The American media isn’t even keeping track of the death toll of so called “Easter Worshipers’ in the Sri Lanka terrorist attack this past Easter Sunday. The death toll is now up to 359 people, with nearly 1000 others injured. Americans were among the victims in this radical Islam terrorist attack. Even with continued increase in causalities, this doesn’t seem to interest communist Democrat Ocasio-Cortez who hasn’t tweeted one thing about this past weekend’s Sri Lanka terrorist attack that killed Americans. Either Ocasio-Cortez is too stupid to think about what to say or she doesn’t care. Normally, I’d go with the stupid part, but in this case, she simply doesn’t give a shit, like other Democrats.

Sri Lanka’s president has asked for the resignations of the defence secretary and national police chief, a dramatic internal shakeup after security forces shrugged off intelligence reports warning of possible attacks before Easter bombings that killed over 350 people, the president’s office said Wednesday.
It wasn’t immediately clear who would be replacing them, but President Maithripala Sirisena said during a televised speech Tuesday that he planned to change the head of the defence forces within 24 hours.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has claimed responsibility for the attacks on Christians worshipping in three churches and people at three luxury hotels. Authorities remain unsure of its involvement, though many suspect experienced foreign militants were advising, funding or guiding the attackers.
Sri Lanka’s junior defence minister has blamed breakaway members of two obscure local extremist Muslim groups, and said many of the suicide bombers were highly educated and came from well-off families.
“Their thinking is that Islam can be the only religion in this country,” RuwanWijewardene told reporters. “They are quite well-educated people,” he said, adding that at least one had a law degree, and some may have studied in the U.K. and Australia.
