Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For February 24, 2018 The Cack “News”
Network is at it again but this time really crossing the line and invading the
privacy of 76 year old Trump supporter who organized a pro Trump as one of the
unknowing Americans cited by the FBI when it announced the indictment of 13
Russians—Drew Griffin the Cack reporter ambushed her in front of her house with
its address visible and guess what she denied any Russians were at the rally only
Trump supporters she knew and as a result of that Cack dispenser she is
receiving death threats; in an internet based adage of live by the sword die by
the sword, Snapchat which relies on celebrity endorsements saw its market cap
drop $1.3 billion when Kyle Jenner tweeted that she was saddened that no one
opened Snapchat anymore; news out of the Parkland Thin Blue Line response is
getting worse as two more deputies are being accused of doing the same thing,
not heading to the sound of gunfire http://alaskanpoet.blogspot.com/2018/02/in-parkland-no-running-to-sound-of-guns.html;
Security Council has approved a ceasefire in Syria to give some relief to the
suffering civilians there; the Blue Adam Schiff counter memo on FISA warrants
has been released and was immediately attacked by the White House (when will
the FISA judge hold a hearing to determined whether the FBI should be held in
contempt for failing to disclose that the anti-Trump dossier without which no
warrant would have been sought had been paid for by HRC’s Campaign and the DNC
utilizing Russian supplied misinformation?); in Chicago through February 22,
2018 325 people have been shot of whom 63 have died and in February through the
same date 116 people have been shot of whom 27 have died (do not be surprised
if at the end of February Chicago is averaging two Parklands per month in terms
of number of dead and the left and Blue leaders are silent).
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Ja Rule
feat. Ashanti, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that
none of your enemies are lochetic and a relevant quote by President Ronald
Reagan on interment of Japanese-Americans, 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. World Bartender Day—celebrating a profession that has been around for a very long time
and today is probably 80 percent mixology and 20 percent psychology.
2. National Trading Card Day—clueless where this one came from but a good guess might be Topp
or Upperdeck.
3. 2002 Number One Song— the number one song in 2002 on a run of 2 weeks in that
position “Always On Time” by Ja Rule feat. Ashanti. Here is a
recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tcDXJfAFVw
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “lochetic” which means waiting in
ambush which is exactly what Schumer and Pelosi are trying to do 24/7 to the
Trump agenda.
5. A New David Copperfield--celebrating the birth on this day in 1964 of robert McLiam
Wilson noted Irish novelist whose first novel Ripley Bogley, a novel about a vagrant living on the streets of
London achieved critical acclaim.
On
this day
in:
a. 1983 a special commission of the Congress condemned the
forced internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII which ultimately led to the
Civil Liberties Act of 1988 providing $20,000 to each of the 60,000 Japanese-American
internees still alive.
b. 1984 Tyronne Mitchell who had lost both parents, four
brothers and a sister at Jonestown started
shooting at elementary school children in the 49th Street Elementary
School in L.A. from his house across the street with an AR-15 and shotgun
killing two and wounding twelve before turning the shotgun on himself and
committing suicide.
c. 1989 a cargo door on United Airlines Flight 811 from Honolulu
to New Zealand blew out shortly after takeoff
and blew out 9 passengers from Business Class into the Unfriendly Skies to
their deaths.
d. 1991 the ground operations of Desert Storm commenced as
Coalition Forces crossed the Saudi Arabia border into Iraq in operations that
in 100 hours would lead to the surrender of Iraqi forces.
e. 2008 Fidel Castro retired as the President of Cuba after 32
years of dictatorship.
Reflections on admitting a wrong: “The legislation that I am about
to sign provides for a restitution payment to each of the 60,000 surviving
Japanese-Americans of the 120,000 who were relocated or detained. Yet no
payment can make up for those lost years. So, what is most important in this
bill has less to do with property than with honor. For here we admit a wrong;
here we reaffirm our commitment as a nation to equal justice under the law.” President
Ronald Reagan on signing the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. Please
