Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For March 10, 2017 Despite the desperate delay tactics of the Blues, another two
secretaries one for Energy and the other for Housing have been approved with
the Boxer clone liberal out of touch steroids Harris voting no in both cases;
in great news as it will allow the Reds to focus on shredding job killing
regulations created by the job killer in chief Obama and implementing tax cuts,
Vice President Pence indicated that a major job killing force in the economy
Obamacare should be repealed this spring; another firestorm appears to be
growing with the Reds who are raising concerns that the arrogant head of the IRS
who looked the other way when Lois Lerner targeted Tea Party groups is still in
office when many Reds believe he should be fired; the DOJ is moving forward on
Trump’s campaign promises to end “catch and release” by getting ready to send
additional judges to detention centers to process the over 500,000 deportation
cases pending; in yet another example of the chaos created by the disaster at
Fukishima following the earthquake and tidal waves following it, it appears
highly radioactive wild boars and rats have contaminated the area; in yet another example of the optimism created
by Trump’s presidency despite the obstructionist tactics of the head swamp
denizen Chuck Schumer and his lackeys like Kamala Harris, the number of Americans
in the labor force working or looking for work has risen to all time highs; 400
heavily armed Marines heading to Racca, Syria to assist Syrian rebels seeking
to liberate the “capital” of the ISIS Caliphate; almost like a stuck record, the
carnage in Chicago continues unabated with total shootings in 2017 through
March 9 increasing to 588 and the death
toll increasing to 106 (God help those poor minorities being shot mostly by
minorities when the weather gets warmer and the shooters’ aim gets really better
and there is more daylight) and yet nothing, absolutely nothing, appears to be
occurring to address this blight on blacks and minorities which is what racism
from a black mayor really looks like.

conductor on her railroad who never went off the tracks and never lost a
passenger:” Every great dream
begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the
patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet
