War between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Nile?
| |
The Middle East remains one of the world's top 'tinder' boxes of violence, religious controversy, and possibly war.
Irene, our Middle East Blogger, said there are hints that Egypt will go to war, but not with Israel this time. It is targeting Ethiopia which plans to dam the Nile River in Addis Ababa.
"This will surely reduce the water flow by the time it gets to Egypt," Irene wrote. She quoted Egypt President Morsi as saying he understood the need for development of 3rd world countries, but added Egypt won't accept any reduction of the flow of water in the Nile.
“Egypt does not want war with Ethiopia," he said, "but will keep all options open."
As the fighting in Syria continues, Israel is giving injured Syrian fighters 'the best medical care' available as they are moved to Israeli hospitals Read rest of Irene's blog - a Tenuous Peace - Life in Israel
That loud whoosing sound? Our tax dollars being shoveled to local hotel developer
Monday, 17 June 2013 18:39 | Last Updated on Wednesday, 19 June 2013 08:54 | |

Sure the council says the city will give a single developer $18 MILLION of our tax dollars to guarantee him a profit for his private pipe-dream of 'restoring' the old Cavalier on the Hill. And like a little child who might not get his way? The developer is holding the city's stupid leadership hostage: Give me the dough or I bring in a wrecking ball! O'Connor wants to know what the $18 MILLION includes: Interest? Based on past mismanagement, 'Probably not,' says O'Connor.
Is Obama and his panty-waisted, neutered anti-terror forces marching U.S. into WW III?

In the words of a potential 2016 US Presidential candidate, "What does it matter?" (Ed Note - when asked about aiding and abetting the murders of 4 Americans in Behghazi) Wait until Obama steps into WWIII, fighting the Russians, Hezbollah, Iran and possibly China in Syria and the world.

How one world, UN government has ruined the U.S. future

Dear Editor: We apologize for not remaining vigilant in protecting your freedom. We have allowed liberalism to redefine what America is without lifting a finger to stop this momentum. Though I have always voted since becoming eligible, I never wanted anything to do with politics; I was naive to the point of thinking that my government would always do the right thing to protect my freedom. That was a huge mistake. It was not until I heard candidate Obama say he wanted to fundamentally change America and talked of Joe the Plumber about redistributing the wealth that an alarm went off for me. That alarm said, “This is Communism.” Finally I woke up to reality and you must also if you are to remain free. The challenges ahead for you are great, but you must do all you can to stay alert and join with others for the fight of your life. Whatever you do, don’t put your head in the sand and pretend that everything will work out in the end. Be assured it will not. There were forces at work early in the 20th century to begin forming a one-world government. It began when the United Nations was formed to take up the mantle. The goal was to form a one-world government, a one-world currency and one-world religion.
