Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For June 15, 2019 To the predictable howls of the ACLU and the pro illegal alien
lobbies, Governor De Santes of Florida signed a law banning cities from
becoming sanctuary cities and failing to cooperate with ICR (finally some
sanity on this lawless sanctuary city issue); after the jury tacked on $33
million of punitive damages against Oberlin College in the defamation case brought
against by a bakery, Bill Maher lashed out against the political correctness that
has infected the progressive movement (the decision might lead the left to
think twice or three times before tossing the race card out on the slightest
pretext with little prior investigation of the facts and that will be a positive
thing); a Fort Worth, Texas deputy sheriff with 19 years on the force was found
mortally wounded in his personal car parked in the sheriff’s parking lot across
the street from the sheriff’s office; Memphis had a mini-riot on its hands
following a shooting incident involving a suspect with felony warrants who allegedly
stepped out of his car with a gun and was shot and killed by police; Don Lemon
the biased pseudo journalist is at it again slamming Trump for allegedly being behind
the move to block Tubman’s replacement of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill; Sarah
Sanders the target 24/7 by the MSM who is leaving as press secretary this month
is be slammed by the very same media for not make the president more accessible
to the press which is a total fabrication of the truth; a three judge panel has
ruled it is not illegal to possess pot in prison but it is still illegal to
smoke it (having inmates stoned all the time would probably greatly reduce
prison violence and deaths); on the medical front people with infections of Clostrodium difficile, a drug resistant bacteria
that claimed 25,000 lives in 2015, are experimentally being treated by the
transfer of fecal material from an uninfected person to an infected one but
such experiment claimed two victims where the transplanted material was
infected with e coli; we all know that eagles soar through the but we now
have video that they also are graceful swimmers, swimming with a butterfly stroke
through the water: https://watchtvnow.co/?adprovider=AppFocus1&source=d&device=c&creative=344075116530&keyword=&matchtype=&adposision=none&placement=www.dailymail.co.uk&target=&gw=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuNWntNzr4gIVh4VpCh327wphEAEYASAAEgI0g_D_BwE ; through
June 13, 2019 1094 people have been shot in Chicago of whom 205 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).
1. World
Wind Day—created by the European Wind Energy Association in 2007 to
promote the use of wind energy as an alternative to fossil fuels and the
reduction of carbon emissions.
2. National
Beer Day (United Kingdom)—created in 2015 by Jane Payton to
promote to consumption of beer which the English make in great and varied
quantities and celebrated on this date because it represents the date the Magna
Carta was signed which in clause 35 mentions there shall be only one measure
for beer, the London quarter.
3. 1946 Number One Song—the
number one song on this day in 1946 for 10 weeks in that position was “The
Gypsy” by The Ink Spots. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6g5CkyWAo. The
group was very popular in the 40’s and 50’s until in disbanded in 1954 but had the
unusual distinction since they never protected the name of having some 100
groups subsequent to disbandment use the name.
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 “perduellion” which Brennan idiotically has
a tendency to claim Trump is guilty of.
5. Wailing
into Stardom and Hall of Fame—celebrating the birth on this day of
1937 of Waylon Jennings, noted country and western singer who battled and beat
cocaine addiction in 1984 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame
in 2001 before his death from complications of diabetes on February 13, 2002.

Reflections
on alternative energy sources not fossil fuels: “We are like tenant farmers chopping down
the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature's
inexhaustible sources of energy - sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on
the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait
until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” Thomas A. Edison very astute
observation into the future by a brilliant inventor.
