September 25, 2017 Ridley's Believe It Or Not National Lobster Day

Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 25, 2017 When more than ever the Reds need Trump to be engaged on the repeal and replacement of the ACA, he is MIA on a twitter war with the NFL (disgrace, total disgrace); little rocket man from North Korea states the U.S. has declared war on it and it has the right to shoot down American planes even in international waters as the rhetoric war gets worse every day (if we know where Rocket Man is on a daily basis and where his nuclear and ICBM program is why not do a preemptive nuclear strike those facilities and a massive Tomahawk strike on him, his family and his military leadership?); that noted pervert Anthony Weiner has just be sentenced to 21 months in jail for sextexting a minor; as the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare looks like it is head for certain defeat due to Schumer’s lackeys goosestepting for party over nation sadly aided by  RINOs like Collins, Cruz,  Makowski, McCain, and Paul,  some Reds are calling for McCain’s recall—fighting brain cancer should be his priority and spending his remaining time on Earth with his family and friends; NFL players who want to not stand is part of their 1st Amendment rights just as fans can exercise their 1st Wallet rights and boycott games and watching them on TV through September 24, 2017 in Chicago the number of people being shot climbed to 2805 and the death toll standing at 480 while the city seems to not be doing anything to prevent the killing and maiming of its minority residents—a real definition of racism which is deadly.
