China’s ambassador to the US has called on Washington to stop making continuous threats over North Korea and “do more” to build bridges of understanding and negotiation instead.

“Honestly, I think the United States should be doing… much more than now, so that there’s real effective international cooperation on this issue,” Ambassador Cui Tiankai told reporters at an embassy event on Friday.

“They should refrain from issuing more threats. They should do more to find effective ways to resume dialogue and negotiation,” he said.

Instead, we get this:

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warned earlier this week that the US could impose economic sanctions on China if it does not implement the new sanctions regime against North Korea. The restrictions could involve cutting off China’s access to the US financial system, Mnuchin said.

Meanwhile, we have a numerological Christian calling for the end of the world on September 23.  (Fox News:  Biblical prophecy claims the world will end on Sept. 23, Christian numerologists claim)

Sept. 23 is a date that was pinpointed using codes from the Bible, as well as a "date marker" in the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. - David Meade

It's unknown if Donald Trump's bible study group in the White House is aware of any date markers in  the Egyptian pyramids but it seems prudent to learn of them when they advise of so much.  Trump could spare himself a whole lot of his infantile posturing when he considers the world is going to blow up anyway.

Zen Yogi:  but that way Trump doesn't get to blow the world up since Planet X is how the end will come

There's no proof Planet X even exists, Yogi.

Zen Yogi:  when are you aware of facts having anything to do with fundamentalist logic?

Fair enough, bear buddy.  It doesn't matter so much to me anymore but I rather hoped they would take better care of the place than that.

Zen Yogi:  I'm hungry

Me too, Yogi.
