Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 4, 2017 Fred Horton, the black inmate released by Massachusetts Governor
Michael Dukakis on a daily work release program whose act doomed the election
chances of Dukakis may be replaced in terms of impact on elections by Kate
Steinle, killed on the streets of San Francisco by a multi-felon,
multi-deportee who was on the streets instead of waiting in jail to be once
again deported due to the sanctuary city policies of San Francisco as Indiana
Representative Todd Rokita will introduce legislation in the House supposedly
today that impose fines and jail time on state and local officials that refuse
to follow immigration law (although it most likely pass in the House unless
Democrats abandon their support of illegal aliens over the safety and rights of
citizens it is doomed for failure unless McConnell exercises the nuclear
option); all of these leftist Blues who are ranting for impeachment due to the
Russian collusion delusion and obstruction of justice ought to listen esteemed
law professor Alan Dershowitz who has stated very forcibly that there is no
case for obstruction of justice (except maybe in the biased eyes, hopelessly clogged with political
cataracts, of an aging Diane Feinstein who wants to run once again for Senate to
enter her term at 85 years of age so she can die at her desk while “fighting” for
increasingly leftist causes); Trump has crossed the Rubicon with respect to
Moore and voiced his support to not dilute the razor thin majority the Reds
possess (if Moore does win I hope that the Senate Ethics Committee receives enough
evidence to exonerate him or the Reds will be effectively targeted as the party
of molesters and lose whatever moral high ground gained as the result of fairly
instances of sexual abuse by Franken and Conyers; we have ample proof that the
obese lunatic Kim has no concern over the welfare of his people being starved
to support his nuclear program and have received another example of his
complete disregard over the welfare of the world as a Cathy Pacific Airliner
witnessed the reentry of his latest missile test (you would think given all the
air and marine traffic in the vicinity of the his test missiles’ trajectory
that he would provide advance notice like a normal human being); the left
reacting to Flynn’s guilty is getting our their dancing shoes to dance on the
grave of the Trump Presidency but such move to the closet may be premature and
Flynn may have the perception that Trump being the loyal person he is may well
pardon Flynn when the sentencing part of the plea bargain is about to enacted,
given his over 30 years of service to the country; 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 1
increasing to 3378 of whom 587 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 Ella Fitzgerald and the Ink
Spots, factoids of interest for this day in history, being pleased that
you are not facing a larruping, a relevant quote by Marissa Tomai on marriage, 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. National Cookie Day—created to celebrate cookies not the kinds that end up on your
computer but the one’s you eat and none are better that the ones made by
Kelli’s Cookies, a nonprofit that
mentors, hires, and trains low income persons for a more meaningful role in
society. https://forgoodnessbakes.org/
2. National Kitten Day—created by animal activist Colleen Paige to promote adoption of
kittens as opposed to going to pet stores given the large number of unwanted
kittens that never see maturity because they are euthanized in shelters if not
adopted.
3. 1944 Number One Song— the number one song in 1944 on a run of 2 weeks in that
position was “I’m Making Believe” by Ella Fitzgerald and the Ink Spots. Here is
a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK15L55CtGc
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “larrup” which means to lash or flog
someone which is not a pleasant way to end one’s day.
5. Hand Me a Socket Wrench--celebrating the birth on this day in 1964 of Marisa Tomei three
time Oscar nominee best known for her role in My Cousin Vinny as an auto mechanic whiz girlfriend of Joe Pesci
which resulted in an Academy Award.
On this day
in:
a. 1791 the first edition of The
Observer, the world’s first Sunday newspaper was published.
b. 1881 the first edition of the Los Angeles Times was published.
c. 1945 having seen the impotency caused to the League of
Nations by the failure of the United States to participate, the U.S. Senate in
a truly bipartisan moment voted to enter the UN by a vote of 65-7.
d. 1965 the Deadheads performed their first concert under their
new name which all children of the 60’s know them well, the Grateful Dead.
e. 1969 the Chicago Police Department raided an apartment where
Fred Hampton chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, his nine
month pregnant girlfriend and several other Black Panthers were staying and
murdered a sleeping Hampton who had been unknowingly drugged by a police
informant was murdered by officers of the CPD and Mark Clark who was on
security with a shotgun was killed instantly with a shot to the chest which
prompted a reflexive pull of the trigger, responded to by 90 shots which wounded most of the unarmed Panthers in
the apartment. To no one’s surprise at the time in view of race relations, the
coroner found “justifiable” homicide (Hampton must have been dreaming that he
was pointing a gun) and the only recourse of the victims was a $1.85 million settlement
in a wrongful death suit—sad day for the Chicago Police Department and some
insight of the passion of the BLM. Reflections on the institution of marriage by the birthday
girl who has never been in : “"I'm
not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don't know why women
need to have children to be seen as complete human beings." Marisa Tomei
She probably feels that way because in real life as opposed to scripted life, the
institution of marriage is far too often ravaged and mauled by the reality of
divorce then left for dead to be picked over by the divorce lawyer vultures. Please
