Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 15, 2017 The stench from
the rotting carcass of the former integrity of the FBI is getting worse with
each passing moment as Comey received a nightmare birthday present of documents
clearly showing a watering down of his exoneration draft started even before
HRC, Cheryl Mills (who perjured herself) and Huma Abedin (she perjured herself
were interviewed) with the replacement of “grossly negligent” (criminal) with “extremely
careless” (really bad judgment but not criminal) and changing “reasonably
likely” of hacking of her server by hostile forces to “possibly”; you know the
DOJ, Mueller and the FBI when a chief strategist and pollster for the Clintons
admitted Mueller and the FBI are facing a “crisis of confidence”; it is time
for Congress to peel away the FBI’s defense that documents cannot be released
to Congress because the Inspector General is conducting an ”investigation” by holding
the Deputy Attorney General in contempt of Congress (time for Attorney General Sessions
to do his job as he recused himself from the Russian collision delusion not what
appears to be corruption within the FBI to exonerate HRC and look to the real
obstruction of justice—the involvement of Obama and Lynch on a spineless Comey
to insure no criminal charges would be filed and the utilization of the false
anti-Trump dossier to procure FISA court warrants to intercept conversations of
Trump supporters and members of the transition team; on the real war on women
front, ESPN which has lost its focus on sports and ventured into the political
arena expressing support for liberal causes has been stung by a report alleging
sexual harassment, gender pay inequality and a hostile work environment for its
female employees; on the Islamic intolerance front Muss Iraq fearing for her
life due to an Instagram photo of her with Miss Israel has fled; UBER is in hot
water after news of the arrest of one of its drivers, 58 year old Abdoulie Jagne,
for raping his passenger a 16 year old female; almost a stuck record or a gruesome
remake of Groundhog Day, Chicago style, the carnage in
Chicago continued unabated with total shootings by mostly minorities against
mostly minorities in 2017 through December 13, due to fact December 14
stats not in, increasing to 3451, 602 of whom have died.
As always, I hope you enjoy
today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Tony Bennett, factoids of interest for
this day in history, not having to laveer on the issues of the day, a

1. Bill of Rights Day—created by Presidential Proclamation on December 15, 1941 to commemorate
the most important ten amendments to the Constitution which curb the power of
the federal government in favor of the people.
2. International Tea Day—celebrated in the tea producing countries of the world to
promote the benefits of tea as a beverage on a par with or superior to coffee.
3. 1953 Number One Song— the number one song in 1953 on a run of 6 weeks in that
position was “Rags to Riches” by Tony Bennett. Here is a recording of the song:

Tony still performing at the ripe young age of 91.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “laveer” which means to sail against
the wind which when it comes to the Blue Block of Schumer and Pelosi Trump has
had to laveer.
5. A Close Shave Is A Vice—celebrating
the birthday on this day in 1949 of Don Johnson best known for his TV series Miami Vice and his unshaven or barely
shaved look.
On this day
in:
a. 1791 the Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution when ratified
by the Virginia General Assembly.
b. 1917 an armistice was signed between the Central Powers and
Russia, freeing up hundreds of thousands of troops to the Western Front that
the Germans would use in a desperate gamble to win the war before large numbers
of Americans began landing in Europe.
c. 1933 the 21st Amendment ending Prohibition created
by the 18th Amendment became effective.
d. 1973 the American Psychiatric Society voted 13-9 voted to
remove homosexuality from its list of psychiatric disorders.
e. 1981 in a scene that has happened far too many times and
continues to plague the world, the first suicide car bombing occurred outside
the Iraqi Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, killing over 60 people including the
Iraqi Ambassador.
Reflections on
the Bill of Rights: “The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to
'create' rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our
Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.”
William J. Brennan former Associate Justice of SCOTUS. Please
