Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For August
29, 2019 Comey must be thanking his lucky stars that the DOJ he and Obama
mangled still has residue of two classes of justice, one for us wee mortals and
the other for elite like him and HRC as despite a scathing report to add to his
disgrace, the IG did not recommend criminal prosecution (as Comey has the “What
Me Worry Look” of Alfred E. Neuman of Mad
Magazine-
creating total outrage and further debasement of a once high integrity,
high standard FBI);
Biden’s ability to remain the master of the gaffe is still mind boggling as he recounted a story of his appearing in Afghanistan to award a
medal to a Naval officer who tried to save a wounded soldier but the facts were
misstated a concern over his mental fitness that is becoming more apparent with
each gaffe; CNN has already signed up to protect Biden from his gaffes by
comparing him to Reagan’s use of a movie on World War II when handing out
Medals of Honor; on the heels of Andrew Luck retiring due to injuries after 5
years, Ron Gronkowski revealed the injuries suffered while playing including
having a centimeter of fluid collecting in his brain (any speculation he will
return really should be dismissed); for Jeopardy
fans good news as Alec Trabec announced that he is back from pancreatic cancer therapy
and will be host as the game show starts another season on September 9, 2019;
the Bill of Rights assault by the Blues continuing after their war on the 2nd
have now declared war on the 1st embracing non religious believers
and attacking the concept of religious liberty (makes you want to believe in Hell
and encourage its enlargement to place these Blues as they fade into the left);
Hurricane Dorian is getting stronger and may hit Florida as a Cat 4 which will
be potentially devastating; in a possible sign that it bias may be hitting readership and
revenues, the Washington Post has published
an advertising section extolling China’s points of view in what many observers
indicate is pure propaganda for China; in Chicago through August 28, 2019, 1842
have been shot of whom 308 have died and in Baltimore with a fraction of
Chicago’s population, 225 have been murdered in Baltimore (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 Mariah
Carey, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you are
living in a pluviose environment and a relevant quote from the Ingrid Berman on
dealing with cancer, secure in the knowledge that if you

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

Soviet Union’s Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site.
2. National
Sacrodosis Day—attempted to be treated by a joint resolution of Congress in
1994 which failed and is now celebrated on April 30th of each year

disease which can be fatal.
3. 2005
Number One Song— the number one song in 2005 on a run of 15 weeks in that
position was “We Belong Together” by Mariah Carey. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0habxsuXW4g .
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “pluviose” which means rainy which
describes Southeastern Alaska to a tee.
5. From Sweden With Love—celebrating
the birth on this day in 1915 of noted Swedish Academy Award winning and
nominated Actress who sadly was a heavy smoker and died too early with many
movies yet to be made of breast cancer after an 8 year struggle on her 67th
birthday.
On this day in:
a.
1911 Ishii, the last known survivor of the Indian Yahi Tribe, came into contact
after hiding for years from the whiteman with Californians to die on March 25,
1916 from tuberculosis.

e. 2005 Hurricane
Katrina, a Cat 5 Hurricane devastated most of U.S. Gulf Coast from Louisiana

Reflections
on cancer from one who fought it for 8 years but continued to perform her
incredible craft: “Cancer victims who don't accept their fate, who don't learn
to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left.” Ingrid
Bergman how true her observation was.
