Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 19, 2016 Only 51 waning days to go until the
only polls that matter close for Trump to continue his pivot before we elect a
new president; in less than 24 hours the FBI has confirmed what we “deplorables”
concerned about radical Islam but branded by HRC as Islamaphobic have suspected
and have put out an APB on Ahmad Khan
Rahami, an Afghani America naturalized citizen (vetting?) who may be linked to
the bombings in New Jersey and New York (armed and dangerous and on the loose);
a 22 year old Somali refugee
who has been living in this country for 15 years was killed in the St. Cloud
stabbing spree by an off duty police officer (Minnesota with its significant Somali
refugee population is yet another portent of the problems we face with Obama’s
and Hillary’s plans to exponentially increase the number of Syrian refugees; the
Emmys last night were a pathetic reminder that our entertainment elite with
their scathing attacks on Trump are proof positive that we need to watch a lot
less TV; in frightening reminder of how body cams may not be the panacea to insuring
police accountability, the Oakland PD revealed that up to a fourth of body cam
videos had been deleted due to a “software glitch”; a black police officer with
17 years on the force has filed suit against Obama, Hillary, BLM and Al Sharpton
for inciting a race and attacks on police (where would we be without our lawyers?);
the Rams won their home opener in Los Angeles in a game without touchdowns.
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.

holidays and observances, a music link to Glenn Miller factoids of
interest for this day in history, a relevant quote from Lance Armstrong, while
looking forward to enjoying a cheeseburger, blessed with a positive
attitude and secure

On this day
in:
a. 1881 after being shot on July 2 of the same year, President
James Garfield died and was succeeded by Chester Arthur.
b. 1952 the U.S. Attorney General revoked the reentry permit of
Charles Chaplin due to a belief of his membership in the Communist Party and alleged
moral transgressions.
c. 1959 Nikita Khrushchev was banned from entering Disneyland
due to security concerns. d. 1982 Scott Fahlman posted the first two emoticons :-) and :-(
on the Carnegie Mellon University bulletin board.
e. 2010 the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill which commenced on April
10, 2010 was finally sealed; interestingly a movie about the disaster that
killed 11 workers will be released in theaters 11 days hence.
Reflections on the Deepwater Horizon Oil spill: “Extreme deep water
drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country's energy needs, but
your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling
have locked up safer areas. It's catching up with you. The tragic,
unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it." —Sarah Palin, blaming
the Gulf oil spill disaster on "extreme environmentalists," Facebook
message, June 2, 2010. If Hillary is elected, good chance she will
throw our energy independence under the bus. Please enjoy
