Ridley’s
Believe It Or Not For June 1, 2019 The 12 fatalities in the Virginia Beach
shooting by a disgruntled employed have just been identified as Ilhan Omar
rants once again show she is no star blaming the NRA for the deaths (rush to
judgment when no evidence that the shooter had not purchased the pistol legally
and or had passed any background checks); Nunez slammed the redacted portion of
the Mueller report which redacted Dowds request for a heads up of Flynn’s
testimony “not only for the president but for the country” and denies “asking
for confidential information”; while the MSM is in a frenzy over the
possibility of an impeachment the fact of the matter is that less than 10% of
the House is in favor (pro impeachers like Tlaib, Omar, AOC, Green, Sherman, Waters
are like lemmings running off the cliff to their reelection doom); on the Blue
Presidential campaign front, the illegal alien supporter queen appears to be
falling flat as she is struggling to come up with a compelling reason why
voters should vote for her (maybe if she would open her eyes and ears to the
crisis at the border and work with Trump and the Reds to stem the tsunami of
illegals that might change); on the abortion front, California governor Gavin
Newsom after welcoming illegals with promises of medical care is rolling out
the abortion welcome mat for abortion seekers; the gaffer in chief Joe Biden
while campaigning told a 10 year old girl that “I bet you are as bright as you
are good looking” which raised eyebrows; as the trade war between China and the
U.S. seems destined to last longer, with collateral damage as the number of
Chinese visiting the U.S. has fallen 5.8%; through May 30, 2019 951 people have
been shot in Chicago of whom 187 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).

3. 2017
Number One Song—the number one song on this day in 2017 on a run of 2 weeks in
that position was “This Is America” by Childish Gambino. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUa3GQI9m8I
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 “pauciloquent”
which means of few words which is a trait most politicians lack.
5.
Spin To Put—celebrating the
birth on this day in 1945 of noted shot putter Brian Oldfield who revolutionized
the sport with the Olfield Spin but whose body gave out on him in his later
years and forced him to use a cane and wheelchair for mobility until his death
at age 71.
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Childish
Gambino, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you are

Reflections on chemical
weapons: “Rabid Chinese ideologists who point nuclear, chemical and biological
weapons at us must have their reasons. And who is to say what their definition
of victory might be? A smoldering wreck of a world, under firm totalitarian
control, might be their ultimate aim. After all, communists have wrecked their
own and other countries again and again without even using nuclear weapons.” Origins of the Fourth World War ―Jeffrey
R.Nyquist
