Ridley’s Believe
It Or Not For February 6, 2019 President Trump delivered his SOTUS with
resister in chief directly on camera behind him who actually applauded and
stood up from time to time, especially when
Trump told the Blue women members of Congress not to sit down there’s more and praised that the Congress has the highest number of females in its history; Blue reaction and MSM reaction was predictably negative as
Trump told the Blue women members of Congress not to sit down there’s more and praised that the Congress has the highest number of females in its history; Blue reaction and MSM reaction was predictably negative as
Schumer slammed
him for being Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
(polls taken after the speech how overwhelming approval of Americans who
watched it)0ppo; amazingly, most Blues remained seated and withheld applause
when Trump was touting record low unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, and
Asians (sadly most Blues want Trump to fail with his economic policies to the
detriment of this nation); in Virginia rocked by black face and KKK photo of
the governor in his yearbook is being further rocked by the allegations made by
Vanessa Tyson that
Fairfax forced
her to perform oral sex on him in 2004 as she has retained the same firm that
represented Ford in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings and to ice the scandal
cake the Blue Attorney General who is third in line admitted wearing black face
at a party in 1980 (Northam and Fairfax should heed calls to resign but the AG
probably should not as the fourth in line is the Virginia Speaker of the House
who is Red and it will interesting to if fellow Democrats heed Senator Hirano’s
call that women need to be believed); New Jersey a high tax state has a bill
before its Blue governor to allow the creation of utilities to tax homeowners and
businesses with paved driveways and parking lots which result in runoff during
rain and snow storms (Reds are calling this a “rain tax”; in Douglas County, Colorado
a middle school teacher is facing dismissal for misidentifying Nick Sandmann
and and tweeting that the student so misidentified
was a Hitler Youth (the students were not public figures so the protection of
the Sullivan case will not be available to them in the defamation suits that
will soon be filed).

Mutiliation—created by the UN to fight against the barbaric practice of

from Africa and the Middle East have not eschewed.

former governor of California and President of the United States who must be
rolling over in his grave over the gridlock in the Swamp.
3. 2012 Number One Song— the number one song on this day in 2012 on a run of 2
weeks in that position was “Set Fire to the Rain” by Adele. Here is a
recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri7-vnrJD3k
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning with
“n” to words beginning with “o” is “ophidiaphobia” which means a fear of
snakes a trait which Indiana Jones struggled with in all his movies.

birth on this day in 1940 of noted TV journalist and author of The Greatest Generation, the generation
of Americans that fought in World War II, Tom Brokaw who anchored NBC’s The Nightly News for 21 years, retiring
in 2004

Texas Instruments filed a patent for the first integrated circuit.
c. 1976 the President of Lockheed Carl Kotchian admitted before
a Senate subcommittee that Lockheed had paid $3,000,000 in bribes to Japanese

d. 1998 Washington National Airport was renamed Ronald Reagan
National Airport.
e. 2018 SpaceX Heavy made its maiden flight.
Reflections on SpaceX
by its founder: “On one of the SpaceX flights, we had a secret payload: a wheel
of cheese. We flew to orbit and brought it back, so it was the world's first
'space cheese.' It was, in part, a tribute to Monty Python.” Elon Musk
