Ridley's Believe It Or Not For January 22, 2016 Roe v. Wade Day

Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For January 22, 2016, 364 days to go in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term. If you have not seen the movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi strongly recommend you should see it—good chance you might not want to support Hillary Clinton with a memory of the “it’s a video” claim especially when the evidence coming out is that on her unsecure server she placed SAP material.

Reflections on Roe v. Wade: “When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don't think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved.” Jimmy Carter Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my twitter account below (if you like them, retweet and follow me) and follow my blogs.
