Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For March 24, 2019 We got a summary of the Mueller Report which clearly indicated
no collusion by Trump or anyone associated with his campaign with the Russians
and a conclusion by the AG and Rod Rosenstein of no obstruction of justice (time
for the Nadlers, Waters and Schiffs of the left eat crow and hang their
pathetic lying heads in shame) despite the fact that Blues and MSM are in a
meltdown fantasy mode with Blues vowing to ramp up investigation of Trump
beyond collusion and into his and his family’s dealings searching for the
impeachment nail (time for Americans to with one voice yell enough—time to
cease the mantra of investigation and replace it with legislation not
resistance to solve our pressing issues); now that Mueller has completed his
report Barr faces a critical decision of when or if he commences prosecution of
Comey and others in the FBI and DOJ whose misdeeds started this witch-hunt and
damaged the administration for almost two years and cost us over $25 million
(the FBI has been corrupted and as of today no one has been held accountable);
AOC is in a snit fit that her inane Green New Deal will come to a vote in the
Senate to expose the idiocy of her ideas and force Blue presidential candidates
to take a stand on a bill that would cripple this nation’s economy (hands down
this women is replacing Pelosi as the best thing since sliced bread to energize
Republican and Independent voters to vote against Blues); Biden and Sanders are
the number one and two respectfully choices of Democratic voters to run for
president with the illegal alien supporter queen Harris trailing at 8% tied
with Bozo O’Rourke at 8% also; leftist actress Milano is in the news again
demanding that Hollywood boycott Georgia after its senate passed a bill banning
abortions after a fetal heart beat is detected; rabid anti-Semite IIlahan Omar
is in Southern California for a fund raiser for CAIR and was greeted by
hundreds of protestors; on the Brexit front, a million people marched in London
demanding the referendum be voted on again as May continues to struggle getting
an exit deal passed by Parliament; on the education front Trump has signed an
executive order tying federal funding of university research to compliance with
freedom of speech and a prestigious NYC high school that requires an entrance
exam to get in is being slammed for admitting only 7 blacks in its freshman class
of 785 (another indictment of public schools and why charter schools may be the
preferred alternative?); as of March 22, 2019 371 people have been
shot in Chicago of whom 61 have died.
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to
The Beatles, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact you
are able to disagree in a pace manner; a relevant quote from Shawn Otto on the Exxon Valdez oil spill, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like college graduations, birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know
that the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a unique customized poem at a
great price tailored to the event and the recipient. You need only contact
me for details.
1. World Tuberculosis
Day—created by the WHO in 1995 to promote awareness of the scourge
of tuberculosis and the need to effectively combat it especially in developing
countries.
2. International Day
for Achievers—honoring those who have achieved success in their organizations
or fields of work or study.
3. 1967 Number One
Song—the number one song on this day in 1967 on a run of 1 week in
that position was “Penny Lane” by The Beatles. Here is a recording of the
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rB0pHI9fU
4. Word of the Day—today’s
word of the day as we move from words beginning with “o” to words beginning
with “p” is “pace” which means in respectful disagreement which is a skill
in the world of ad hominem attacks in the Swamp which is sadly lacking.
5. No Great Escape—celebrating
the birth on this day in 1930 of noted actor Steve McQueen most remembered for
his role in The Blob, Magnificent Seven, and
The Great Escape. A heavy smoker and
drinker; he died of mesothelioma in 1980.
On this day
in:
a. 1921 the 1921 Women’s
Olympiad, the first women’s sporting event, began in Monte Carlo.
b. 1958 rock and
roll legend Elvis Presley was drafted by the U.S. Army.
c. 1976 the Argentina
military overthrew the government of Isabel Peron to institute a 7 year dictatorial
regime.
d. 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William
Sound after leaving Valdez, Alaska spilling 240,000 barrels of oil into
pristine fishing grounds.
e. 1998 in a great example
of bad or nonexistent parenting, 11 year old and 13 year Mitchell Johnson and
Andrew Goldmen opened fire at students and teacher in Westside Middle School in
Jonesboro, Arkansas killing 5 and wounding 10.
Reflections
on the Exxon Valdez oil spill: “The
Exxon Valdez oil spill is a case in point: litigation took decades to make it
through the courts and was ultimately resolved for a fraction of the actual
loss. Clearly, this route to accountability is ineffective, unjust, and
inefficient.” ― Shawn Lawrence Otto, The War on Science: Who’s
Waging It, Why It Matters, What Can We Do About It?
