Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For October 24, 2017 Five time deported scumbag
Jose Zarate charged with the murder of Kate Steinle went on trial in sanctuary
city San Francisco; this scumbag will be found guilty and the only question
will be what degree of murder will stick and whether he, like Willie Horton
years ago, will be the poster child of an effort to sweep open border sanctuary
cities leftists like an aging Feinstein out of office in November; leftist Matt
Damon now admits that he knew of Weinstein’s sexually predatory behavior after
denying that knowledge earlier; Harvey Weinstein’s behavior is evidently alive
and well in the country music arena as Katie Arminger has come out to allege
being a target of groping and sexual harassment by DJs; Trump plans to
declassify material on the JFK assassination
52 years ago; in a sign that even to Reds Hillary has become toxic, West
Virginia Senator Joe Mancini has informed Hillary that she should stay away
from his campaign; finally in a what’s good for the goose is good for the
gander Mueller’s ever expanding witch hunt has added Tony Podesta, brother of
Clinton’s chief campaign adviser, John Podesta (the real Russian collusion that
the MSM will not reveal is the quid pro quo criminal activity arising out of
the Uranium One deal and the almost 145 million dollars to the Foundation and
the $500,000 speaking fee to Bill and the complicity of Loretta Lynch in
blocking a FBI informant with evidence of quid pro quo and Russian targeting of
the Clinton campaign with threats of criminal prosecution); almost a stuck
record or a gruesome remake of Groundhog Day, Chicago style,
the carnage in Chicago continued unabated with total shootings in 2017
through October 22 increasing to 3087 and the death toll increased to 535 and
still nothing is being done to hinder or prevent the killings of minorities by
minorities.
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Phil
Collins, factoids of interest for this day in history, hoping you are not
labile, and a relevant quote from Wilma
Rudolph on adversity, 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. World Polio Day—observed first on this
day in 2013 to promote the eradication of polio thanks to the generosity of the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
2. World Development Information
Day—created by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to promote
understanding of issues and problems in development and to strengthen
international cooperation to address those issues and problems.
3. 1988
Number One Song—the number one song in 1988 on a run of 3 weeks in that position
was “Groovy Kind of Love” by Phil Collins. Here is a
recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsC_SARyPzk
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “labile” which means the easy to
change or unstable which most of Trump critics describes him to a tee.
5. The
Woman In Red—celebrating the birth on this day in 1903 of Melvin Purvis, an
FBI agent best known for leading the team that shot and killed John Dillinger
after he came out of a theater with a woman dressed in red and also shot and
killed the notorious Pretty Boy Floyd. He retired from the FBI in 1935 to
practice law and died in 1960 from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound.
On this day
in:
a. 1975 90% of all female
workers in Iceland went on strike to protest gender pay inequality.
b. 1977 Veteran’s Day
was observed for the seventh and last time on the fourth Monday in October and
the holiday was moved the following year to November 11.
c. 1992 the Toronto Blue
Jays became the first team located outside the United States to win a World Series.
d. 2003 Concorde, the supersonic passenger jet,
made its last flight.
e. 2015 Adacia Chambers
drove her car into a crowd of spectators watching the Oklahoma State Homecoming
Parade, killing 4 and injuring 46. Her blood alcohol was .01 so she was charged
with four counts of murder and 46 counts of assault likely cause death and pursuant
to a plea bargain she will serve 55 years pending parole. Another example of
why one should not drink and drive.
Reflections on the ability
of human beings to overcome adversity by a true champion:“I had a series of
childhood illnesses; scarlet fever, pneumonia, polio. I walked with braces
until I was at least nine years old. My life wasn’t like the average person who
grew up and decided to enter the world of sports.” Wilma Rudolph known as the
Black Gazelle who became the first woman to win three gold medals in an Olympic
Games at Rome A smoker she lost the race against throat cancer and brain cancer
and died too early in 1994 at the age
of 64. Please enjoy the poems
