Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October 6, 2017 In another real war on women, an overweight pathetic slob Harvey
Weinstein who is being charged by numerous actresses of having to provide
sexual favors in order to move their career forward is reaching out to his fellow
leftist hypocrites for support (the only
persons he should be reaching out to are dieticians to help him shed weight
from his obese body that should turn off any sane woman); in another example of
leftist rhetoric that needs to be eliminated and a real example of the war on
women, Stephen Krieg a Blue candidate in New York for the House is blasting the
Red female incumbent for being a “child”(at least this sexist is true to his
last name which means war in German); Edith Macias that foul mouthed UC
Riverside student may be facing felony charges for ripping off a Make America
Great hat off a student’s head and verbally assaulting him (not sure prison is
the right place to put this foul mouthed obese loser but certainly anger
management and diversity respect classes might be a requirement); Beau Bergdahl
is expected to plead guilty to desertion and may face life imprisonment; the
Trump administration has scaled back the requirement that ACA insurance provide
for free contraceptives (never understood why insurance companies had to eat
the cost of a person’s chosen sexual activity); President Trump is rattling the
cage of this nation’s foes like North Korea in talking about the “quiet before
the storm”; in Chicago the month of September ended with 57 dead (which when
some of the critically wounded might die will be barely less than the 58 fatalities
resulting from 9-11 minutes of shooting by Stephen Paddock in Vegas and through
October 5, 2017, the number of people being shot climbed to 2928 and the death
toll rising to 503 while the city seems to not be doing anything to prevent the
killing and maiming of its minority residents—a
real definition of racism which is deadly.

1. German
American Day—celebrating the contribution to our culture of German Americans
and commemorating the founding of Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1683 by 13 German
families.
.2.
Manufacturing Day—celebrated
on the first Friday in October since 2012 and one of President Trump’s favorite
observances especially if the manufacturing is occurring in America as he is
striving to bring high paying manufacturing jobs back to America.
3. 1975
Number One Song—the number one song in 1975 on a run
of 3 weeks in that position was “Bad
Blood” by Neil Sedaka. Here is a performance of the song:

4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “knackish” which means a cunning or
crafty which most politicians think they are but in reality are not especially
in the cases of politicians like HRC who believe they are above the law.
5. Trains
May Take Longer But They Usually Arrive—celebrating the birth on
this day in 1908 of Janet Peters better known to her fans as Carole Lombard who
was one of the highest paid actresses in the 30’s and was the wife of Clark
Gable but instead of taking the train back from a war bond rally in which she
raised $2 million in one night took a plane back to Los Angeles instead and crashed
on January 16, 1942 shortly after being refueled in Las Vegas, killing all
aboard (ironic in her last movie released after her death one of her lines
which was deleted in post production was “What can happen on a plane?”)
On this day in:
a. 1927 the Jazz Singer, the first prominent “talkie”
premiered starring Al Jolson.
b. 1967 the first class
of physician assistants graduated from Duke University, marking the beginning a
new medical profession with graduates having a lot less student debt that
physicians.
c. 1979 Pope John Paul
II became the first Pope to visit the White House.
d. 1981 Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassinated by
radical Islamists most likely due to his peace treaty with Israel.
e. 2007 Jason Lewis after 4833 days (often had to stop and raise
money to finance the trip) became the first person to circumnavigate the globe
by human power traveling some 45,505 miles and surviving being hit by a drunk
driver in the U.S. and being arrested for spying in Sudan.
Reflections
on a woman’s role in a male dominated society and profession: “I live by a
man's code, designed to fit a man's world, yet at the same time I never forget
that a woman's first job is to choose the right shade of lipstick.” Carole Lombard Please
