#China Sends #Warplanes

Posted in History, Politics, Science by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — China is going to the #moon. So, I guess, soon America will also be owing China money on the moon. Actually, the U.S. and China have a partnership in the space station and further space exploration. Meanwhile, the U.S. has taken it upon itself to fly into China’s new air defense zone.

However, I do not understand the mixed signals from the U.S. with its incursions into China’s air space. If the U.S. is encroaching upon China’s air space, it seems to put any space partnership in jeopardy.

Mixed signals.

Mixed signals.

Now, news is coming out of Washington that President Barack Obama is sending Vice President Joe Biden to China to talk out claims that the U.S. is encroaching upon China’s air space.

#France Sends Troops to Africa

Posted in History, News, Politics, Religion by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — In very interesting historic developments, I am surprised to hear that France is sending troops to Central African Republic where al-Qaida-linked Muslims are attacking Christian villages. These Muslim attacks are threatening genocide in a country which is in the heartland of the continent. This news of Christians being attacked like this, in my opinion, is biblically-prophetic because the scriptures prophesy such Christian persecution in the end times. I plan to follow this story in depth.

Plus, I want to see if media interest in these developments continues.

In other news, I am also surprized at the suspension by CBS of reporter Lara Logan. One of my all-time favorite investigative reporters, Logan was punished for being duped in a fake report about Benghazi. In an unrelated punishment, Alec Baldwin is being fired by MSNBC for his repeated attacks on paparazzi.

#Peggy’s Painting

Posted in Art, Family by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Below is a painting in the developmental stage being created by my sister, #Peggy, which she is posting as she goes. I thought that it might be interesting for some of my readers to also see it as it develops. I have been planning to buy an easel also for me, myself and I for some time now.

Here is what Peggy said recently:

In other art news, the Arabian State of Qatar recently purchased a Paul Cézanne painting, The Card Players, for more than $250 million. “The deal, in a single stroke, sets the highest price ever paid for a work of art and upends the modern art market,” said Vanity Fair. This sale more than doubles the previous record paid for a work of art.

Bought for $250M by Arabian State of Qatar.

By the way, on my way home just now I almost stopped at one of my favorite stops for that good ol’, N’Awlins home-style eating; but I opted for a place closer along my route. Also, I am somewhat on the Master Cleanse fast for a while. So, I thought that all the bread and meat that I usually eat at Parkway should wait for another day.

Time To Hit The #PanicButton

Posted in Love by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Is that a #PanicButton or is it THE BIG ONE? Too funny. What is that red button? I bought a toy red panic button years ago which gave off the sound of a real emergency alarm when you pressed it. I pressed it every time my girl friend acted “stupid” :). One day I came home and it was GONE! I knew that she threw it away. It had TOTALLY DISAPPEARED. I loved my panic button so much. Now, she has totally disappeared too 🙂 :). Why? Why, oh why did she leave me? BooHoo!

Red Button

I have tried several times since I lost my panic button to buy another toy panic button like the one I had. Cannot find one! Maybe I can Google search on the Internet to see if anyone still makes a nice toy panic button like that one with such a great emergency alarm like that. I loved it!! I could aggravate the hell out of people with it. Plus, whenever I was totally stressed out, I would press my panic button and it would help out every time because it made me laugh since the alarm sounded so real.

Hawking #Pelican Tickets

Posted in Sports by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — The ink has not even dried yet on the #Pelicans 110 to 90 debacle vs. Orlando. Already, they are hawking tickets for tomorrow night’s game vs. Charlotte in the New Orleans Arena. They should be ashamed of themselves. When is the owner going to fire this Pelicans’ horrible coach, Monty Williams. They brought in a ton of new players, changed the team name, redid the Arena, etc. Are they going to enjoy another whole year of being in last place in their division with the same dumb coach? DUMBBB!!!

In other news, some people’s wishes may soon be answered from Washington D.C. In fact, many people across the country might consider this welcomed news. It sure would keep thousands of individuals from crowding U.S. jails for such minor offenses. Jails are already overcrowded with real criminals.

Too bad that I will not be able to go to the Songwriters Festival this week. I have previous engagements which preclude my visit.

UPDATE: I just read that the storm in the Philippines caused flooding up to 50 ft. high. That is unbelievable.

#TedCruz Makes Me Sick

Posted in News, Politics by

Looking at #TedCruz makes me sick. I changed the channel to a movie. The Health Care Reform Act was passed by Congress and affirmed by the Supreme Court. It is the law of the land. Is Ted Cruz STUPID? To change a law takes the legal, Constitutional process which was established since the birth of the nation. The process is NOT: totally SHUTTING DOWN OUR COUNTRY AND ECONOMY!! CNN reports that Cruz says he may not however block a House vote on the deal.

Such hatred and disruption by Cruz and the Tea Baggers is as un-American as terrorism against the state. Thank God that I am not the president because I know that I would start rounding up all of these enemies of the state, and throwing them in jail. For one thing, the Health Care Reform Act is a duly passed law of the country. Shutting down the country and the economy was not what the Founding Fathers envisioned as the Constitutional method of changing laws.

A Cajun Joke, #WhoDat

Posted in Sports by

Since our #WhoDatNation is in such a grand funk this awful Monday, I have decided to put a little smile on your faces. I hope that you enjoy my little joke. I am hurting badly too because the game was stolen from the 5-1 New Orleans Saints. We need a little bit of humor today. The agony of the feet is just too much to bear.

I am hurting badly too because the referees were definitely cheating for the New England Patriots. Those hoes! We should be 6-0 instead of 5-1. I believe in stringing up referees. The REFS from yesterday’s New Orleans Saints vs. Patriots game need to be hung from the nearest Magnolia tree. Those refs definitely stole the game from the Saints.

Seal Team Six Attacks Al-Shabaab Hideout

Moktar Ali Zubeyr

The Somalia home of Al-Shabaab leader Sheikh Moktar Ali Zubeyr was stormed by members of Seal Team Six on Saturday (Somalia time) in an early-morning raid. Also known as Ahmad Abdi Godane, Zubeyr leads the Al-Qaeda splitter group Al-Shabaab which is responsible for the Kenyan Westgate Mall attack last month. 

According to reports, a U.S. Special forces team led by Seal Team Six landed by speedboat at the shoreline home of Zubeyr in an assault in which the American forces eventually decided to pull back after coming under heavy fire. An Al-Shabaab spokesman said that at least one member of his group died in the gun battle.

A U.S. official said that no members of the Navy SEAL team were killed or hurt; but the SEALs inflicted some Al-Shabaab casualties. Americans did not know if their main target was dead or alive.

Meanwhile, news of a second, simultaneous raid in Libya has led Islamic militants to threaten U.S. citizens and interests in Libya. In the U.S special forces raid on Tripoli, Abu Anas al-Libi, a suspect in the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, was captured outside his house on Saturday and is now in custody aboard a US Navy ship.

What a Nice #Party

Posted in Entertainment, Family, Love by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — I am remembering a recent party at which I had a grand ol’ time. In fact, everyone had a grand ol’ time. There is a short video of me that I may add to this post in the next day or so. It will make you laugh. I have to decide if the video makes me look like a defect, at which point I may decide not to post it.

Everyone is standing in line above in order to enter into the festivities. They do not realize yet what fun is in store for them. I plan to put up more pics soon. Plus, below, here is a thought for Tuesday afternoon after the New Orleans Saints big victory last night.

 

Speaking of New Orleans (haha), I read this afternoon that drinking beer may be good for your bones. Isn’t that great news for New Orleanians?

@BIGheadCREOLE Spouts #Wisdom

Posted in Family by

I recently read a tweet by my nephew #@BIGheadCREOLE and wanted to know if his words were true. Albert Einstein created the theory of relativity. Maybe @BIGheadCREOLE has come up with a new theory that might make him famous. Will his theory stand the test of time?

Plus, I found another one of his tweets that I am studying. I think that it is very deep, but I will have to ask him about it next time I see him. This tweet might be deep, but it might also show some real tenderness. I cannot tell.

In other news from around the world, I read a story this morning about a case of modern-day slavery which has been occurring in Wales. From time to time we do hear about instances of slavery in different parts of the world. In fact, such hidden cases may be more prevalent than anyone could imagine.
