Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For January 29, 2020 Alan Dershowitz totally shredded the farcial “case” of
the House who as one of the premier constitutional scholars of the nation
established without any doubt that if the facts alleged were true there is no
impeachable offense period; Blues are continuing with the mantra of no
witnesses no trial making them look more and more like the party hell bent on
stripping Americans of the result of their votes in 2016 and trying to impact
2020 with bogus impeachment charges; the cack stench was overpowering from CNN
as former Clinton hack now pundit, Joe Lockhart claimed Dershowitz’s arguments
were un-American compared to those of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini (the
rhetoric from the left is going to new heights of absurdity as Americans are
tired of this farce and want to regal in the positive economic news; on the
coronavirus front, deaths and new cases continue to climb while vaccine makers
are scrambling 24/7 to create a vaccine (one such stock is VIR which soared
almost one third in two days); the View lived
up to its clueless moniker while looking like ignorant biased fools in arguing
with Alan Dershowitz on impeachment; no one on the Trump has ever claimed the
Wall would be an easy and complete fix as a tunnel under the border ¾’s of a
mile long has been discovered between Tijuana and Otay Mesa to be used in
smuggling drugs and maybe illegals (hopefully we are emplacing thousands of
sensors to detect excavation and underground traffic); when you have billions
to spend on ads maybe an urge to hit the wall with anything and see if it
sticks as Mike Bloomberg infamous for his war on sugar in large sodas has and
ad touting a pint of Big Gay Ice Cream (which has three outlets in New York
(trying to purge Nanny moniker or making a play for the gay vote?); in a
reminder of how crowded space has become, two defunct satellites narrowly
missed each other in the skies over Pennsylvania to send a path of debris into
space; in Chicago, as of January 28,
2020, 151 people have been shot of whom 26 have died; Baltimore with a fraction
of Chicago’s population and hoping against all hopes that 2020 will not be a
record in terms of deaths has dropped back to second behind Chicago with 24
murders by shootings (lead (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 Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, the fact you are not guilty of obloquy,
a relevant quote by Taylor Swift

1. National Puzzle Day—created by Jodi Jill, a nationally
known puzzle maker, to promote solving puzzles as a means of enjoyment and keeping
the dogs of dementia at bay.
2. Seeing
Eye Dog Day—commemorating the opening of the Seeing Eye Dog School by a
blind man Morris Frank on this day in 1929 and the tremendous contribution to
mobility seeing eye dogs provide to the blind and visually impaired.
3. 1942 Number
1 Number One Song— the number one song in 1942 on this day on a run of 6
weeks in the position was “Chattanooga Choo Choo” by Glenn Miller and His
Orchestra. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGBwmLRNLJ4 Glenn served in the U.S. Army during World War
II entertaining the troops and sadly his plane flying from England to Paris to
move his band to France to be closer to the front to entertain the troops was
lost over the English Channel on December 15, 1944.
4. Word of the Day—today’s
word of the day as we move to words starting with “o” is “obloquy” which means slander
or censure which is what Schiff deserves for his lies during the Impeachment
farce.
5. Runway to
Addiction—celebrating the birthday on this day in 1960 of one of the first
super models, Gia Caranga, who unfortunately became addicted to heroin and died
of AIDs from HIV contaminated needles on November 16, 1986.
On this day
in:
a. 1936 to
the joy of Major League Baseball fans, the first inductees to the Baseball Hall
of Fame in Cooperstown were announced.
b. 1963 to the joy of
pro football fans, the first inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in
Canton, Ohio were announced.
c. 1980 Rubik’s Cube made its
international debut at the Ideal Toy Corp. at Earl’s Court in London.
d. 2002 President Bush in his annual
State of the Union Speech castigated three nations that sponsor terrorism as
the Axis of Evil—Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
e.
2009 Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was removed from office following his
conviction of trying to sell the Senate Seat vacated by Barack Obama following
his election to the presidency.
Reflections on crosswords
“Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's
no right answer” Taylor Swift, noted popular singer.
