Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For January 16, 2018 You will be in
the dark on this from the MSM in their attempt to destroy the Trump presidency,
but the market just opened at over 26,000 points in a historic never before
reached high but which tumbled below 26,000 when a ranking Blue House member indicated
no clean DACA, no government funding to keep the doors open (MSM and Blue credibility
with 90 percent negative coverage is next to squat and when workers open their paychecks
in February the increased pay due to the tax cut will be the death knell of the
Crumbs Queen Nancy Pelosi’s band of obstructionists that cast not one vote for
the Trump’s tax cut); a chilling reminder that police work is full of danger as
police in three states in the line of duty were shot with one in Texas being
killed and one in South Carolina in critical condidtion ; Morning Joe with his leftist
panel foaming like rabid dogs at the mouth over Trump’s s*hole comment which is
probably the same comment most if not all of the immigrants from El Salvador,
Haiti and many African nations would also make (making them in the eyes of
Morning Joe bigots and racists); Bannon and Lewandowski (who has been subpoenaed
by the chief witch hunter to testify) will be testifying before the House Intel
Committee but transparency takes a hit as the testimony will be behind closed
doors; that noted sexual pervert Kevin Spacey has now been accused of being a
racist by the head of security hired by Netflix to protect him and his fellow
actors (unfortunately the allegations were kept secret until the security firm
did not have its contract renewed); if I were a DACA I would be outraged over
the antics of Graham and Durbin in presenting to Trump a compromise that did
not fund the wall and increased chain migration which Trump after being crystal
clear what he would not accept—no funding for the wall, end to chain migration
and the end to lottery migration; with the Russian collusion delusion fading into
obscurity and the obstruction of justice probe looking more and more like it
should be focused on HRC, the DNC, FBI and DOJ, the leftist MSM is off to the
races on a spurious claim that Trump is unfit for office and showing signs of
dementia as the White House Physician was grilled again and by them trying to
force him to state he found which he did not signs of dementia show Trump unfit
for office; on the DUI front Dennis Rodman was arrested by Newport Beach Police
and charged with a DUI (wonder if his ”friend for life” will try to intercede on his behalf); Aaron Rodgers,
Danica Patrick’s new squeeze, has come out in favor of kneeling Colin Kaepernick
being put on a NFL roster (wonder if she is influencing his opinion); source for numbers of people shot and killed
in Chicago in 2018 temporarily on hold but should be able to start releasing
statistics shortly.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music
link to Al
Wilson, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact you can turn the channel with MSM advocacy “journalists” like Don Acosta become rudely lanphanic during press conferences, and a relevant quote by Bob Inglis on the essence of freedom of religion, 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 Religious Freedom Day—created by Congress in 1992 to
commemorate the passage on this day in 1786 in the Virginia Legislature of the
Religious Freedom Statute authored by Thomas Jefferson which became the basis
for the First Amendment to our Constitution.
2. National Without a Scalpel Day—created by the Innovation Initiative
in 2015 to promote the use of Minimally Invasive Imaged-Guided Procedures such
as arthroscopic surgery which dramatically reduce recovery time required.
3. 1974 Number One Song— the number one song in 1974 on a run of 1 week in that
position was “Show and Tell” by Al Wilson. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItgAlRuafaU
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “lexiphanic” which is someone who is
bombastic or who uses long words which are perhaps the hallmarks of political
speakers like Obama.
5. Don’t Rock the Boat--celebrating the birth on this day in 1979 of Aayilah Houghton, musical
prodigy whose career was tragically cut short in 2001 when the chartered plane she
was in flying back to Florida from the Bahamas crashed some 200 yards after
takeoff, killing her and all other passengers.
On this day
in:
a. 1883 the Swamp was created in with the passage of the Pendleton
Civil Service Reform Act and the creation of the United States Civil Service,
that bureaucracy that became quickly entrenched and so difficult to remove
incompetent members.
b. 1919 the 18th amendment to the Constitution was ratified
by two thirds of the states requiring that they implement Prohibition one year
henceforth.
c. 1920 the League of Nations held its first session in Paris,
Francis.
d. 1979 the Shah and his family seeing the safety for his family
put at risk flee the Iraq, never to return again.
e. 2001 in a better late than never moment, President Bill
Clinton awarded Teddy Roosevelt posthumously the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Reflections on the essence of freedom of
religion:“Freedom to convert is the essence of freedom of religion” Bob Inglis,
noted former six term Red Congressman from Georgia. He is right assuming the
conversion is not by the sword which typifies conversion in too many countries
practicing Sharia. Please enjoy the poems on events of
