Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 20, 2018 Professor Bird
continues to play the cat and mouse game with the Senate Judiciary Committee now
declaring that she is prepared to testify if her safety is guaranteed and the
hearing is “fair” (what in heaven’s name does that mean that she gets to
approve the questions in advance, that Kavanaugh cannot be present to hear her
or only Blues get to ask her questions; this farce has to come to a close and
Kavanaugh the subject of a political hatchet job by a despicable and shameless
Feinstein needs to come to an end); Bird’s two attorneys who are Democratic
donors have had a fund raiser for Wisconsin Senator Tammy Bruce cancelled (despicable
that a Blue Senator seeking reelection would use the confirmation chaos as an
excuse to raise money); Professor Fair at Georgetown who is anything but on a
profanity laced rant against Republicans and those who voted for them (if a Red
supporter probably kiss your chance at an A goodbye from this biased academic
hack); a Chevy Suburban transporting 7 illegals was involved in a head on
collision in Arizona, killing 3 of them and critically injuring the remaining
4; in a chilling reminder of the dangers illegals face trying to come to this
country the Border Patrol discovered almost 200 illegals including 12
unaccompanied minors in a remote desert in Arizona after they had been
abandoned by smugglers (catching a smuggler and putting him in prison for 20
years or more might be a deterrent to this dangerous crime); Deep State
traitors like Brennan and many Blues are ranting over Trump’s order to declassify
FISA documents and other documents subpoenaed by the House (Rosenstein must be
sweating blood as those documents will more likely than not reveal his
corruption and the corruption in the FBI and DOJ); on the senseless murder
front, 26 year old Snochia Moseley, a temporary worker for Rite Aid in Maryland,
reported for work with a hand gun and shot 6 people, 3 of whom died and 3 of
whom are expected to live before killing herself with a shot to her head; in
Chicago, Emanuel’s announcement that he will not seek reelection has not curbed
the gun violence as through September 19, 2018, 2226 people mostly of color
including anti-gun violence activist Delmonte Johnson a teenage leader of
GoodKids Mad City gunned down on Wednesday while playing basketball, have been
shot by mostly people of color, of whom 360 have died (when will Chicago 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 mostly people of
color by mostly people of color).
As always,

1. National Fried Rice Day—created by Benihana this year to
celebrate a great way to eat rice especially when enhanced with vegetables and
meats or seafood.

drink named after the Hindi word panch which means five which is the number of
ingredients in punch-spirits, lemons or limes, water and tea or spices.

4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move
from words beginning with “m” to words beginning with “n” is “narcolepsy” which means a pathological drowsiness
which seems to describe our government’s response to the opioid epidemic that
is sweeping the land.
5. Lasting Beauty—celebrating the birth on this day in
1934 of noted actress Sophia Loren who even today at 84 is considered one of
the most beautiful women in the world.
On this
day in:
a. 1881
Chester A. Arthur was sworn in as president following the death of James
Garfield the previous day.
b. 1962 James
Meredith, seeking to become the first African-American to be admitted to the
University of Mississippi, was temporarily barred from entering.
c. 1973
Singer Jim Croces and five others were killed when their light plane crashed on
takeoff from Natchitoches Regional Airport in Louisiana.
d. 1984 a
car suicide bomber from Hezbollah attacked the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon,
killing 24 people including the bomber.
e. 2007
15,000-20,000 people marched in Jena, Louisiana in protest to the conviction of
six black youths who had been convicted of assaulting a white classmate.
Reflections on this nation’s legal system: “If
you're poor and white in this country, you get involved in the legal system,
you're in trouble. But if you're poor and black, you're in hell.” Michael
Baisden, noted nationally syndicated radio talk show host.
