Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For July 18, 2017 The drama of the complete failure of the Republican Senate
to come through on its promise to the American public to repeal Obamacare is
coming to a disastrous close (if the Reds believe that anyone is going to vote
for them to remain in power in 2018 after this total fiasco, they must be
smoking something more powerful than the strongest meth on the planet); if you
want to see corruption that is so blatant look to HRC’s tenure at Secretary of
State aka the quid pro quo Wal-Mart with millions to the Clinton Foundation and
$500k in speaking fees to Bill in Moscow while HRC opposed Russian sanctions and approved
the sale of 20% of our uranium assets to a Putin controlled company; 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;

of the Day—today’s word of the day is “inquinate” which means to corrupt or

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
