Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For
July 27, 2016.
Only 177 days to go in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term and 236 days
since hiding Hillary has held a formal press conference a fact which Trump
pointed out this morning at his press conference of over an hour in front of a
potentially hostile press in what has to rank as one of the best press
conferences this poet has witnessed in a very long time; Hillary must be
sweating blood wondering if the Russians hacked into her private server and
have the 30,000 plus emails that she saw fit to delete and will release, many
of which may reveal the quid pro quo corruption of her and the Clinton
Foundation; despite the show of unity by the Sanders camp, beneath the surface
many Sanders supporters will not support Hillary especially since some of the
DNC leaked emails reveal bias against Israel; touching moment with respect to
the mothers who had lost children to police shootings or gang violence but
probably due to BLM influence no mothers of policemen killed in the line of
duty; finally the DNC put some American flags on stage; nice love speech by
Bill but still no discussion of radical Islam terror even as the FBI
announced a warning that we are facing a worldwide Diaspora of
radical Islam.
On the crime front, Hinckley
was released and all of the charges against the police in the Freddy Grey death
were dismissed, prompting Trump in his press conference to suggest that the
Baltimore should be prosecuted.

1. National Transatlantic Communication Day—commemorating the first sustainable
transatlantic telegraph cable on this day in 1866 thanks to the risks taken by
Cyrus Field.
2. Bagpipe Appreciation Day—celebrating
that great musical instrument that emits a continuous migraine inducing sound
akin to stepping on the tails of a hundred felines but without which a St.
Patrick’s Day Parade is second rate and a funeral of fallen first responders is
lacking. Here is a link to one of my favorites Garry Owen (the theme of the 7th
Cavalry). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNwu8qRllJ0
3. 1955 Number One Song—celebrating the number one song in 1955 on a run of 8 weeks in
that position “Rock Around The Clock” by Bill Haley and His Comets, the father
of rock and roll. Here is a link to Bill Haley and His Comets performing
the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgdufzXvjqw
4. National Scotch Day—celebrating
the perfect drink to go with bagpipes especially if one is of Scottish
heritage.
5. Is It Talent Or Drugs?—celebrating the birthday on this day in 1975 Alex Rodriguez, A-Rod to his fans, who became the youngest player to reach 500 home runs but after being suspended for a year due to doping has only 9 this year, leaving at 696 but still enjoying over $25 dollars on his contract.

On this day in:
a. 1666 to the displeasure of the Americans, the English
Parliament passed the Navigation Act which required that any cargo shipped to
the American Colonies had to be shipped by English ships leaving from English
ports.
b. 1789 the Department of Foreign Affairs (later renamed the
Department of State) was established.
c. 1890 a very troubled artist Vincent Van Gogh shot himself and
died two days later.
d. 1981 six year old Adam Walsh was kidnapped from a Sears
Department Store in Hollywood, Florida and his decapitated head was found two
weeks later. His death although tragic was not in vain as it spurred the creation
of the Code Adam program by retailers, public facilities and amusement venues
on what do in the case of missing children, the formation of the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the passage of the Adam Walsh Child
Safety and Protection Act.
e. 1996 a pipe bomb that killed one person and injured over one hundred
detonated in Atlanta, Georgia during the Summer Olympics, planted there by one
deranged individual Eric Rudolph who wanted to have the Olympics cancelled due
to the government’s funding of abortion.
Reflections on the bagpipes on Bagpipe Appreciation Day: “These are
bagpipes. I understand that the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he
saw a man carrying an indignant asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately the man
made sound never equaled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.” Alfred Hitchcock. Please enjoy the poems on events
