Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For March 13, 2018 Just when we
thought we might have progress on North Korea another bombshell as Trump before
boarding Marine One announced that Mike Pompaneo would be replacing Rex
Tillerson as Secretary of State (look for MSM to go bonkers on the “chaos” in
the Trump Administration); Pompaneo will be replaced by Gina Haspel, Pompaneo’s
Deputy Director, a 32 year spymaster at the CIA who has run “black sites” where
terrorists were water boarded (watch the Blues go ballistic at her confirmation
hearings over waterboarding and expect no slack even if she will be the first
female CIA Director); HRC has still not comes to grips with the fact that she
lost due to the fact that she was the candidate of no ideas running a lousy
inept campaign and in a speech in India where she in essence said the Red
states were stupid stuck in the past and the states that the Blues won had 2/3
of the nation’s GNP implying the Blue states were the future (California with
its growing welfare and massive illegal population, unfunded pension
liabilities and dead last in quality of life is a future that this deplorable
wants nothing of) and that she lost because women did not stand up to the sexist,
misogynist pressure of husbands, fathers, sons and boy friends to vote for
Trump (here is a link to a weak looking HRC falling not once but twice while in
India in a complete image of weakness http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/13/hillary-clinton-blames-pressure-from-men-for-why-white-women-voted-for-trump.html
;in a you have to be kidding moment while the nation is searching for ways to
harden schools NYC is pulling police from schools (Di Blasio and all Blue leaders
retain their cocoon of armed security); the House Intel Committee or at least
its Red majority has found no evidence of collusion with the Russians only collusion
by the DNC and HRC’s campaign with the Russians through the GPS anti- Trump dossier
created with Russian false information funneled to Steele but as might be
expected not a peep from the three biased purveyors of advocacy cack ABC, CBS
and NBC; finally that person on The View Joyce
Behar who when in comes to objectivity and lack of bias is without a clue
apologized to Mike Pence over her remarks on Christianity (amazing what 40 +
thousand phone calls to the Always Biased Cack complaining will do); in Chicago
through March 12, 2018 420 people have been shot of whom 79 have died but in a
rarity no deaths in the last two days.
