Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For February 15, 2019 Allan Dershowitz
not a conservative voice has called out McCabe's discussion of the 25th
Amendment to remove Trump totally absurd and dangerous; Congress has refused to fund the border security
and worse has moved to reduce the number of ICE beds which will increase the
number of illegals released into the general population awaiting court hearings
for which they will never appear so Trump has taken the sane act of declaring a
national emergency to access federal funds and construct what the Border Patrol
has been begging for physical barriers (thank God for control of the Senate to
name 2 conservative judges to SCOTUS as the Blues will be rushing to the courts
to try to block the declaration); in another example of the corruption at State
and the FBI, news that State was negotiating with the FBI to lower the security
classification on the emails illegally stored on Hillary's email server in exchange
for increased numbers of coveted attaché posts aboard at American Consulates
(when will the cabal of Comey, McCabe, Stzrock, Page, Ohr, and Baker be held
accountable before a grand jury?); AOC, the socialist poster child for the
Blues, is being slammed for creating a hostile business environment that caused
Amazon to pull out of its plans to open a headquarters in Long Island City,
taking 25,000 jobs with it (she is also being slammed for her boyfriend getting
a Congressional email account); Maduro continues to block humanitarian shipments
of food and medicine at the Columbian border while his death squads are killing protesters; Acosta made a fool of himself at the Rose Garden in his biased attempts
to discredit Trump's declaration of a national emergency while being attacked
by Angel Moms bemoaning the loss of their children due to acts of illegal aliens.
As always, I hope you enjoy

2. Susan B. Anthony Day (Florida, United
States)--created in 2011 to honor the contributions of noted suffragist

3. 2017 Number One Song— the number one song on
this day in 2017 on a run of 2 weeks in that position was “Bad and Bougee”
by Migos feat Lil Uzi Vert. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-sJp1FfG7Q
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 “optative” which
means mood expressing a wish or desire which if it expresses an end to Swamp
gridlock describes feelings outside the Beltway to a tee.
5. SNL Stepping Stone to Disaster—celebrating the birth
on this day in 1964 of noted actor and comedian Chris Farley who got his start
in Saturday Night Live but battled obesity and drugs and died of a drug overdose
at age 33, same age as another SNL member John Belushi who overdosed at age 33
also.
On this day
in:
a. 1972 Sound recordings became eligible for federal copyright
protection for the first time..
b. 1989 The Soviet Union's Afghan Nightmare came to an end
as it announced that all its troops had left that country.
c. 1992 Jeffrey Dahmer an infamous serial killer was sentenced
to 15 life terms in prison which proved to be a short one indeed as he was
beaten to death by a fellow inmate in 1994.
d. 2001 The first draft of the human genome was published in Nature.
e. 2003 Protests against the Iraq War are held in over 600
cities with some 30 million demonstrators in what would have to be the largest anti—war
demonstration in history.
Reflections
on demons that can plague you and kill you if you retreat from reality into drugs:
“I used to think that you could get to a level of success where the laws of the
universe didn't apply. But they do. It's still life on life's terms, not on
movie-star terms. I still have to work at relationships. I still have to work
on my weight and some of my other demons.” Chris Farley
