March 2, 2018 Ridley's Believe It Or Not Dress in Blue Day



Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For March 2, 2018 On the war on police front, 17 cops have been killed in the line of duty; thank God for Nancy Pelosi for her role as a Red lightening rod and back in the news slamming Trump for not criticizing Putin for his speech on new missiles but slamming his fire and fury speech against that obese lunatic last year (keep it up Nancy each rant is worth 100,000 more Red votes); too bad Don Lemon’s first name is not Edsel to match the fact that he is the journalistic equivalent of an automotive lemon as he made a fool of himself and once again lost all credibility by falsely claiming that Fox News failed to report on Hope Hicks’ announced departure as White House Communications Director; Trump’s announcement of tariffs of 25% and 10% on imported steel and aluminum rattled the market today and provoked a strong negative reaction from China and many of our allies; Indonesia the home of the most Muslims continues its drift toward Sharia law by publicly caning Christians for  violating it by gambling, extramarital sex or public displays of affection; in Chicago through March 1, 2018 361 people have been shot of whom 68 have died (Chicago is averaging two Parklands per month in terms of number of dead and the left and Blue leaders are silent while mostly minority shooters with handguns kill mostly minorities—a true definition of racism).
        As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Beyonce feat. Slim Thug; factoids of interest for this day in history, reading a few logia today and a relevant quote by Chris Kilham on the benefits of coffee, 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.
