Ridley’s Believe It Or Not
For November 30, 2017 NBC is living up to its acronym of “Nothing But
Cack” as more women are coming forward to reveal what a complete pervert Matt
Lauer appears to be while top executives are claiming that they had no idea his
sexual harassment was going on under their watch (Lack and Zucker were either
asleep at the switch or chose to ignore and conceal his perversions); only in America
can a pervert fired for sexual harassment have the nerve to want to sue his
employer for $30 million (good luck on that one Matt); time to add another
bargaining chip to the DACA debate as that multiple deported scumbag who killed
Kate Steinle instead of being turned over to ICE for another deportation was
found not guilty—Kate’s Law while we must double down on the end to “chain migration”
based on family relationship as opposed to merit and need based criteria as the
Trump Administration released data on the 7.3 million immigrants who were given
priority because family members however distant were in the country; HuffPost
has stooped to all time low alleging that McCain now supports the tax cut bill
because he is dying of brain cancer and wants his estate to be passed tax free
to his heirs (shame on you Ashley Feinberg); 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 November 28
increasing to 3351 of whom 583 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, hoping you are
without sin if you are driven to lapidate today, a relevant quote by General
Norman Schwarzkopf on heroes, 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. Cities for Life Day—commemorating
the abolition of the death penalty in the Duchy of Tuscany on this day in 1786,
the first state to abolish the death penalty, and to encourage efforts to
abolish it throughout the world.
2. Computer Security Day—celebrated
since 1988 to urge awareness of the need to prevent hacking, ransom ware and
malware and to develop appropriate
penalties, including prison time for those hackers who continue to hack into computer
systems.
3. 1940 Number One Song—as
we start over after leaving 2017, the number one song in 1940 on a run of 9
weeks in that position was “Only Forever” by Bing Crosby. Here is a recording
of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNCt6hkCUic
4. Word of the Day—today’s
word of the day is “lapidate” which means a to pelt with stones, a gruesome
way to die that still exists under Sharia.
5. Ten Thousand Angels Not
Enough—celebrating the birth on this day 1975 of country singer Mindy
McCready best known for her album Ten
Thousand Angels, a long relationship with Roger Clemens even during his
marriage, and problems with drugs and alcohol cut short her career and led to
her taking her on life on February 13, 2013 by a self inflicted gun shot after
shooting her pet dog.
On this day
in:
a. 1803 Spanish representatives transferred the Spanish Territory
to France that then flipped the huge territory 20 days later to the United
States in what was known as the
Louisiana Purchase.
b. 1886 the Folies Bergere performed its first performance
in Paris.
c. 1982 Michael Jackson’s sixth album Thriller was released and would become the largest selling album of
all time.
d. 1995 Desert Storm ended with a crushing victory for American
led Coalition Forces.
e. 1998 Exxon and Mobil in a merger valued at $73.7 billion created
the world’s largest corporation.
Reflections on heroes in Desert Storm by the general
who was in command of Coalition forces: “It doesn't take a hero to order men
into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.”
