Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For July 23, 2017 The hysteria of the Russian collusion delusion among the
left and the MSM continues unabated as all indications point to Trump signing
the Russian sanctions bill (news flash to the Waters, Pelosi, and Schumers of
the world the threat to our democracy rests with the Blue idiots of the Swamp
who will not accept the simple fact that Trump won and a felon lost); if you
want another reason to build the wall look no further to the case of Jesus
Lopez an illegal from Mexico who was arrested for arson of an apartment
building in Charlotte, North Carolina that has left 130 people now homeless; in
another example of how justice is not blind but completely deranged, a man in
Texas is facing potential jail time for back child support even though DNA
testing shows the child was not fathered by him; in another example of the
scumbag nature of human traffickers and why sanctuary cities should be outlawed, a semi was parked in a San Antonio
Wal-Mart parking lot with 38 illegals crammed inside, 9 of whom died; hell hath
no fury than a women scorned and tropical storm Hillary will be upgraded to
hurricane status; through July 22, 2110 people have
been shot in Chicago 369 of whom have died (sadly the ATF agents Trump has sent
has not put a damper on the carnage).
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Steven Winwood;
factoids of interest for this day in history, a relevant quote on the interaction
between parents and children, hoping you do not have to put up with a day of
speeches by people who are insulse, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like 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.
World Sjögren’s
Day—commemorating the birth of Doctor Henrik Sjögren, a Swedish ophthalmologist who discovered in 1933 Sjögren’s
Disease, an autoimmune disease that causes white blood cells to turn on the moisture
producing glands causing dry mouth, fatigue, dry eye and joint pain and affects
some 4,000,000 Americans.
2. Parents’
Day—created by President Bill Clinton in 1994 to honor the
contributions of parents, birth, step and adoptive to the raising and education
of their children.
3. 1988 Number One Song—the number one song in
1988 on a run of 4 weeks in that position was “Roll With It” by Steve Winwood. Here is his performance of the
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWptXUblA4E
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “insulse” which means lacking wit,
dull, or stupid which describes too many of our politicians and bureaucrats to
a tee.
5. One
of the First Victims of the War on Women—ironic that on the day
tropical storm Hillary is upgraded to a hurricane, today is the day we celebrate
the birthday in 1973 of Monica Lewinsky whose two year affair almost brought
down President Bill Clinton (the thought of that predator roaming the halls of
the White House to this day sends shivers down this poet’s back).
On this day in:
a. 1829 William Burt
patented the typographer the precursor to the typewriter.
b. 1885 former president
Ulysses S. Grant a heavy cigar smoker died of throat cancer.
c. 1962 from a
communications standpoint the world became a very small place when Telstar transmitted the first live
trans-Atlantic television broadcast featuring Walter Cronkite.
d. 1972 NASA launched
into orbit the first Earth Resources Satellite Landsat I.
e. 1982 actor Vic Morrow
and two children were killed when a helicopter crashed onto them while they
were filming a scene in Twilight Zone:
the Movie.
Reflections on the on parents: “A parent
who never apologizes to his children is a monster. If he is always
apologizing, his children are monsters.” Anon Please enjoy
