Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For July 17, 2017 The Juice will be finally let loose on parole to hunt for
the killer of his ex wife Nicole? Hobbled by diabetes and memories of what he once was and but for
killing her he could have been to rest
in tormented hell like Hector dragged behind a chariot until you die; Reds are
still scrambling and do not have the votes to repeal and replace (why is Trump
still MIA on this debate?); the real threat to our democracy is not a naïve meeting
with a Russian lawyer who looks more and more like a person with no info on
Hillary, who but for the intervention of the Obama administration should not have
been here and was involved in a classic entrapment to damage Trump but the
growing number of Obama senior officials involved in the probe of unmasking Trump
supporters and campaign officials; Susan Rice, the woman with zero credibility,
will be testifying before Congress but sadly it may be behind closed doors on
the unmasking of Trump officials and supporters; USC which in the past has had
its scandals limited to the athletic field has been rocked with a report that its
former Dean of the Keck Medical School led a life of drugs and prostitutes
(Fight on for SC!); call the cops to report a possible sexual assault and be
shot dead by a Somali-American police officer with no body cams on sad (the
victim looks a lot like Kate Stenle whose death the Blues including Harris
refuse to protect future repeats;

ulterior motive.

3. 1984 Number One Song—the number one song in

song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUc0R8bbWQE
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “inquinate” which means to corrupt or
defile which fits to a tee the MSM’s approach to objective journalism in
covering Trurmp.

Reflections
on a crime the International Court of Justice was created to prevenvent:“ Genocide is not just
a murderous madness; it is, more deeply, a politics that promises a utopia
beyond politics - one people, one land, one truth, the end of difference. Since
genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in
any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis.” Michael Ignatieff,
noted former leader of Canada’s Liberal Party. Please enjoy the poems
