Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October 7, 2017 Just when you thought the hatred and idiocy on the left
couldn’t get any worse, a leftist masquerading as a professor at UNLV, Tessa
Winkelmann, tops the cake by claiming that Trump is to blame for the mass
shooting at the Mandalay because he threatened North Korea (I feel sorry for
the students and their parents creating debt to have to be exposed to this pathetic
idiot who has no business passing herself off as a professor as opposed to a
left wing ideologue); Brown has reverted to his earlier status as Governor
Moonbeam by signing the misguided sanctuary state legislation rammed through by
the Blues (ICE has rightfully indicated that they will continue to arrest
illegal aliens found in this state); amidst mounting criticism, Lisa Bloom has
resigned as Harvey Weinstein’s adviser but from the leftist Hollywood elite
only the sounds of silence; in yet another all too familiar story another
illegal alien without a driver’s license crashed head first into a car killing
a father and his two infant children and was slapped on the wrist with a
sentence of two years (ironic that the father was a legal immigrant killed by a
scumbag who should not have been here in the first place); in another not again
moment Hurricane Nate has amped up to a Cat 2 and is barreling toward the Gulf
Coast; in Chicago through October 6, 2017, the number of people being
shot climbed to 2939 and the death toll rising to 506 while the city seems to
not be doing anything to prevent the killing and maiming
of its minority residents—a real definition of racism which is deadly.
As always, I
hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Walter
Murphy, factoids of interest for this day in history, a relevant quote by the
birthday girl Joy Behar on comedy and politics, hoping you have some knitches
for cold fall nights and
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. International
Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day—promoting awareness of
and the need for research for treatments of a really painful disease that
affects the trigeminal nerve that connects the face to the brain.

lighting.
3. 1976
Number One Song—the number one song in 1976 on a run

4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “knitch” which means a bundle of wood
tied together which is a good thing to have if you have a fireplace on a cold
fall night.
5. View
Without A Clue—celebrating or bemoaning depending on your point of view the
birth of Joy Behar on this day in 1942 of anti-Trumpster “comedienne” Joy Behar
whose leftist anti-Trump rants have become stale and unfunny.
On this day in:
a. 1916 in a real rub it
in your face game, Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland University 222-0 the most
lopsided victory in the history of college football.
b. 1919 KLM the oldest
airline still operating under its original name was founded. c. 1949 the showcase for a failed economic philosophy East Germany came into existence.
d. 1996 Fox News Channel began broadcasting and with its “Fair
and Balanced” mantra has become the number one cable news network trouncing the
bias of CNN and MSNBC.
e. 2001 air and covert ground operations commenced against
terrorists in Afghanistan and sadly are still going on today making the war
there the longest in our nation’s history.
Reflections on comedy
and politics from the birthday girl: “You know, I'm a comedian the same as Bill
Maher and Jon Stewart. We all came up the same way. The three of us have
interest in politics; I call us fundits, we're fundits! We're not pundits!” Joy
Behar Sadly every time she opens her mouth to pontificate on something she is
totally clueless about on the View she is ignoring her own quote and is far
removed from being a “fundit.” Please enjoy the poems on events
of interest on my twitter account below (if you like them, retweet and follow
