Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For February 12, 2019 finally in the
leftist California state some sense of fiscal reality as it pulls the plug on
Ex Governor Moonbeam’s
inane bullet train proposal due to massive budget overruns; in what must have been an appeal to millennials
that when it came to pot, she was ultra cool, Kamala Harris in an interview
admitted that unlike Clinton, she inhaled while listening to rappers in college
as we learn the rappers she quoted had not yet released (nice try wanna-be but
so typical of the means justify the ends or maybe an example of pot and memory
dumping trend); we may be averting another shutdown as the Blues in total
disregard of our safety want to a strict limit on ICE detentions exist
(avoiding a shutdown should not trump the national security issues that releasing
aliens into this country poses and Trump should declare a national emergency and
transfer funds to build a wall and more ICE beds (almost every day there is
another Angel Parent created by the death of a child caused by drugs, murders
or DUIs by an illegal alien); Bill Gates who with his foundation has spent millions
upon millions in worthy social causes rightfully attacked the inane policies of
AOC who could not create a job if her life depended on it; notorious drug
dealer El Chapo has been found guilty on all ten counts and will spend the rest
of his life in a maximum security prison confined to a cell 23 hours a day; in
a climate change debunking moment at Aloha State Park in Mauii, snow was
falling for the first time at lower elevations.
As always, I hope you enjoy

by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0
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 “opprobrium” which
means disgrace or bad reputation which describes the Swamp to a tee.
5. Missed Drive By Shooting Victim—celebrating the birth
on this day in 1965 of finally and newly appointed SOTUS Justice Brett Kavannaugh
who survived a despicable sandbagging by Diane Feinstein and biased partisan
attacks by Democrats to be confirmed on SCOTUS.
On this day
in:
a. 1963 Construction began on the Gateway Arch in St. Louis,
Missouri.
b. 1974 Alexander Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel
Prize for Literature and exiled from the Soviet Union.
c. 1999 on party lines President Clinton was found not guilty of
impeachment, a lesson the likes of Maxine Waters should learn in her inane
quest to impeach President Trump.

the first spacecraft to land on an asteroid.
e. 2004 the City of San Francisco began issuing same sex
marriage certificates pursuant to a directive from Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Reflections
on the tragedy of children soldiers: “The
saddest sight these days is the image of hundreds of thousands of children
kidnapped and lured into being child soldiers from the age of eight.” Sir Roger
Moore, noted English actor best known for his roles in the James Bond movies.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.
