Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For August 21, 2019 Gavin Newsom
idiotically blames Texas for our current homeless catastrophe when the blame
and feces rest solely on his policies; Federal watchdog warns that both Trump
and Blues are indifferent to rising tide of trillion dollar deferral deficits that
will swamp our fiscal future; in a race that may be a spike into the heart of
the Blues, Whitney Williams, an illegal alien dreamer at the age of 10 when
parents overstayed their visa, married an American citizen, became a citizen as
is now running as a Republican for Congress to recover a seat flipped last year
by the Blues by someone who is out of touch with the values of the people in
the district; Morning Joe went off the rails again with his anti-Trump diatribe
of Trump’s attack on Blue Jewish voters voting Blue in light of the attacks by
members of that party on Israel as being the same as the Nazis who called Jews
disloyal (really Joe on a day when a founder of the Exodus Movement called
Trump the best friend Israel has ever had?); another copycat ice cream
tampering case as a man posts a video of himself opening a container of Blue
Bell ice cream, licking it and replacing it in the freezer (arrested, his
defense was that he purchased the container and wanted a sample lick before he
bought); President Trump has negotiated a trade deal with Mexico on tomatoes
with Mexico that will make Mexican tomatoes duty free with a price of $.31 a
pound; in another black eye for the VA fired Doctor Morris Robert Levy has been
charged with three counts of manslaughter for falsifying his misdiagnosis of
three patients who died under his care and after being fired for two times for
being under the influence of drugs a report into his performance on 33,000
cases found erroneous diagnoses by him in over 3,000 cases; the Trump Administration
has announced the end of the Flores Agreement which required the release of families
from detention if their asylum cases have not been heard in 20 days (assuming a
liberal 9th Circuit judge does not enjoin the plan, this new policy
permitting indefinite detention of families with children will end the caging
rhetoric and result in a marked decrease of illegals trying to cross our
borders); in Chicago through August 20, 2019, 1773 have been shot of whom 296
have died and in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, 218 have been murdered in Baltimore ( when
will Chicago 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?)

e. 2017 a solar eclipse of the Sun
was visible across the continental U.S. visited by the Alaskan Poet in its
total glory at the Salem Airport in Salem, Oregon.
Reflections on the
total solar eclipse passing over the U.S. on this day in 2017: ““Now this
August 21, 2017, we have a total solar eclipse going over the United States.
This is again at the beginning of the month of repentance on the first of Elul!
Could God be giving us warning that we need to repent or judgment will be
coming on the United States? The timing couldn’t be clearer.” – Pastor
Mark Blitz, noted pastor and author who correlates solar eclipses and lunar
eclipses with Biblical prophecies
