Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For March
17, 2019 It’s March Madness time with Virginia, Gonzaga, Duke and North
Carolina picking up the first 4 seeds for the men; New Zealand is still reeling
from the 2 mosque shootings that killed now 50 people while Blues are doing
their best to blame Trump for the violence from one very sick man (how deranged
can you be to live stream for 16 minutes his killing the victims; the House
voted 420-0 in support of a nonbinding resolution to call for Mueller to
release his report to the public with 4 Reds voting present; Loretta Lynch is
in hot water and the true obstructionist of justice with the DOJ’s stand down
order to the FBI on HRC per Lisa Paige’s sworn testimony in closed session;
Savannah which hold the largest St. Patrick Day’s Parade in the South has one
gigantic mess on its hands with garbage and litter in its parks and streets;
the family of the mosques shooting suspect said he returned from Europe and its
large number of unassimilated Muslims a changed man (may have to take that
observation with a grain of salt as it could be a ploy to shift blame but the
reality is that Muslim refugees are not dropping their barbaric customs female
genital mutilation or honor killings and their feudal views of women and trying
to assimilate); Lori Lauring must be bemoaning the fact she did not heed the
old adage “Caveat Emptor” when her
daughter Olivia Jade revealed she didn’t plan to attend classes and was going
to school only for the parties and tailgates; Colorado is considering
abolishing the death penalty but one Blue state senator will vote against
abolishment as her son and his fiancé were murdered just days before testifying
in a murder trial (Gavin Newsom has problem in California of ignoring the will
of the people who voted against repeal and imposing a moratorium on
executions);; as of March 15, 2019 340 people have been shot in Chicago of whom
58 have died.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s
holidays and observances, a music link to Percy Faith and His Orchestra,
factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact reality of its
failed philosophy will overhaile AOC’s failed ideas of socialism; a relevant
quote from Hamish du Bretton-Gordon on the poison gas and nerve gas attack on
the Kurds, 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. St. Patrick’s Day—celebrating
the Irish and all those who on this day wish to be Irish..
2. Submarine Day—on this day in 1898 Irish born John Holland demonstrated
for the U.S. Navy his diesel/electric powered submarine the Holland VI.
3. 1961 Number One Song—the number one song on this day in 1961
on a run of 2 weeks in that position was “Pony Time” by Chubby Checker.. Here
is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyaxcvHSyZY Still going strong at 71 and still married to
former Miss World Catharina Lorrders since 1964.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning
with “n” to words beginning with “o” is “overrack” which means to over
stain which as weekend warriors one hopes we do not do.
5. Storms On The Horizon—celebrating or bemoaning as the case may be the birth of
Stormy Daniels on this day in 1979 who allegedly had a sexual encounter with
Donald Trump as was paid $130,000 to squelch the story which brought onto the political
scene a real despicable lawyer Michael Avenati who had delusions of running for
president while becoming the anti-Trump poster child for the MSM.
On this day
in:
a. 1780 on St. Patrick’s Day General
George Washington grants the Continental Army a holiday to show solidarity to
the Irish also fighting for their independence from England.
b. 1945 the Ludendorff Bridge
over the Rhine collapsed ten days after its capture by American troops.
c. 1960 President Eisenhower signs a
directive with the National Security Council paving the way for the disastrous
failed Bay of Pigs Invasion.
d. 1985 Richard Ramirez aka the Night
Stalker committed his first two of 13 murders in a 14 month reign of terror in
California. Tried and sentenced to death but commuted to life in prison without
possibility of parole this non remorseless, evil scumbag died in prison on June
7.
e. 1992 a referendum South Africa to
end apartheid is passed 68.7% to 31.2%.
Reflections on the nature of the day as a
spiritual and religious holiday rather than an excuse to get drunk: “Christ
beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath
me, Christ above me.” St. Patrick
