August 25. 2023 Ridley's Believe It Or Not

 



Biden was slammed by De Santis during the debate for his lack of empathy “no, no comment” is being excoriated by Maui residents for his it’s all about me moment when he met with some burnt out survivors some of whom had loved ones missing or feared dead as he repeated that behavior he exhibited when he talked about Beau’s death when he met with the loved ones of the  U.S. 13 Armed forces killed by a suicide bomber at the Kabul Airport during his botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Only difference here was he was conflating a minor kitchen fire started by lightning that was confined to the kitchen and quickly put out and lied that he almost lost his cat and Corvette along with his wife. That empathy lack prompted this sign for anyone in Maui to see:

               On the Hunter Biden scandal front, former fired Ukraine Prosecutor Viktor  Shokin who had been hired to investigate Burisma, is reiterating claims that he was fired due to pressure by Joe Biden who has previous bragged Ukraine was not going to get a dime of U.S. unless he was fired. He was investigating Burisma corruption which he felt would lead to corruption by Hunter Biden and Devon Archer. When will Biden acknowledge reality and stop claiming his son has done nothing wrong and he had no involvement or benefit from his son’s business dealings?
            On the medical front the cause of Bronny James sudden cardiac arrest while at practice for the USC Basketball team has been diagnosed as caused by a congenital heart defect which is treatable and being treated will enable Le Bron’s soon to return in the not too distant future to the basketball court.               On the political front, Patricia Krentcil, the “Tan Mom” who was subject to a viral arrest for taking her 5 year old to and tanning salon and who looks like the poster child for how to get melanoma from excessive exposure to the Sun without sun block is running for the Senate against incumbent Rick Scott in the Republican Primary.
              On the political front, Trump’s mugshot has caused the left to go lose it totally calling it the face of Medusa who if you gazed at her would be turned into stone while others claiming it looked like Stalin after be arrested by Tsarist police or Pablo Escobar, noted drug cartel leaders. The more over the top the leftist media go the more credibility they will lose if they have any left.

              Noted Holidays: Instant Ramen Day: Celebrating the release of the first instant ramen product, a chicken ramen, by Momofuku Ando and his company Nissin on this day in 1958—cheap, quick and easy to prepare but beware loaded with sodium in the sauce packet. If you really want to enjoy ramen a better way to do it is to visit a ramen restaurant where the broth is derived from boiling, usually pork or chicken bones for hours. If you want a recommendation you cannot go wrong at the Kashiwa Ramen, 1420 Baker Street Costa Mesa (657)232-0223. In addition to ramen the Karaage is excellent. https://www.thekashiwaramen.com/
