MURDEROUS  thin-skinned and in possession of nuclear weapons  the North Korean dictator   Kim Jong Un   has one good deed to  his  name:  he  has united America and China. Max Baucus  Americaâs ambassador to Beijing until January 2017  recalls the Chinese president  Xi Jinping  privately expressing âdisgustâ at Mr Kimâs reckless pursuit of nukes and missiles to carry them to other continents. Mr Xiâs frustration with North Koreaâs hereditary despot stands out as âthe strongest statement that I have ever heard Xi makeâ  says Mr Baucus. China has never sounded as closely aligned with America when it comes to using sanctions and diplomatic pressure  in a last-ditch bid to change how Mr Kim calculates his regimeâs interests.
Unfortunately for relations between the worldâs two biggest economies  China will hate the next steps that America is likely to take on North Korea. Evan Medeiros  until 2015 the senior director for Asia in Barack Obamaâs National Security Council  says that when the Chinese accuse America of refusing to engage in talks with the regime  this is largely âposturingâ. But behind it lies a truth  that âsanctions wonât stop North Koreaâ. When battling the proliferation of the deadliest weapons  sanctions are always in a race with technology  says Mr Medeiros  now with the Eurasia Group  a consultancy. âKim Jong Un is close to grasping the brass ring. We have probably lost the race and need to think about deterrence.â This could include deploying new missiles and missile-defence systems in South Korea and Japan  and perhaps another aircraft-carrier in the region.
Still  cold-war theories of deterrence are being dusted off  with such jargon as âsecond-strike capabilityââthe certainty that a country attacked with nuclear weapons can retaliate massively. Douglas Paal  a senior Asia hand in the Reagan White House and both Bush administrations  approves of the Senate plan to place more interceptors in Alaska  in part to gain leverage over China. âWe need to layer up more missile defence. China needs to see that their second-strike capacity is really deteriorating  which hurts them.â Mr Paal  who runs the Asia programme at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace  a think-tank  is in frequent contact with envoys of governments including Chinaâs and  recently  North Koreaâs. He concedes the need for talks with the  Kim  regime  alongside containment and deterrence  but notes that in previous negotiations  North Korea wanted an end to American defence alliances in Asia and to Americaâs troop presence in South Korea: âSo we canât get there.â
A policy of containment would not just strain relations with China as new American weapons bristled in Asia. Global non-proliferation regimes would be tested  not least because a North Korea facing crippling sanctions might see selling nuclear technology as a lifeline. Perhaps Chinaâs greatest nightmare involves Japan feeling compelled to build nuclear weapons (it could quickly develop the technology). A Chinese build-up of warheads in response could result in India and then Pakistan increasing their stockpiles. The unity fostered by  Mr Kim  may thus prove short-lived. If  he  builds the arsenal  he  wants  China and America will be sincere in their shared dismay. But if America then prepares to contain him  a whole new Sino-American stand-off may begin.

The phrase "chain migration" is what  Durbin  and  his  fellow liberals like to call a racist "dog whistle " but this dog won't hunt.
One wonders if  Sen. Dick Durbin  ever objected to the phrase "chain of custody" in judicial proceedings as evidence of racism in a justice system said to be unfair to blacks. Or maybe he thought "chain smoking" is a phrase coined by Klansmen watching slaves harvest tobacco. Has he ever participated in a chain letter?
Democrats like  Durbin  like to view everything through race-colored glasses  and the phrase "chain migration" is no exception  with  Durbin  claiming President Trump's use of the term reminded blacks of slavery:
 Durbin  told the media on Friday that he reprimanded Trump for using the term "chain migration" in immigration negotiations  claiming [that] it [is] associated with racism  despite the Illinois senator just this week also using the term. Durbin said in an interview: That was the nature of this conversation. When it came to the issue of  quote  "chain migration " I said to the president  do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African-Americans believe they migrated to America in chains and when you talk about chain migration  it hurts them personally.
In 2010  Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) advocated on the Senate floor for ending the process known as "chain migration " whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S.  a term that he now claims insinuates racism. While asking Congress to pass the expansive and failed "DREAM Act" amnesty  which would start by legalizing millions of illegal aliens   Durbin  touted the fact that the legislation at the time would have ended chain migration  preventing newly amnestied illegal aliens from bringing their extended family members to the U.S. "The DREAM Act would not allow what is known as chain migration "  Durbin  said. "In fact  DREAM Act students would have very limited ability to sponsor their family members for legal status."
Last week  Durbin accused Republicans of forcing Lynch  President Obama's African-American nominee to replace Eric Holder  to "sit in the back of the bus" until a vote on a controversial sex trafficking bill could be held. That thinly veiled reference to the moment in 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to move from her seat in a Montgomery  Ala.[] bus was meant to paint Senate Republicans as racists. This came as news to Tim Scott  R-S.C.  the first black elected to the Senate from the Deep South since reconstruction. "It is helpful to have a long memory and remember that  Dick Durbin  voted against Condoleezza Rice during the 40th anniversary of the March (on Selma) " Scott noted. "So I think  in context  it's just offensive that we have folks who are willing to race-bait on an issue as important as human trafficking."
Not only did  Durbin  oppose the nomination of the first black woman  and only the second woman  to be secretary of state  but  he  also fought President Bush's nomination of hispanic Miguel Estrada to sit on the U.S. Court of Appeals:

Jan Morgan  an Arkansas gun advocate who declared her firing range a “Muslim Free Zone ”  said  she  will challenge Gov. Asa Hutchinson in the GOP primary in May.
 The gun range owner  announced  her  candidacy on New Year’s Eve  although Newsweek reported that  she  had been soliciting campaign contributions via a campaign website earlier in 2017.
In a campaign video   Morgan  described  herself  as “a born again Christian  a genetically conservative wife  mother  small business owner [and] certified firearms instructor ” The Independent reported.
“I am committed to fight for you  but I can only do so much from the position of citizen activist ”  she  said. “If you want me to be your voice  I need a better position to fight from. Strategically speaking  that would be the governor’s seat.”
 Morgan  drew attention in 2014 after declaring  her  gun range a “Muslim Free Zone” on social media platforms.
“The Koran (which I have read and studied thoroughly) and (which muslims align themselves with)  contains 109 verses commanding hate  murder and terror against all human beings who refuse to submit or convert to Islam ”  she  wrote on  her  website.
