Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For November 28, 2018 The Red
candidate in Mississippi blew out the Blue by 10 percentage points to give the
Reds a 53 to 47 majority which will help Trump in his quest to reshape the
federal courts; Flake true to his name has seen his bill to protect Mueller blocked
from a vote and true to form voted with Blues to block the Farr confirmation to
go forward forcing Pence to vote in favor (what a joke this man is and although
Sinema replacing him will be even worse, it will be great to see him gone); more
and more Central Americans are heading toward Tijuana and the left continues to
go ballistic over the use of tear gas against rock throwing illegals that tried
to rush the border (nothing but silence when Obama authorized the same use);
the good news is that many illegal asylum scammers are giving up and heading
back to their home countries; the left is going over the top once again
criticizing Melania Trump over her selection of Christmas decorations for the
White House (this women of incredible class and taste has responded that the
decorations look great in the face of Trump derangement syndrome); 203 Blues
voted to nominate Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House but 15 votes short of
what she will need to win election in January (as bad and partisan as she is
her election will insure that the Reds will be galvanized in 2020 to retake the
House); former AG Gonzales has blasted Mueller if he has been setting perjury
traps for Trump (Mueller and his disgraced and rebuked lap dog Weissman are
under growing condemnation over the duration and politicization of his witch-hunt);
Madonna has not prevailed in her court fight to overturn by-laws of her co-op
to ban her staff and children from staying in her $7.2 million apartment when
she is not there; at the first stop of their 13 city tour, only 3300 people
were dumb enough to buy tickets to hear this pathetic couple at the 19,000 seat
Scotiabank Arena in Toronto; on the day Trump disbanded his Voter Fraud Commission
a Texas Apellate Court upheld the conviction and sentence of 8 years of permanent resident Rosa Maria Ortega for illegally
voting for ten years (another example of why we need a national ID card to
prevent this sort of nonsense); Emanuel’s announcement that he will not seek
reelection has not curbed the gun violence as through November 27, 2018, 2726
people mostly of color have been shot by mostly people of color, of whom 458
have died (when will Chicago get serious about this carnage or is this the case
of true racism as a Blue run city turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to the
slaughter of mostly people of color by mostly people of color).
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Dale
and Grace, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you
have no need to nubilate and a relevant quote from Margaret Thatcher on
socialism, secure in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any
memorable events like college graduations, 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. Red Planet Day—commemorating the launch of Mariner
4 on this day in 1964 which after 228 days passed within 6,118 miles of Mars.
2. Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting—celebrating since
1933 the lighting of a 69-100 foot Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center in
Manhattan on the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
3. 1963 Number One
Song— the
number one song in 1963 on a run of 2 weeks in that position was “I’m
Leaving It Up to You” by Dale and Grace. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5L5i7ARdAY
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we moved from words beginning with
“m” to words beginning with “n” is “nubilate” which means to obscure
which is a trait that the Deep State is particularly fond of.
5. Monkey Business--celebrating the
birth on this day in 1936 of Gary Hart a former senator and failed candidate
for president whose campaign was derailed by a photo of Donna Rice on his lap on
a dock during a yacht trip to the Pacific aboard the yacht Monkey Business.
On this day in:
a. 1942 in Boston, a fire at the Cocoanut Grove nightclub killed
492 people.
b. 1965 responding to President Johnson’s call for more flags in
South Vietnam President-elect Ferdinand Marcos announced he would send Filipino
troops to South Vietnam.
c. 1972 Claude Buffet and Roger Bontemps had the dubious
distinction of being the last criminals guillotined in France.
d. 1980 the bulk of the Iraqi Navy was destroyed by the Iranian
Navy.
e. 1990 the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, resigned a leader of
the Conservative Party and Prime Minister resulting in John Major replacing her
in both positions.
Reflections that Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie
Sanders need to pay heed to: “The problem with socialism is that eventually you
run out of other people’s money.” Margaret Thatcher Wise advice that the far
left continue to ignore.
