to get out of town, grabbing groceries, wrecks at many intersections.

“...Fatherland...” Sorry, I forgot how to properly spell Doucheland...or is that it. Merkel’s sniping at the President and American conservatives in general is somewhat of a distraction.
