Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For July 24, 2017 The hysteria of the Russian collusion delusion and the new
narrative of obstruction of justice among the left and the MSM continues
unabated as all indications point to Trump signing the Russian sanctions bill
(news flash to the Waters, Pelosi, and Schumers of the world the threat to our
democracy rests with the Blue idiots of the Swamp who will not accept the
simple fact that Trump won and a felon lost); Schumer has finally said something
that is not insipience that Clinton needs to look herself in the mirror to see
the cause of her loss and that the Democrats had had no message only that they
were against Trump; in another example
of the feeding frenzy of anti-Trump hysteria, a poll out of 1200 voters evenly
split 42%-42% that Trump be impeached (unbelievable); Mueller and his Clinton
supporting team are expanding their probe like the oil spill of the Exxon Valdez
trying to find anything on what looks like a true political witch hunt with no
smoke and certainly no fire; the San
Antonio semi truck driver will appear in court today as the death toll climbed
from 9 to 10; on the history front, the USS
Constitution left its dry dock for Boston Harbor after a two year
restoration project; India and China continue to rattle sabers and Hamas is
back to its old tricks of launching
rockets into Israel; through July 23, 2110
people have been shot in Chicago 369 of whom have died (sadly the ATF agents
Trump has sent has not put a damper on the carnage).

1.
Pioneer Day (Utah)—celebrating
the entry of Brigham Young and the first
wagon train of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on this day in 1847
who had fled Nuavoo, Illinois.
2. National
Tequila Day—who would have ever imagined that the ingenuity of humans to
produce alcohol would have figured out how to turn cacti into tequila.
3. 1989 Number One Song—the number one song in
1989 on a run of 2 weeks in that position was “Toy Soldiers” by Martika. Here is her performance of the song:

4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “intemerate” which means pure or
undefiled which is a trait most politicians quickly lose once in the Swamp as
the need to constantly raise money kills whatever idealistic motives that caused
them to seek office in the first place.
5. The
Mailman Rang More Than Twice—celebrating the birth on this day in
1963 of Karl Malone, known as the Mailman and with teammate John Stockton were
formed and unstoppable back door combo on the court.
On this day in:
a. 1847 Richard Hoe
patented the rotary type printing press.
b. 1901 William Sydney
Porter who wrote under the pen name of O. Henry was released from prison after
serving three years for embezzling a bank.
c. 1929 the Kellogg-Briand
Pact denouncing war as an instrument of foreign policy went into effect only
shredded in a little over ten years later with a repeat on a larger scale of
the horrors of World War I with the invasion of Poland by Germany.
d. 1974 SCOTUS ruled 9-0
that President Richard Nixon did not have the authority to withhold the
Watergate Tapes and ordered him to turn the tapes over to the Watergate Special
Prosecutor.
e. 2001
Simeon-Saxe-Coburg Gotha, the last tsar of Bulgaria when he was a child was
sworn in as Prime Minister of Bulgaria, the first monarch in history to regain
political power through a democratic election to a different office.
Reflections
on the Watergate Tapes: “After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive
war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory.
Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.” Bob Woodward Please enjoy the poems
