Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For January 27, 2017 It may only be photo opts but the anarchy of American
cities declaring themselves to be “sanctuary cities” has just claimed its first
surrender in Miami which hopefully the renegade mayors of San Francisco, L.A.,
Chicago, and New York in order to preserve federal funding will come to their
senses and no longer support the nonsense of not responding to detainer
requests from ICE (God help the Blues who once again try to block Kate’s Law as
more and more parents face the agony of a child killed by an illegal alien—vote
them out); CAIR which is a complete sham for promoting the idea of peaceful
Muslims slammed President Trump’s proposed executive orders on suspending visas
of persons coming from radical Islam infected areas and freezing Syrian
refugees (what about the fact that radical Islam is slaughtering Muslims in
increasing record numbers does this pathetic group not get, understand or get
on the front lines to protest?); at a time when we need unity more than ever
the Blues seem to be on a “not now not ever” campaign against President Trump
with Senator Gillibrand (the one pathetic Senator voting against Mathis-how out
of touch with reality of a dangerous world can a New York liberal be?) trying
to lead the pack; after the Women’s March to protest Trump a pro life march
will occur today in the swamp (ironic that the news today was of a pregnant
woman who after being diagnosed with cancer and enduring chemo became pregnant
and after the cancer reappeared had deliver prematurely not one but four
children who are still in ICU but doing well—what a precious gift is the gift
of life); California has too often been at the forefront of radical ideas but
the latest one tops the list as a petition to put on the ballot the succession
of this state from the United States has been filed (if we had a two party
state instead of a leftist Blue super majority state never would have
happened—time for anyone with intelligence, drive, and money to find perhaps
another state and pack clothes to deal with the less than pleasing weather); in
yet another example of why we must move quickly to reduce taxes and unshackle
the regulatory chains strangling business for the fourth quarter we find that
the economy grew at an annual anemic rate of 1.9% (just another final parting
gift from a clueless and failed president); ending on a sad note through Thursday
as President Trump is raising the possibility of sending in federal agents to
Chicago, 266 mostly blacks were shot by mostly blacks in Chicago with 46
fatalities and from Mayor Emanuel and the BLM nothing but the sounds of
silence.
As always, I
hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Toni
Braxton, factoids of interest for this day in history, a reflection on the
Holocaust by a survivor Zygmunt Bauman, hoping you approach issues in a zetetic
manner, 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. International Holocaust Remembrance Day—observed since 2005 by the UN but as we see in the lands
occupied by radical Islamists like ISIS genocide is still alive and well and
the civilized world seems helpless to kill without mercy the fanatics who
continue that horrific practice.
2. National Geographic Day—celebrating the
formation of the National Geographic Society on this day in 1888.
3. Number One Song in 1996—celebrating
the number 1 song in 1997 on a long run of 11 weeks in that position “Un-Break
My Heart” by Toni Braxton. Here is a link to her performing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Rch6WvPJE
4. Word of
the Day—the word of the day is “zetetic” which means proceeding by investigation or inquiry
which is always better than relying on false news which is the new normal in
today’s politically charged world.
5. For the Left Big Eddie Is Always Ready—bemoaning the birthday of Ed Schulz, a very left wing
commentator who finally found MSNBC to be too conservative for his leftist leanings
and moved to the RT Network funded out of Moscow.
On this day in:
1. 1606 the trial
of Guy Fawkes and his conspirators began which would end with their execution
on January 31 of the same year.
2. 1944 the 900
day siege of Leningrad (St. Petersburg) was finally lifted.
3. 1967 the Soviet
Union, United States and the United Kingdom signed a treaty banning the
deployment of nuclear weapons in outer
space.
4. 1973 the Paris Peace Accords were signed
bringing an end to the Vietnam War in form only as the war would continue
without U.S. involvement until South Vietnam fell in 1975.
5. 1980 through the cooperation of the U.S.
and Canadian governments six U.S. diplomats were secreted out of Iran.
Reflections on the Holocaust and why the evil it represents should
never be allowed to repeat itself: “The risk of the
Holocaust is not that it will be forgotten, but that it will be embalmed and
surrounded by monuments and used to absolve all future sins.” Zygmunt Bauman Noted Polish born sociologist and
historian of the Holocaust Please enjoy
