Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For December 11, 2019 No matter how the left and Blues try to spin the IG’s
report, Hurwitz’s testimony before the Senate revealed a complete disregard of
proper procedures that should have been followed to have alerted the FISA Court
to the bias and unverified nature of the Steele Dossier that formed the basis
of the two year nightmare aka the Mueller Report we have had to endure and
spend millions on in uncovering a nonexistent Russian collusion hoax (still
difficult to believe Horowitz found no evidence of bias at the FBI which
prompted the investigation of Trump so we may have to wait until Barr and
Durham reveal their disagreements with the IG’s Report; the Cack News Network
lived up to its reputation by not televising the opening statements of the
Senate Hearing with Hurwitz (watch CNN and you get fake news at both ends
either in the “fake news” it reports or the real news it chooses to omit to
report); after almost a year of preventing the USMCA from coming to the House
floor, Pelosi, ranting and spinning that the Blues should take credit for
improving it, has relented and allowed it to come to the House Floor for a vote
(the divisiveness in the Swamp has become so bad that Blues want the nation to
go into the economic tank to deprive Trump of one of his strong reelection
points, the strong economy); after millions of dollars and three years of
trying to find high crimes and misdemeanors to remove Trump from office, the
Blues have prepared two pathetically weak articles of impeachment, abuse of
power and obstruction of justice (Blues do not believe in equal branches of
government and must believe that the Ukrainian President is a liar); if one
thinks impeachment and a Senate acquittal will end Trump Derangement Syndrome,
do not hold your breath as anti Trumper California Blue Representative Bass
would be primed to impeach him again especially if the Blues took control of
the Senate; the City by the Bay has become the City of Feces and Needles and
that image plus high hotel rates have forced on of Silicon Valley’s icons to
move Oracle’s $64 million Open World Conference to Las Vegas next year; Pelosi
must be ruing the day she allowed Lying Schiff and Napping Nadler to conduct
impeachment hearings as the Bobbsey Twins of incompetence, partisanship and bias
have not moved the needle and a slight majority still favors not impeaching or
removing the president; in Lancaster, California, the NIMBY movement on
homeless reared its intolerant head as the city is considering an ordinance to
ban feeding the homeless on city property; in a possible copycat situation a
possible armed suspect was detained and the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station
was temporarily put on lock down this morning; in Chicago with a new interim
police chief now having to replace a fired police chief as of December 10, 2019,
2595 have been shot, of whom, 441 have died; Baltimore with a fraction of
Chicago’s population, is coming in second place in the amount of gun deaths as
322 have been murdered, a number which has passed all of 2014’s death and all
of 2016’s yearly total of 318 fatalities but 2017’s record of 342 looks like it
won’t be broken (when will Chicago and Baltimore 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 people of color by people of color and when will
the left focus on the problem of color on color shootings in Blue run cities
which have been more deadly and more numerous than random mass shootings?).
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link
to Chris Brown, the fact you do not live in a ptochocracy, a relevant quote
on committing fraud by of all people Bernard Madoffl, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like Father’s Day, 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. National App Day—commemorating the useful tool apps for smart phones have become and
celebrated on this day since 2017 although I am clueless as to who created the
observance.
2. International Mountain Day—created by the General
Assembly of the United Nations in 1998 to celebrate the importance of mountains
on this day in 2002 to our economy and for the billion plus people that live on
or near mountains which comprise a significant portion of the Earth’s land mass.
3. 2005 Number 1 Number
One Song— the number one song in 2005 on this day on a run of 5 weeks
in the position was “Run It” by Chris Brown. Here is a recording of the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWGvmdyF3bU.
Although famous for selling over 140 million records, he is also known for his
on camera assault of Rihanna.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “ptochocracy”
which means a government of beggars or paupers which given the homeless that
clog the streets of the Feces by the Bay perhaps describes San Francisco to a
tee.
5. It’s All in the Nails--celebrating the birthday
on this day in 1987 Rachel Leigh, a successful entrepreneur who founded Pear
Nova a high fashion nail lacquer company.
On this day in:
a. 1934 Bill Wilson, the co-founder of
Alcoholics Anonymous had his last drink and checked into rehab for the last
time.
b. 1972 in an end of an era, Apollo 17 became that
last manned spacecraft to land on the Moon.
c. 1997 the Kyoto Protocol designd to curb greenhouse emissions opened for signature
d. 2001 in a move approved by
the United States in the mistaken belief it would ameliorate and curb China’s
unfair trade practices and theft of intellectual property, China was admitted
to the World Trade Organization.
e. 2008 Bernard Madoff was arrested and
charged with securities fraud for a massive $64.5 billion Ponzi scheme, the
largest in U.S. history and was sentenced after a plea bargain to 150 years in a
federal prison where he now resides and where he will die.
Reflections on being wrong
to the tune of $64.5 billion of fraud: “In today's regulatory environment, it's
virtually impossible to violate rules ... but it's impossible for a violation
to go undetected, certainly not for a considerable period of time.” Bernard
Madoff Unfortunately for the over 4,000 investors who were defrauded for a long
period of time to the tune of $64.5 billion, Madoff was very wrong in his
observation.
