Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For
July 28, 2016.
Only 176 days to go in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term and 236 days since hiding Hillary has
held a formal press conference (where is the outrage of the press?) a fact
which Trump pointed out yesterday morning at his press conference of over an
hour in front of a potentially hostile press in what has to rank as one of the
best press conferences this poet has witnessed in a very long time; feel sorry
that a true patriot Leon Panetta was drowned out by rabid attendees at the DNC;
Trump was slammed again and again by Blumberg, Biden and Obama as not being fit
to be president while Obama insulting the legacies of Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Adams, Eisenhower and LBJ touted Hillary as the most qualified person
ever to run for president (she is certainly more qualified than Obama but other
than that quite a stretch); a tidbit on the DNC is that per a Hillary edict, no
uniformed police were to be seen in the CNC hall; Trump is not going dark and
is on the stump today; three days into the convention and not a word on ISIS as
the world remains in flames due to this radical Islamist ideology—we need to
start praying for the next president for Obama’s two terms have created a mess
of unfathomable proportions to deal with this barbaric force that threatens
civilization.
On the you should be outraged front, in
Alexandria, Virginia a female cop in uniform was denied service at a Noodles
and Company restaurant http://alaskanpoet.blogspot.com/2016/07/noodles-and-company-denies-service-to.html
and the VA spent $20 million on art work while vets were dying because of wait
time.

e. 1965 in the mission creep to disaster of the Vietnam War
President Johnson announced he was increasing U.S. troop levels from 75,000 to

Reflections on hepatitis on World Hepatitis Day: “HBV is 100 times more infectious than HIV. Both HBV and HCV can remain
in the patient’s blood for years without any symptoms, and by the time the disease is detected, the patient would
already have a severe form of liver disease. But both viruses are treatable, and results of the
treatment, lasting from about 28 to 48 weeks and including anti-viral tablets
with sometimes weekly interferon injections, are very good.” » Dr Dinesh Kini,
noted renown physician in the fight against hepatitis. Please enjoy the poems on events
