Egypt’s foreign minister issued a communique from Cairo calling on the United States to show respect for the protesters and rioters in Ferguson, Missouri. That completely makes it official. After six years of Hope and Change you can’t tell the Mideast from the Midwest.

Obama interrupted his vacation to go on TV last week to denounce ISIS and order airstrikes. He ripped into the enemy, ordered executive action, then played eighteen holes of golf. Isn’t the whole idea of a vacation to get away from your regular everyday routine?

The White House announced it has begun military surveillance flights over Syria in search of ISIS positions. The president has decided to aid the rebel New Syrian Army in its battle against ISIS. If you don’t know who the rebel New Syrian Army is, it’s our allies that we’ll be fighting next year.

The Pentagon stepped up the bombing of the ISIS terrorist army in Iraq following a video of an ISIS jihadist beheading a U.S. journalist. It reflected White House anger. The bombing mission was a clear message to ISIS never to interrupt the president’s vacation again.

Fox News reported that ISIS officials in Iraq issued a statement online warning Americans and Westerners they are no longer safe on the sea, in the air, or on the land. They are a little late. Carnival Cruises, Malaysian Airlines and Toyota already took care of that.

Obama returned from his vacation Monday with the world coming apart at the seams. He’s fighting charges he’s aloof and disconnected. After his news briefing Tuesday, Obama confidently predicted America will be out of the Ice Bucket Challenge by 2017.

Obama prepared to sign the U.S. onto a U.N. climate change treaty with no Senate vote. This on top of the Bergdahl trade, illegal Obamacare add-ons, and the IRS targeting opponents. So much for First Tee’s claim that golf teaches you to play life by the rules.

Libya’s government asked for international help Sunday, saying it can no longer protect its oil fields. There was rioting and chaos everywhere. Hillary Clinton just called for calm in Libya, since nothing calms an enraged Arab nation like a powerful woman ordering it around.

Joe Biden said the U.S. is considering sending U.S. troops to the Baltic states that border Russia to check any further Russian advances. This is his region of expertise.

Rap mogul Suge Knight is recovering at Cedars Sinai hospital after he was shot six times at a rap party in West Hollywood. It’s all good. There was a huge a sigh of relief after the hospital issued a bulletin assuring Al Sharpton that the nearest white cop was half a mile away.

Obama issued a statement Sunday after seeing the damage from the six-point earthquake in Napa Valley. He said he was deeply moved. It’s the funniest thing out of this White House since Joe Biden saw the Joplin tornado damage and said he was blown away.

Mexico’s president paid a state visit to California a month after Governor Brown paid a state visit to Mexico. It’s an annual exchange. Once a year California’s governor goes to Mexico to visit our jobs and once a year Mexico’s president comes to California to visit his people.

The New York Times announced it will refuse to print the name Washington Redskins in its sports section. The editor says the name is associated with imperial conquest, cultural genocide and racism. From now on, the newspaper will simply refer to the team as the Redskins.
