Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October 13, 2019 Hunter caught
with his hand twice in the quid pro quo cookie jar once in Ukraine and the
other in China came to his senses and resigned from his board position on the
$1.5 billion Chinese funds that in all likelihood received money from investors
due to Biden’s lead among Blues and a perception by the Chinese he would win;
Americans really should learn the answer of the involvement of Joe Biden seeing
that his son was not investigated in his capacity as a consultant to a Ukraine
energy company; AOC at another climate change conference was playing the guilt
trip on those who contest climate change in tears that she would not bring a
child into the world only to have him or her die too soon due to climate change
(calendar to talk to her in around 18 years when her time to give birth has
passed and see what her new predictions on the Earth’s demise are); Schiff under
growing attacks on his lying and deception tried a mea culpa admitting he
should have been more transparent on the whistleblower (future acts and
deceptions will reveal if this leopard has changed spots); while the open
border fanatics in the Blue party fiddle as the illegals try to flood into this
country, Mexico is doe far more for our security that the Blues are trying to prevent
as Mexico stops a caravan of illegals from Africa and Central America; on the
drug war front, the cartels are ramping up the flow of meth across our Southern
Border, the cartels have stepped up their production of meth and are are
smuggling it across our borders in historically high numbers while Blues have
their heads in the sand; on the illegal alien front Trump’s administration is
trying 24/7 to protect all citizens regardless of race or gender from the flood
of illegal aliens and ICE arrested Domingo Ramirez-Cayente, an illegal deported
in 2010 who returned illegally and shot to death a transgender in Dallas last
month:
,
hopefully another potential Willie Horton moment to pin on the
open border Blues as this scumbag posted bond and without a requirement of ankle
monitoring device, no no one’s surprise, has fled and is on the lose; Turkey is
continuing its advance into Turkey amidst news that its air strikes targeting journalists
and civilians have killed 9 people while ISIS fighters are escaping Kurdish
captivity; this mess gets worse as Syria is advancing its forces to its border
with Turkey and one could fear clashes between Syrian and Turkish forces with a
very real possibility that Russians will get involved against Turkey; in Chicago
be prepared not to ask please pass the mashed potato but rather please pass the
Glock as 4 people eating dinner were by an acquaintance shot and killed and
Mayor Lightfoot when it comes to preventing CPD from cooperating with DHS is ordering
a heavy foot on the noncooperation gas; in Chicago through October 12, 2019, 2210
have been shot, of whom, 382 have died, ending the miracle of no deaths on the 11th
; in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, 270 have been murdered
in Baltimore (when will Chicago and Baltimore get serious abo ut 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 and when will
the left focus on the problem of color on color shootings in Blue run cities
which have been more deadly and more numerous than random mass shootings?
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link
to Larry Verne, the fact that you are doomed to listen to a politician prelect
to you and a relevant quote on the survivor of members of a rugby team
that crashed in the Andes Mountains by Piers
Paul Reid, 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. International Day for Disaster
Reduction—created by the General Assembly in 2009 to promote a global
culture of natural disaster reduction, including prevention, mitigation
and preparedness.
2. Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day—promoting
awareness of and the need to raise funds to find a treatment for a disease that affects 2,000,000 women a year and is the
most common form of cancer that when it reaches Stage 4, metastasizing to other
organs, it is incredibly deadly.
3. 1960 Number One Song— the number
one song in 1960 on this day on a run of 1 week in the position was “Mr. Custer”
by Larry Verne. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRarvh-BxQ
[ Verne
had this song as his only hit and in 1963 retired to build movie sets for 35 years
until Mr. Custer sent him on his last ride to die of Alzheimer ’s disease on
October 8, 2013 at the age of 77.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “prelect”
which means to lecture which politicians are prone to do to us instead of
listening.
5. Social Unjustice—celebrating or bemoaning the
birth on this day in 1989 of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who was elected in 2018
as the youngest female youngest female to take a seat in Congress. Her leftist or
socialist policies and climate change predictions have driven the Blue party
further to the left and away from the center than it has ever been and has
energized the Reds more so than the Botox Queen Nancy Pelosi could ever do.
On this day in:
a. 1775
the predecessor to the United States Navy, the Continental Navy, was
established.
b. 1903
the Boston Red Sox won the first World Series, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the 8th game.
c.
1972 A Uruguayan
Air Force Flight 571 carrying an Argentine rugby club team crashed in the Andes Mountains.
28 survived the crash. All but 16, who ate the frozen flesh of persons who had
died, succumbed before rescue on December 2, 1972
d. 1976 the first photograph
of the Ebola virus was taken by an electron microscope at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention by Doctor F.A. Murphy.
e. 1983 Ameritech Mobile
Communications in Chicago launched the world’s first cellular network, marking
the beginning of the end of our leisure
time.
Reflections
on surviving after the crash of Flight 571 in the Andes and after hearing that
the search for their plane had been terminated after 11 days: “The others who
had clustered around Roy, upon hearing the news, began to sob and pray, all
except [Nando] Parrado, who looked calmly up at the mountains which rose to the
west. Gustavo [Coco] Nicolich came out of the aircraft and, seeing their faces,
knew what they had heard… [Nicolich] climbed through the hole in the wall of
suitcases and rugby shirts, crouched at the mouth of the dim tunnel, and looked
at the mournful faces which were turned towards him. 'Hey boys,' he shouted,
'there's some good news! We just heard on the radio. They've called off the
search.' Inside the crowded aircraft there was silence. As the hopelessness of
their predicament enveloped them, they wept. 'Why the hell is that good news?'
Paez shouted angrily at Nicolich. 'Because it means,' [Nicolich] said, 'that
we're going to get out of here on our own.' The courage of this one boy
prevented a flood of total despair.“ Piers Paul Reid, Alive, The Story Of The Andes Survivors.umb before rescue on December 2 Please
