September 27, 2019 Ridley's Believe It Or Not World Tourism Dayeive


Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 27, 2019 The rhetoric in the Swamp has gone totally over the top with Botox Nancy slamming Bill Barr for being a rogue AG and MSM pundits already convicting Trump of impeachment and demanding Barr recluse himself (saner heads among the Blues have totally disappeared and disgruntled idiots like Flake claiming that 37 Red Senators want to vote in favor of impeachment); no one among the Blues falsely condemning Trump for breach of our national security over Ukraine are considering the effect impeachment will have on China, North Korea, Iran and Russia whose readings of the tea leaves must be Trump will soon be gone and we need not come to the table on issues between us and the United States and kiss any trade deal with China goodbye); now sure if Tulsi Gabbard was taken to woodshed by Botox Nancy but she has shifted her view of impeachment; the whistleblower who may have surpassed Strzock and Paige in their efforts to derail Trump’s presidency has not been identified nor his or her sources but the NYT has reported that the whistleblower works for the CIA, the stomping grounds of rabid Trump hater John Brennan (odds that Brennan is licking his chops with fist in air yelling “Gotcha”); as much as sane people would like to get rid of Nadler they are now faced with  a Hobson choice is a district that is probably Blue-safe—support his primary challenger who is AOC on steroids in terms of her leftist policies and keep the devil they know (if only there was a Red candidate that might have a chance to help end this nonsense); once again an unelected federal judge nominated by President Obama has thorn a serious monkey wrench in enforcement of our immigration law by granting an injunction forbidding Trump form licensing private facilities as detention centers to hold illegal children for more than 20 days; the CDC in a study of the spike in respiratory related hospitalizations has warned that the problem may be related to vaping products with THC; Botox Pelosi was momentarily sidetracked from her impeachment vendetta against Trump to rail against the Red state legislatures for imposing restrictions on abortion claiming Republicans are against basic morality; on the religious front chalk a victory up for Christians who received an injunction in their favor banning the State of Michigan’s refusal to permit faith based adoption agencies to ban adoption by same sex couples; Hong Kong is bracing for a weekend of massive protests over China’s increasingly oppressive rule; in Chicago through September 25, 2019, 2102 have been shot of whom 361 have died; and in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, 254 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 the effect of pesticides and our genes: ”For mankind as a whole, a possession infinitely more valuable than individual life is our genetic heritage. . . Yet genetic deterioration through man-made agents is the menace of our time . . .” Rachel Carson, Silent Spring (Chpt. 13, p. 186)
