Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For October 29, 2017 The denizens inside the Swamp
beltway are besides themselves over who has been indicted by Mueller’s grand
jury if the Cack News Network report is accurate; needless to say the
revelations that the Clinton Campaign
and the DNC paid millions to fund the anti Trump dossier produced by Fusion GPS
has raised a storm of outrage except among die hard HJC supporters; Mueller was
heading up the FBI when it was first investigating Russian bribery yet did little
(the FBI informant who will soon testify before Congress should drop some real
bombshells involving HJC’s quid pro quo with the Uranium One deal and her
campaign’s and the DNC’ involvement with the Trump Russian Collusion Delusion; like
the servers she had totally wiped clean, she and her minions and the DNC and
its minions seem to have no recall of their involvement of the millions paid to
Fusion GPS and are spending all their time dodging the Russian collusion
delusion that is drawing a bead on all of them); we know that the MSM is
completely biased against Trump but at least the tiny flame of integrity still
burns as strong anti Trump bashers like the News
York Times are expressing outrage over the lies to them on the funding of
the dossier (time to subpoena before Congress Podesta and Wasserman Schultz to
expose their prior perjury on the issue of funding the dossier, impanel a grand
jury and indict them and determine how many Trump supporters and campaign advisers
were unmasked using the erroneous dossier to obtain warrants to intercept their
communications—a real threat to our democracy); however pathetic the refusal to
stand during our National Anthem is Bob McNair hopefully has learned that over
the top rhetoric like “We can’t have the inmates run the prison” needs to be
sacked even as ratings continue to slide; for Harvey Weinstein the number of accusers
grows each passing day and we now know that the male reptilian brain is alive
and well in the newsrooms as O’Reilly has settled with his numerous accusers
for $32 M and Mark Halperin is apologizing publicly for his dalliances as Showtime as a result of the allegations
has dropped him from The Circus;
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 28 increasing to 3133 and the death toll
increased to 543 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 relevant quote from Tom
Frieden on physical activity, a music link to Karyn White, factoids of interest
for this day in history, while being disgusted over the lacertilian activities
of the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, but 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 Stroke Day—created by the World
Stroke Organization in 2006 to create awareness of the dangers of strokes and
the what people must do to reduce their risk of having one, like the estimated
15 million that suffer one each year, only 4 million of whom survived without
death or permanent disability (good place to start would be to not smoke and if
you do stop).
2. World Psoriasis Day—created
by the IFPA in 2004 to promote awareness of the skin disease and research for
better medications to control its spread and to also reduce the stigma for
those who suffer from it.
3. 1991
Number One Song—the number one song in 1991 on a run of 1 week in that position
was “Romantic” by Karyn White. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu-ty0dC9k4
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “lacertilian” which means of or
pertaining to lizards which in so far as it relates to sexual activity
describes the unwanted advances of the Harvey Weinsteins that infest Hollywood
these days.
5. You
Need More Than Loving You Need a Little Help from Your Robed Friends—celebrating
the birth on this day in 1933 of Richard Loving, a construction worker and race
car driver, who fell in love with a Mildred Jeter who was of African American
and Native American descent, married her and was told that the marriage
violated Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act, and was informed the couple would have
to leave the state. Litigation was brought by the ACLU to invalidate the law which
SCOTUS so ruled in the case of Loving v. Virginia in 1967. Sadly the now
legally married couple did not get the chance to live a long married life as a
DUI driver hit their car on June 29, 1975 killing Richard and causing his wife
to lose one eye.
On this day
in:
a. 1960 in Louisville,
Kentucky Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, won his first professional
fight.
b. 1969 the first
computer to computer link occurred on ARPANET, the precursor to the internet
and the internet age was about to begin.
c. 1994 Francisco Martin
Duran fired 29 shots at the White House in an attempt to assassinate President
Clinton, was tackled by three citizens, arrested by the Secret Service, tried
and convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 40 years in prison where he
sits today with a projected release of date of 2029.
d. 2004 Al Jazeera broadcasted
a video of Osama bin Laden where he accepted responsibility for the attacks on
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001.
e. 2015 China ended its
one child policy to the endearment of parents, especially parents whose first
child was a girl.
Reflections on strokes: “Physical
activity--even if you don't lose an ounce, you'll live longer, feel healthier
and be less likely to get cancer, heart disease, stroke and arthritis. It's the
closest thing we have to a wonder drug.” Tom Frieden, former head of the CDC
and now the head of Resolve, a nonprofit targeting stroke and heart attack
prevention and the preparation for combating pandemics. Please
