Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 25, 2019 The
transcripts which are summaries of the conversations with the President of the
Ukraine have been released and as claimed by Trump show no pressure and no
mention of withholding of military aid and have been released ahead of
information which the White House is claiming will show a political bias of the
whistleblower in favor of one of the Blue candidates for president (in the
anti-Trump frenzy among the Blues it would not have mattered what Trump said to
the Ukrainian President nor would it have deterred a rush to judgment misguided
impeachment start and the end of this president and future presidents to
converse with world leaders on issues confronting their countries to the detriment
of this nation); mark this poet’s predictions—can’t impeach without crime;
Blues will lose covered with slime; impeachment without reason or rhyme; should
not have rushed to judgment this time; Trump is scheduled to meet with the Ukrainian
President at the UN today in a prescheduled meeting and will hold a press
conference that will probably be inundated with questions on Ukraine and
impeachment; the second parent in the college admissions schedule to be
sentenced has received 4 months in exchange for the $250,000 he paid USC for an
admission slot for his kid; although no polls have yet been taken of the
American people on the issue of impeachment, as of this moment polls indicate
only 37% of Americans favor it which spell total disaster for the Blues in 2020
which means the Blues have totally forgotten the lessons of the Clinton failed
impeachment in 1998 to their detriment; technology has invaded prison security
as a video shows a drone delivering a phone and drugs to an inmate in a prison
yard in Ohio; polls now show the crowded Blue Presidential Primary race down to
two candidates, Biden and Warren, with Sanders now a distant third and the rest
probably hoping for a VP slot; Facebook is reportedly giving NYC a second
chance at the apple it blew in conjunction with Amazon by considering to
purchase a NYC landmark for its corporate expansion (wonder if AOC will oppose
the move?); Maxine Waters who has 0 credibility when it comes to the Russian
collusion delusion in a trying to remain relevant moment has declared that her
committee will soon release damning evidence that will have bearing on the
impeachment inquiry (believe that and you probably believe in the tooth fairy
even though you are an adult); on the climate front, scientists are warning
that due to melting a large portion of the Mont Blanc Glacier may collapse);
while talk of impeachment is sucking up all the oxygen in the Swamp, the House
is holding hearings on gun control and banning assault rifles which covers many
if not most semi-automatics and if passed would turn some 150 million law
abiding citizens into felons;; in Chicago through September 23, 2019, 2088 have
been shot of whom 358 have died; and in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s
population, 251 have been murdered in Baltimore (when will Chicago and
Baltimore 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 people of
color by people of color and when will the left focus on the problem of color
on color shootings in Blue run cities which have been more deadly and more
numerous than random mass shootings?
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link
to Bing Crosby and the Ken Darby Singers, the fact that you support porphyrous members
of Congress, and a relevant quote on sacrifices of Market Garden, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like Father’s Day, 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.

1. International
Ataxia Awareness Day—observed since 2000 to promote awareness of this rare, degenerative
neurological disease that affects an estimated 150,000 Americans and to promote
research in trying to find a cure or improvement of treatment.
2. Binge Day—celebrating fortunately not a day to go on
binge drinking sprees but rather to watch days or weekends of old serials or
themed movies or movies featuring a given actor or actress.
3. 1943 Number One Song— the number one
song in 1943 on this day on a run of 7 weeks in the position was “Sunday,
Monday or Always” by Bing Crosby and the Ken Darby Singers. Here is a recording
of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_coPjwIpOec
.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “porphyrous”
which means purple which is the color you get when you mix red and blue which
in this highly divided country on red and blue aisles we definitely need more
of to overcome our gridlock.
5. The Landlord Is A Vamp--celebrating the birth on
this day in 1951 of Heater Lockyear TV star of “Dynasty” and “Melrose Place”
where she played the conniving man-hungry character, Amanda Woodward; Heather
seems to have fallen on hard times personally and substance wise.
On this day in:
a. 1926
under the auspices of the League of Nations, the Convention to Suppress the
Slave Trade and Slavery was signed.
b. 1944
one third of the British 1st Airborne that had not died or been
captured managed to evacuate under cover of darkness over the Rhine from
Osterbeek signaling the end of Operation of Market Garden, the failed Allied
attempt to cross the Rhine and end the war.
c. 1963 Lord Denning released his
report on the scandal involving 19 year old model and topless showgirl Christne
Keeler with the British Secretary of War John Profumo who had resigned over the
scandal which damaged the Conservative Party.
d. 1974 Doctor Frank Jobe
successfully performed the first ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery
on Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tommy John who after a long period of
recuperation went on to win 164 more games and be elected into Baseball’s Hall
of Fame.
e. 2018 in his second trial after a
mistrial, Bill Cosby was found guilty and sentenced on this day to 3 to 10
years for sexual misconduct and is serving his time in a state prison with his
earliest release date being September 25, 2021.
Reflections on Operation Market Garden: ”If
in the years to come, any man says to you, ‘I fought at Arnhem,’ take off your
hat to him and buy him a drink for this is the stuff of which England’s
greatness is made.” Alan Wood Daily
Express September 24, 1944.
