The allies held the rare live-fire drill as tensions grew over the peninsula following the North’s first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test held last week. |
Saturday’s drill, designed to “sternly respond” to potential missile launches by the North, saw two US bombers destroy “enemy” missile batteries and South Korean jets mount precision strikes against underground command posts. |
During Saturday’s drill, long-range B-1B Lancer bombers reportedly flew close to the heavily-fortified border between two Koreas and dropped 2,000-pound (900 kilogram) bombs. |
“A small misjudgment or error can immediately lead to the beginning of a nuclear war, which will inevitably lead to another world war,” it said. |
Tension has been high as the US administration under President Donald Trump and the North’s regime under leader Kim Jong-Un have exchanged hostile rhetoric for months. |
Tension further escalated after Tuesday’s ICBM test, a milestone in the North’s decades-long quest for weapons capable of reaching the US. |
The impoverished, isolated country has staged five nuclear tests — including two last year — and has made a significant progress in its missile capability under Kim, who took power in 2011. |
In another drill held after the ICBM test, US and South Korean troops fired ballistic missiles simulating an attack on the North’s leadership “as a strong message of warning,” the South’s military said at the time. |
2 Tucson men arrested on suspicion of smuggling people into U.S. |
Federal officials say an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old who fled from agents and wrecked their vehicle were hiding two people in the trunk. |
A smuggler, known as a pollero, explains how he gets people across the border. Once, he was one of them. A USA TODAY NETWORK video production. |
Two Tucson men attempting to smuggle people across the U.S.-Mexico border were arrested after their flight from immigration agents ended in a car wreck in southern Arizona, officials said. |
Neither the men, ages 18 and 19, nor the Mexican nationals who were hiding in the trunk were injured in the crash, according to a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. |
CBP said the men's vehicle was passing through the Interstate 19 immigration checkpoint at the Nogales Station on Saturday night and sped away after Border Patrol agents tried to inspect the vehicle. |
Agents caught up with the car after it crashed on I-19 in Arivaca. They detained the men and found a 24-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man hiding in the trunk, the CBP said. |
Agents arrested the driver and passenger on suspicion of human smuggling and the Mexican nationals on suspicion of immigration violations. |

Russian Maria Butina's Story Reveals Pro-Putin Views In The U.S. |
Continuing its growth in Ocean County, Jersey Mike's plans to open a new sub shop on Route 37 in Toms River near the Manchester boundary. |
The new corporate-owned restaurant, located at 1131 Route 37 in the Orchards at Dover shopping center, is expected to open sometime late in the third quarter or fourth quarter. |
It will the fourth Jersey Mike's in Toms River. The three other locations, further east on Route 37, on Fischer Boulevard, and on Hooper Avenue, are owned by franchisee Chris Rampone. The Fischer Bouelvard location opened in April. |
Wall-based Jersey Mike’s has 78 stores in New Jersey, including 31 in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The state is a growth market for Jersey Mike’s. So far this year, it has opened stores in Rockaway, Linden, and Kearny. A store in Clark is due to open next week. |
There’s room for more stores at the Jersey Shore, said Hoyt Jones, Jersey Mike’s president. |
Mike's Subs opened in Point Pleasant in 1956, becoming a landmark by the 1970s. In 1975, 17-year-old Peter Cancro, who had worked here since he was 14, purchased the deli. |
By 1987, Cancro, the chief executive officer, franchised the concept and changed the name to Jersey Mike's Subs. Since around 2005, the company has highlighted the Jersey Shore lifestyle around the country. The store's decoration includes a large postcard from 1956 "Welcome to Point Pleasant." |
Jersey Mike's now has 1,435 locations in 43 states and Washington D.C. |
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) must play a part in any resurgence of the manned space program but a private/public partnership would be good for the industry, Florida state Rep. Steve Crisafulli tells Newsmax.TV. |
The end of the NASA’s 30-year-old shuttle program has hit Crisafulli’s 32nd District hard. NASA and related contractors have reportedly cut thousands of jobs in the state. |
“Certainly we’ve done a lot here in the state of Florida to give Space Florida, our economic development agency for space, the toolbox to operate and be attractive and draw commercial opportunities here but I do believe that NASA needs to have a part in that,” he said in an exclusive Newsmax interview. |
Crisafulli, who counts among family members a Florida governor and state Supreme Court chief justice, also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., in her new position as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. |
“Obviously, she has a job to do, and I understand that,” he said. “Unfortunately it puts politics above policy and obviously I understand and the people understand that she’s doing a job for the DNC but for me it becomes a little more personal in understanding she divides the delegation here in this state with our cong... |
Wasserman Schultz is also in the middle of a bitter feud with fellow Floridian Rep. Allen West, R-Fla. West called her the "most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member" of the House. West leveled his broadside after Wasserman Schultz criticized West for his support of the cut, cap, and balance bill and said the me... |
The way to tackle the unemployment rate in Florida was for the state legislature to continue to be friendly to businesses and to be competitive with other states to bring businesses to this state. |
Expanding the Debate: Jill Stein “Debates” Clinton & Trump in Democracy Now! Special–Part 1 | Democracy Now! |
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off Monday night in one of the most anticipated debates in U.S. history. The debate was held at Hofstra University on Long Island and moderated by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. Throughout the 90-minute, often antagonistic, debate, Clinton and Trump sparred on everything fro... |
AMY GOODMAN: While the Green Party’s Jill Stein was escorted off the campus at Hofstra, what would it sound like if she actually participated in the debate? Well, today, as is our tradition, Democracy Now! expands the debate. Debate moderator Lester Holt will ask Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump questions. After their ... |
LESTER HOLT: We’re calling this opening segment “Achieving Prosperity.” And central to that is jobs. There are two economic realities in America today. There’s been a record six straight years of job growth, and new census numbers show incomes have increased at a record rate after years of stagnation. However, income i... |
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, thank you, Lester, and thanks to Hofstra for hosting us. |
The central question in this election is really what kind of country we want to be and what kind of future we’ll build together. Today is my granddaughter’s second birthday, so I think about this a lot. |
First, we have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. That means we need new jobs, good jobs, with rising incomes. I want us to invest in you. I want us to invest in your future. That means jobs in infrastructure, in advanced manufacturing, innovation and technology, clean, renewable en... |
We also have to make the economy fairer. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women’s work. I also want to see more companies do profit sharing. If you help create the profits, you should be able to share in them, not just the executives at the top. |
Finally, we, tonight, are on the stage together, Donald Trump and I. Donald, it’s good to be with you. We’re going to have a debate where we are talking about the important issues facing our country. You have to judge us: Who can shoulder the immense, awesome responsibilities of the presidency? Who can put into action ... |
LESTER HOLT: Secretary Clinton, thank you. Mr. Trump, the same question to you. It’s about putting money—more money into the pockets of American workers. You have up to two minutes. |
DONALD TRUMP: Thank you, Lester. |
Our jobs are fleeing the country. They’re going to Mexico. They’re going to many other countries. You look at what China is doing to our country in terms of making our product: They’re devaluing their currency, and there’s nobody in our government to fight them. And we have a very good fight, and we have a winning figh... |
When you look at what’s happening in Mexico, a friend of mine who builds plants said it’s the eighth wonder of the world. They’re building some of the biggest plants anywhere in the world, some of the most sophisticated, some of the best plants. With the United States, as he said, not so much. So, Ford is leaving. You ... |
As far as child care is concerned and so many other things, I think Hillary and I agree on that. We probably disagree a little bit as to numbers and amounts and what we’re going to do, but perhaps we’ll be talking about that later. |
But we have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us. We have to stop our companies from leaving the United States and, with it, firing all of their people. All you have to do is take a look at Carrier air conditioning in Indianapolis. They left, fired 1,400 people. They’re going to Mexico. So many hundreds and hundr... |
Under my plan, I’ll be reducing taxes tremendously, from 35 percent to 15 percent for companies, small and big businesses. That’s going to be a job creator like we haven’t seen since Ronald Reagan. It’s going to be a beautiful thing to watch. Companies will come. They will build. They will expand. New companies will st... |
DR. JILL STEIN: So, I’ll start just by thanking Democracy Now! for holding a real debate, which the American people are clamoring for. Over 75 percent of Americans are saying they want an open debate. The two candidates of the establishment parties are the most disliked and untrusted in our history, so we owe the Ameri... |
On this question of prosperity, I think Donald Trump knows what he’s talking about, about the offshoring of jobs, because, in fact, Donald Trump has offshored all of his jobs, aside from his real estate. All of the products that he manufactures and markets, in fact, are produced offshore. And he, in fact, has been an a... |
The prosperity issue has really reached crisis proportions, because prosperity has gone to the top, not to American workers who are struggling. Half of Americans are basically in poverty or near poverty and struggling to survive. So we need truly transformative solutions. This won’t be solved around the margins. |
My campaign is calling for a Green New Deal, which is an emergency jobs program that will create 20 million good-wage, living-wage jobs as part of solving the emergency of climate change. So we—we call for 100 percent clean, renewable energy by 2030, in time to actually solve the climate crisis. And in doing so, we wou... |
And in addition, 100 percent renewable energy makes wars for oil obsolete. And we call for cutting the military budget from this bloated, dangerous budget, in fact, which is bankrupting us, and putting our dollars into true security here at home. |
HILLARY CLINTON: I know how to really work to get new jobs and to get exports that help to create more new jobs. |
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, I’ve been a senator, Donald. |
DONALD TRUMP: You haven’t done it. You haven’t done it. |
HILLARY CLINTON: And I have been a secretary of state. |
DONALD TRUMP: And excuse me. |
DONALD TRUMP: Your husband signed NAFTA, which was one of the worst things that ever happened to the manufacturing industry. |
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, that’s your opinion. That is your opinion. |
DONALD TRUMP: You go to New England, you go to Ohio, Pennsylvania, you go anywhere you want, Secretary Clinton, and you will see devastation where manufacture is down 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent. NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country. |
And now you want to approve Trans-Pacific Partnership. You were totally in favor of it. Then you heard what I was saying, how bad it is, and you said, “I can’t win that debate.” But you know that if you did win, you would approve that, and that will be almost as bad as NAFTA. Nothing will ever top NAFTA. |
DONALD TRUMP: You called it the gold standard. |
DONALD TRUMP: You called it the gold standard of trade deals. |
HILLARY CLINTON: And you know what? |
DONALD TRUMP: And then you heard what I said about it, and all of a sudden you were against it. |
HILLARY CLINTON: —before you even announced. |
DONALD TRUMP: Is it President Obama’s fault? |
DONALD TRUMP: Because he’s pushing it. |
DONALD TRUMP: But you have no plan. |
DONALD TRUMP: Secretary, you have no plan. |
DR. JILL STEIN: So, clearly more heat than light coming out of much of the discussion in last night’s debate. In addition to establishing an emergency jobs program, we need to do another major initiative, and that is to end the predatory student loan debt, which has basically held an entire generation hostage, unable t... |
There are many ways we can pay for it. It’s $1.3 trillion. We came up with $16 trillion to bail out Wall Street when they needed it. We can pay for ending student debt by creating a small tax on Wall Street, for example, or by increasing the income tax on the highest bracket of earners up to, say, 60 or 65 percent. We ... |
AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Jill Stein, joining Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in Democracy Now!'s special, “Expanding the Debate,” based on last night's debate at Hofstra University, the first presidential debate. This is Democracy Now! This is what democracy sounds like. Back with the debate in a minute. |
AMY GOODMAN: “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears. This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman, as we return to our “Expanding the Debate” special, as we air excerpts from the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and expand the debate by giving Green ... |
LESTER HOLT: I want to move to our next segment. We move into our next segment talking about America’s direction. And let’s start by talking about race. The share of Americans who say race relations are bad in this country is the highest it’s been in decades, much of it amplified by shootings of African Americans by po... |
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, you’re right. Race remains a significant challenge in our country. Unfortunately, race still determines too much, often determines where people live, determines what kind of education in their public schools they can get. And, yes, it determines how they’re treated in the criminal justice system.... |
And we’ve got to do several things at the same time. We have to restore trust between communities and the police. We have to work to make sure that our police are using the best training, the best techniques, that they’re well prepared to use force only when necessary. Everyone should be respected by the law, and every... |
But we also have to recognize, in addition to the challenges that we face with policing, there are so many good, brave police officers who equally want reform. So we have to bring communities together in order to begin working on that as a mutual goal. |
And we’ve got to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. The gun epidemic is the leading cause of death of young African-American men, more than the next nine causes put together. |
So we have to do two things, as I said. We have to restore trust. We have to work with the police. We have to make sure they respect the communities and the communities respect them. And we have to tackle the plague of gun violence, which is a big contributor to a lot of the problems that we’re seeing today. |
LESTER HOLT: All right, Mr. Trump, you have two minutes. How do you heal the divide? |
DONALD TRUMP: Well, first of all, Secretary Clinton doesn’t want to use a couple of words, and that’s “law” and “order.” And we need law and order. If we don’t have it, we’re not going to have a country. |
And when I look at what’s going on in Charlotte, a city I love, a city where I have investments, when I look at what’s going on throughout various parts of our country, whether it’s—I mean, I can just keep naming them all day long—we need law and order in our country. |
And I just got today the—as you know, the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police. We just—just came in. We have endorsements from, I think, almost every police group, very—I mean, a large percentage of them in the United States. |
