Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 28 Last chance in 2017
to see the Stanford Heisman winner, Bryce Love and his “Sweet Feet” light up
the defense this evening in the Alamo Bowl; thanks to the Trump election and
the tax cut which the MSM and Blues have totally erroneously cast as a tax cut
for the rich and not the middle class the markets may close at 25,000 before
year end; whereas in the U.S. too many like Rep Lee are too quick to the racist
card toss our English cousins have it right as Prince Harry will be marrying a
divorcee who has a black mother and white father and unfortunately an estranged
half sister who may be trying to pedal a tell all book about her half sister
Meghan; both parties have doubled down on the 2018 midterms with the MSM and “pundits”,
consistent with their erroneous predictions of a HRC sweep, are predicting loss
of House and possibly Senate while the Blues are MIA in terms of trying to work
with Trump and hoping that the tax cuts fail to stimulate the economy (proof is
in the pudding and the first MSM and Blue lie will be in February when millions
of Americans receive paychecks with the decreased withholding putting more
money in their pocket, the second lie will be that increased GNP growth will
very early on cause the pundit predicted static model deficit not to grow but
to start shrink like a puddle on the pavement in Death Valley on a warm July
day, the third will be an infrastructure plan that will be shovel ready unlike
Obama’s pathetic attempt that wasted close to a trillion dollars that the Blues
will oppose and the fourth will be the Blues’ attempt to shut down the
government because they will not negotiate on border security, the ending of
immigration lotteries and chain migration in favor of merit based immigration,
ending of funding to cities that continue their sanctuary status and building
the wall in order to pass DACA legislation creating a path to citizenship); if
the Reds stay on focused message against the party of no ideas and scorched
earth, the Blues will take a great step toward the need to start wearing wigs; Ray
Moore has become the new Marvin K. Moody
replacing HRC after suing to stop the certification of his opponent by the
Alabama Secretary of State (time for this pervert to disappear!); 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
December 25 increasing to 3540, 622 of whom have died which gruesome as it may
be represents a very slight year to date decrease which in the waning days of
December is definitely helped by the arctic weather affecting Chicago.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music
link to the Tornados, factoids of interest for this day in history, the
fact that your property is not lentic; a relevant quote by Denzel Washington on
not be trapped by one side views, 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. Pledge of Allegiance Day—observed since 1945 on the anniversary of Congressional
legislation on this day in 1942 recognizing the words to the Pledge of
Allegiance written by a Francis Bellamy, a Southern Baptist minister in 1892
(he would be rolling in his grave at the antics of Kaepernick and some of his
fellow NFL players).
2. Holy Innocents Day—commemorated by Christians to honor the souls of those children
killed by King Herod in his failed attempt to find and kill Jesus Christ.
3. 1962 Number One Song— the number one song in 1962 on a run of 3 weeks in that
position was “Telstar” by the Tornados. Here is a recording of the song:

4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “lentic“ which means associated with
standing water which is something during mosquito season you do not want to see
in warm climes.
5. Don’t Pull The Plug Before In The Can—celebrating the
birth on this day in 1954 of Denzel Washington noted Academy Award winning
actor who has starred in such films as Malcom
X which was almost never completed since Spike Lee was hopelessly over
budget, Glory, Training Day, and Remember the Titans.
On this day
in:
a. 1832 with three months left in his term as vice president,
John C. Calhoun became the first vice president to resign to be appointed a
Senator for South Carolina to better represent the state in the Nullification
Debate being waged in the Senate over slavery.
b. 1867 the United States claimed the Midway Atoll, the first
territory outside the continental United States and the site 75 years later of
the battle that turned the tide against the Japanese in World War II.
c. 1895 Wilhelm Rontgen discovered a new form of radiation which
would later come to be designated X-rays.
d. 1973 to the bane of developers but the joy of threatened
species, the Endangered Species Act was approved.
e. 2017 in another example of why radical Islam is a clear and
present danger to innocent Muslims 41 Shiite Muslims were killed in suicide bombings
in Afghanistan.
Reflections
on the polarization of our society by the birthday celebrant which the partisan
denizens of the Swamp should pay heed to: “I'm not a liberal or a conservative
completely. Who is? Or why do you have to be? You assess the pros, the cons, of
both sides and you make an intelligent decision.” Denzel Washington.
