Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For January 26, 2018 President Trump
in his “America Is Open For Business” speech at Davos hit the proverbial ball
out of the park and the stock market continued its climb to new heights but the
good news was drowned out by the MSM’s focus on whether Trump wanted to fire Mueller
last June but was talked out of it which he denies as
“fake” news; text messages from the partisan love birds Strzok and Page just released show the fix was in terms of Hillary not being investigated and would never face criminal prosecution as Strzok and Page were more concerned that she would win and if the FBI actually investigated her criminal conduct that she would come down on the FBI like a ton of bricks; leaks from the 4 page damning memo name Comey, Rosenstein and McCabe, the troika of anti-Trump bias at the FBI as the culprits in the illegal surveilling of Trump supporters (this memo needs to be released and released now); the economy only grew at 2.6 % in the fourth quarter to put a slight damper on the Trump story (hopefully that number will be adjusted upward and hopefully in the next quarter with new withholding tables taking effect in February along with bonuses paid by 230 and growing companies due to tax cuts, growth will be far in excess of 3%); Trump has released his DACA plan and both the far right and the far left are going over the top in condemning it which may mean it might have a chance of passing, something that Obama did not try when he had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the House trembling in fear of not clicking their heels and bowing to Pelosi’s every whim; the reptilian brain has just claimed another casualty but this time is taking Wynn’s Resorts down with him as numerous women are claiming Steve Wynn had sexually molested them, prompting a fall of Wynn International’s stock by over $20 a share (10% drop); through January 23, 2018 166 people have been shot of whom 28 have died.

As always, I hope you enjoy today’s
holidays and observances, a music link to Hall and Oates, factoids of interest for this day in
history, avoiding an unpleasant lientery by not watching Pelosi or Schumer rant
on Trump’s immigration plan, and a relevant quote by Wayne Gretsky on missing
shots, 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. International Customs Day—created by the World Customs Organization in 1983 to promote the
role of customs officials in border security and to promote awareness of their
contribution to the economic welfare of a nation.
2. National Big Wig Day—created by Patty Sharkey in 2016 and celebrated on the last Friday
in January to raise money for cancer research and to show solidarity with
cancer victims especially those undergoing chemotherapy lose their hair and resort
to wearing wigs especially if they are women.
3. 1982 Number One Song— the number one song in 1982 on a run of 1 week in that
position was “I Can’t Go For That” by Hall and Oates. Here is a recording of the
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccenFp_3kq8
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “lientery” which has nothing to do
with liens is the discharge of partially digested foods that a bird would do
for its chicks and what I would like to do whenever I hear Nancy Pelosi or
Schumer going over the top against Trump.
5. The Great One--celebrating the birth on this day in 1961 of perhaps the greatest
hockey player to lace up a pair of skates and step onto the ice—Wayne Gretzky
who held or shared 61 NHL records,
including most career goals (894), most career assists (1,963) and most career
points (2,857).
On this day in:
a. 1905 the largest diamond ever discovered weighing in at
3,106.75 carats, the Cullinan was taken from the Premier Mine near Pretoria,
South Africa and cut into 109 diamonds of various cuts.
b. 1920 former Ford executive Henry Leland founded the Lincoln
Motor Car Company which he later sold to Ford.
c. 1961 President Kennedy named Janet Travell as the first female
Physician to the President.
d. 1992 Soviet Union President Boris Yelsin announced American cities
were no longer being targeted by Soviet
nuclear armed ICBMs, a statement that should not surprise us given his quote I posted
on January 25, 2018 on Ridley's Believe It Or Not-This Day In History.
e. 1998 President Bill Clinton addressed the nation on
television and looking the public directly in the eye lied through his teeth by
denying he had ever had sexual relations with “that woman Monica Lesinsky.” (since
when did oral sex not constitute sexual relations?)
Reflections on how to
win in hockey by the Great One: “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never
take.” Wayne Gretzky
