Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For May 29, 2019 Mueller delivered a statement to the American people to
the effect that his report speaks for itself, punted on the issue of
obstruction of justice, reiterated Russian attempts to interfere with our
election but found no collusion by the Trump campaign, resigned and indicated
the ball was in Congress’ court on the issue of obstruction (Pelosi is not
going to be pleased as her progressive wing will most likely ramp up calls for
impeachment ignoring the question of how can you obstruct justice of an
investigation of a non crime?); lying Adam Schiff was slammed by Trey Gowdy for
objecting to the declassification of the FISA Court documents that will expose
the role of the FBI and Intel agencies in using the false and unverified HRC funded
anti-Trump dossier which Comey and other senior FBI and DOJ officials filed
with the court misleading it that the contents were verified (throughout the
Mueller investigation this pathetic lying hack kept touting the nonexistent
evidence of collusion to the American people with the aid of the lackeys of the
DNC, the MSM); the Midwest in May has been hit with 442 tornados almost twice
the average due to a stalled weather front affecting the area; maybe the false
news claims by Trump are striking a responsive chord as the leftist anti-Trump Washington Post has given the president
of Planned Parenthood 4 Pinnochios for her false claim that before Roe v.
Wade thousands of women died undergoing illegal abortions; a silver lining
in the cloud of economic collapse buffeting Venezuela is crime is falling
because criminals can no longer afford bullets and victims no longer have any
money which gets more and more worthless each day; the meltdown of the leftist
Blues continues as Mitch McConnell vows to fill any SCOTUS vacancy in 2020
(with Ruth Bader Ginsburg looking like she is on life support a vacancy before
the election is a real possibility); through May 28, 2019 899 people have
been shot in Chicago of whom 177 have died (what makes the Smollett case so
frustrating is that it forced the city of Chicago to allocate scarce detective
resources when in only 9% of the shootings resulting in murder have a suspect
being charged this year).
1. International
Day of United Nations Peacekeepers—created by the UN General Assembly on
December 11, 2002 to honor the sacrifices of members of UN Peacekeepers forces and
elebrated first on May 29, 2003 the anniversary of the first UN Peacekeeper
force which was sent to the Middle East to monitor the ceasefire in the
Arab-Israel War in 1948.
2. World Digestive
Health Day—created
by the World Gastroenterology Organization to promote enhancing digestive
health, especially in developing nations.
3. 2014
Number One Song—the number one song on this day in 2014 on a run of 5 weeks in
that position was “All Of Me” by John Legend. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg
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 “pathic” which means passive, a trait that
is absent from Trump’s personality.
5. How
Not To Impress A Girl—bemoaning the birth on this day in 1955 of John
Hinkley, Jr, who was fascinated with Jodie Foster and tried to impress her on
March 30, 1981 by shooting President Reagan and three others; he was found not
guilty by reason of insanity and sentenced to psychiatric confinement and released
in September of 2016.

Legend, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you are

Reflections on UN Peacekeepers: “If blue-helmeted U.N.
peacekeepers show up in your town or village and offer to protect you, run. Or
else get weapons. Your lives are worth so much less than theirs.”
