Ridley’s Believe It Or Not
For November 29, 2017 The male reptilian brain’s need to be sated has
just claimed another pelt as Matt Lauer of NBC, due to allegations of sexual harassment
that appear to be not an isolated incident,
was fired today (Swamp denizens in D.C. that believe you are above the law and
have rarely worked in the private sector, take note of how the private sector
responds to the heinous acts of sexual harassment and turn your Ethics
Committee from the black hole of complicity to a transparent forum to protect
staffers who have been abused); Trump in a powerful photo op moment had a photo
of Ryan and McConnell meeting with him on the tax cut bill and funding the
government and two empty chairs next to him showing that the spoiled brats Pelosi
and Schumer were not there; tax cut bill has been moved out of Committee in the
Senate and is moving forward (any Blue up for reelection in 2018 who is dumb or
partisan enough to vote against it should be hiring a real estate agent to find
a good deal in his or her district because you will not be returning to the
Swamp); open border advocate Illinois Representative Gutierrez will not be seeking
reelection as speculation mounts that he will be running for president (good
luck on that Congressman as communities struggle with the influx of illegals
and fear for their safety due to MS-13); Trump spoke with the president of
China this morning on North Korea that now has an ICBM that will be able to
reach any part of the U.S.(time is running out for the obese lunatic to
dismantle and destroy his nuclear program or face complete annihilation of his
regime); sanity has returned as a federal judge told Leandra English, the
deputy director of a rogue agency, the Consumer Protection Agency Bureau
created by socialist Elizabeth Warren that is accountable to no one including
Congress, that she will not be able to prevent Trump’s appointee from taking over (thank God another
leftist ideologue who has never worked in the private sector and would not
understand the needs of business to service consumers if her life depended on
it as questions arise on who is funding Leandra English’s pathetic and
destructive lawsuit to remain in power and continue to raise havoc on financial
institutions); public radio icon Garrison Keillor was just fired by Minnesota Public
Radio for “inappropriate behavior”; almost a stuck record or a gruesome
remake of Groundhog Day, Chicago style, the carnage in
Chicago continued unabated with total shootings by mostly minorities against
mostly minorities in 2017 through November 28 increasing to 3338 of
whom 582 have died while 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 Post
Malone, factoids of interest for this day in history, hoping you have no
need for a lapactic today, a relevant quote by Neil Morrissey on leftovers, 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. Throw Out Your Leftovers Day—those leftovers from Thanksgiving have been
providing breeding grounds for all manner of bacteria and today is the day to
move them to the outdoor trash can.
2. International Day of
Solidarity with the Palestinian People—created by the UN in 1977 to
promote awareness of the need to recognize the rights of Palestinians in a very
troubled part of the world where peaceful relations between Arabs and Jews are
very difficult to come by.
3. 2017 Number One Song—the
number one song in 2017 before we head back in time and on a run of 5 weeks in
that position was “Rockstar” by Post Malone. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GFAZBKZVJY
4. Word of the Day—today’s
word of the day is “lapactic” which means a purgative or laxative which
hopefully is not needed today because you have drunk a lot of water.
5. So Typical of the Swamp—celebrating
or bemoaning the birth on this day in 1908 depending on your point of view of
the poster child of why we need term limits in Congress of Adam Clayton Powell,
the first African American Representative from the State of New York who served
in Congress for 26 years but in the end proving that power from safe districts
corrupts as he toward the end of his career was soaking taxpayers by taking
extravagant trips overseas and having his ex-wife on the payroll for years although
she lived in Puerto Rico and did no work whatsoever.
On this day
in:
a. 1952 Dwight Eisenhower fulfilled a campaign promise by
flying to South Korea after his election as president to see what could be done
to end the hostilities there.
b. 1963 President Johnson created the Warren Commission to
investigate the assassination of President Kennedy; many but not all of its
findings and documents were recently released to the public.
c. 1967 Robert McNamara one of the architects of the failed
strategies of the Vietnam War resigned as Secretary of Defense in time to not
be so employed when the North and Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive in 1968
which caught us completely by surprise.
d. 1972 Atari released Pong, the first successful video game
(compared to today’s video games it seems so simplistic and primitive).
e. 1987 two North Korean agents acting under orders from the
father of the obese lunatic that is hell bent on being destroyed by U.S.
nuclear weapons planted a bomb on Korean Air Flight 858, deplaned at the flight’s
first stop and the bomb was not discovered until it exploded en route to its
second stop, killing all passengers and crew.
Reflections on leftovers before you throw them
out today: “I love cooking and eating - I'm a total foodie. It started off as a
survival thing as a student, when cheese and potato pie was all I could afford
to make. My most successful results come from concocting something with
leftovers. Any chef will tell you that you should taste as you cook, so I might
make it a bit more spicy, yogurty or eggy.” Neil Morrissey, noted English actor
