Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For February 9, 2018 The dreamers
fixation by the Blues faded enough to enable the Congress to pass a budget and
keep the government open but Congress really gets scathing reviews for this
process and loading on debt like a drunken sailor on a spree; Trump maybe hot
to have a military parade but the Seal who killed bin Laden thinks the idea
sucks; we know the reptilian brain crosses the political aisles and we now have
received news it crosses the gender lines as California Democratic Assemblywoman
Cristina Garcia, a leader in the #Me Too movement, has been accused of grabbing
the crouch of one of her male staffers; in another example of why cities that
fail to cooperate with ICE should receive no federal funding, NYC last year
refused to honor 1,526 detainer requests last year which means 1526 criminals
were released back onto the streets instead of being deported; California is a
basket case in terms of spending but UC Berkeley has managed to find $800,000
to address the needs of its undocumented student aliens; the poster child for
failure of socialism, Venezuela, will hold elections on April 22, 2018 as it
slides further into bankruptcy and soaring inflation thanks to Maduro’s policies;
Rob Porter, secretary to President Trump, has resigned over allegations brought
by his two ex-wives that he physically abused them during their marriage; Pence
in Korea passed on an opportunity to have dinner with the a delegation from
North Korea; despite Obama’s denials to the contrary that he never talked to
Comey about the “investigation” of HRC’s server, texts between the two love
birds Page and Strzok indicate they were spending a lot of time preparing info
for release to the president; in Chicago
through February 7, 2018 244 people have been shot of whom 46 have died.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s
holidays and observances, a music link to C+C Music Factory, factoids of interest for this day in
history, the fact that you are not suffering from limophoitos and a relevant
quote by Abraham Lincoln on the Department of Agriculture, secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events like
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. Read in the Bathtub Day—clueless where this delightful combo of a relaxing bath while
reading came from but as soon as I finish with Ridley's Believe It Or Not-This
Day In History will celebrate the day.
2. International Winter Bike to Work Day—clueless where
this came from and why anyone would want to ride a bike if the roads were
covered with ice and snow or if it was snowing (have yet to see a bike equipped
with chains for traction).
3. 1991 Number One Song— the number one song in 1991 on a run of 2 weeks in that
position was “Gonna Make You Sweat
(Everybody Dance Now.)” by C+C Music Factory. Here is a recording of the song:

4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “limophoitos” which means insanity
caused by a lack of food which in this obese nation would be a rare occurrence.
5. The King of the Hill--celebrating the birth on this day in 1942 of Carole Klein better
known to her fans as Carole King who has written over 400 songs and is still
singing and writing today.
On this day in:
a. 1870 President Grant signed
a joint proclamation of Congress creating the U.S. Weather Bureau.
b. 1889 President Grover
Cleveland signed a bill elevating the Department of Agriculture to Cabinet
level status.
c. 1950 Senator McCarthy accused
the State Department of being riddled with Communists.
d. 1964 the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and were
viewed by 73 million in the U.S.
e. 1971 the Sylmar
earthquake measuring 6.5-6.7 hit Los Angeles, killing 64 people and injuring
1,000.
Reflections
on the Department of Agriculture: “"The Agricultural Department, under the
supervision of its present energetic and faithful head, is rapidly commending
itself to the great and vital interest it was created to advance. It is
precisely the people's Department, in which they feel more directly concerned
that in any other. I commend it to the continued attention and fostering care
of Congress." Abraham Lincoln in his last address to a joint session of
Congress. Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my twitter
