Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 8, 2017 7 major fires are raging unchecked from San Diego to Ventura
County destroying hundreds of structures, killing dozens of horses and forcing
thousands out of their homes; another Congressman bites the dust as Red
Representative Franks announced his resignation effective immediately over a
complaint by a former aide that he proposed paying her $5 million to be a
surrogate mother; rumors are swirling around Congress that some 40 members may
have sexual harassment skeletons in their closets; Trump is holding a rally in
Florida just 9 miles from Alabama in what the left are touting as a rally for Judge
Moore as one of his accusers admitted she altered the writing in her year book;
the new sheriff in town, the DOJ, is investigating Planned Parenthood for
illegal sales of fetal body parts; the stench of bias and lack of objectivity
of Mueller’s witch hunt continues to swirl as two more on his witch hunt team
have been exposed attending HRC’s election night party and representing the IT
staffer who sent up the infamous email server (Mueller and his entire staff
need to be replaced); the Cack News Network in addition to being hopelessly
biased is also incompetent as it falsely reported that the Trump campaign had
an early viewing of Wikileak DNC emails when the transmission date on the
emails show they were sent after release to the public; anyone stupid enough to
watch Morning Joe were treated with
another Mika Brzezinski rant attacking Leeann Tweeden, the radio host who was
the first victim to come out publicly against pervert Al Franken and who is a
Trump supporter; 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 7 increasing to 3408, 589 of whom have died.
As always, I hope you enjoy
today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Dinah Shore, factoids of
interest for this day in history, latitudinarian beliefs, a relevant quote
by Ann Coulter on liberal doublespeak, 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 Salespersons Day—commemorating on the second Friday
in December the contributions of salespersons to the economy even as their numbers
decline due to the growth of online shopping that has reduced the need for
salespersons.
2. Day of Finnish Music (Finland)—celebrating the birth of Jean
Sibelius on this day in 1865; he is widely recognized as Finland’s greatest
composer.
3. 1948 Number One Song— the number one song in 1948 on a run of 10 weeks in that
position was “Button and Bows“ by Dinah Shore. Here is a recording of the
song:
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “latitudinarian” which means one
having tolerant views and showing no preference among religions or forms of
worship, something obviously lacking in countries following Sharia.
5. Political Don Rickles—celebrating
or if a member of the left bemoaning the
birth on this day in 1961 of Ann Coulter, noted conservative firebrand
commentator and author, who ironically got her start as a commentator as a
legal consultant to MSNBC News but very quickly moved to more conservative
forums.
On this day
in:
a. 1962 workers at four New York City newspapers went on strike;
the strike expanded to nine and lasted 114 days.
b. 1980 former Beatle John Lennon was shot and killed outside The
Dakota in New York City.
c. 1987 the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was executed.
d. 1991 Russia, Ukraine and Belarus executed an agreement
dissolving the Soviet Union.
e. 2010 with the second launch of SpaceX Falcon 9 and the second
launch of Space X Dragon, SpaceX became the first private company to launch,
orbit and recover a spacecraft.
Reflections on liberals: ” What liberals mean by
'goose-stepping' or 'ethnic cleansing' is generally something along the lines
of 'eliminating taxpayer funding for the National Endowment for the Arts.' But
they can't say that, or people would realize they're crazy.” Ann Coulter You
may dislike her but you have to admire someone who speaks her mind and does not
mince words. Please
