Dennis Rodman, the madman of basketball, has traveled to North Korea with an all-star basketball team to play for the ruthless dictator's birthday. North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un will receive a birthday present of famous ballers such as Kenny Anderson, Vin Baker and ex-Knick Charles D. Smith. This is the same Kim Jong Un who just recently had his uncle executed for political reasons. Uncle Jang Song Thaek was executed and thrown into a cage of wild dogs that feasted on his body, so reports say. Rodman and team will play on.
Then there was the shocking news of Miss Venezuela, Monica Spear and her ex-husband, found shot dead on the side of the road in what appeared to be an armed robbery in South America. Spear ,29, was educated in Florida and was a famous soap opera star. Not a good start to a new year for her family and friends.
And then the news of USA gold medalist Lindsey Vonn who will not be participating in this years' Olympics. She was hoping to defend her gold medal in down hill skiing but a bad knee that requires surgery will keep her away.
These are the trending headlines for Jan. 07, 2014. A scant 7 days into the year and we have some tough news on the horizon.
I didn't even touch on Falluja and the downfall of everything our American soldiers died for in Iraq. The same cities we fought to secure are falling into the hands of anti-Iraq government militants. By some reports it was expected and warranted. The USA protected the Sunni, while placing power in the Shiite hands. Now those hands are turning hell fire missiles on the Sunni. That's some tough politics.
2014 is only 7 days old and things are heading south in a hurry.
