Kim Jong Un's Daughter Rising in North Korea as Likely Successor: Analyst

The frequent appearances of Kim Ju Ae—daughter of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—alongside her father, paired with honorifics traditionally reserved for leadership, may signal she is already being groomed for power, according to one analyst.
Speculation continues to swirl around the girl, believed to be named Ju Ae, and whether she could be positioned as the fourth Kim in the ruling dynasty, instead of her powerful aunt, Kim Yo Jong.
Newsweek reached out to the North Korean embassy in Beijing via email for comment.
Why It Matters
Though nothing is certain about the opaque palace politics in the reclusive country, some analysts say she increasingly appears to be preferred over Kim Yo Jong, 37, the regime's propaganda chief and long seen as a strong candidate for the role. Either would become the first female leader of the intensely patriarchal government.
South Korean intelligence has assessed that Kim Jong Un, believed to weigh over 300 pounds and be a smoker, is diabetic and at high risk for heart disease. If his health deteriorates, his successor will inherit control of North Korea's nuclear arsenal and decide how to navigate the country's tense relationship with the South.
What To Know
Ju Ae made her public debut at a missile launch in 2022. Now thought to be in her early teens, she has accompanied the elder Kim for dozens of other appearances.
Her continued appearance at official functions with her father, including diplomatic events, suggests with increasing confidence her selection as heir apparent, Cho Han-bum, senior research fellow at the Seoul-based Institute for National Unification, told Yonhap News Agency.

Korean Central News Agency
Most recently, the teen attended a May 9 ceremony at the Russian embassy marking the end of World War II in Europe. In its report on the event, state-run Korean Central News Agency referred to her as "most beloved daughter."
"She is essentially playing the role of North Korea's First Lady," Cho said. "Considering she has participated in more than 40 official activities over the past two and a half years and her rising status both domestically and internationally, there is no longer any doubt about the progress of Kim Ju Ae's succession process."
State media has also previously described her as a "person of guidance." Kim himself has referred to her as the "Morning Star General." In North Korean political rhetoric, the term "morning star" has been used figuratively to describe an up-and-coming leader.
What People Are Saying
South Korean legislator Lee Seong-kweun cited South Korea's spy agency as saying last July: "Pyongyang is teaching Kim Ju Ae to be heir apparent, indicating she's the most likely successor."
What Happens Next
It remains to be seen how the succession will unfold. Some North Korea watchers have cautioned that while Ju Ae's visibility is unprecedented, it may be less about power dynamics than about reinforcing Kim Jong Un's image as a father and leader of a stable ruling bloodline.

Seine River School Division finds surplus at end of error-filled financial ‘roller-coaster'
After 18 months of widespread disruption tied to budgeting errors, a rural school division says it's on track to get out of the red sooner than expected — thanks in part to what officials admit were 'over-corrections.' The Seine River School Division provided staff members and student families with an unexpected update on its financial health late Tuesday. The Lorette-based board office, which recorded a $4.1-million surprise deficit in 2023-2024, is projected to end June with a surplus ranging between $2 million and $2.5 million. Senior administration is attributing the U-turn to a second major miscalculation in financial planning in just as many years. 'It doesn't give our kids back the year that they needed or make sure that kids are hitting their educational targets,' said Alexina Key, a mother of four school-aged children in St. Norbert. Key said she is frustrated and in disbelief about the reocurring mistakes that have resulted in significant staffing and programming cuts, as well as finger-pointing at previous leaders. An external probe initiated by Manitoba Education in early 2024 found decision-maker oversights and high turnover on Seine River's superintendent team were to blame for shoddy projections built into the 2023-2024 budget. The financial fiasco, first made public in November 2023, has led to reduced school budgets and administrative spending and the end of a free, extended-day kindergarten program known as Kids at Play. Area schools stopped lending iPads outside instructional hours to find technology-related savings. They also introduced fees for busing, extracurriculars and optional courses to balance the budget. 'Over-corrections were made in some areas, and we recognize the impact this situation has had, especially on staff members who were affected by job changes, families who lost access to valued programs, and students who were not able to receive some services or who were placed on waitlists,' states a new letter signed by chief superintendent Colin Campbell and Wendy Bloomfield, chair of the board of trustees. The June 10 memo said an internal review over the winter months identified an error in the current budget that was developed under previous administrators. Corrected data show the division will eliminate its deficit a year ahead of schedule, it said. '(Budget cuts) were made in good faith based on the information available at the time. Even so, the consequences were real, and we are committed to doing better,' it added. Campbell, who joined the division in December, is the sixth person to serve in the division's top administrative role since the summer of 2021. Four years ago, the looming threat of Bill 64 — the former Progressive Conservative government's ultimately failed plan to amalgamate divisions — sparked an exodus from the board office in Lorette. It has has been a revolving-door workplace since. The last two years have especially been a 'roller-coaster,' said Bloomfield, one of the longest-serving school trustees in the province with more than 40 years of experience. 'We're not happy to have to come forward with this and say, 'There's another calculation error,' but it is what it is,' the 12-term trustee told the Free Press. She and Campbell said their team shared an update on Tuesday to be transparent, rebuild trust and show they have nothing to hide. They indicated an extra $3 million was unecessarily budgeted for staffing at one school in the division encompassing Ile des Chênes, Ste. Anne and surrounding communities in southeastern Manitoba. Campbell said decision-makers need to be 'good stewards' of their newfound savings, adding it would not be responsible to immediately rehire staff or reinstate programs with recurring costs. Jonathan Waite, president of the local teachers union, said he is encouraged about the division's 'up front' discovery and early elimination of the deficit. Waite said in a vague statement that he will continue to discuss the matter with Campbell, and he is looking forward to what lies ahead in 2025-2026. Campbell has pledged to increase communication on financial planning with managers of all kinds, and ensure more people review estimates in the future. Seine River will be subject to an independent audit in the coming months as part of Manitoba's annual budget-oversight process for its 38 school boards. A spokesperson for the Department of Education indicated officials were made aware of the latest budget challenges in Seine River. 'You don't get into the school trustee game unless you care. That is a pretty thankless job when it comes to politics, but the lack of accountability and the flip-flopping…. It makes it hard to be thankful,' said Key, a mother of children in grades 4, 7, 9 and 10. She noted that the current board, which was formed after the 2022 municipal elections, has overseen all of the financial problems. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Whole Hog Politics: Trump enlists the military for politics
On the menu: Going nuclear; Fore!; Newsom uses Trump to get back in Dems' good graces; Moonbeam to moderate?; Masked bandit America's largest military base has had four names in the past five years. In 2023, the Biden administration rechristened the base in North Carolina as Fort Liberty, replacing the name given to it in 1918 by resentful Southerners in the Army who honored Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg. In early 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that it would be Fort Bragg again, but with a twist. It would be for Roland Bragg, a hero paratrooper from Maine who served in World War II, rather than the bumbling Confederate general. Then this week, President Trump undid the twist and made it plain that the base, and all the others named for Confederates that had been changed by Trump's predecessor, were going back to their original namesakes. And he did it as part of what could only be described as political speech at Fort Bragg to an audience of soldiers who were screened for their political allegiances and responded with wild cheers for Trump's attacks on his political rivals. It all put me in mind of the Immovable Ladder of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Acclaimed since at least the fourth century as the site of the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth, the church building has been under the joint governance of Greek, Coptic, Ethiopian and Syriac Orthodox sects, the Armenian Apostolic church and the Roman Catholics since the days of the Ottomans. Outside a window on the second story of the church, there is a rough, wooden ladder that has been there since at least 1721. No one knows when or why the ladder was placed there, but they do know that under the uneasy power-sharing arrangement between the sects, no one has the unilateral authority to move it, nor can anyone obtain the unanimous consent necessary to do so licitly. So fearful are the custodians of the church that any violations of the truce will end in rupture or even violence, that they do nothing. And so, the ladder has sat in the dry desert air for longer than the United States has been a nation. Now, you can't run a nation like a pilgrimage church, and certainly not a nation's military. A lot more than ladders have to get moved to keep the planet's apex power in position. But the ladder does, ahem, lead up to a valuable way of thinking about how to treat even minor issues when tensions and stakes are high. When things can be left alone, it is often wise to leave them be. The re-Confederate-ing of the military bases in the South is a small thing on its own, but so was their vestigial connection to the Confederacy in the first place. Other than Fort Robert E. Lee in Virginia, none of the other namesakes had lingered on in popular memory, except for perhaps Bragg's fellow bungler, George Pickett, most famous for a failed infantry charge. Joe Biden could have left those ladders leaning, but wanted to make a point. Now Trump has made the counterpoint, and we might expect that the next Democratic president may want to make the counter-counterpoint. None of that will make the American military better, but it will make it more political, and that's very bad news. Americans have long been suspicious about the idea of having a large standing army. One of the reasons it took us so long to get into the fray in World War II was that public sentiment demanded a nearly complete demobilization after World War I. For most of American history, the idea that there would be more than a million active-duty troops stationed inside the borders of the United States would have been a very unappealing one. Standing armies are expensive and, as the history of the world shows with crushing frequency, dangerous to the liberty of citizens. And yet, America's military is massively popular. An impressive 79 percent of U.S. adults said in a recent poll that they have confidence in the military to act in the public's best interests. Compare that with just 22 percent for the federal government as a whole, 47 percent for the Supreme Court, 26 percent for the presidency and 9 percent for Congress. It might be said that our military is the only federal institution that is actually succeeding these days, but certainly it is the only part of it that is broadly popular, enjoying strong public support regardless of which party is in power at any given time. That is because in the era of large standing armies since the start of the Cold War and especially since the institution of the all-volunteer force after the Vietnam War, our civilian and military leaders have worked very hard to keep politics out of the military. Even as the greedy goblins of partisanship ripped the wiring out of every other institution that worked, the military has stood apart. Lots of bad things happen in countries when the military is the only stable part of the government, but our highly professional, scrupulously restrained, civilian-controlled military has done an exceptionally good job of staying out of domestic politics. But now, domestic politics has stopped returning the favor. Trump's decision to host a massive military demonstration in the streets of Washington on Saturday would have been a dubious choice under any circumstances. The occasion is the Army's 250th birthday, which also happens to fall on the president's 79th birthday. Trump will review a force of 6,600 troops and 150 vehicles including Abrams tanks, Paladins and Strykers, as well as Black Hawk, Apache and Chinook helicopters overhead as they pass in front of the White House. It's something Trump wanted in his first term, but was refused by military leaders who said it would be too expensive and send the wrong message about the military's relationship to the government. Rolling tanks through the capital city just isn't something Americans typically do, until now. Also in the category of Trump this week realizing unachieved goals from his first term is his mobilization of the military to suppress riots. In the summer of 2020, Trump was stymied in his efforts to use military force to smash the riots that followed in the wake of the George Floyd protests. The protesters in Los Angeles, and the copycats that one assumes will follow at other protests against federal deportation raids, have given Trump the chance to finish another unrealized goal of his first term. You may think what Trump is doing with the protesters and rioters is correct, and it may even end up being considered legal, but the timing sure does stink. Does anyone imagine that, rightly or wrongly, the bipartisan esteem for the military won't take a hit in all this? Setting up clashes between the Marines and Americans at the same time as the president held a political rally for himself at an Army base and just ahead of a massive military parade down Constitution Avenue doesn't exactly reinforce the idea of an apolitical military. Indeed, one of the best reasons to not politicize the military is so that when a commander in chief has to use our forces in controversial ways, it can be free of any taint. If you want to be able to send the Marines to Compton, you'd better pass on the political spectacles. Biden's name games with the bases or the use of the military to advance domestic political issues certainly didn't help. He moved the ladder, and now Trump is picking it up and smashing it through a window. If our political leaders keep at this, we will end up with what Americans for so long feared: a partisan military. No good can ever come of that. Holy croakano!

The Athletic: 'There's a story about Oakmont Country Club the members love to tell. And they're right to tell it. Because it's the perfect story about the hardest golf course in America, the place just outside of Pittsburgh that is hosting the U.S. Open this week. It's the perfect story about the Fownes family, the father and son who built this course and believed so deeply in the sanctity of par that the famous W.C. Fownes' line goes: 'A shot poorly played should be a shot irrevocably lost.' And this story? The people of Oakmont always believed it to be factual. Until very recently. 'Well …' Oakmont historian David Moore says with a chuckle. 'There's a little debate about that right now.' It goes like this …' PRIME CUTS In Trump showdown, Newsom gets chance to dispel notions of appeasement: NBC News: 'The battle between the president and the governor of the country's largest state instantly turned [Gavin Newsom] into the face of resistance to President Donald Trump's expansive interpretation of the authorities of his office and mass-deportation campaign. Newsom, who is a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, has been taking heavy criticism from within his own party over his efforts — in part through his new podcast — to cast himself in the role of conciliator. … On Monday, California sued Trump for using emergency powers to deploy National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area over the weekend. Trump, citing a statute that allows the president to activate the guard to repel a foreign invasion or quell a rebellion, accused Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of failing to protect federal agents and property from demonstrators.' Cuomo nabs Bloomberg backing with less than two weeks to go: New York Times: 'Former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on Tuesday announced that he was backing former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in the New York City mayor's race, giving Mr. Cuomo an endorsement coveted by many of the Democratic candidates in the race. Mr. Bloomberg has a long record of helping Democratic candidates. … But he has mostly avoided endorsing mayoral candidates at the primary level in New York City, making his backing of Mr. Cuomo more notable. … The endorsement may also persuade some undecided voters who have criticisms of Mr. Cuomo's handling of the pandemic or who may have misgivings over his sexual harassment scandal, which led to his resignation as governor of New York in 2021. … Mr. Cuomo has led in polls ahead of the June 24 Democratic primary. But he has faced a surprisingly strong challenge from Zohran Mamdani, a state lawmaker from Queens and a democratic socialist. The endorsement comes two days before the second and final candidate debate on Thursday. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Mr. Mamdani last week, and polls show the race narrowing.' Voters don't find beauty in Trump's big bill: The Hill: 'More than half of voters oppose the domestic policy bill that President Trump has pushed Republicans in Congress to pass by July 4, according to a poll released Wednesday. Quinnipiac University's national survey found less than a third of registered voters surveyed support Trump's agenda-setting One Big Beautiful Bill Act, while 53 percent oppose the legislation.' New Jersey gubernatorial race set for Ciattarelli and Sherrill: Associated Press: 'Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who had President Donald Trump's endorsement, and Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill won their primary elections in New Jersey's race for governor, setting the stage for a November election, poised to be fought in part over affordability and the president's policies… New Jersey has been reliably Democratic in Senate and presidential contests for decades. But the odd-year races for governor have tended to swing back and forth, and each of the last three GOP governors has won a second term.' SHORT ORDER Daughter of longtime Maine Rep. Chellie Pingree (D) joins crowded Democratic gubernatorial primary—WMTW After Tennessee Rep. Mark Green (R) announces plan to quit, a crowded field forms—Tennessee Lookout Youngkin sets Sept. 9 special election to fill Connolly's seat in Congress—Virginia Mercury Iowa state Sen. Zach Wahls (D) announces challenge to Republican Sen. Joni Ernst—The Hill TABLE TALK 'Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade.' 'The voters know who I am.' — Atlantic City, N.J., Mayor Marty Small Sr. explaining his primary victory in his reelection campaign, despite facing multiple criminal indictments along with his wife, Atlantic City School District Superintendent La'Quetta Small. Mayor Small has been in office since 2019, when his predecessor resigned after pleading guilty to wire fraud. MAILBAG 'Democrats should run the closest carbon copy of former California Gov. Jerry Brown that they can find: if not the 87-year-old man himself. Jerry transformed himself from Governor Moonbeam to a wise, fiscally responsible leader. After seven years in office, Brown turned a $27 million deficit into a $13.8 billion rainy day fund, which [Gov. Gavin Newsom] has quickly blown through, bringing us to a $12 billion deficit. As an American and conservative Republican, I would have no problem voting for a Jerry act-alike.' — Peter S. Krimmell, Glendora, Calif. Mr. Krimmell, I think that is very much what your current governor has in mind! National Republicans scoff and sneer at Newsom's recent reinvention as a foe of the excesses of wokeness and socialism, but he seems very much to have in mind a Brown-like reinvention. It certainly doesn't match with his record, especially on the fiscal matter to which you refer, but he would hardly be the first politician to undergo an ideological overhaul before seeking public office. Newsom's may be jarring to Republicans, but if he could somehow get through a progressive-leaning Democratic primary electorate (a big if), it might be hard to convince persuadable voters that he, a career-long flip-flopper, was actually a true believer in anything. Newsom's career prior to 2018 as member of the board of supervisors and then mayor in San Francisco or as Brown's lieutenant governor all point to a kind of squishy, corporatist, Clintonite Democrat. It seems much more believable that he was faking his radicalism in service of his ambitions within a radicalizing state party than that he had simply been suppressing his inner extremist for the previous 20 years. If the current and no doubt extended showdown with the Trump administration gives Newsom sufficient standing with the left, he might find it possible to shift his policy positions back to the center without disqualifying himself entirely with the Democrats' activist base. Donald Trump's rapid public ideological positioning from moderate Democrat to Reform Party to conservative Republican to pure populism suggests that many voters care little about consistency if they have a strong emotional attachment to the candidate. The more likely outcome is that Newsom will trip on his shoelaces amid all that fancy footwork, but stranger things have happened. All best, c 'I don't always agree with your conclusions but very much appreciate your view of both sides of an issue. Do you ever do personal appearances and public presentations? Also, what is 'Holy Croakano.'' — J. Stan Carpenter, Concord, N.C. Mr. Carpenter, I do get around a good bit for speeches and talks at colleges, etc. I don't know of anything near you or in the Charlotte area anytime soon, but keep a lookout. The more important question, though, is about croakano! I don't have a sufficient etymology for the word — pronounced kind of like volcano: cro-kuh-no. It is an excited utterance or interjection: a mild oath used in place of a more vulgar or blasphemous word. It came to me as a county colloquialism used by my father and, at least, his father before him in Cumberland County, Ill. Did they even have it when my branch of the Stirewalts left North Carolina in the 1820s? Who knows? There was a popular Canadian board game from the 19th century called crokinole, the name for which is thought to be from the French word croquignole, for a small biscuit. How that would have made itself into croakano and gotten to the crossroads town of Timothy, Ill., circa 1900 I couldn't guess, or it may be a false lead altogether.

Rain or shine? Trump offers update on weather's impact on military parade
Rain or shine? Trump offers update on weather's impact on military parade The National Weather Service forecast for Washington D.C. on June 14 has a 50% chance of rain, with thunderstorms possible Show Caption Hide Caption Army Golden Knights parachute team practices for military parade The Army's Golden Knights parachute team has been preparing for months to perform at the 250th anniversary military parade. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said this weekend's military parade in the nation's capital is a rain or shine event as forecasts show the potential for bad weather on parade day. "I hope the weather's okay, but actually if it's not, that brings you good luck, and that's okay, too," Trump said June 12 in discussing the parade during the congressional picnic at the White House. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't affect the tanks at all, it doesn't affect the soldiers. They're used to it. They're tough. Smart." Earlier in the day, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said there will be a military celebration "no matter what." 'Any changes to the Army Birthday Parade will be announced by the Department of Defense or America 250 Commission. No matter what, a historic celebration of our military servicemembers will take place!' Kelly said. The National Weather Service forecast for Washington D.C. on June 14 has a 50% chance of rain. The forecast says it will be mostly cloudy with a high of 83. Thunderstorms are possible. Trump is planning a large military parade through the streets of Washington D.C. June 14 on the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. It's also his 79th birthday. The second-term president described it as a "grand parade" in his picnic remarks, adding: "I don't think we've ever seen the likes of what you're going to see." The parade is drawing comparisons to authoritarian regimes, with Sen. Adam Schiff, D-California, calling it a "dictator-style military parade." Protesters are staging "No Kings" demonstrations across the country against Trump on the day of the parade. "President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength," a statement on the "No Kings" website reads. "But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else." The Army's initial estimate for the parade covered a range from $25 million to $45 million. But the estimate has been refined as the event nears and includes damage to streets and infrastructure anticipated from heavy armored vehicles, according to a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly. The $40 million in taxpayer dollars will fund a parade featuring Abrams tanks, vintage World War II warplanes and thousands of soldiers marching in period uniforms to mark the nation's battles from the Revolutionary War to the present. A reviewing stand is being erected for Trump south of the White House. The Army has also shipped tanks from Texas by railroad to Washington for the parade, and soldiers from other posts around the country. They are being housed downtown in government buildings transformed into makeshift barracks with thousands of cots. Contributing: Tom Vanden Brook, Joey Garrison
