March 31, 2023 Ridley's Believe It Or Not

 

It may seem like the politicized D.A. Bragg pot calling the kettle black but Bragg has come out swinging defending his decision to indict a notable ham sandwich and blasting Reds for “unlawful political interference” with the “judicial process.” Pelosi is being roasted for her idiotic tweet that Trump will have his to prove his innocence which is how the system works in the Axis of Evil but not here—D.A.’s burden. Former FBI weighed in on the indictment with a simple tweet “It has been a good day”  probably thinking it will add to the sales of his book A Higher Calling. While Nashville grieves and police continue their investigation into the mass shooting by transgender Audrey (Aiden), MSM censorship by omission is alive and well at CBS where staffers have been instructed in reporting on the shooting not to use the term transgender. NCAA Women’s March Madness Semifinals are tonight, sadly without Stanford Women playing.
Ridley’s Believe It Or Not March 31 2023
          Noted Holidays: International Day of Transgender Visibility: Created by Rachel Crandall in 2009 and reiterated by President Biden on March 31, 2021 to celebrate transgenders people and raise awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well to celebrate their contributions to society (ironic the day falls on the same day CBS is instructing its staffers to make Audrey (Aiden) invisible as a transexual). 
          Word of the Day:  The word of the day is “allonym” which is a nom de plume used by an author often to avoid persecution or censorship like O’ Henry  or Poor Richard or in my case “The Alaskanpoet.”.
          Number 1 Song: As we have left the past and returned to start the clock backwards from the present, the number 1 song on this day in 2022 was  “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals  on a run of 5 weeks non continuous to share with 21 other songs that achieved number 1 status  while 12 acts including Glass Animals achieved number 1 status for the first time.
