October 11, 2017 Ridley's Believe It Or Not International Day of the Girl

Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October 11, 2017 NBC (Nothing But Cack) is being blasted by Trump and Mattis on fake news of the U.S. increasing its nuclear arsenal by a factor of ten and by Ronan Farrow, a NBC reporter who broke the Harvey Weinstein news story that the Nothing But Cack refused to air (disgusting as more and more women have come forward to allege rape and inappropriate sexual request from the big time Democratic fund raiser and Hollywood mogul); Al Green the leftist Blue House member from Texas introduced articles of impeachment against Trump and then did not call for a vote so the articles expired (feel sorry for the residents of his district to have such a pathetic ideologue representing them); on the sexual depravity front, police in Chandler, Arizona have arrested one woman and are looking for two others who videotaped themselves playing with sex toys in front of the children at a daycare center (how sick is that?); on the nanny state front, some sanity has returned to Chicago as the one cent per ounce soda tax has been repealed due to public outcry; if you are a California wine aficionado with the  fires raging in Northern California that have killed at least 21 people and are threatening vineyards, today would be a great day to stock up on wine; in Chicago through October 10, 2017, the number of people being shot climbed to 2979 and the death toll rising to 514 while the city seems to not be doing anything to prevent the killing and maiming of its minority residents—a real definition of racism which is deadly.
