Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 12, 2019 Napping Nadler’s
Kangeroo Court continued with “hearings” today with no witnesses only statements
of members since the Nadler quashed all attempts of the minority to call witnesses
further casting doubt on the illegitimacy of these proceedings which trace
their origin to fraud on behalf of the use of a false and salacious Steele
dossier that Comey’s anti-Trump FBI bought hook, line and sinker (Nadler so
acted since minority hearings would delay impeachment that is a done deal for
the biased anti-Trumpers on his Kangaroo Court); although Horowitz found no
evidence of bias that seems to be clearly in his face, Sessions was deeply troubled
over an FBI altering a critical email used in presenting to the FISA court the
DOJ’s request for a warrant on Carter Page (lost is all the CNN and MSNBC spin
is this troubling fact—the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign and presidency
based on a false and unverified dossier bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign,
a very troubling threat to our democracy; Rep. Spanberger may think she is like
the Magnificent Seven but at a town hall she faced the reality that many
Americans are outraged over the fraud that’s called impeachment hearings; the
reptilian brain seems to have struck again this time at DNN where executive producer
for CNN Politics, Stephen Bursk is stepping down due to allegations of sexual
harassment; the City of Oakland awash in homeless like its neighbor the City of
Feces across the Bay is thinking of housing 1000 homeless on a cruise ship
(wonder if irate residents will untie the mooring lines so it would just float
away?); Felicity Huffman who had her wrist slapped with a minor jail sentence
has revealed her daughter Georgia is heading to $73,000 a year Vassar next
year; in Chicago with a new interim police chief now having to replace a fired
police chief as of December 11, 2019, 2598 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?).

1. National Poinsettia Day—commemorating the cuttings of the plant that the first minister to Mexico
Joel Robert Poinsett sent back to his native Charleston where the plant was a
great hit and soon become associated with Christmas and today dominates floral
holiday decorations in a wide range of colors other than just red.
2. National Ambrosia Day—originally reputed to be
the nectar of the Gods in Greek Mythology, but now a popular fruit salad made
with sour cream or yogurt popular in the South which usually includes crushed
pecans.
3. 2006 Number 1 Number
One Song— the number one song in 2006 on this day on a run of 10
weeks in the position was “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EwViQxSJJQ.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “pudibund”
which means prudish which is a trait in our population that becomes rarer each
and every day.
5. It’s All in the Genes--celebrating the birthday
on this day in 1915 of Old Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, noted singer, actor and
leader of the Rat Pack who smoked heavily and drank heavily but dodged the
disease bullet to die at age 82 of a heart attack.
On this day in:
a. 1917 Father J. Flanagan in Nebraska
founded Boys Town for wayward boys.
b. 1937 Japanese planes attacked and sank the U.S.
gunboat the USS Panay on the Yangtze
River in China.
c. 1942 German troops began a failed operation
known as Winter Storm to attempt to relieve the 6th Army trapped by
the Russians in Stalingrad.
d. 1950 Paula Ackerman became
the first woman rabbi appointed to perform rabbinical services and performed
her services as a rabbi.
e. 2000 SCOTUS ruled in favor of George W. Bush in the case of Bush v. Gore which awarded Florida’s Electoral Votes to
Bush and the election to him.
Reflections on Boys’ Town: “I
know when the idea of a boys’ home grew in my mind, I never thought of anything
remarkable about taking in all of the races and all of the creeds. To me, they
are all God’s children. They are my brothers. They are children of God. I must protect them to the best of my ability.”
Father J. Flanagan.
