I don’t know if you pronounce it “PONED” or “OWNED,” but I think it’s clear President Trump is the winner of the North Korea negotiation. Or non-negotiation.

He got the hostages out. He got North Korea to blow up the nuclear test mountain. And Kim Jong Un gets nothing in return. He doesn’t even get his selfie in Singapore.

That should be worth a Nobel Prize and an Oscar.

However, the most amazing part of this whole thing is the reason Trump canceled.

In a letter to Kim Jong Un, Trump blamed the “tremendous anger and open hostility” by Pyongyang as the reason for canceling. Trump was referencing North Korea’s statement calling Vice President Mike Pence a ‘political dummy’ and warning of nuclear conflict.

Think about that: Trump canceled because Kim Jong Un was angry, made a nuclear threat, and called somebody a bad name.

Trump canceled because Kim Jong Un behaved like he does!

I realize that if this does lead to nuclear war it won’t seem nearly as funny, but you have to take your moments when you can.

Ross: Are we killing car culture? Or is car culture killing the US?

I don’t think the question is whether we're going to "kill" our car culture. The real question is can we stop our car culture from killing the U.S.?

Every move you make, every swerve you take, every lane change you fake – someone’s watching you. Do drivers have a right to keep driving data private?
