Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 20, 2016 Only 50 waning days to go until the
only polls that matter close for Trump to continue his pivot before we elect a
new president; kudos to the great police work in New Jersey and NYC have
captured alive this Islamist coward bent on killing Americans and kudos to
Dubai for catching his Pakistani wife (another familiar San Bernardino ring to
our open border who if this thug had waited would probably be a naturalized
citizen) as she was fleeing the
U.S.; in another blatant act of bias and advocacy distorted reporting,
CNN falsely claimed that Trump was promoting “racial profiling”; HRC is not
campaigning today but is meeting with some world leaders in NYC; while Obama
wants to open the spigot on migration from Syria, Germany’s Merkel regrets her
decision to let in some million refugees as her party lost another election
this one in Berlin (if one Willie Horton tanked Dukakis, think what 500,000
Syrian refugees will do to Clinton after the stabbings and bombings this
weekend); DHS aka the Keystone Kops admitted that almost 900 people from
nations of interest (aka nations with radical Islamic terrorists) who were
subject to deportation orders were granted citizenship http://alaskanpoet.blogspot.com/2016/09/hundreds-of-illegals-wdeportation.html;
in another example of desperation HRC
accused Trump of aiding and abetting ISIS (that makes about as much sense as a
claim that Churchill’s strong stand against Hitler aided and abetted the
Nazis); market on pins and needles awaiting a Fed decision on Wednesday on
whether it will raise rates as the president of Wells Fargo will be falling on
his sword before Congress testifying about some 2,000,000 fraudulent accounts
that were opened without customer consent or knowledge to generate bonus income;
ending on a humorous note but yet another example of how wacky California has
become due to the Blues, California passed legislation to limit bovine farting
(can hardly wait to see the studies later coming out that Beano is a cause of
cancer in rats).
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 Bing Crosby, factoids of
interest for this day in history, a relevant quote from Christopher Hitchens,
while looking forward to enjoying a glass of rum punch, 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 and the recipient. You need only contact me
for details.
1. National Gibberish Day—observed only once a year but daily in the offices of
Congress, the president and the bureaucratic officials that are hell bent to
make us mere mortals’ lives incredibly difficult.
2. National Take A Loved One To A Doctor Day—celebrating
the need to create awareness of the need for family members and friends to go
see medical professionals when illness or disease strikes.
3. 1944 Number One Song—celebrating the number
one song in 1944 on a run of nine weeks in that position “Swinging On A Star”
by Bing Crosby. Here is a recording of Bing Crosby performing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CDs067081E
4. National Rum Punch Day—this food holiday should
have been celebrated yesterday on International Talk Like
A Pirate Day but enjoy it anyway (in moderation as always).
5. Even Humans Can Be Ugly Ducklings—celebrating the birth on this day in 1934 of Sofia Scicolone called by her wet nurse as the “ugly duckling” and in her teen years as the “thin stick,” but now known to her fans around the world as Sophia Loren and still going strong at 82 years of age.
5. Even Humans Can Be Ugly Ducklings—celebrating the birth on this day in 1934 of Sofia Scicolone called by her wet nurse as the “ugly duckling” and in her teen years as the “thin stick,” but now known to her fans around the world as Sophia Loren and still going strong at 82 years of age.
On this day
in:
a. 1946 the first Cannes
Film Festival was held in Cannes, France.
b. 1962 James Meredith, an African American student, was
temporarily barred from enrolling in the University of Mississippi; but was admitted
after the Court of Appeals found the governor of Mississippi in contempt of
court and ordered him jailed and fined $10,000 a day until Meredith was
admitted which he soon was.
c. 1971 Hurricane Irene made landfall in Nicaragua, weakened and
had enough steam to pass through Nicaragua and enter the Pacific where it gained
enough strength to reacquire hurricane status with a new name Hurricane Olivia
the first known hurricane to cross from the Atlantic into the Pacific.
d. 2001 before a Joint Session of Congress, President Bust declared
a “War on Terror,” a war which is still being waged, but under this feckless
president as the weekend events in Minnesota, New Jersey and New York
demonstrated, not very well, devoid of a
winning strategy.
e. 2011 the U.S. Armed Forces ended its “don’t ask, don’t tell”
policy with respect to gays and lesbians serving in the military and opened up
the military to them.
Reflections on the War on Terror after seeing the hijacked planes
fly into the World Trade Center: “Here we are then, I was
thinking, in a war to the finish between everything I love and everything I
hate. Fine. We will win and they will lose. A pity that we let them pick the
time and place of the challenge, but we can and we will make up for that.” Christopher
Hitchens, noted journalist and author who drank and smoked himself to death in
2011. Please enjoy
