Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For May 21, 2018 The IG’s report that will be released very soon will be a
scathing critique of the FBI’s “investigation” of HRC’s private e-mail server;
History was made today in Arlington when Gina Haspel was sworn in as the first
female to head the CIA whose former director John Brennan has been accused of
lying to Congress and being part of the Deep State Cabel with James Clapper who
also lied to Congress trying to overthrow a duly elected president; Trump is
back on the offensive against the FBI/DOJ claiming his campaign was spied upon
and demanding that the DOJ and FBI release documents demanded by Congress; a
former Bill Clinton pollster and chief political adviser to HRC’s failed 2008
political campaign blasted Mueller’s “probe” and demanded it be terminated even
as shiftless Schiff was on the Sunday news blasting Trump for discrediting
Mueller; Saddam al Jamal who was behind the burning alive of a Jordanian pilot
who was shot down and captured in 2015 was one of the ISIS jihadists captured
last week; the reptilian brain claimed another victim as Mayor Mike Bowers, a
Blue, resigned as Bloomburg, PA Mayor after being arrested for soliciting a
prostitute who happened to be a police informant; on the sports front a relief
pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals Jordan Hicks threw two pitches clocked at
105 miles per hour in a 5-1 victory over the Phillies; in Chicago through May 20,
2018, 950 people mostly of color have been shot by mostly people of color, of
whom 156 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 people of color by people of color?)
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to David
Bowie, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that Trump
has issued a manament to the FBI and DOJ to provide documents demanded by
Congress and a relevant quote by Simon
Helberg of waitresses and geniuses approach to simple problems, secure in the

1. World Day of Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development—created by the UN
following the destruction of the Buddha Statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan in 2001
by the Taliban to promote the idea that cultural diversity is not a threat but
rather a goal to be promoted.
2. National Waiters and Waitresses Days—honoring those
servers who often are the difference between a memorable meal and a dining out
disaster.
3. 1983 Number One Song— the number one song in 1983 on a run of 1 week in that
position was “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. Here is a recording
of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4d7Wp9kKjA
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “manament” which means a command or
order which when it comes to draining the Swamp Obama holdovers are fight tooth
and nail.
5. A Lynching of Lady
Justice?—celebrating or bemoaning depending upon your political views of
the birthday on this day in 1959 of former AG appointed by Obama, Loretta Lynch
who is best known for her infamous meeting on the tarmac of Sky Harbor Airport
in Phoenix with Bill Clinton to talk about “golf and grandkids” but not about
the FBI’s “investigation” of HRC’s private e-mail and who now is in a snit fit
with fired James Comey over who is telling the truth over certain aspects of that
“investigation.”
On this day in:
On this day in:
a. 1976 near Martinez, California a bus carry the Yuba City High
School choir crashed into a bridge, killing 29 and seriously injuring 24 others
making it the deadliest bus crash in American history.
b. 1991 former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was
assassinated by a female suicide bomber in Madras, India.
c. 1992 after 30 years Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show for the last time with Robin Williams and Bette Midler
making appearances.
d. 2001 French Taubrina Law was enacted which recognized that
the African Slave Trade was a crime against humanity.
e. 2011 Christian radio broadcaster predicted that the world
would end on this day and Jesus Christ would return to Earth; fortunately like
so many of his end of Earth predictions he was wrong.
Reflections on the wisdom
and waitresses:”There's something very funny about giving a menial task to a
genius and watching him find so much complexity and overanalyse it to such a
degree that the waitress from Nebraska working at the Cheesecake Factory has
passed them all by.” Simon Helberg Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my
