Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October 6, 2019 On the
impeachment front, there are two anonymous whistleblowers one of who met with
Schiff and most likely cooperated with his staff to prepare his hearsay laden letter
whose identity and public testimony Senator Graham has demanded if the House does
not vote on an impeachment inquiry (if the House does vote on impeachment the
Senate should vote on the requirement that the Gang of 5 running for the
presidency recluse themselves over a conflict even a second grader could understand);
Senator Klobacher who prides herself with a false image of an objective, nonpartisan
senator has had her aspirations for becoming president trump reality as she
charges that Trump is a “global gangster”; whoever thought the election in 2020
would be a cake walk for Trump got hit with a dose of election reality as Biden
leads in Wisconsin by 9 points (frightening that voters are opposed to a border
wall which CBP and ICE on the front lines insist we need and are opposed to
tariffs in the trade war with China); Biden may be leading in the polls in
Wisconsin but he is in 4th place among Blue presidential candidates
in fund raising during the 3rd quarter and will be heavily outspent
as the race moves forward; Chris Wallace excoriated Blu Representative Val
Demings for Pelosi doing a Texas two step in authorizing an impeachment inquiry
without a House vote to protect Blues in districts that Trump won; Mexico has
long since ceased to be the Amigo Land as a kidnapped police chief was found beheaded
in Cancun and a National Geographic journalist
was shot in the leg in Juarez with two drug dealers he was interviewing one of
whom died; O’ Rourke got slammed by a person at one of his rally events in Phoenix
whose mother was a legal immigrant over illegal immigration he supports; TSA
picked up another black eye as did Delta when a woman without ID or a boarding
pass somehow managed to board a Delta flight to Orlando and was caught only when
she took another held by a ticketed passenger); in Chicago through October 5,
2019, 2160 have been shot of whom, 372 have died; in Baltimore with a fraction
of Chicago’s population, 258 have been murdered in Baltimore (when will Chicago
and Baltimore get serious about this carnage or is this the case of true racism
as a Blue run city turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to the slaughter of people
of color by people of color and when will the left focus on the problem of
color on color shootings in Blue run cities which have been more deadly and
more numerous than random mass shootings?
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link
to Les Paul and Mary Ford, the fact that enter pourparler before
entering into business discussions, and a relevant quote on cerebal
palsy by Diogo Mainardi, secure in the knowledge
that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events like Father’s Day,
college graduations, birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know that

price tailored to the event and the recipient. You need only contact me

Les Paul lived to be 94; Mary Ford’s walker was alcohol and she died much
earlier on September 30, 1977 at age 53 from complications from alcohol abuse.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “pourparler”

Reflections
on cerebal palsy from the father whose child suffers from it: “My words to
Anna, as we stood contemplating the Scuola Grande di San Marco, moments before
entering Venice Hospital, came true: 'With a façade like that, I could even
accept having a deformed child.
I accepted Tito's cerebral palsy.
I accepted it as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I accepted it with delight. I accepted it with enthusiasm. I accepted it with love.”― Diogo Mainardi, The Fall: A Father’s Memoir in 424 Steps
