Let's see: Kim Jong Fat Boy made his first foreign visit, a secret one, to China at the end of March, and one month later suddenly he's offering denuclearization to South Korea
Xi Jinping Pong read His Rotundity the riot act, that's all.
There's a contingent of fellow travelers in South Korea who want peace at any price, just as there are in the West. Xi instructed Kim to play them for the fools that they are, just as Xi is playing Trump and the US.
Do you hear the sound of that fiddle?
The communists of China and North Korea are in it for the long haul, a long, slow game toward victory in their shared mutual fight to achieve socialist ideals.
Just as Xi Jinping lied about not militarizing the reefs China has illegally occupied, they're lying about this too.
The real objective is to get the US out of South Korea, and ultimately out of the region, and Kim is the instrument for accomplishing part of this broader aim.

IPCC puts global warming at +1.53 degrees F 1880-2012, over 3.8 times what it was in Grand Rapids, Michigan
The average temperature trend in Grand Rapids, Michigan shows warming of about only 0.4 degrees F over the 120-year record from 1898 through 2017, according to NOAA online weather data for the station. The relatively small increase combined with the recency of the highs for the data series, however, makes one wonder about possible interference from developing heat island effects at the station, which is located near the increasingly busy Ford International Airport.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change figure of 1.53 degrees F is referenced here.
The data for Grand Rapids is shown below.

Mark Levin arrives at the truth: The US Senate has no purpose
He's saying so right now in the monologue, that since the 17th Amendment was passed the Senate has stopped functioning for the purpose for which the constitution had designed it.
It is indeed useless.
Popular election of senators made the US Senate a "Super House", which was a kind of a power grab away from the US House where popular power was distributed among many.
Now popular power is concentrated among few.
The Senate still acts as a barrier to the House's energy, but it no longer reflects the direct will of the state legislatures which once appointed them.

The city’s 311 non-emergency call service gets 50,000 calls a day, and the No. 1 complaint is noise.

No shit, Sherlock.

Mark Levin is elated that the DNC has sued the Trump campaign
The DNC idiots have thereby unwittingly opened the door to discovery, "the compulsory disclosure, by a party to an action, of relevant documents referred to by the other party".
