September 16, 2109 Ridley's Believe It Or Not Mexican Independence Dayeive I


Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 16, 2019 The New York Times and all the Blues how rushed to judgment on demanding the resignation or impeachment of Kavanaugh lead by the Rush to Judgment Queen who as a former AG really should know better if she were not blinded by her rabid desire to become president are all eating crow over the uncorroborated sexual assault by Kavanaugh that the alleged victim has no recollection of (shame and condemnation on all of them, especially the two NYT writers who are the author of an upcoming book on the bogus assault and probably thought the salacious news item would boost sales); the DOJ is using the confusion of Nadler’s committee on whether or not his committee is pursuing an impeachment inquiry to try to shoot down its attempt to get their hands on grand jury material which is prohibited; Lori Loughlin may have second thoughts over her failure to plead guilty especially as she has been dropped from “Full House” and may be facing more jail time than the wrist slap Felicity Hoffman received; Perdue Pharmaceutical, the opioid manufacturer and seller king and target of massive law suits, has filed for Chapter XI Bankruptcy protection;  the UAW which has just called a strike against GM finds itself in hot water as the president of the UAW has been listed as an unnamed conspirator in a criminal fraud investigation by the DOJ against the union; Ilhan Omar’s Somali refugee infested district has become a terrorist enclave while the Minneapolis Police Department is underfunded and undermanned exposing the residents to mob attacks by Somali thugs (a ray of hope in that a Minneapolis Police Officer has announced his intention to run against her); although it is highly unlikely that any of the pro gun control wannabes will read the book by Andrew Pollock, the father of Meadow Pollock, on of the Parkland School shooting victims, they should as Pollock squarely places blame where it belongs in the hands of Democratic policies; in Chicago through September 15, 2019, 2010 have been shot of whom 343 have died and in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, 245 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 ozone depletion: “We woke up some years ago about the consequences of ozone depletion, the hole in the atmosphere. You can't see it. You can't taste it. You can't smell it. But now we do regard that as a key issue. It's a scientific finding.” Sylvia Earle, noted American marine biologist, explorer and author
