April 26, 2023 Ridley's Believe It Or Not

 

Biden has two massive drags on his campaign, one he can cut lose from and the other somewhat impossible. Kamala Harris and her cackling and chuckling and word salad coupled with the fact that the odds of Biden living out a second term are probably not very good and he should replace her (would not want to see any acts by him to improve his chances but if Trump is on the ticket an anti-Trump fervor still alive and well will go to the polls in droves and since I value country would suggest someone like Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles ) The other is son Hunter whose connections with China will become increasingly problematic along with his other legal issues as an IRS whistleblower has come forward asking for protection due to the alleged mishandling of the investigation by the IRS. Maybelline marketing executives may have been asleep and missed Bud Lights’ boycott inducing ad fiasco, but the cosmetic powerhouse has announced its partnership with TG Dylan Mulvaney. It is still early in the gaffes during presidential campaign cycle but Blues seem to be closing ranks in support of the Biden/Harris ticket on the issue of his age. 2 Virginia Commonwealth lawmakers, Monty Mason, a father with 2 daughters, and Shelly Simonds, a mother with 2 daughters, were caught on a hot mic railing against parents’ rights in the education of their children (like Animal Farm where all parents are equal but elected lawmaker parents are more equal). Biden desperate to conceal his cognitive decline was caught with a crib sheet and the question the first reporter would ask him. Where is the Gene McCarthy of the Blues that realize the American public in their choices deserve better? (Robert Kennedy, Jr. like his father against LBJ and the Vietnam War has stepped in but his speaking skills are atrocious).

          Famous Quotes on Events and Issues: Rose George, noted British journalist on |carbon emissions of shipping goods:   Shipping is the greenest method of transport. In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking. But it's not benign, because there's so much of it. So shipping emissions are about three to four percent, almost the same as aviation's.”
