Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For September 25, 2017 When
more than ever the Reds need Trump to be engaged on the repeal and replacement
of the ACA, he is MIA on a twitter war with the NFL (disgrace, total disgrace);
little rocket man from North Korea states the U.S. has declared war on it and
it has the right to shoot down American planes even in international waters as
the rhetoric war gets worse every day (if we know where Rocket Man is on a
daily basis and where his nuclear and ICBM program is why not do a preemptive
nuclear strike those facilities and a massive Tomahawk strike on him, his
family and his military leadership?); that noted pervert Anthony Weiner has
just be sentenced to 21 months in jail for sextexting a minor; as the bill to
repeal and replace Obamacare looks like it is head for certain defeat due to Schumer’s
lackeys goosestepting for party over nation sadly aided by RINOs like Collins, Cruz, Makowski, McCain, and Paul, some Reds are calling for McCain’s recall—fighting
brain cancer should be his priority and spending his remaining time on Earth
with his family and friends; NFL players who want to not stand is part of their
1st Amendment rights just as fans can exercise their 1st
Wallet rights and boycott games and watching them on TV through
September 24, 2017 in Chicago the number of people being shot climbed to 2805
and the death toll standing at 480 while the city seems to not be doing
anything to prevent the killing and maiming of its minority residents—a real
definition of racism which is deadly.

foresight in 2014 to co-sponsor legislation naming today as National Lobster
Day to promote Maine lobsters.

Number One Song— the number one song in 1967 on a run of 4 weeks in

of the Day—today’s word of the day is “kenspeckle” which describes
something that is easily recognizable like the partisan gridlock which plagues
us all in the Swamp.
