Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For March 26, 2019 when it comes to
the economy Representative AOC is a total naïve buffoon as her New Green Deal
would bring this country to ruin as McConnell is forcing a vote today in the
Senate that will force the Blue presidential wanna-bes to take a stand; John
Brennan is the first anti-Trumpers to eat crow on the issue of collusion with
the Russia, admitting he may have made a mistake (his pompous calls of Trump
being guilty of treason revealed the extent of his bias animus on his plate);
Jessica Tarlov whose positions on which I often disagree has come out to demand
Schiff and Swalwell put up or shut up on their claims of having evidence of
collusion they have solemnly touted but sounds of silence to back up their
claims; James Clapper whose credibility on collusion and surveillance belongs
in the crapper lamely tried to defend his commentary on Trump on CNN but
failed; Adam Dershowitz certainly not a rabid member of the right and probably
one of the most respected legal scholars in the country alleged he was banned
from CNN because he did not toe the anti-Trump line on the Mueller probe; on
the keep America safe front two interceptor missiles from the Marshall Islands
intercepted a dummy ICBM over the Pacific Ocean; disgraced porn lawyer Michael
Avenatti came out swinging claiming the Los Angeles lawyers he allegedly
embezzled are politically linked to Trump (if he is found guilty this soon to
be disbarred lawyer should have the book thrown at him including prison time);
the Pentagon has informed Congress that it has transferred $1 billion to fund
construction of 57 miles of barriers on the Southern border; another
conservative judge has cleared the Judiciary Committee and should move to
confirmation on the leftist 9th Circuit with 51 more judges in the
pipeline; Venezuela continues to wallow in chaos and the incompetency of Maduro
as it has been hit with another massive power outage;cve as of March 24, 2019
382 people have been shot in Chicago of whom 65 have died.
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Tommy
Roe, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that some of
your garb contains paillettes; a relevant quote from Terry Truemann on seizures,
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. Purple
Day (U.S. and Canada)—inspired 9 year old epilepsy victim Cassidy Megan in Nova Scotia
and first celebrated on March 26, 2008 to create awareness of the disease of
epilepsy and fund research for treatment and cures; if you see someone wearing
purple they are most likely supporting the observance.
2. Legal Assistants
Day—celebrating like the adage behind every successful man there is
a good woman, behind every successful lawyer there is often a very competent
paralegal at a fraction of that lawyer’s billing rate.
3. 1969 Number One
Song—the number one song on this day in 1969 on a run of 4 weeks in
that position was “Dizzy” by Tommy Roe. Here is a recording of the
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arpidGq8SlA
4. Word of the Day—today’s
word of the day as we move from words beginning with “o” to words beginning
with “p” is “paillette” which means a spangle or sequin which are great
decorating touches for one’s garb.
5. The Perfect
Birthday Gift Compromise—celebrating or bemoaning the birth on this day in 1940 Nancy
Pelosi of “you have to pass it to know what’s in it” infamy and the rabid foe
of a needed wall on the southern border as being immoral, ineffective and
expensive and back with a vengeance to slam Trump; best birthday gift for this
partisan hack would be the gift of compromise to legislate as opposed to
investigate.
On
this day
in:
a. 1967 thousands of
people gathered in NYC’s Central Park for one of many be-ins.
b. 1982 a ground
breaking ceremony was held for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington,
D.C.
c. 1991 Argentina,
Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay formed Mercosud, a common market for members and
associate members in South America which included Venezuela until it was
suspended in 2016.
d. 1997 police discovered
39 bodies from a mass suicide near San Diego who were formerly members of
Heaven’s Gate, a UFO religious group that believed in extraterrestrials that
were traveling in UFO’s.
e. 2015 Saudi Arabia
began its military intervention in Yemen which has led to death of Yemenis,
many of whom have been civilians.
Reflections on epilepsy:” A big seizure just kind of grabs the inside of your skull and
squeezes. It feels as if it's twisting and turning your brain all up and down
and inside out. Have you ever heard a washing machine suddenly flip into that
bang-bang-bang sound when it gets out of balance, or a chain saw when the chain
breaks and gets caught up in the gears, or an animal like a cat, screeching in
pain? Those are what seizures felt like when I was little.” ― Terry
Trueman, Stuck in Neutral
