Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For July 17, 2019 in a sign
the residents of AOC’s District have come to the conclusion that this former
bartender’s polices stink, 4 Republicans including a Black female business woman
are running to send her back to making drinks (only question is whether with
this idiot has had enough and funds a primary challenger to down the proverbial
electoral toilet her stuff); the Squad is trying to hide behind its rant that
you can’t oppose us because we are women of color when their socialist and open
border policies cry out for Americans to oppose them tooth and nail because of their
policies not their color; scary times on the bacterial front as a Virginia
women contracted the flesh eating bacteria after only 10 minutes in the water
in Florida and had to have emergency surgery shortly thereafter; in a classic
example of a legal bait and switch a Utah boy was selling “Ice Cold Beer” from
his wagon but escaped prosecution as the beer was root beer and in small
letters the word
“root” appeared above beer (business was reported good as customers thought they were getting a good deal); Bernault Arnault, the CEO of a group that produces and sells luxury goods has surpassed Microsoft founder Bill Gates and the second most wealthy individual; while the city of Los Angeles is awash in homeless as Garcetti has beome the new Nero fiddling while L.A. figuratively burns, Orange County has reached a settlement where police can arrest immediately homeless in sensitive areas like John Wayne Area or flood control channels and in other areas enlist social workers to find shelters with the threat of arrest if the homeless decline to be placed (businesses in L.A. have given up on Garcetti and have started planting prickly shrubbery around their businesses and fences to prohibit the homeless from camping out and forcing out potential customers); the City of Philadelphia is anything but the City of Brotherly Love as its claims that if Trump has to go back to where he came from ala the Squad, he would have to go to hell (another classic example of Blues unable or unwilling to ramp down the vitriolic rhetoric); the Board of Planned Parenthood has fired its president at a time when state legislatures and the Trump Administration are ramping up attacks on the organization especially late term abortions which most Americans oppose; in Chicago through July 16, 2019, 1422 people have been shot mostly of color by mostly people of color, 251 of whom have died, a fraction of those dead from murders in Cape Town, South Africa (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 people of color by people of color?)

As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to George
McCrae, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact you are
free from and free from people who have phonomania, and a
relevant quote from Alexsandra Mir on the grounding of the Concorde, secure in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any
memorable events like Father’s Day, 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
Emojii Day—created by Jeremy Burge in 2014 to
celebrate the use of the emojii in communications.
2. Take
Your Poet to Work Day—celebrated on the third Wednesday of
July by cutting out an illustration of your favorite poet, coloring it if
required and gluing on a stick to place in your pocket along with some of your
favorite poet’s poems (hopefully in the future that illustration on a stick
will be the Alaskanpoet). Not sure who invented the observance but a great idea
as nothing improves productivity and job satisfaction more that a poem read
during a break or lunch hour at one’s desk.
3. 1974
Number One Song— the number one song in 1974 on a
run of 2 weeks in that position was “Rock Your Baby” by George McCrae.
Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdo-ZiHqbls His song “Rock Your Baby” was one of the first of the disco era and his
popularity subsided thereafter and he is still rocking albeit not on tour at 74
in Florida.
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “phonomania”
which means a pathological tendency to murder which describes the members of
MS-13 to a tee.
5. Trading
Down—celebrating or bemoaning the birthday on
this day in 1947 of Camilla Parker Bowles who married Prince Charles after
having an affair with him while he was still married to Princess Dianna and
whose marriage as a divorced women Prince William must be hoping that his
father looks to the precedence of Wallis Simpson and abdicates so he can be
king with the charming Kate Middleton at his side.
On
this day in:
a. 1955 the “Happiest Place on Earth”
Disneyland was dedicated and opened to the public by Walt Disney.
b. 1984 in a let the good times roll later moment the
national drinking age was raised from 18 to 21.
c. 1989 the U.S. flew its first flight of the B-2
Spirit Stealth Bomber.
d. 2011 the Concorde
was put back in service after the crash of Concorde 4590 on July 25, 2000 on takeoff after running over debris;
the return to service was short lived and the plane was retired from service on
October 24, 2003:
e. 2014 Malaysia Air Flight 17, a Boeing 777 is shot
down near the Ukraine Russian border with all 298 persons on board dying.
Reflections
on the end of the Concorde: “The moment right now, it's a
tragically regressive time we live in, you know. We just grounded the Concorde.
Where's the future? We've lost the future.” Alexsandra Mir, noted contemporary
artist, who should not worry as more and more private space travel is
contemplated to be in the works.
