War

Air Force grounds combat aircraft, blaming the sequester. That's ridiculous. The sequester didn't cut anything. It just slowed down growth.

Navy cancels Blue Angels season. I'm good with military canceling the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels. Those are power propaganda tools. I'm happy they canceled baseball flyovers for the same reason.

Tunisian men travel to Libya to train for jihad in Syria, then onto Syria. The US has created a jihadist pipeline.

North Korea warns foreigners to evacuate South Korea before nuclear war. This sounds scary, I'd leave, but from a policy point of view, the best advice is to ignore this threat. The North Koreans aren't suicidal. They're not lunatics. They're posturing to gain a negotiating advantage and for internal consumption.
"The North has been threatening the United States and its "puppet" South Korea on an almost a daily basis in recent weeks, although the threats appear to be aimed partly at boosting internal support for young leader Kim Jong-un.
Even Reuters is toning down the hype.
