Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For December 10, 2019 While the Blues are in a full mode IG Report for them
is a win spin, AG Barr has slammed the FBI’s institution of the Russian
collusion probe based on flimsy evidence and cast doubt on Horowitz’ finding of
no bias at the FBI (did he not read the thousands of text messages between Strzok
and Page?), pointing out that Horowitz found no evidence given his limited
ability to gather evidence without warrants; the House has released two
Articles of Impeachment setting forth an alleged abuse of power by withholding
military aid to Ukraine unless they investigated Joe Biden and secondly
obstruction of justice for asserting executive privilege with respect to the
blizzard of subpoenas (will be an interesting trial if the Blues in Red
Districts are dumb enough to vote for impeachment and for the Blues a disaster
as Schiff and both Bidens will be called as adverse witnesses); HRC trying to
be relevant and still delusional that she could win in the Electoral College
this time is applauding the impeachment work of Congress; finally Pelosi could
no longer hold up ratification of the USMCA and reached agreement with the
White House to bring it to a vote next week (not sure what changes she extorted
to allow the bill to be brought to the House floor but question whether the
costs of not having it is place were worth the extortion); in another example
that the Reptilian Brain ignores party or gender, misnamed Kentucky Republican
Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry has been accused of soliciting threesomes, sexual
harassment, favoritism and seeking campaign contributions in exchange for rulings
(if true, Judge Dawn is definitely not a member of the gentry); following in
the chutzpah steps of her fellow lovebird, Lisa Page had the temerity to sue
the FBI and DOJ for publishing her text messages from and to Peter Strzok; in
Jersey City a shoot out between police and criminals resulted 6 dead including 1
police officer and several wounded with idiotic bystanders crowding the police
line to film and cheer the shootings; in
Chicago with a new interim police chief now having to replace a fired police
chief as of December 9, 2019, 2590 have been shot, of whom, 440 have died as
the major miracle of no deaths in three days ended on the 8th;
Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, is coming in second place in
the amount of gun deaths as 322 have been murdered, a number which has passed
all of 2014’s death and all of 2016’s yearly total of 318 fatalities but 2017’s
record of 342 looks like it won’t be broken (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?).

at the history of human rights or lack thereof throughout the world in such
places as China, Iran and North Korea, has been honored in the breach not
observance.

Reflections on impeachment
by a disgraced lawyer who had 15 minutes of fame: “Donald Trump is either going
to resign, he's going to be removed from office by impeachment, or I'm going to
beat him in 2020. But one way or the other, he's not going to serve a second
term.” Michael Avenatti, former lawyer for Stormy Daniels and now awaiting
trial on numerous fraud and extortion charges.
