Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For May 6, 2019 As the economy is
surging in high gear and all cylinders, Blues are struggling with an economic
message to run on even as Spartacus tries to convince us that the economy is
doing well because of steps Obama took (what a snooker attempt when Obama was
the only president never to achieve a 3% growth rate and had more Americans on
food stamps and homeless); Mueller is supposedly set to appear before the House
to explain his Report findings while the Blues remain in a shameful meltdown
mode ranting that Barr should be impeached for not releasing the complete
unredacted Report and lying to Congress (not one Blue has read the 95%
unredacted Report which is available to us all to make our own conclusions as
to if Barr tried to deceive us in his summary—what a pathetic biased crock); the
MSM watching its ratings dive still is 24/7 lining up Blue hacks and shills
pushing for an impeachment of Trump and Barr; terrorists in Gaza have launched
more than 600 rockets into Israel, killing 4 and wounding 4 while Israeli
retaliatory bombs and shells have killed more that a dozen Palestinians; on the
trade war front, Trump has indicated that tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods
will rise to 25% on Friday due to the failure of the Chinese to agree on a
trade deal; as Beyond Meat’s IPO was a huge success for investors, Blue Nalu is
a San Diego startup seeking to grow fish from cells without skin, tail or fin
only muscle and bring the product to market (as a former Alaskan salmon seiner
I wish them luck though idea seems farfetched); through May 4, 2019 705
people have been shot in Chicago of whom 138 have died (what makes the Smollett
case so frustrating is that it forced the city of Chicago to allocate scarce
detective resources when in only 9% of the shootings resulting in murder have a
suspect being charged this year).
As always, I
hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to 50
Cent, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you have
managed to not parbreak with the gridlock prevailing in the Swamp,
and a relevant quote from Jane Green on melanoma, secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events like college
graduations, birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know that the
Alaskanpoet can provide you with a unique customized poem at a great price
tailored to the event and the recipient. You need only contact me for
details.
1. International Day of the Sport for Development and the Peace—created by the U.N. General
Assembly in 2013.
2. Melanoma Monday—created by the American Society of Dermatologists
to promote awareness of the deadly skin cancer melanoma which kills 20 people a
day and can be prevented with skin block and long sleeved shirts and hats.
3. 2003 Number One Song—the number one
song on this day in 2003 on a run of 9 weeks in that position was “In Da Club”
by 50 Cent. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qm8PH4xAss
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning with “o”
to words beginning with “p” is “parbreak” which means to vomit which
describes to a tee our reaction to the dribble that is coming out of the Swamp.
5. Cinco De Mayo Is Your Friend Big Timer—celebrating the birthday
on this day in 1961 of noted actor, producer and director George Clooney who
dabbled into tequila production and sold his tequila company Casa Amigos for $700
million.
On this day
in:
a. 1937 the airship Hindenburg
was destroyed in a minute by an explosion while trying to land at
Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 36 people.
b. 1949 EDSAC the world first practical digital stored
computer ran its first computing operation.
c. 1994 Queen Elizabeth II and French Premier Francois Mitterand
officiated at the opening of the Channel Tunnel.
d. 2001 during a
visit to Syria, Pope John Paul II became the first Pope to visit a mosque.
e. 2010 in a space of just 36 minutes the Dow Jones Industrial
Average plunged nearly 1,000 points.
Reflections on Melanoma:
“Melanoma is not the
most common of skin cancers, but it is the most dangerous if not found in the
early stages.” Jane Green, noted American author and malignant
melanoma victim who recognized the disease early and is still alive today.
