Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For March 4, 2018 On the war on
illegal
alien front, ICE in raids in the Bay Area has arrested 232 illegal aliens, 180
of whom were convicted criminals (the mayor of Oakland should be prosecuted and
thrown in jail for issuing warnings to flee the city to avoid arrest); at the
Gridiron Dinner Trump in white tails was at his self-deprecating best but
unfortunately no cameras were present; the U.S. is not the only place being hit
with foul weather as England has been hit with massive snow storms leading the
many supermarkets being emptied of staples and new provisions unable to be
moved; on the Mueller witch-hunt front, his “investigation” has expanded to
looking at whether the UAE provided funding to the Trump campaign (still not a
thread of evidence of Russian collusion while Russian collusion with the DNC
and HRC is in plain sight); Meghan Markle soon to be the wife of Prince Harry
will be baptized as an Anglican before the wedding; in Chicago through March 3,
2018 370 people have been shot of whom 70 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 Mims;
factoids of interest for this day in history, not having to listen to any
ranting logomania today and a relevant quote by Andre Jute the consequence of
frostbite, 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.

4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “logomania” which means pathological
loquacity which is a disease affecting
many politicians.
5. The King of Atlantic City—celebrating the birth on this day in
1959 of the Midget Malloy aka the Alaskanpoet the King of Atlantic City who was
a major drug dealer in a small 5’2” package who crowned himself at the Trump
Tower with a $1.5 million crown which was the final insult straw to police and the
DEA who busted his operations. After being sentenced Midget turned his life
around and is now very active in keeping the young away from drug use.
