Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For September 3, 2017 China
is not our friend and when it comes to controlling the rogue lunatic Kim has
completely ignored sanctions leading to the question of when China joins the
world to eliminate this fat lunatic to postpone nuclear annihilation by us of
North Korea’s nuclear and missile program (ball is in their court and the time
for them to stand arm and arm with the civilized world is now); news out of N.
Korea is that that rogue nation may have tested a hydrogen bomb which if it can
be placed on an ICBM is a clear and present danger to the U.S. warranting preemptive
nuclear strikes on artillery locations, the nuclear and ICBM testing and
production facilities and wherever we have intel to believe this obese lunatic
is located; on the education front in Houston the news is not good as many of
Houston schools have been damaged and many not open for months which is
probably why Betsy DeVos was with President Trump yesterday; on the sports
front and a testimony to the human spirit that can overcome adversity, Jake
Olson, a blind long snapper for USC delivered a perfect snap in SC’s point
after touchdown against Western Michigan; China the world leader in
protectionism and theft of intellectual property is opening its BRICS summit
under the shadow of North Korea’s potential thermonuclear test to denounce
protectionism (when will learn that this nation is not our friend, is a long
term foe and will do squat to rein in North Korea); on the sports front too
many of the Cleveland Browns in misguided support for a has been Colin Kaepernick
took a knee in a preseason game (any team that condones such disrespect should
merit a complete fan boycott); in yet another example of biting the hand that
feeds you a Congolese boat refugee rescued while trying to get to Italy was
arrested for a brutal gang rape at an Italian resort of a Polish tourist; through
September 2, 2017 in Chicago the number of people being shot climbed to 2564, and
the death toll again on the rise to 439.
As always, I
hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Johnny
Mercer, factoids of interest for this day in history, a relevant rant by the
birthday boy Charlie Sheen, hoping your day is free from jobations, 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. US Bowling League Day—celebrating
a great indoor sport that started out on lawns with nine pins with the rules
that prevail today established in 1895.
2. Skyscraper Day—celebrating
that form of building that each year seems to reach higher and higher and higher
into the sky while making firefighters’ jobs much more problematic.
3. 1945
Number One Song— the number one song in 1945 on a run of 7 weeks in
that position was “On The Atchison, Topeka And Santa Fe” by Johnny Mercer. Here is a performance
of the song for you trainophiles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmBKHSZ1pcU
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “jobation” which means a tedious scolding
which is what Mainstreet America is forced to endure from the MSM and the Swamp
denizens berating our values and morals.
5. Play
With Fire And Get Burned—celebrating or bemoaning the birth as the case may be of Charlie
Sheen on this day in 1965; he is a classic example of a celebrity totally out
of control with drug and alcohol abuse, spousal abuse and unprotected sex abuse
and now has to deal with being infected by the HIV virus. Somehow he has managed to stay in favor with
Hollywood and is appearing in a movie 9/11
to be released on 9/8 (this poet detesting Sheen’s behavior and his skepticism
of the Islamist motivation that day will pass on it).
On this
day in:
a. 301
San Marino, the world’s oldest republic, was founded by Saint Marinus giving
credence to the idea that smaller is better.
b. 1783
the Revolutionary War came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Paris by
Great Britain and the United States.
c. 1838
future abolitionist and one of the great orators of the 19th Century
Frederick Douglas escaped from slavery in Maryland.
d. 1914
French composer Alberic Mongard was shot to death while defending his estate
against invading German troops.
e. 2001 in a sad day for
Christianity and the tolerance Christ preached, in Belfast Protestant loyalist
picketed Holy Cross a primary school for Catholic girls hurling bricks, rocks,
fireworks and obscenities at students attending for 11 weeks prompting hundreds
of riot police backed by British soldiers to protect the terrified girls.
Rants from someone totally out of control but hopefully is no longer
drinking alcohol and tiger blood: “I've got mad energy for days. That's what
people can't get their minds around. They say, 'Oh, he's going to crash.' They
try to apply all these common terms to a guy who is not common. I don't fit
into their little box.” Charlie Sheen Please enjoy the poems on events
