Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For May 12, 2017 The left and mainstream media continue to go
absolutely ballistic on the firing of James Comey the man they delusionally
blamed for the most failed candidate’s from the Democratic Party in modern
times loss throwing out the “I” word and demanding hearings (the FBI
investigation of the false Trump collusion goes on—chill out Cummings); the
hypocrisy from the media that should cause anyone to cancel any subscription
defies description—from total pariah because of his involvement in the Clinton
e-mail scandal to total martyrdom because he was fired; Brown takes a half
hearted step when this Blue hack should have been fired by reducing the budget
of the UC system by $50 million due to allegations of Napolitano’s secret slush
fund while raising tuition and pleading for more money (better than nothing but
this inept bureaucrat who has allowed to suppression of free speech should be
canned); Sessions announced that for federal drug crimes the DOJ will seek
maximum sentences which ignores the disease component of addiction and if
applied to users is a very bad idea; an executive order from Trump has created
a commission to study voter fraud which whether one is a Blue or Red should
concern us all if illegals are voting, dead people are voting, or if people are
voting more than once (watch for the left to go ballistic if recommendation of
voter ids are promulgated); in just another example of why we need a wall, a
six year old is fighting for his life after being in hit by an illegal DUI
alien who had been deported 15 times (how many citizens have to be put at risk
before the left finally says enough and gets serious with the rest of us to
secure the border)?; almost a stuck record or a remake of Groundhog Day, Chicago style, the
carnage in Chicago continued unabated in May with total shootings in 2017 through May 10
increasing by 23 to 1146 and the death toll by 5 to 198 a major tragedy that
the powers to be in Chicago seem to completely ignore.
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Mackelmore
and Ryan, factoids of interest for this day in history, hoping that you never
have to use the word floccinaucinihilipilification since it is way too hard top
pronounce and no one will know what you are talking about, a relevant quote
from Tom Synder, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like Mothers’ Day, 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 Nurses Day—celebrating
on the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth in 1820 the invaluable contribution of nurses to the care of patients
who are the only defense between a patient and the two legged gods of the earth
doctors whose bedside manner often sucks and whose ego is too often off the
charts.
2.Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome Day—promoting awareness of an affliction that may affect over a
million Americans that is not solved by another cup at Starbucks but which
affects adversely that person’s ability to perform work and basic life tasks.
3. 2013 Number One Song—celebrating the number one song in 2013 on
a run of 5 weeks in that position “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat.
Ray Dalton. Here is a recording of them performing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zNSgSzhBfM
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “floccinaucinihilipilification”
which means estimating something as worthless which given the amount of letters
used here describes the word but certainly better suited to our long winded
politicians.
5. In
A Cloud Of Smoke—celebrating the birth on this day in 1936 of late night TV shows
pioneer Tom Snyder who despite his trademark cloud of smoke in his show managed
to dodge the lung cancer bullet but still died of leukemia at the age of 71.
On this day
in:
a. 1551 the
oldest university in the New World, the University of San Marcos, was founded
in Lima, Peru.
b. 1784 the Treaty of
Paris, ending the Revolutionary War which was signed on September 3, 1783, took
effect.
c. 1933 the Agricultural
Adjustment Act designed to control production by granting subsidies to farmers
for not growing food was signed into law.
d. 1949 the Soviet Union
lifted its blockade of Berlin.
e. 2008 ICE conducted the
largest workplace raid in our history in Pottsville, Iowa arresting 400
illegals; no wonder we need an ironclad e-verify and strict enforcement against
employers who hire illegals.
Reflections from a late night TV host that are probably on point: “When everything is coming your way, you're probably
in the wrong lane.” Tom Snyder Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my twitter account below (if you
