Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 15, 2016 Only 55 waning days to go until the
only polls that matter close for Trump to continue his pivot before we elect a
new president; as Trump’s poll numbers are surging, health records released for
both candidates with doctors claiming their patients are fit to be president;
Powell’s hacked emails slammed HRC, Bill (still doing Bimbos at home) and Trump
while Powell and Flynn are in a Blue on Blue snit spat; IRS Commissioner
Koskinen dodged an impeachment vote on the floor as the matter was referred to
the House Judiciary Committee; in another typical bias slant, CNN reporter
Christiane Amanpour claimed the media concern over Hillary’s health was sexist
(huh after millions saw a video of her collapsing after the campaign concealed
the fact she has pneumonia); in yet another example of growing tensions between
refugees and Germans, a brawl occurred between far right groups and asylum
seekers near Dresden; two more Gitmo detainees released have returned to the
battlefield; in yet another example of blatant political corruption the DHS is
refusing to release reports showing its failure to apprehend and deport illegal
aliens and instead using false figures in order to help Clinton; another killing
of a 13 year black by a white cop (what kind of parent allows their child to
have a BB gun that is indistinguishable from a real gun); finally the Show Me
State, Missouri will now allow its citizens to carry concealed weapons without
a permit.
As Trump
is trying to become more presidential, going to www.lyingcrookedhillary.com is a great way to start your day along
of course withwww.alaskanpoet.blogspot.com and reading Clinton Cash would be a great
read to understand the quid pro quo mentality of the Clintons.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s
holidays and observances, a music link to Tommy Dorsey with Frank Sinatra doing
the vocals, factoids of interest for this day in history, a relevant
quote from Agatha Christie, while looking forward to enjoying a plate of
linguine, blessed with a positive attitude and secure in the knowledge
that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events 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

1. Free
Money Day—celebrated 2011, on the anniversary the anniversary of the
bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers on this day in 2008; to observer the day
hand a stranger two bills or coins and ask him or her to keep one and pass the
other to another stranger.
2. World
Lymphoma Awareness Day—creating since 2004
awareness of and raising funds for lymphoma which is a cancer that strikes
around a thousand new cases a day.
3. 1940 Number One Song—celebrating, since I am
rapped out and hip hopped out, the number one song in 1940 on a long run of twelve
in that position “I Will Never Smile Again” by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra.
Here is a recording of Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra with a very young Frank
Sinatra performing the song.

4. National Linguine Day—celebrating not
bratwurst (start of German-American Heritage Month) or burritos (start of
Mexican-American Heritage Month) but this highly evolved omnivore’s favorite
pasta especially when served with clams in a white sauce with appropriate
amount of garlic.
5. It’s No Mystery—celebrating the birth on this day in 1890 of Agatha Christie, one very prolific mystery novelist whose 66 detective books and 6 romances sold billions of copies; she continue to write almost up to her death in 1976.

On this day

Laws depriving Jewish residents their German citizenship were passed.
c. 1950 in perhaps one of the most daring military maneuvers of
all time, under the command of General MacArthur, U.S. forces land at Inchon,
Korea.

the first person in boxing history to win the heavyweight title three times.
e. 1981 the John Bull

Reflections on why archeologists make great husbands: “An archaeologist
is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he
is in her.” Agatha Christies whose second husband for 46 years was an archeologist. Please enjoy
