Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 7, 2017 Fires are raging
out of control in Southern California due to gusting winds with 200,000 people
having been evacuated; Al Franken who was a joke as a Senator announced today
he will resign not today but in the “coming weeks” (the pathetic pervert must
need his Senate paycheck—he needs to leave now); the stench of corruption
around Mueller’s witch hunt gets worse each day after the revelations about
Strzok’s bias and altering Comey’s letter to exonerate the felon HRC who should
be preparing for her criminal defense as opposed to her delusional book tour of
blame as another DOJ high level attorney Bruce G. Ohr has been demoted due to his
meeting with Steele the author of the false anti-Trump dossier that has created
all the FISA warrants on Trump supporters and formed the basis for appointing
Mueller as special counsel to launch his $5 million and counting witch hunt
(Wray was being grilled by the House today but the people from the FBI and the
DOJ that should be grilled are those top officials in charge of the HRC private
email server “investigation” and the role of the false anti-Trump dossier that
created the mess we are in today); another blatant evidence of bias of Mueller’s
team surfaced when it was revealed that on of his investigators Ms. Rhee
represented Ben Fhodes in conjunction with the Benghazi attack, the Clinton Foundation
in conjunction with a racketeering lawsuit brought against it and HRC in conjunction
with a suit involving access to her server (if you believe that this woman
checked her bias a Mueller’s office door you believe in the tooth fairy); on
the Morning Joe meltdown/sexual harassment front ex Congressman Ford and
frequent guest on the program who has just been fired for sexual harassment by
Morgan Stanley has joined Mark Halperin
who was fired in October for sexual harassment; 8 term Red Congressman from
Arizona Trent Franks is expected to resign although reasons not yet known but
would not be surprised if it does entail sexual harassment; 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 6
increasing to 3404, but the pause in deaths ended and increased by one to
588.
As always, I hope you enjoy
today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Vaughn Monroe and his
orchestra, factoids of interest for this day in history, a day free from
lititant dangers, a relevant quote by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on
dealing with Adolf Hitler, 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

1. National Pearl Harbor Rembrance Day—commemorating
that day of infamy that occurred on December 7, 1941 crippling the Pacific
Fleet’s battleships and killing 2403 Americans and propelling the U.S. into
World War II.
2. International Civil Aviation Day—created by the UN General Assembly to stress the importance of
civil aviation in commerice and social interaction among citizens of different
nations.
3. 1947 Number One Song— the number one song in 1947 on a run of 10 weeks in that
position was “Ballerina“ by Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra. Here is a
recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYVNuxcDcnE
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “latitant” which means lurking or
lying in wait which is what our national debt is doing when if comes to a
looming financial disaster if we do not cut spending.
5. Too Much Leverage Can Be Deadly--celebrating the birth on this day in 1942 of Reginald
Lewis a successful Wall
Street lawyer and leverage buyout investor who purchase McCall Pattern Company for $25 million, $24 million of which was borrowed and sold it a year later for $95 million and then went on to buy the international conglomerate Beatrice Foods for $985 million; this very successful African-American did not get to enjoy the fruits of his hard work as he died too early from a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 50.

On this day
in:
a. 1963 instant replay was used for the first time in college football
at the Army-Navy Game.
b. 1965 in a better late than never moment Pope Paul VI and
Patriarch Athenagoras simultaneously reversed excommunications that had been in
place since 1054.
c. 1982 in Texas, Charles Brooks, Jr. had the dubious distinction
of being the first person to be executed by lethal injection.
d. 1987 David Burke an employee of US Air fired for stealing
from the airline, after meeting with Ray Thomson his manager and failing to get
reinstated boarded PSA Flight 1771 from Los Angeles to San Francisco which
Thomson commuted to his home in San Francisco and pulled out a 44 Magnum and
shot and killed him, then shot and killed both pilots and crashed the plane
into the ground near Paso Robles killing all 43 passenger and crew aboard,
e. 1999 the Recording Industry Association of America sued the
peer to peer file sharing company Napster, Inc. alleging copyright
infringement.
Reflections on the how to deal with tyrants like Adolf
Hitler by FDR asking Congress to declare war on Japan: “"No man can tame a
tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with
ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb. We know now
that a nation can have peace with the Nazis only at the price of total
surrender." Fortunately Hitler in a move like the invasion of the Soviet
Union he would deeply regret, Hitler declared war on us. Please enjoy the poems on
