Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For October 23, 2017 Five time deported scumbag
Jose Zarate charged with the murder of Kate Steinle goes on trial in sanctuary
city San Francisco. This scumbag will be found guilty and the only question
will be what degree of murder will stick and whether he, like Willie Horton
years ago, will be the poster child of an effort to sweep open border leftists
like an aging Feinstein out of office in November; leftist Matt Damon now
admits that he knew of Weinstein’s sexually predatory behavior after denying
that knowledge earlier; Harvey Weinstein’s behavior is evidently alive and well
in the country music arena as Katie Arminger has come out to allege being a
target of groping and sexual harassment by DJs; Trump plans to declassify
material on the JFK assassination 52
years ago; in a sign that even to Reds Hillary has become toxic, West Virginia
Senator Joe Mancini has informed Hillary that she should stay away from his
campaign; finally in a what’s good for the goose is good for the gander Mueller’s
ever expanding witch hunt has added Tony Podesta, brother of Clinton’s chief
campaign adviser, John Podesta (the real Russian collusion that the MSM will
not reveal is the quid pro quo criminal activity arising out of the Uranium One
deal and the almost 150 million dollars to the Foundation and the 500,000
speaking fee to Bill); almost a stuck record or a gruesome remake
of Groundhog Day, Chicago style, the carnage in Chicago
continued unabated with total shootings in 2017 through October 22 increasing
to 3078 and the death toll increased to 534 and still nothing is being done to
hinder or prevent the killings of minorities by minorities.

of the Day—today’s word of the day is “labeorphily” which means the

Reflections on how to write
a book from today’s birthday boy: “Books aren't written - they're rewritten.
Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after
the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.” Michael Crichton
