The substantive case against gay marriage collapsed in the Supreme Court last week.
As the United States and South Korea strengthen their defenses amid blood-curdling threats from a North Korea that continues to strengthen its nuclear and missile capability, the truth has to be faced: U.S. policy toward North Korea is not working.
She’s not a billionaire, social media celebrity, or best-selling author. In an era of uber-bling, she’s distinctly unter-bling. By her own admission, she was a bit of a klutz as a young woman.
