Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For November
3, 2016 Only
6 waning but increasingly vitriolic and
hypocritical days to go until the only polls that matter close; it is going
from bad to worse for the Clinton campaign as reports out yesterday spoke of a
99% probability that her private server was hacked by at least 5 foreign
intelligence agencies; the NYPD is investigating Wiener and possibly the
Clintons for sexual perversions with minors; the FBI has made its pay for play
investigation of the Clinton Foundation a top priority; the DOJ and Lynch are
evidently doing everything possible to derail the FBI’s investigation and Obama
has switched gears and is attacking Comey; polls are surging in Trump’s favor and
given the rising stench of corruption surrounding the Clintons and her campaign
Trump’s call to “drain the swamp” is striking a responsive chord among voters
(feel sorry for those voters who have already voted as more and more
revelations on Clinton corruption are surfacing; in another example of waste
BART reported that one of its janitors made $225,000; more arrests of
protestors trying to block the Dakota Access Pipeline; after 108 years the Cubs
won another World Series 8-7 after 11 innings.
As
Trump is trying to become more presidential, going to www.lyingcrookedhillary.com is a great way to start your
day along of course with www.alaskanpoet.blogspot.com and reading Clinton
Cash would be a great read to
understand the quid pro quo mentality of the Clintons and if you want some
music in your life with a little satire-- https://safeshare.tv/x/kXjbXGyQDsE

1. Culture Day—celebrated as a
national holiday in Japan since 1948 to promote culture, the arts and academic
endeavors.
2. National Cliché Day—celebrating a way to make speech
boring and uninteresting with the prolific use of clichés. Here is a great link
to all the clichés your heart could ever seek: http://clichesite.com/alpha_list.asp?which=lett+1
3. 1986 Number One Song—celebrating the number one song in 1986
on a run of 2 weeks in that position “Amanda” by Boston. Here is a recording of
Boston performing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLZs7d1CPms
4. National Sandwich Day—celebrating that great invention by
the Earl of Sandwich for people on the go and school children in schools
without a cafeteria.
5. Rain Delay or Tear Delay—celebrating the birth on this day in 1918 of Bullet Bob,
Bob Feller a great pitcher for 18 seasons with the Cleveland Indians and the
first pitcher in the 20th Century to throw three no hitters; fearing
a loss, he must have been shedding tears over his beloved city that caused a
rain delay at the end of the ninth inning with the score tied 6-6.
On this day
in:
a. 1783 the Continental Army was
disbanded.
b. 1954 the first Godzilla was shown.
b. 1954 the first Godzilla was shown.
c. 1957 Sputnik 2 was launched into Earth
orbit carrying a dog Laika, the first animal to orbit the Earth on a one way
ticket as technology to return satellites to Earth had not yet been developed.
d. 1964 residents of Washington, D.C.
were granted the right to vote for president for the first time.
e. 1986 the Lebanese newspaper Ash
Shiraa reported that the United States had been secretly in blatant violation
of the Boland Amendment selling arms to Iran to facilitate the release of seven
Americans being held as hostage in Lebanon by Iranian backed terrorist groups
and to fund the operations of the Contras in Nicaragua—the scandal came close
to bringing down the Reagan presidency.
Reflections on how to admit error and apologize to the
American people, a skill which neither Obama nor his clone has ever been well
versed in: “First, let me say I take full responsibility for
my own actions and for those of my administration. As angry as I may be about
activities undertaken without my knowledge, I am still accountable for those
activities. As disappointed as I may be in some who served me, I'm still the
one who must answer to the American people for this behavior. And as personally
distasteful as I find secret bank accounts and diverted funds - well, as the
Navy would say, this happened on my watch." President
Ronald Reagan, March 4, 1987 address from the Oval Office to the American people. Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my
