One of Moon Jae-in’s boys?

South Chungcheong Province Governor An Hee-jung has been accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his secretary over the past eight months.

During a TV interview on JTBC, a local cable channel, Monday, Kim Ji-eun who has served as An’s secretary since June, claimed that the 54-year-old assaulted her four times and frequently sexually harassed her.

I can’t always keep up with the Political Parties in South Korea, as they change their names on a regular basis. But Wikipedia says An/Ahn Hee-jung is in the same political party as Moon. Splash over damage?

I’d have chosen someone prettier. The secretary isn’t a looker at all. 😆

Don’t forget who Bill Clinton abused. None of them were models, either. That type of predator always goes after ones who are least likely to make an effective complaint.

And they often have the media covering up their sordid acts as though it was the woman’s fault. “She was asking for it.” “She didn’t strenuously resist.” “It was consensual.” And all that Harvey Weinstein crap.

And the left still faults men like Mike Pence for not putting themselves, or any woman in their employ, in a similar situation while defending the dirtbags. If it wasn’t so hypocritical and mean-spirited, it would be comical.

I bet this goes away soon. She didn’t seem to be very convincing on JTBC. Like she was reading a script. Jilted lover perhaps?

Laws banning drinking on mountain tops and in other designated natural areas start this month.

The National Assembly passed the revised anti-drinking laws on Tuesday that affect visitors to mountains and parks under national, city or provincial management, the environment ministry said Wednesday. The laws begin on Mar. 13.

By Jung Min-ho
With Canada expected to legalize the recreational use of marijuana by summer, Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Koreans living there of jumping on the bandwagon.

‘In accordance with the nationality principle, all Koreans should follow the Korean law,’ the ministry said on Facebook Tuesday. ‘The Korean government will step up inspections of people who come from Canada and their belongings as well as all packages from the country.’

Meanwhile, Colorado made hundreds of millions in tax revenue, my property value shot up, and everything is pretty damned chill. I was told it would turn into a Mad Max wastelands. It didn’t. Huh. Weird.

Hey we’re thinking of moving to Colorado. Any chances the price of homes will go down a bit in the near future? Just hoping….(we’re looking at the Evergreen/Conifer area)

MTB, Liz, take a look at Humboldt County California where I grew up.

There are some great videos taken by a local resident here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpQC3JZpU7o5bG8CXbJb38Q/videos

Property values shot up, big employers left, drug gangs moved in and the place degenerated… Say what you will, Fishing, Dairy, Lumber, and Tourism were enough in the 1960s and 1970s until the Redwood National Park Expansion in 1978 killed Lumber. And drugs chased every big employer away…

I ended up having to move in ’88, after living there 30 years… 80% of my high school class moved away from what was an idyllic place to live… The rest had a family business…

Setnaffa:
Gangs only make money when a product in demand is illegal. Capone made his fortune selling whiskey during the ten years of Prohibition.
I could show a video of Skid Row drunks, but that won’t change your mind. Alcohol is completely legal, as are cigs. The stats say you’re far more likely to go onto harder drugs after becoming an alcoholic than a weed smoker.
Prohibition doesn’t work, shaming doesn’t work. I’ve seen a lot of towns die over the years. Economics is the driving force on whether a town lives or dies. Four industries, with one lost due to the National Park Expansion doesn’t keep a town going.

Liz: I kind of doubt prices will drop anytime soon. The worst of the surge is over, so I may sell the house and lock in my profit. That house is in Colorado Springs, and I’m hoping my job brings me back to Ft. Carson, at least for a couple years.

MTB, you’re welcome to live with the pot smokers. Just don’t be surprised when a meth lab takes out a house in your neighborhood. And yes, pot is a gateway drug, just as are tobacco and alcohol.

To hell with those gateway drugs… no time for that lollygagging. When I decide to start taking drugs, I’m going straight to Krokodil.

Korea Times poll shows 57% disapprove Korean beers

“They taste like an accident in a chemical lab,” one respondent said.

I’m still in shock that Trump agreed so readily to meet Fatty. Fatty has been on fire this past month.

Putin controls both Trump and Kim Jong Un.

Trump is controlled by Putin because Putin is paying him?
He’s afraid of naughty Russian pictures coming out and sullying his reputation?
I wonder what exactly folks believe Putin holds over Trump, and why.

Russian loans to avoid a fifth bankruptcy. Tax returns would show this.

They can’t prove any crime so they change the subject randomly.

Trump could suck second hand borscht from a Russian hooker’s åss in a hot tub of pee on national TV and it wouldn’t matter as long as he is working to fulfill his campaign promises…

…and he is…

…so it doesn’t matter.

CH is 99% correct; but it’s more likely the Clinton Foundation was engaged in said activities… I mean, look at the faces of the Clinton inner circle…

Trump prefers ice cream and sodas… He’s got a sweet tooth…
