Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 22, 2019 Biden’s
election chances seem to be taking a dive as a latest poll has Warren now
slightly ahead of him in Iowa while he is embroiled in a controversy on which he
seems foolishly anxious to double down, accusing Trump of pressuring Ukraine to
investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings with Ukraine or lose military aid
which is the very same charge Biden was hit with while VP and bragging he forced
the resignation of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter or lose $1
billion in aid (in this evolving controversy the New York Times has been caught
with its “fake news” pants down in publishing exerts from a soon to be published
book from two of its writers omitting key details of alleged pressure by Giuliani
on Ukraine to investigate Biden (what are sordid mess complete with another
chorus of AOC’s and the left’s cries for impeachment); the news cycle has
seemed to have moved on and left the uncorroborated story by a Clinton friend
that Kavanaugh was engaged in another college sexual harassment episode which the
victim has no recollection or memory of but the episode should prove to be a
wake-up call for the fanaticism the left will employ if Justice Bader should
retire or pass away and Trump has another nominee to SCOTUS; on the illegal
alien front, sickening revelation that not all coyotes are foreigners as the
Border Patrol arrested two residents, one from Texas and the other from Arizona
trying to smuggle in a total of 84 illegals in two semi trailers (send these
money hungry scumbags to long terms in prison1); Pelosi is touting a new health
plan that would have the government negotiating prices to be paid for drugs in
Medicare with a stick or rather a club of 95 % taxes if the pharmaceutical
companies did not accede (watch a déjà vu similar to what happened in Europe
imposed price controls and research funding for new drugs and improvements on
drugs fell significantly); on the cell phone alert front, a 10 year old student
called 911 after being dropped off by a school bus in Longview, Washington to
report that the bus driver was drunk which she was at .09 when cops pulled her
over to arrest her for DUI and endangerment; on the government is inept when it
comes to building anything front, the elevator to the Washington Monument broke
down briefly after three years of upgrade work after being opened to the
public; in Chicago through September 21, 2019, 2062 have been shot of whom 350
have died; and in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, 248 have
been murdered in Baltimore (when will Chicago and Baltimore get serious about
this carnage or is this the case of true racism as a Blue run city turns a deaf
ear and a blind eye to the slaughter of people of color by people of color and
when will the left focus on the problem of color on color shootings in Blue run
cities which have been more deadly and more numerous than random mass
shootings?

Reflections on women business owners’
success: “A Bombshell’s constant struggle is living up to her God given
potential while also battling in her mind the difference between her
expectations and the world’s expectations.”― Amber Hurdle, The Bombshell
