Four year old Park Jung-Hae named DPRK's youngest Hero of Socialist Labor for denouncing buckwheat hoarding plot of traitorous grandparents.
Boastful windsack Donald Trump undergoes womanly conniptions following setback in Wisconsin province, to dismay of his bootlicking flunkies.

Korean Central News Agency

Kim Jong Un Sends Letter to Participants in 4th Conference of Frontrunners of Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement
Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- Supreme leader Kim Jong Un sent a letter "Let Us Bring About a Fundamental Turn in the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement in Line with the Demands of the Developing Revolution" to those attending the Fourth Conference of Frontrunners in the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement on November 20, Juche 104 (2015).
The full text of the letter says:
In this stirring period, when the whole Party, the entire army and all the people have turned out in the general offensive in hearty response to the Party's militant call to greet the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as the apex of the revolution noteworthy in its history, the Fourth Conference of Frontrunners in the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement is being held on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the launch of this movement.
