Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 30, 2018 On the securing
the border front, outgoing chief of staff for Trump has contradicted Trump that
it is a wall confirming the deterioration of the relationship between the two
of them; Rudy Giuliani has charged that Mueller has deliberately covered up the
destruction or misplacement of Strozk and Paige text messages showing bias and
blaming the death of Singh on California Democrats’ passage of SB 54; Facebook
is back in the news again with revelations that is banned Franklin Graham due
to his 2016 post in support of North Carolina’s law basing bathroom access on
biology as opposed to sexual orientation (Facebook has apologized, reposted his
post kkand ended the ban but classifying opposition to sexual orientation as “hate
speech” is troubling) on the white bias front, organizers of the Women’s March
scheduled next month in Eureka, California have cancelled the event because the
participants were overly white; Florida which overwhelmingly passed a
proposition that restored voting rights to felons otgher than murderers or sex
offenders who have completed their sentence and no longer under parole or
probation is causing concern among the affected one million residents as
politicians are raising questions on how to implement which may prevent
eligible felons from voting in elections that will begin before the legislature
returns in session; the blame game is in full force and effect in the Swamp
over the partial shutdown (suggestion why not convene leaders of ICE and the
Border Patrol to testify what they would like on the border and the GAO
officials to report as to the cost of benefits being paid to illegal aliens and
in so doing gut Pelosi’s argument a wall would be expensive and ineffective leaving
her only with a claim that a wall would be immoral which is an utter crock);
only two days left to see if Chicago death toll cracks 500 in 2018 as through December 29, 2018, 2942 people
mostly of color have been shot by mostly people of color, of whom 493 have died
(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
mostly people of color by mostly people of color).

Ritchie, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that no
