Ridley’s Believe It Or Not
For December 5, 2017 The good news is
that John Conyers, Jr. has resigned from the House over allegations of sexual
harassment and the use of the slush fund to settle his case but the bad news is
that Trump and the RNC have endorsed Moore even though the number of minors alleging sexual
misconduct has increased which means whether Moore wins or loses and whether
the Senate Ethics Committee ousts him or not if he wins, the Reds will be
portrayed as the party of sexual perverts in 2018; Mueller’s witch hunt which
is spreading like a cancer is looking more and more like a well thought out
trap by Clinton supporters in the FBI to absolve HRC and to entrap Trump and
his supporters as the agent fired in a moment like locking the stable after all
the horses have fled has been revealed to be a rabid HRC and was the one who
changed Comey’s finding of gross negligent to extremely careless, thereby
exonerating her of any criminal conduct: the FBI tried 24/7 to conceal the
tarmac meeting of Lynch and Bill, and conducted what had to have been soft
T-ball interviews of Abedin and Mills who both lied like rugs on the issue of
her private server but double standards being what they are have not been
charged ala Flynn while spending over $ $5 million in the witch hunt (Mueller
should resign and Sessions should reinsert himself in the investigation and the
real collusion of HRC, the DNC, and the FBI should be investigated along with
the use of the false anti-Trump dossier to obtain unmasking and intercepts of
Trump supporters); Pelosi continues to meltdown over the Republican tax cut with
outrageous hyperbole not befitting a minority leader and the doting Diane
Feinstein at age 84 delusionally believing she is up to another 6 more years is
revealing that her partisan political cataracts have really worsened to almost
near blindness by claiming she sees an obstruction of justice case against
Trump while someone who knows what he is talking about and is no supporter of
Trump, Alan Dershowitz, states in no uncertain terms there is no obstruction
(Trump should pardon all of whom Mueller has obtained indictments and seriously
consider firing Mueller and his deputy Attorney General along with all Obama
appointees); Trump was serious when he campaigned on the need to vet refugees as
the number of refugees have dropped by 83% while deportations are increasing exponentially
including deportations of MS-13 members and other criminal elements; Trump
announced that our Embassy in Israel would be moved to Jerusalem; the Blues are
threatening to shut down the government if they do not get amnesty for DACA
members putting the “rights” of illegal aliens over the needs of Americans and
this nation while refusing to negotiate on securing the border with a wall, ending
chain migration, ending the immigration lottery, and passing Kate’s Law
(Feinstein and Harris really have blood on their hands on Steinle’s murder
along with the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco); 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 3
increasing to 3382 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 Bing Crosby, factoids of
interest for this day in history, if canoeing or kayaking on a river being
aware of the placement of any lashers, a relevant quote by Paula Patton on fame, 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. Repeal Day—celebrating the ratification
of the 21st Amendment which repealed Prohibition effective on this
day in 1933.
2. World Soil Day—created by the UN General Assembly on December 20, 2013 and
observed since December 5, 2015 to promote awareness of the importance of soil in
food security, agriculture, climate change and economic development (any doubts
on the need to end practices that destroy soil will be erased if one looks at
the havoc created by the Dust Bowls of the 30’s in the Great Plains of the
United States).
3. 1945 Number One Song— the number one song in 1945 on a run of 1 week in that
position was “It’s Been A Long, Long Time “ by Bing Crosby. Here is a recording
of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZZiRbP_K8
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “lasher” which means not someone who
whips but rather a weir, a horizontal barrier across a stream or river that
raises the water level.
5. USC Is Known For More Than Just Football--celebrating the birth on this day in 1975 of magna cum
laude graduate of the USC Film School Paula Patton, noted actress who starred
as Ms. Rain in the Academy Award winning film, Precious.
On this day
in:
a. 1952 a cold fog descended on London which when combining with
air pollution in the coming months killed some 12,000 residents of the city.
b. 1955 E.D. Nixon and Rosa Parks began the Montgomery, Alabama
bus boycott, a pivotal point in the Civil Rights Movement attack on Jim Crow
Laws in the South.
c. 1964 Captain Roger Donlon of the United States Army and a
member of its Special Forces was awarded the first Congressional Medal of Honor
in the Vietnam War and the first one to be awarded to a member of the Special
Forces for his bravery in repelling a two battalion attack against his out-manned outpost at Nam Long near the border with Laos.
d. 2004 the 1965 the Civil Partnership Act came into effect in
the U.K. and the first domestic partnership was registered on that day.
e. 2014 in something out of a Bruce Willis film moment, Orion I,
designed to carry a crew of four to land on asteroids, was test flown albeit unmanned;
it is still in development.
Reflections on the fame of being an actress from the
birthday girl: “If you are an actress and even one person knows your name, you’re
lucky girl.” Please
