Ridley’s Believe
It Or Not For February 5, 2019 President Trump delivers his SOTUS with resister
in chief directly on camera behind him (will she be rolling her eyes in
defiance to go with her habit of sitting on her hands glued to her seat?);
Stacey Abrams the sour grape loser in the Georgia gubernatorial race will give
the rebuttal an is hit with a scathing 30 second video released by the RNC;
Senator Booker at the confirmation hearings of Neomi Rao made a complete utter
fool of himself by asking the nominee who is not a judge how many LGBTQ clerk she
had and when he was so informed he broadened it to include employees in her
agency and she rightfully responded that she was unaware of the sexual
orientation and would never base hiring decisions on that factor; Blue
Connecticut legislator has introduced a bill to raise the sales tax on ammunition
by 50%; on the drug front the Coast Guard announced on
Tuesday that it had seized 35,000 pounds if cocaine worth almost $500 million;
the illegals camping in out in Tijuana are wearing out their welcome subject to
being slammed by Tijuana as being “bums, pot smokers and bad people”; the list
of spoiled children Democratic House members who have indicating they are
boycotting tonight’s SCOTUS stands at 4 (what a disgrace that should result in
a Pelosi memo that they should attend); on the illegal alien criminal gang
front, the shooter who killed another gang member on the NYC subway is a MS-13
gang member here illegally; Nothing But Cack network had a panel that blamed
Trump for Governor Northam black face scandal yearbook photos (unbelievable but so predictable).
As always, I hope you
enjoy today’s holidays and observances, music links to Bruno Mars,
factoids of interest for this day in history, the ophelmity we are enjoying
under Trump and a relevant quote from Eliot Engel on the Holocaust, secure in the

graduations, birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know that the
Alaskanpoet can provide you with a unique customized poem at a great price

1. Chinese New Year—celebrating the first day of the Year of the Pig.
2. Disaster Day—commemorating disasters both natural and caused by man and
promoting the need for study and awareness of the causes of such disasters to
minimize the chance they will happen again and take measures to minimize the loss
of life and destruction of property.
3. 2011 Number One Song— the number one song on this day in 2011 on a run of 4
weeks in that position was “Grenade” by Bruno Mars. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6iYWJxHqs
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 “ophelimity” which means economic
satisfaction which is what Trump has been delivering to the American people in
spades.
5. First Lady of Steak—celebrating the birth on this day in 1927 of Ruth Fertel a noted
entrepreneur that ventured into the restaurant business by buying a local
restaurant Chris’ Steakhouse in New Orleans and when it burned down she moved
to a new location and renamed the restaurant Ruth Chris’ Steakhouse and grew it
to a national and multinational chain. A lifelong smoker, she died of lung
cancer at the age of 75.
On this day
in:
a. 1919 Charley Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and
D.W. Griffith formed United Artists.
b. 1939 General Francisco Franco became the 68th Caudillo de Espana.
c. 1962 French President Charles De Gaulle called for
independence of Algeria.
d. 1994 after 2 hung juries for the murder in 1963 of Civil
Rights activist Medgar Evers, Byron De La Beckwith was retried, convicted and
sentenced to life in prison where he died at age 80.
e. 1997 UBS, Credit Suisse and National Bank of Switzerland
announced the formation of a $71 million fund to aid Holocaust victims and
their families.
Reflections
on the Holocaust: “Yet, nearly 6 decades after the Holocaust concluded,
Anti-Semitism still exists as the scourge of the world.” Eliot Engel, Blue
member of the House for New York, since 1988; this liveral Representative is
the poster child of why we need term limits.
