December 10, 2019 Ridley's Believe It Or Not Human Rights DayaS


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?).
