Well, here’s news. Just don’t shoot the messenger.
Egypt tried to broker another cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Again. Hamas shot rockets. Israel walked.
Women are being sold as sex slaves in Iraq.
But, it’s okay because Iran has five seats on UN Human Rights Committees.
Kidnapped American journalist James Wright Foley was just beheaded by ISIS within the last couple of hours.
The Miami Herald has more important things to report.
The President sends FBI agents to Ferguson to search for “civil rights” crimes in the aftermath of the shooting death of an unarmed black man, after he allegedly robbed a convenience store.
While completely ignoring the fact that an unarmed Rabbi was murdered in broad daylight near North Miami Beach, while minding his own business.
Team Irony is reporting that Egypt has weighed in on Ferguson, reminding Obama to “exercise restraint in dealing with racially charged demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri – echoing language Washington used to caution Egypt as it cracked down on Islamist protesters last year.”
While the Ayatollah Khameini tweeted:
Based on global statistics,US govt is the biggest violator of #HumanRights. Besides int’l crimes,it commits crimes against its ppl.#Ferguson

I completely agree with everything you said, Stephanie. People need to wake up and see what’s going on in the world around them before it’s too late. You missed the fact that our Prez was out golfing while the highest ranking soldier since the Vietnam War was was laid to rest, and out Vice Prez was on vacation too. Some people need to wait to get shot when the highest officials in our land are not on vacation. Some people will get the attention of the Prez no matter what he’s doing. Sorry for the rambling but I’m furious.
No need to apologize, Ruth. I have been furious. Mostly about the vicious murder of an American journalist by the very same terrorists that the president deemed “junior varsity.” Americans do need to wake up to the fact that there is no coincidence between the rise of anti-Semitism and the growing threat of a worldwide caliphate. ISIS is that threat, and they are now infiltrating our borders.

All of this makes the petty crap that goes on here in North Miami and NMB even pettier.
