Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October
16, 2018 After Trump slammed Warren for her DNA report showing miniscule traces
in the order of 1/1024 of Indian DNA (not American but Peruvian), the Cherokee
Nation chimed in slamming her that DNA is not determinative of who is a member
of the tribe (if anyone believes Harvard’s assertion that Warren’s claimed
ethnic status did not influence its hiring of her is a complete fool—dishonest to
the core is Warren consistent with the left’s mantra of ends justifies the
means); in Arizona, Martha McSally in a debate with pseudo moderate Krysten
Sinema slammed her for committing treason by supporting the desires of people
to leave this country to go fight for the Taliban (Sinema may be best known for
her 100 pairs of shoes but McSally is better known for her 100 combat missions—John
McCain as a fellow pilot must be rolling in his grave over Sinema’s leanings);
Ellison’s early lead in his race for Minnesota’s Attorney General race has
rightfully evaporated due to sexual assault charges by his former girlfriend (another
Blue hypocrite so quick to condemn improprieties of Reds but thinking they are
immune from criticism of their own despicable behavior); in another example of
the left gone totally crazy over the Kavanaugh confirmation, Maine police are
investigating a suspicious letter mailed to Susan Collins that was alleged to
have contain ricin, a highly toxic poison; Stormy Daniels defamation suit
against Trump has been thrown out and she has been ordered to pay his legal
fees (finally we may be spared of porn lawyer Avenatti appearing on MSNBC and CNN whose combined ratings were less that Fox
News); Emanuel’s announcement that he will not seek reelection has not curbed
the gun violence as through October 15, 2018, 2431 people mostly of color have
been shot by mostly people of color, of whom 402 have died (when will Chicago
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 mostly people of
color by mostly people of color).
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Jay Sean
feat. Lil Wayne, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact
that unlike many politicians you are not neomort on issues of importance and a
relevant quote from Khaled Hosseini on surgery without anesthesia, secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events like 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. You need only contact me for
details.
1. World Anesthesia Day—celebrating the first use of ether in surgery on this day in
1846.
2. World Food Day—celebrating the creation of the UN’s Food and Agricultural
Organization to promote increased food production around the globe.
3. 2009 Number One Song— the number one song in 2009 on a run of 2 weeks in that
position was “Down” by Jay Sean feat. Lil Wayne. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUbpGmR1-QM
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning with
“m” to words beginning with “n” is “neomort” which means one who is brain
dead which probably describes to a tee the IQ on economic affairs of socialists
like Ocasio-Cortez.
5. In A Company Of Three—celebrating the birth on this day in 1946 of noted TV actress
Suzzane Somers of Three’s Company fame
and now an author and promoter of nutrition products and life styles.
On
this day in:
a. 1909 President Taft and President Diaz of Mexico held the
first summit between the two countries and narrowly escaped an assassination
attempt by an assailant that was standing a few feet from Taft with a concealed
palm pistol but disarmed before he could fire.
b. 1975 Rahina Banu, a two year old girl from Kuralia, Bangladesh,
had the dubious distinction of being the last person infected with naturally
occurring smallpox.
c. 1978 Karol Wojtyla was elected Pope John Paul II after the 1978
Papal Conclave, the first non-Italian Pope since 1523.
d. 1991 George Hannard entered Luby’s Cafeteria in Kileen, Texas and shot and
killed 23 and wounded 20 before killing himself after a brief shootout with
police.
e. 1995 the Million Man
March which attracted 400,000 took place in Washington, D.C.
Reflections on anesthesia: “A doctor in a hospital
told me that when the mujaheddin were fighting in the early Nineties, he often
performed amputations and Caesarean sections without anesthesia because there
were no supplies. Khaled Hosseini, an Afghan-American doctor and author of The Kite Runner. Cannot imagine how
painful it would be to have a limb amputated while still conscious.
