#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.

#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.

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.

Wet Weather in N’Awlins

New Orleans (Gazette) — Saturday morning is seeing it’s share of ugly weather in and around New Orleans. The exact extent of the system is listed by WWL below.

In other news, it is amazing to me how women can multi-task so well. In my experiences, I find that females have a real knack at multi-tasking. In general, men tend to do one thing at a time; and concentrate on that job in particular. Females drive me crazy when I watch them do 4 or 5 things at the same time. What a balancing act!

Man, what a beautiful horse. I had to post this.
