Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October 15, 2019 The pathological
liar in chief Adam Schiff is facing a censure resolution co-sponsored by 125
Reds over his “parody” of Trump’s call to the Ukraine President (Blue probably
will go gutless on this but as more and more Americans are worried over the
closed door Banana Republic nature of this impeachment inquiry not voted on by
the House and exclusion of all Reds it may do them well to join in to at least
create the façade of an impartial process instead of a witch-hunt); after
stuffing his mouth with ill gotten gains from the quid pro quo cookie jar,
Hunter in a better late than never moment vows he will not be involved in a
foreign companies while his father is president (he also affirmed that Bidens
never attack children as Joe was calling Donald Trump, Jr,, “Prince Humperdinck
that noted unsavory character in The
Princess Bride). CNN after the second batch of secret recordings by a newly
fired CNN staffer have been released which as might be expected show bias
favoring Warren and discounting Yang and Gabbard is being slammed as it
prepares to host the “Dirty Dozen” Blue debate tonight (CNN while its acronym floats
to the surface to smell is seeing its ratings sink faster than a huge rock of
bias (when will Zucker realize we are not suckers and will not listen to or
view his brand of slanted anti-Trump “fake news”?); another Blue, Governor
Cuomo follows precedent of treating African-Americans as plantation slaves good
only for their predictable vote, as he talks about Sicilians being referred to uncensored
“Nigger Wops” (hopefully more and more blacks see the hypocritical abandonment
of them by the Blues and will turn to Trump and the Reds); the Chinese must
have been thrilled with the Sharkanado
Series as they have unveiled a 400 mph stealth helicopter called the Great
White Shark which looks more like a UFO Flying Saucer:
just
when you think it can’t get any worse in the Middle East, news that Turkey may
be holding 50 nuclear weapons as bargain chips in its incursion into Syria; as
of October 14, 2019, 2221 have been
shot, of whom, 384 have died; in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s
population, 273 have been murdered in Baltimore (when will Chicago and
Baltimore 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 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 the Four Seasons, the fact that you enjoyed prepollence in your field
of work and a relevant quote on the lessons learned from the U.S.
involvement in Vietnam from Jeane Kirkpatrick, 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 Students Day—created originally to commemorate the death of 1,200 students
during World War II at the University of Prague by the Nazis and now since 2010
to commemorate the birthday of A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India
and noted scientist in rocketry and a teacher in the sciences.
2. National White Cane Safety Day—promoting awareness since 1964 of the
need to be aware of the visually impaired and the blind using a white cane to
aid in their mobility.
3. 1962 Number One Song— the number one song in 1962 on
this day on a run of 5 weeks in the position was “Sherry” by the Four Seasons.
Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myIG9PEwXZw Frankie Valli
one of the original founders of the band is still touring and the band’s life
was memorialized in the movie Jersey Boys.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “prepollence” which means to achieve
predominance which is what China is trying to achieve on the world stage.
5. No Glory In Going First—celebrating the birthday of noted French writer and philosopher born
on this day in 1926 and who had the dubious distinction to be the first French public
member to die of AIDS at the age of 57 on June 25, 1984.
On this day in:
a. 1965 the Vietnam War was just
coming into its own when at a Catholic
Worker rally against the Vietnam War the first draft card was burned
prompting the first arrest.
b. 1989 Wayne Gretsky became the
leading scorer of goals in the NHL and would continue to score until he retired
in 1999 with 1016 goals to be inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame almost
immediately as the waiting time for him after retirement was waived.
c. 1994
the Clinton Administration returned Haiti’s first democratically elected
president, Jean-Betrand Aristide to the island nation.
d. 2008 the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 733.08 or
7.87%, the second worst drop in its history as the U.S. slid into the Great
Recession.
e. 2011 hundreds of thousands of protectors protesting income
inequality, corporate influence over government and corruption took to the
streets in numerous cities in Europe and other locations across the globe.
Reflections on the Vietnam War: “Vietnam
presumably taught us that the United States could not serve as the world's
policeman; it should also have taught us the dangers of trying to be the
world's midwife to democracy when the birth is scheduled to take place under
conditions of guerrilla war.” Jeane Kirkpatrick, former U.S. Ambassador to the
United Nations.
