Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For February 22, 2019 The thug who
punched a conservative in the face has not yet been identified but a Cal
employee who cheered the sucker punch assault has leading to outrage that he
should be fired; the MSNBC that was
ranting 24/7 on the hoax MAGA attack on Jussie Smollett attack was totally MIA
when the producers of Empire announced
his character would be eliminated from the final two episodes (no wonder the
MSM has 0 credibility with mere mortals not living in gate guarded communities
on the coasts); California with its Sanctuary Cities remains a very dangerous
place to be a police officer as an illegal alien deported three times with the
Napa County Sheriff prohibited from honoring ICI detainers shot at a Napa
County deputy after a traffic stop and fortunately was killed; the reptilian brain
may have claimed another victim as the owner of the New England Patriots, Robert
Kraft, has been charged with soliciting prostitution at a Florida spa; Bernie
Sanders another great hypocrite and announced socialist owns three homes and
made a million dollars last year announced he has raised $6 million in his
first day of announcing his candidacy; big
time rapper R. Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual
assault including charges against minors; HRC in what must be a delusional
attempt to be relevant in 2020 has been meeting with Blue wannabes (hope she
gives them advice on how to campaign which if followed will guarantee a Trump
victory); Harris has been slammed by her father for her implication that
Jamaicans are a bunch of dread locks and pot smokers (after her lunch with
Sharpton nothing but silence from questions from the press on the indictment of
Jussie Smollett leading this conservative to believe the bloom may be on the
rose on her quest for the White House); the Assad of South America Maduro is
closing his borders right and left to stop the flow of humanitarian aid into
the country (one can only hope there are back channel discussions with the
military to overthrow this tyrant).
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a
music link to Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra with Eugenie Baird ,
factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that your plate is
not limited to a few orts and a relevant quote from Cat Cora on Bullying,
secure

1. International Stand Up To Bullying Day—created in 2008
when two Nova Scotia students Travis Price and David Shepherd stood up a against
a fellow student bullying someone for wearing a pink shirt; if you see someone
wearing a shirt of the same color they are most likely celebrating the day.
2. National Wildlife Day—created in 2005 and originally celebrated on September 4 of each
year until the death of conservationist Robert Irvin to be moved to today in
2018 to coincide with his birth. The day promotes awareness of the endangered
wildlife species.
3. 1944 Number One Song— the number one song on this day in 1944 on a run of 5 weeks
in that position was “My Heart Tells Me (Should I Believe My Heart)” by Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra with
Eugenie Baird. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdjQw6i2EXs
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning with
“n” to words beginning with “o” is “ort” which means a morsel or scrap of
food which for most of us are not restricted to.
5. In The Genes—celebrating
the birth on this day in 1965 of Drew Barrymore, noted actress whose acting
lineage goes back three generations to actors and actresses and who struggled
to successfully overcome substance abuse.
On this day
in:
a. 1924 President Calvin Coolidge became the first president to
deliver a radio address from the White House.
b. 1974 Samuel Byck attempted to hijack and airline at
Baltimore International Airport with the intent to fly into the White House to
assassinate Richard Nixon but after killing a policeman and a pilot ended up
shooting himself to death.
c. 1980 at the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York, the
U.S. Hockey Team in the Semifinals defeated the Soviet Union to go on to win
the Gold Medal.
d. 1994 Aldrich Ames and his wife were arrested for spying for Russia
and he pled guilty and was sentenced to life without possibility of parole
after compromising the identity of CIA assets in Russia and is serving a life
sentence in a federal medium security prison.
e. 1997 in Scotland, scientists announced that they had
successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly.
Reflections on bullying: “Bullying is killing our kids. Being different is
killing our kids and the kids who are bullying are dying inside. We have to
save our kids whether they are bullied or they are bullying. They are all in
pain.” Cat Cora, noted
female
Iron Chef.Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my twitter account below (if you like them, retweet and follow me) and follow my blogs.
