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.
1. Dress in Blue Day—created in 2009 to honor not Democrats but rather to promote
awareness of colorectal cancer and the need for testing and more fiber in one’s
diet.
2. Read Across America Day--celebrating since 1997 the birthday of Doctor Seuss and his
contributions to encourage young minds to begin to read, a habit that hopefully
lasts throughout their lives.
3. 2006 Number One Song— the number one song in 2006 on a run of 5 weeks in that
position “Check on It” by Beyonce feat. Slim Thug. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1dUDzBdnmI
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “logia’ which means sayings of
Christ which more of our politicians should be paying attention to instead of
all the vile rhetoric that clouds the halls of Congress.
5. Like Father Like Daughter—celebrating the birth on this day in
1981 of Bryce Dallas Howard, noted actress who is the daughter of noted
director and actor Ron Howard.
On
this day

Reflections on why Starbucks is a great company to own: “Coffee is
