Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For November 18, 2019 The Lying Schiff Impeachment Circus continues this
week with Schiff rallying the California Democratic Convention in Long Beach
that he is going to get the president but one of his MSM allies, Politico, has just been hit with a $25
million libel sue brought by a Kash Patel, a senior counterterrorism expert in
the White House that he was feeding false information on Ukraine corruption
during the campaign to Trump’s campaign (interesting news as Blue
Representative from New Jersey Van Drew has slammed the impeachment proceedings
as being akin to a third world nation; Red Representative Zeldin from New York
who participated in closed door depositions of David Holmes assistant to “I
heard” Ambassador Taylor and Mark Sandy of the Office of Management and Budget
who testified on the holding of Ukraine funds has demanded proceedings be put
on hold until the transcripts of those depositions are released (Zeldin cannot
release the substance of the depositions until transcripts are released but my
bet is that the testimony is damning to the Lying Schiff Impeachment Circus); with
the Ukraine quid pro quo and bribery blowing up in the their faces the Blues
like playing a political Whack-A-Mo game are opened up a new probe following
Stone’s convictions of lying to Congress that Trump lied to Mueller on
WikiLeaks (this will never end and if Trump wins in 2020 against the pathetic
field of losers and the Reds do not regain the House look for 4 more years of
impeachment mania); Title IX now rules in college sports locker rooms as Penn has
cancelled the rest of its women’s volleyball season due to “vulgar” and
“offensive” posters in their locker room; SCOTUS has handed Trump a victory
over release of his tax returns as Chief Justice Roberts ruled for and
indefinite delay in their release (may be a pyrrhic victory as it will add fued
to the Blues’ argument of what does he have to hide?); Bloomberg has heard the
siren call of the left and has apologized for his continuing the “stop and
frisk” policies of Giuliani which played a vital role in reducing dramatically
murders in New York City); the death of Epstein and his sexual proclivities
still cast a shadow over the MSM as it refuses to disclose demands by House
Republicans to investigate why the Always Biased for Clinton Network spiked a story
on his proclivities and indirectly Bill’s by flying numerous times on the
“Lolita Express”; in Chicago with a new interim police chief as of November
17, 2019, 2472 have been shot, of whom, 418 have died; Baltimore with a
fraction of Chicago’s population, is coming in second place in the amount of
gun deaths as 304 have been murdered
(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 Boston, the fact you are capable of being prosodic in your writing and
a relevant sick quote suicide at Jonestown by Jim Jones, 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. National Push Button Phone Day—celebrating
the commercial introduction of the push button phone on this day in 1963 from a
concept introduced by Henry Dreyfus at the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962.
2. National Vichyssoise Day—commemorating the introduction
by chef Louis Diat while working at the Ritz Carleton in 1917; celebrating a
chilled soup in the late fall where a large part of the U.S. is freezing may
seem out of place unless in Southern California where the temperatures have
soared to the low 90’s.
3. 1986 Number 1 Number One Song— the
number one song in 1986 on this day on a run of 2 weeks in the position was “Amanda”
by Boston. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOThAc2bNHs.
The band survived a breach of contract lawsuit by CBS in which it prevailed against
CBS and is still going strong.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “prosodic”
which means pertaining to versification which means converting prose to verse,
a habit this poet is prone to suffer.
5. Reptiles Found Even In Foxes--celebrating the
birthday on this day in 1970 of noted television journalist Megyn Kelley who
was a superstar journalist at Fox but may have run afoul of the reptilian brain
of Roger Ailes and after a stint with NBC is between positions.
On this day in:
a. 1928
the Disney Corporation released the sound synchronized animated short Steamboat Willie, featuring Mickey and
Minnie Mouse.
b. 1978 the leader of the Peoples Temple in
Jonestown, Guyana, Jim Jones led his followers to a massive murder-suicide
resulting in the death of 918 people including 270 children forced to swallow
cyanide laced Kool-Aid.
c. 1988
President Reagan signed a bill permitting the execution of drug traffickers, an
act that Trump is trying to given federal courts the right to impose again.
d. 1999 the Aggie Bonfire collapsed
during its construction, killing 12 and injuring 27 others; a bonfire memorial
now rests on the site and the tradition was continued in 2003 although on a
much smaller scale and under strict design standards to promote safety.
e. 2003 the Massachusetts
Supreme Council Court in the case of Goodridge v. Department of Public Safety
ruled that the Commonwealth’s ban on same sex marriages was unconstitutional
and gave the state 180 days to pass legislation providing for such marriages.
Reflections from one very
sick and deranged cult murderer on Jonestown: “Take our life from us. We laid
it down. We got tired. We didn't commit suicide. We committed an act of
revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world.“ Jim
Jones from his suicide death tape.
