Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 14, 2018 while the Blues
and the MSM continue to attack Americans who want a secure border as being
racist, interesting news out of Tijuana that city leaders want the caravan to
leave their city due to crime, filth and burdening of city services (when is
the last time you heard a rational argument that illiterate unskilled migrants
is good for the country accepting them?); actress and director Sondra Locke who
starred in 6 films with Clint Eastwood has died at 74 (Clint is still going
strong with his role in The Mule); a
seven year old girl who had not eaten or consumed water for several days died
in Border Patrol custody after being held in a temporary facility with her
father prompting a huge outcry from the Blue presidential wanna-bes (tragic but
points out why we need a wall to deter people from making a trip that is often
fatal and why the left needs to stop encouraging illegal immigration seducing
illegals with a false notion that if they get here they can stay here); Melania
Trump bashed the MSM for its attacks on her young son Barron, saying “children
should be off limits”; the FBI is back to its rogue partisan status as it
missed a deadline to provide documents concerning a raid on a whistleblower’s
house who had provided documents to the IG detailing potential criminal
activity concerning the Uranium One Deal and the Clintons and Clinton
Foundation; Joy Behar who is joyless made the outrageous claim devoid of
reality that retiring Senator Orin Hatch should go to jail for not speaking out
against Trump and Cohen for the payment to Stormy Daniels (what an outrage by a
biased partisan hack); in another example of why the death penalty is not a
deterrent Angelo Jimenez convicted of a brutal murder in 1994 was finally
executed by Florida yesterday; on the partisan judicial front the California
Chief Justice announced that she had left the Republican Party due to its confirmation
of Judge Kavanaugh; Virgin Galactic made a historic flight to the edge of space
as it moves toward recreational sub orbital space travel at $250,000 a pop
(pretty expensive for 5 minutes of being weightless); Emanuel’s announcement
that he will not seek reelection has not curbed the gun violence as through
December 12, 2018, 2842 people mostly of color have been shot by mostly people
of color, of whom 479 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 KC and
the Sunshine Band, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact
that you can obelize the MSM on its coverage of Trump and a relevant quote from
Chris Murphy on the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, 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

4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning with “n”

spurious, doubtful or corrupt which describes what we should be doing in
critiquing MSM coverage of Trump and his agenda.
5. Partisan Hack in Sheep’s Clothing—bemoaning the
birthday on this day of disgraced and sanctimonious FBI Director James Comey who
violated the law by leaking sensitive information and lied to Congress which led

Reflections
on the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary:
“Instead, I will remember the two simple words whispered to me by one
Sandy Hook mom earlier this year. As I readied to leave my office one evening,
the front desk rang me to say that one of the Sandy Hook parents had dropped by
unannounced. Of course, send her in, I said. She walked into my office, and without
saying a word, draped her arms around me in a giant, warm bear hug.
‘Keep going,’ she
said quietly to me. She wiped a few tears back, took a few steps backwards, and
continued, ‘That’s all I wanted to say.’ Then she left, unable to muster the
energy to say anything more.” Chris Murphy, U.S. Senator from Connecticut
