Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For December 4, 2018 President H.W.
Bush’s funeral will be held at the Washington National Cathedral today after
which the casket will be flown to Texas to be put on Bush 4141 Train to be delivered
to the Bush Presidential Library for internment; while the MSM is making a fool
of itself bashing Trump in comparison to the presidency of George H.W. Bush;
the Bush family has reportedly gone to great lengths to insure that the funeral
will not turn into a platform of anti-Trump swipes; leftist writer for Slate Ruth Graham is being slammed for
her column denigrating Bush’s service dog (so typical of the left-no one not spouse,
children or even dog of a Red office holder is out of bounds from criticism);
the new darling of the left Ocasio-Cortez is making a fool out herself again claiming
accounting errors of $21 trillion in Pentagon spending from 1998 to 2015 could
be used to fund her Medicare for all a claim so ridiculous that even left wing publications
like Vox and The New York Times called her out noting that the accounting errors
do not equate to actual spending; Clinton pal and registered sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein has settled the sexual abuse civil lawsuit brought by numerous
women on the eve of trial (too bad that we will not hear victims’ testimony of
the abuses on his “Orgy Island” and whether Bill Clinton who flew there 26
times on Epstein’s private jet the “Lolita Express” participated; The View is a show with no joy only bias
led by Jay Behar as she and Meghan McCann got into a snit fit over her bashing
Trump when the segment was to be devoted to reflections on George H.W. Bush; the
NRCC reported that it suffered a hacking intrusion which it believes to be by a
foreign agent; Emanuel’s announcement that he will not seek reelection has not
curbed the gun violence as through December 2, 2018, 2776 people mostly of
color have been shot by mostly people of color, of whom 470 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 the Beach
Boys, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you do
not subscribe to a view of nullims and a relevant quote from Dennis Wilson on
living a fast life, 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. National Cookie Day—created by the Blue
Chip Cookie Company in 1987 to promote the sale of cookies which is still going
strong today but a better way to celebrate would be to go to Kelli’s Cookies
for Goodness Sakes at https://forgoodnessbakes.org/ and order some of its mouth watering cookies.
2. World Wildlife Conservation Day—created by the World Wildlife
Federation to promote awareness of the illegal slaughter of wildlife for body
parts and the need for governments to be more vigilant in stopping poachers.
3. 1966 Number One Song— the number one song in 1966 on a run of 1 week in that
position was “Good Vibrations” by the Beach Boys. Here is a recording of
the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eab_beh07HU
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we moved from words beginning with
“m” to words beginning with “n” is “nullism” which means a view that
reality does not exist which describes the viewpoint of those in the Swamp
bubble so far removed from the rest of the mere mortals living in the rest of
the country.
5. Wipe-out--celebrating the
birth on this day in 1944 Dennis Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys and the only
surfer in the band but who battled drug addiction and alcoholism and drowned in
the Marina del Rey harbor after a day of drinking after diving into the harbor
to try to recover some personal property.
On this day in:
a. 1965 the Grateful Dead performed its first concert under its
new name.
b. 1991 after 64 years of operations around the world, Pan
American Airlines ceased operations.
c. 1992 President George H.W. Bush ordered 28,000 U.S. troops to
Somalia.
d. 2017 the Lamborghini Urus gained the title of the world’s
fastest SUV with a speed of 190 mph.
e. 2017 the Thomas Fire started in Santa Paula to burn over 440
square miles in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties before it was finally contained on January 12,
2018. Reflections
on the Bhopal disaster from a survivor whose family members did not survive: "They say I live a fast life. Maybe I like
a fast life. I wouln’t give it up for anything in the world. It won’t last
forever But the memories will.” Dennis Wilson
