Ridley’s
Believe It Or Not For January 23, 2016, 363 days to go
in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term. If you have not seen the
movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of
Benghazi strongly recommend you should see it—good chance you might not
want to support Hillary Clinton with a memory of the “it’s a video” claim
especially when the evidence coming out is that on her unsecure server she
placed SAP material some of which may have endangered our human intel assets in
the field. As always, I hope you enjoy Saturday’s holidays and observances, a
music link to Perry Como; factoids of interest, a relevant quote from Mac Davis,
looking forward to enjoying a slice of your favorite pie, blessed with a
positive attitude and secure in the knowledge that
if you want to find a gift for any memorable event like 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.
